Ok, I am trying to add a new tag to Bloodgulch. Here is what I did that didn't work:

1. I extracted BG with HMT.
2. I created a new folder in the vehicles folder called newbanshee.
3. I coppied the banshee_mp.vehi.xml and banshee_mp.vehi.meta to newbanshee folder.
4. I renamed the banshee_mp.vehi.xml to newbanshee.vhi.xml.
5. I renamde the banshee_mp.vehi.meta to newbanshee.vehi.meta.
6. I opened banshee_mp.vehi.xml into notepad and changed the 6th line from
<Filename>vehicles\banshee\banshee_mp</Filename>
to
<Filename>vehicles\newbanshee\newbanshee_mp</Filename>
7. I rebuilt the map using HMT and added the newbanshee.vehi.meta.
8. I opened SE3 and added the tag info for the newbanshee
9. I duplicated one of the regular banshees.
10. I then swapped the coppied regular banshee with the newbanshee

In SE the new banshee doesn't have a model and in the game it doesn't show up!!

Any help would be so so cool!

Thanks,
farklem

maybe you need to also copy the models also? I dont really know beyond that, your predicament is very confusing :(

Maybe the italic/bold highlighted spelling mistake might be why, try looking again :idea:

aparently yes... but you cannot create your own vehicles, like with Deadly's tut...

and nice catch, latot!
