umm 2 things you either mean like havig a shed loads of tanks overwriting the warthogs or actually making a tank be like the warthog example using a tree as a rocket launcher?

If you mena the first then all you have to do is simply swap the offsets of the two vehicles in HMT3 by simply clicking swap.

ok, you arent quite getting what i want, nothing compicated, just, for example a tank that looks like a warthog, or say a tree that looks like the mc, and other things like that.

I dont think you can swap scenery PC models, but I think it works on some other things...

I have just swapped the values of the vehicles and that has worked. But the characteristics change as well as the model. I dont think that is what your looking for. So i guess i better leave...

Im hiding in my hole now.

it might be possible, but I doubt it...

maybe you could batch extract a map, replace the rocket launcher model files, and rename them all accordingly (grafting in Deadly Shadow's Techniques)? maybe, but I doubt it would work; the batch extracting/map rebuilding business is a lucrative one...
