Help with models

[Moltke]

I'm not sure how to get the game to load country specific models instead of the ugly generic ones. I'm using the HSR models, but everything shows as default in-game.

Is there a guide to the models directory out there anywhere?

You probably mean the models pictures, e.g.

...\GFX\interface\models\model_0_0

have you tried to add your country specific as

model_USA_0_0

?

Graphics are found in graphics/interface/models

as ill_bri_XXX_(number).bmp for brigades and ill_div_XXX_(number).bmp for divisions.

Country specific names for models are found in config/models.csv (open with text editor)

I have the proper files in the /models folder (HSR installs them automatically) and they've always worked before. I'm really confused as to why they stopped showing in game lately. I haven't changed them and wouldn't have even bothered about them except that now they're gone.

This is an example of the model filenames I should (and used to) see: GER_model_0_0.bmp

For some reason, I'm seeing this file instead: Model_0_0.bmp

I uninstalled both HSR and HoI2, comletely wiped the directory, reinstalled and it's still the same.
Here are the first few GER entries in models.csv:

#;;;;;;;;;;;x

I copied the /models directory from the HSR2\GFX mod to the main GFX directory and now it works.

For the life of me I can't figure out why the HSR icons quit showing up, is there some bug with the mod-dir?

Yes, mod-dir creates some problems. Tech pictures also do not work from the mod-dir.
