MP .ATR files not showing up

[Straw 0]

Right, so I have "How to make a skin" down, and I thought I have "How to make a .ATR" file down as well.

I want to exspand the number of .ATR files in the MP platoons. I have tried to "cut-and paste" as well as create new .ATR files, placing them in my MP folder, platoon 1. When I go into MP mode I am left with only a choice of 4. The point here is that in CO-OP mode we want to have more unique skins.

sample:

conversion of exsisting file:

name: mp_plt1_snip

<ActorFile>

<VersionNumber>1.000000</VersionNumber>

<ArmorLevel>1</ArmorLevel>

<ActorName>Straw</ActorName>

<ClassName>rifleman</ClassName>

<ModelFace>straw.rsb</ModelFace>

<BlinkFaceName>straw_blink.rsb</BlinkFaceName>

<DesertModelFace/>

<DesertBlinkFace/>

<JungleModelFace/>

<JungleBlinkFace/>

<KitPath>rifleman</KitPath>

<ModelName>straw.chr</ModelName>

<LOD2>straw_a.chr</LOD2>

<LOD3>straw_b.chr</LOD3>

<LOD4>straw_b.chr</LOD4>

<Weapon>4</Weapon>

<Stamina>4</Stamina>

<Stealth>4</Stealth>

<Leadership>4</Leadership>

<ScaleX>1.000000</ScaleX>

<ScaleY>1.000000</ScaleY>

<ScaleZ>1.000000</ScaleZ>

</ActorFile>

The skin works great, and this one shows up, but the kit, even though it says rifleman in MP mode selection, is still the sniper kit. I have tried many differnt kit paths and nothing changed but the name...

Now I go and make a new .ATR file...

name: mp_plt1_genr

<ActorFile>

<VersionNumber>1.000000</VersionNumber>

<ArmorLevel>2</ArmorLevel>

<ActorName>generic</ActorName>

<ClassName>rifleman</ClassName>

<ModelFace>generic_head.rsb</ModelFace>

<BlinkFaceName>generic_blink.rsb</BlinkFaceName>

<DesertModelFace/>

<DesertBlinkFace/>

<JungleModelFace/>

<JungleBlinkFace/>

<KitPath>rifleman</KitPath>

<ModelName>bc_generic.chr</ModelName>

<LOD2>bc_generic_a.chr</LOD2>

<LOD3>bc_generic_b.chr</LOD3>

<LOD4>bc_generic_b.chr</LOD4>

<Weapon>4</Weapon>

<Stamina>4</Stamina>

<Stealth>4</Stealth>

<Leadership>4</Leadership>

<ScaleX>1.000000</ScaleX>

<ScaleY>1.000000</ScaleY>

<ScaleZ>1.000000</ScaleZ>

</ActorFile>

And this one does not show up.

I am using a version of these skins in the 4th platoon so I know the skins work, I reworked the files in stead of making new ones but it seems that no matter what I do I cannot A/ make a new .ATR file work and B/ make a new kit selection work.

what am I doing wrong?

thanks
