OHH, you meant load in the ZERO EDITOR?? xDD
Missunderstood in pm.
Maybe you are in the wrong layer? Try to change it in conquest? But they should be visible in every layer...Erm, I would try it with conquestlayer....

What mode are the CPs for? Did you load them in the LUA, if necessary?

Please read your above post on the rules regarding double posting.
Regarding your question about what it does? It simply tells the game that that particular object is a cp

Object mode allows you to select and place objects, and the name you type into the input field is the odf name of the object, or click browse. In this case, it's the typical conquest CP. It would be in your best interest to read the documentation that came with the tools (as well as the FAQ thread at the top of this subforum), and to play around in the editor a few times, in order to learn what everything does.
Also, the CPs are not invisible, unless they are missing. They're actually small, transparent objects in ZE, which can make them hard to spot unless you know where to look for them. The easiest way to locate a CP object is to enter region edit mode and locate the regions associated with the CP. CP objects are almost always in or near a capture region, and often have a control region nearby as well.

Look closely - it's there. The stock CP skin has an alpha layer that shows up in ZE (all alpha layers do) but not in-game. That is, in ZE, it'll be transparent. Zoom in on it, and it'll be there, just transparent.

It's there. Redownloading the Mod Tools won't change a thing.

plus, to add on to my misery, the spawn paths and regions that i place to make a cp do not appear either, but they do on the toggle browser

its fine, i figured out what the problem was with the cp's if anybody else has this problem than this was my solution: in layer mode the conquest layer is on no on show, u need to turn it on by righ clicking on the conquest layer and click "show layer"
