What are you trying to do with this ODF and why do you only have a TGA? The GeometryName parameter refers to a MSH name, so you can't put the name of a TGA.

usually the name of the object (is it an object ) does there
for example imp_fly_tiefighter.msh would go there

Please stop asking stuff like this all the time. You never give any actual information and you never seem to try things yourself. I am just trying to tell you that things won't be as confusing if you research them more. I don't intend to sound mean. All I am saying is you should just spend 5 minutes in the odf tutorial found here:
http://www.filefront.com/9666730/ODFs-f ... r-WordPad/
and here is one for lua

and here is one for sides:

and lastly for everything else (links are all here if you scroll down my friend

)
forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=13806
now go and learn some stuff please. I really hope this helps you out!

If you're going to make a custom side and you want to see your custom side in-game in working order, then you'll have to do some basic LUA editing. That's why MrCrayon posted a link to a LUA tutorial. And of course, the other tutorial he linked to is for making a custom side.

Which means he still needs an appropriate MSH file. How else will the texture show up?

Because of this:
What he's basically trying to say is that 95% of what you're asking is covered in the documentation that came with the tools, or in the FAQ / Everything You Need thread at the top of this forum.
We want to help you learn modding, but modding is sortof the opposite of school. In school they teach you. With modding you're expected to dig in and try to figure it out, asking questions when you're stuck. Don't be discouraged -- just focus on researching before asking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, that being said you need to go back and read the documentation. All of this is covered in-depth there.
