Well in the "Changing Animal Attributes" tutorial it should tell you how to change conservation status. It's in the same area as the Common Problems.

For MM2 animals you need to have the bfb and bfm files, as well as the "Materials" folder. The BFB is going to be needed to changed in the same way that you would change a nif, and you need to make sure that the files in the materials correspond to what you say in the bfb

danny, I think think a flashing image is almost always an error in the codename. Some where it got missed or spelled incorrectly, in those files you were editing earlier.

all the files are spelt right in the materials folder( bfmat files) or does there have to be numbers after the codename cos sum1 else had numbers after there codename, could that be the problem. Also the gift doesnt work it just shows as a white icon and when u highlight it theres no discription and it has got discription ect in lang file and i couldnt find help on gift eiher so help on this too plz.

kk ive fixed the bfb and ive got everything working including my skin. Im making a Striped Marlin and i cant get the gift working cos there are no gift files 4 the marlin. Also i cant get the location to work, it keeps changing from different 1s eg if i click the marlin it says its from africa then if a click on a polar bear then the marlin again it then says the marlin is from the artic. Why?
