I downloaded the Eboshi Ironworks, moved the .s .sd to shapes, moved the two .ace files to textures and copied the ref text to the .ref file. I'm asking for help because I have downloaded hundred's of objects before but this one has me stumped. Your help is appreciated.

Most probable cause is a corrupted REF file.If NO objects appear (except track), suspect that the ref file is not unicode.If only the new stuff is missing and it was added to the end of the ref file, look there for a syntax error. Likewise if you added it nearer the top and lots of stuff is missing.Martyn T. Griffin

Thanks Martyn. I started from the bottom of the .ref file moving up and found two closing brackets that had been entered. Everything South of those two brackets were not loaded.
Thanks again!!

You need to be careful with the .ref file excerpts that are included with object downloads. I have seen many that had an extra closing parenthesis at the top. If you find that, skip that parenthesis and move on to the first line of the first entry. Make sure you get the last parenthesis.Cal Rasmussen
