Red Dragon
If one were to love...LOVE...the mod of a Red Dragon that changes the Old Black Dragon to said Red Dragon, how would one go about importing the necessary files into the Tribes of the East expansion to the REAL Red Dragon.
In other words, I love the model someone created before TotE. It made a Red Dragon from the Black Dragon Spot. I have those files. I want to use those files instead of the files that came with TotE's Red Dragon. I can't find where to put them. I go to [model], and there isn't one for the Red Dragon in TotE, yet that is where it is in the mod.
Any help would be awesome!
Thanks,
Sunjah

There already are a few modded versions of the red dragon, so I'll list them here. If you don't find what you want, we'll get down to the explanations you're asking for:
- by fiur: thread
- by Slapzech: thread
- by Shadow of Death: screenshot, download
- and the older red dragon skin by Vokial placed on the Red Dragon in ToE by me:
download

Thank you very much. The last one on the list, "skin by Vokial" and placed in TotE by you, was the EXACT one that I wanted to get in the game as my "Red Dragon" (only mod I found changed the black dragon to this one). I need to give you money or something, you are absolutely awesome when it comes to giving help for this game.
Some of those links are broken; the one by Fiur and the one by Slapzech. One gave me a 404 error, the other said the file was deleted due to time.
I really do appreciate your help, I am going in-game now to test out these two Red Dragon mods!
Ps- off topic, I know, but have you any word on 3.1 update to the manual? I can't wait to print it and have it bound when it comes out.
EDIT 1: The "Shadow of Death" one has a link and I downloaded, but the file is corrupted. I tried twice to make sure. Looks like the only one that works is Vokial's and your's, and that is awesome because that's the one I wanted anyway.
Awesome!
EDIT 2: I have it now. For some reason, when I unzipped the files, updated them, and rezipped them, the names were changed. For example, the file "DangeonDragon_LOD-DungeonDragon_LOD.(Texture).dds" was written something like "DANGEONGRAG~.(Texture).dds"! I don't remember exactly, and I can't seem to replicate it, but about 6 files had this happen. I just copied and pasted from the original file, and now it works. He is VERY Red!!! YES!!!
Any idea how that could've possibly happen? No matter how I try I cannot do it again, but at least it works in-game now.

Indeed, Fiur's and Slapzech's mods are no longer available. Thanks for letting us know. Maybe their authors will put them back somewhere.
I tried downloading the one from Shadow_of_Death and had no problem. It worked correctly (the archive can be opened, it works in-game). Maybe the server had a glitch, or your connection.
For your unzip/rezip filename problem, I have no idea where it came from. If you couldn't reproduce it, I guess it's not so bad anyway.
Finally, a quick off-topic answer: manual 3.1 cannot be released before patch 3.1. 
Since the patch got delayed, the manual update is delayed as well. Maybe I'll release a 3.0a to at least fix the bugs in 3.0 (I was expecting the patch to be released sooner myself), if I have the time. But it doesn't change your issue: I wouldn't print the manual before patch 3.1 anyway, in case some mechanics are changed.
