Alright, so I'm having a problem!!!
Never seen this before, but I NifSwapped Arpad over and saved it as Arpad.nif, it shows up in Blender, but for whatever reason does not show up in my file folder.
Check it out...
...has anybody (and by anybody I really mean LH makers, but feel free to respond if you know what's up) encountered this before?
You should also note that GUPTAturban.nif and MVNStache.nif are also not present in the regular folder. Which is odd because I have never seen this before at all.

It sounds like you are looking at two different paths somehow. We can see the first one,
We can't see the full path in the second one you are looking at. Maybe it's the BTS, not warlords, assets\art\leaderheads\mehmedII you are looking at in the second screenshot.
Code:
C:\program files\firaxis games\sid meier's civilization 4\warlords\assets\art\leaderheads\mehmedIIWe can't see the full path in the second one you are looking at. Maybe it's the BTS, not warlords, assets\art\leaderheads\mehmedII you are looking at in the second screenshot.

Or maybe you don't have to write in that folder? Hmmm... sounds odd on Windows though, but maybe the folder you'd like to save into is owned by a different user, let's say Jekyll. When you try to save the file as Hyde, it doesn't let you. Well, even if this is the case, I'd await an error message. Otherwise the file might simply be hidden... Doesn't sound probable either, it's just brainstorming. Well, it sounds like a Blender bug. You might consider to google into that direction. Sorry, I suppose I wasn't really helpful...

I think I know what the problem is. For some reason, at least on my computer, you cannot save anything in the "program files" folder. It's happened to me before when I try to save dds files there. On my image editing program the file is listed, but when you are just looking at the folder without using the program, you cannot see it. I would suggest that you save your files in the "my documents" folder, that's what I do. Then you should see the file listed.

Thanks for the responses, I'm pretty sure I can work around it by simply importing the Arpad.nif (which is the NifSwapped file) into Blender, and then re-exporting it.
But I have done this plenty of times, so of course it is the same path and everything. I'm not new at this, and I have never seen this happen so I'm a bit bothered by it. Just figured I'd run it by everyone else to see if they have seen anything like this before.

I've never seen that but I keep my LHs ina mod folder called newLH. So I can test graphics and modular files.

Hi The Capo, any news? Can't wait to see what you've come up with!

No news, Arpad and Yagan are nearly finished though. I just haven't really had much time lately except to check in on CFC and maybe make a post or two. I promise to get it out as soon as I can, the time I took off wound up getting used up with other stuff.

Hey Cap Arpad and Yagan done?

Yeah, they're finished, I'm just being a prick and not releasing them...
Just kidding, c'mon guys I'm usually one of the quickest LH-makers around, so cut me some slack here. I really want these to be finished, I just haven't had the time. I'll see what I can do tomorrow night.
Also keep in mind I am simultaneously working on a mod, so there's that to take into account as well.
EDIT: I promise whatever free time I find myself having tomorrow will be dedicated to LHs.

This means you finally finish Gerhardsen? Or your announced Canute?
@Capo: No need to rush the LHs. Release them when you think they are really ready. A few days won't count

I've always hated that bug....
Sorry for being off-topic, but as everyone else has said, don't rush your LHs if you don't have to. Take as much time as you need, which will let you improve the parts of the LH that you wouldn't notice if you rush it.

Alright, today I've got nothing to do (except for a lot of laundry and cleaning), so I'm going to at least get some final previews out and some in-game shots for you guys. I won't rush the LHs, don't worry about that, if I was going to do that I probably would have already released them.
So, hopefully everything goes well today.

I'm not being mean! I'm just giving him a hard time.. Just a little banter, if you will.
If I didn't love his great leaderheads, I wouldn't be bothering him.

Sorry guys, my damn girlfriend is friggin' ALWAYS around.
Well, I threw Arpad in-game (the texture is not finished by the way) and he looks pretty decent I think. I still have a lot of touchups to make and I have to retexture him but I think he is coming together nicely. Definitely not ready for release though, here's a screen-shot:
As far as Cavour, Marcos and Yagan go they all still need work. Cavour and Yagan are close to being finished and Marcos, which was a Tony Kheil (did I spell that right?) request made on ModCast is the farthest from being done. I should have them finished in around a week or two, we'll see.
