Re: Other ta3d modding Stuff....
Looking for "GLSL tutorial" with Google gave me an interesting link:

Regarding TDF tutorials, OTA tutorials should be a good start. You may also want to have a look at: ftp://downloads.ta3d.org/misc/modding/

Re: R2887 - mod units not found anymore.
So I found the bug, it should be fixed now : TA3D expects a buildpic from anims//unitname_gadget.gaf or the unitpic but it was only checking for the OpenGL texture handle whose creation is delayed until it's needed (now it loads the texture data if it detects it hasn't been done) so it was failing.

Can you spawn any of the not found units ? Use the spawn command in the game console:
spawn("unit_name", player_id, number_of_units_to_spawn)
player_id ranges from 0 to the number of players in the game minus 1.
spawn("unit_name", player_id, number_of_units_to_spawn)
player_id ranges from 0 to the number of players in the game minus 1.

You may want to try the new beta (r2849) which should be more stable.
