I'm currently trying to resolve this problem with the LOD on my characters. I resorted going back to the LOD models to see if there's anything I did wrong. One thing I did notice was on the official models, when imported, they have the LOD number (or whatever it's called) next to the models. When I checked mine, they didn't.
Westwood Model on the left, my model on the right.
Also, here are the W3D settings I use on my objects (although they vary slightly such as the collision boxes are hidden).
When I exported my model, they had the .00 after the name, "Body_L0.00" for example. I had a look at the Mammoth Tank Westwood provided and exported it. As it should, the LOD numbers appeared next to the correct object name. After playing around with it, I found out that the Origin box played an important part in the LOD.
To test this, I made a box, and named it "Box_L0.00". Exported it, and on import it's called "Box_L0". I added an Origin box, link it to it, did the same process and it's still called "Box_L0". I tried it with the Origin box called "Origin.00" but still the same happened. I then created another Origin box called "Origin.01" with the addition of "Origin.00". I also cloned the box ("Box_L1.01) linking it to "Origin.01". I then exported them, and on import, they showed up as "Box_L0.00" and "Box_L1.01".
I'm not sure if an Origin box is required for the character models since the LOD sets are all separate. Is there something I've missed?

Each Level Of Detail needs its own Origin.number bone, or else it won't function properly.
