Problem with importing.

[ripper24]

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting a dwarf (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/dwarfwarrior-49641/) to work after I imported it, I did everything the tutorial says, but when I click on the model to bind to the object, it automatically changes the directory from .mdx to .mdl and then when I place the dwarf it says it cant load the mdl. I've got the Frozen throne expansion installed.

Thanks all.

You have to import the texture, too (the file with .blp at the end)
Then in the Import Manager you have to set the path of the skin to "Textures\DwarfWarrior.blp".
It will still show as a green/black box, but if you save the map, close and re-open, it will be alright.

No I've imported the texture, like I said I've done everything the tutorial says. I've closed and opened the map several times.

I think it has to do with the program changing the directory to a .mdl when its a mdx immediately after I select it.

No that's always so, and it doesn't matter.
Are you sure you set the path to Textures\DwarfWarrior.blp ?

Yep I'm sure, and I checked it with other peoples maps, and some of their custom model's do the same "Unable to load (Model)".

I also have this same exact problem. For a different model on this website, but nonetheless it wont load. It automatically changes it to an .mdl.

I've tried your advice to put \texture before the file, but it still wont work. I've closed and re-opened multiple times, and followed the directions on the tutorial given for the model.

Thousands of people have downloaded files from here, but im yet to download one because of this same problem over and over again.
