How to import balcony

Introduction

This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model balcony of the bundle balcony. Please note that all the screenshots in this tutorial were made using a Mac, however it should be no problem to interpret what is equivalent on a Windows or Linux machine.

Extract and Access

I am assuming that you have already downloaded the file Suramar Doodads.zip and know where it is located on your hard drive. The file is compressed as a zip archive. Most modern operating systems allow you to unzip the archive by double clicking it and dragging the contents out to the desktop (or any other place).

When you have extracted the archive, it should look like this:

balcony
balcony1.mdx
astroarch03.blp
astrobridge03.blp
astrogem02.blp
astrotrim04.blp
astrotrim05.blp
astrowall01.blp

astrowall03.blp
dungeon01.blp
dungeon01b.blp
grass02.blp
stairs1.blp
tilefloor1.blp
trims4.blp

Open World Editor and click Module -> Import Manager:

This is the Import Manager. From here you can add and remove custom files from your map file:

You're done

You have now imported your model. Don't be afraid when you place the object and it appears to be a purple cube. Just close the map, re-open it and it will look fine in the World Editor.

If you did exactly as this guide told you and it did not work properly. Please make a thread in the Modeling & Animation Forum containing the following:

  • Link to the model and the tutorial
  • Precise description of what does not work
  • The map you tried to import it to (with the model imported)
And we will do what we can to help you.
