Introduction

This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model Dark Magician Girl (Yugioh Duel Monsters) of the bundle Dark Magician Girl (Yugioh Duel Monsters). 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 Dark Magician Girl (Yugioh Duel Monsters).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:

Dark Magician Girl (Yugioh Duel Monsters)
dmg_hair.blp
dmg_outfit.blp
dmg_face.blp
dark magician girl no particles.mdx

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:

Importing dark magician girl no particles.mdx

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

Next select 'dark magician girl no particles.mdx' in the folder which you extracted from the zip archive:

Dark Magician Girl (Yugioh Duel Monsters)
dark magician girl no particles.mdx
dmg_face.blp
dmg_hair.blp
dmg_outfit.blp

The file has been properly added to the map archive:

dark magician girl no particles.mdx
Model
297
war3mapimported/dark magician girl no particles.mdx

Done, you have imported the file dark magician girl no particles.mdx.

Importing dmg_face.blp

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

Next select 'dmg_face.blp' in the folder which you extracted from the zip archive:

Dark Magician Girl (Yugioh Duel Monsters)
dark magician girl no particles.mdx
dmg_face.blp
dmg_hair.blp
dmg_outfit.blp

As you see, the field "Full Path" starts with something like "war3mapimported/". But most models do not look for their assets in that directory. The assets need to be in a specific location in order for the model to find them. Therefore, you will have to change the "Full Path" to what the model looks for. You can find the required paths in the readme.txt and also on this page.
