How to import Maiden of Vigilance (WoW)

Introduction

This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model Maiden of Vigilance (WoW) of the bundle Maiden of Vigilance (WoW). 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 Maiden of Vigilance (WoW).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:

Maiden of Vigilance (WoW)
MaidenofVigilance.mdx
MaidenofVigilance_Fel.blp
MaidenofVigilance_Body.blp
MaidenofVigilance_Wind.blp
MaidenofVigilance_Mace.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:

Importing MaidenofVigilance.mdx

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

Next select 'MaidenofVigilance.mdx' in the folder which you extracted from the zip archive:

Maiden of Vigilance (WoW)
MaidenofVigilance.mdx
MaidenofVigilance_Body.blp
MaidenofVigilance_Fel.blp
MaidenofVigilance_Mace.blp
MaidenofVigilance_Wind.blp

The file has been properly added to the map archive:

MaidenofVigilance.mdx
Model
729
war3mapimported/MaidenofVigilance.mdx

Done, you have imported the file MaidenofVigilance.mdx.

Importing MaidenofVigilance_Body.blp

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

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

Maiden of Vigilance (WoW)
MaidenofVigilance.mdx
MaidenofVigilance_Body.blp
MaidenofVigilance_Fel.blp
MaidenofVigilance_Mace.blp
MaidenofVigilance_Wind.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.
