How to import Night Elf Blademaster (AoW)

Introduction

This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model Night Elf Blademaster (AoW) of the bundle Night Elf Blademaster (AoW).

Extract and Access

I am assuming that you have already downloaded the file Night Elf BlademasterWardenguard Swordmaster (AoW).zip and know where it is located on your hard drive.

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:
