Introduction

This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model nightelf_tent04 of the bundle nightelf_tent04.

Extract and Access

I am assuming that you have already downloaded the file Night Elfs 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:

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 nightelf_tent04.mdx

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

Next select 'nightelf_tent04.mdx' in the folder which you extracted from the zip archive:

The file has been properly added to the map archive:

Done, you have imported the file nightelf_tent04.mdx.

Importing amirdrassil_council_poisonousjavelin_precast.blp

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

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

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.

Double-click the file amirdrassil_council_poisonousjavelin_precast.blp:

Tick the box "Use Custom Path" and type in the correct path:
