How to import Wall portrait

Introduction

This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model Wall portrait of the bundle Wall portrait. 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 Raven Mountain Model Pack.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 Portrait 01.mdx

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

Next select 'Portrait 01.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 Portrait 01.mdx.

Importing kingmirror01.blp

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

Next select 'kingmirror01.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 kingmirror01.blp:

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

The file has been properly added to the map archive:

Done, you have imported the file kingmirror01.blp.

Importing RavenCastle.blp

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

Next select 'RavenCastle.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 RavenCastle.blp:

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

The file has been properly added to the map archive:

Done, you have imported the file RavenCastle.blp.

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.
