How to import WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02

Introduction

This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02 of the bundle WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02. 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 Doodads Corpses 2 (Starcraft 2).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:

WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02
WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02.mdx
marine_corpse_diffuse.blp
cargotruck_diffuse_unit.blp
cargotruck_emissive.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 WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02.mdx

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

Next select 'WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02.mdx' in the folder which you extracted from the zip archive:

WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02
WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02.mdx
cargotruck_diffuse_unit.blp
cargotruck_emissive.blp
marine_corpse_diffuse.blp

The file has been properly added to the map archive:

WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02.mdx
Model
141
war3mapimported/WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02.mdx

Done, you have imported the file WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02.mdx.

Importing cargotruck_diffuse_unit.blp

Now Click the "Import File" Button:

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

WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02
WreckedCargoTruckCorpse_Unit_02.mdx
cargotruck_diffuse_unit.blp
cargotruck_emissive.blp
marine_corpse_diffuse.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.

If you did exactly as this guide told you and it did not work properly. Please make a thread in the Modeling & Animation Forum containing the following:

  • Link to the model and the tutorial
  • Precise description of what does not work
  • The map you tried to import it to (with the model imported)
And we will do what we can to help you.
