what do you mean by automatically deleted?

Hmm, when you edit the model, make sure you set the path for its skin (don't ask me how to do it, i can't model). Then, when you import the skin, set its path to the same path that you set for the model before.

(don't ask me how to do it, i can't model).

^^ that's i want know... the importer script for 3dsmax doesn't import skins... i go ask to the model forum

I'd have the same question. What do you mean about automatically deleted? If you mean that the material is gone...

Have you made an MDL checking? See if the paths for the skin exist, and if they do, then you should be able to use them.

Mdl checking no ... i mean by automatically delete : when i import model (mdx) into 3dsmax with the importer script the script bug and the model comes without skin... if i select "don't import skin" no bug but my model don't have skin...

You mean it just shows the polygons without skin? Of course it is. Model file doesn't contain skin file packed on it. It just contains a path which is pointing to the skin that used by that model. So when use it on your map, you must import both .mdx file and the skin file (.blp).
