Yes, Beta models need special treatment...

Convert them to .mdl using Mdlx Converter. Then open them in Notepad and change the texture paths to...

Ahem, well, if them texture is Blah.blp, the path in the beta model should be "model\Bhah.blp."

Change it to just "Blah.blp"

Do this for every texture in every model, then convert them back in .mdx (should work in both Magos and Mdlx Converter). Then when importing, remove "War3MapImported\" from all the texture paths.

No need to convert them to .mdl.
Just open the models in magos or Prophet's model Viewer and check theit paths there.

Wow, the Viewer can change paths? I didn't know...

No but you can look them up in there.

That's okay, but in order to edit the model in magos and/or import it properly into WE, we need to change the texture paths, right? Magos will never open a model with texture having a path "model\Texture.blp".

unless you have that texture in the same folder as your model. Otherwise, you have to change the paths using Notepad.
