Can't apply my model ingame.

[RobyGon]

Hi,

I was trying to re-texture the Evil Illidan model but, when i try to import it and get it in game, i just get the normal illidan skin. I should have imported all the textures i need (hopefully) to the correct paths but it doesn't seem to work. War3Model editor and War3Viewer show the model with the correct texture,i don't understand whats happening. Can someone try on their map?

Edit: now i just get the team glow. oh my god. http://imgur.com/5AXVCjp

Haha. Team glow looks good. OK. First convert the mdx to mdl. Then open with notepad. Change the texture paths to something unique like IllidanEvilNew.blp. The save your mdl and convert back to mdx with model editor. Now import all to the right paths. This question is really supposed to be in the modeling forum.

I tried what you said but i still get the same results. I changed the texture name to MetaIllidan.blp in the mdl file but it's still not working. Same team glow.

That's just the model. You need both the mdx and the blp. Maybe something else happened to the model. You should try starting from scratch. Am I right in assuming that this is a simple edit?

Maybe a moderator can move this to a modeling thread.

Here, I fixed them for you. The problem was in the texture image, something wrong happened when you saved in BLP. Next time if the texture shows up well in viewers but doesn't show up in the game, try converting BLP -> TGA -> back to BLP (BLP1) again. Use the BLPLab Tool, it always converts properly.

Oh my god it works now. I guess you were both right. Something happened to the texture because yesterday, i tried to convert it in jpg and then get it back in blp and the texture worked in game, although without alpha channels it looked like ass.

Thank you both for helping me.
