new problem

i got the starcraft model pack from the map development area, request a resource, sticky: starcraft consortium under Models in fenriks post in the general bit its the starcraft pack from moddb not konstructs one, all the models have alot more blp. files than some of killst4r's and max666's and ive used the same pathing as the other files that i have just dlete the original path that has war3mapImported in it and just leave the file name, but it doesnt work they dont appear even though ive changed all the file paths and double checked them what am i doing wrong now? Heres the link to moddb just to be quicker http://files.moddb.com/5039/download-starcraft3dconversionunitspack-/

The paths should be provided in the download page.
Anyway, make sure you read our Tutorials when stepping on similar problems; they are sure to be helpful.

Thanks for starcraft model pack buddy
Wow they are great

 

[PurplePoot]

Ugh, I always found those ugly -.- (they don't represent the original, anyways)

 

[Turok-Titan]

Need_02 if theyre good models, what paths do i put in for them to work ive just done what i normally do and removed the war3imported\ bit and just left the file name is there any other things i need to add to some paths? i couldnt find the file path on the download page since it was a pack and there was nothing in particular

 

[Turok-Titan]

also why are some of the file sizes on a few blp. 's coming up as zero? its annoying me coz ive got the right file path but the command center http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/243/ and the supply depot http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/275/ arent appearing, they are red glow1 and terranbuild i tried deleting the zero and re-importing but once i delete the 0 size one the new ones size turns to 0

 

[Need_O2]

well you use the paths like in folders
Example if you are gonna import the files in Units\Protoss\Protoss Scout
Use the Units\Protoss\Protoss Scout path
About that 0 size some files are too small like 0.2 kb etc WE shows them as 0 kb so dont let it bother you

 

[YoshiRyu]

use MDX pather to open the model, it will show you the blp path.

 

[Turok-Titan]

oh sweet i wasnt giving proper path then, and i figured out the 0 size thing, i dont know what caused it but i used replace file and it re-entered the size, now working so its cool.... so for the medic i put Units\Terran\Terran Medic\Terran Medic.MDX

 

[Kimbo]

mdx's dont need paths =_=

 

[Need_O2]

hmm sometimes they need actually like if text path is same as mdx path
This is what I know about it actually not sure %100 but quite %80 sure about it

 

[YoshiRyu]

-_-
you've a too high opinion of yourself...

model don't need specific path
but you could use the same path as an existing model to replace it automaticly
that's all

 

[Need_O2]

ah sorry I just meaned if you put medic.mdx without path and textures with path that would be wrong
like filepath medic:medic.mdx
filepath texture:units\terran\medic.blp

 

[YoshiRyu]

yep, you've to correct the texture (.blp) 's path
not because of the game
but because of the model

in the imported model, there is somewhere a link to its texture
if the texture path doesn't match to this link, the model can't find the texture (it's so stupid a model ^^)

 

[Turok-Titan]

i cant find anyway to import that one model..... i got all what i need from that file... but the medic just doesnt work.....

 

[YoshiRyu]

can you post a screen of the import windows?

 

[Turok-Titan]

I know i have to change the blp. paths but to what EXACTLY??? sorry man my new internets being gay it wont upload thats why i triple posted earlier i even got faster internet than my last and it wont upload a 22kb file im f@#$ing angry...

 

[YoshiRyu]

right clic on the path, choose "Modif file's properties"
tick "use custom path" and set the path to "units\terran\medic.blp" (i guess, i don't have the model)
