If it's a model you created, then I'd recommend uploading it to here to see what textures you need, it may be different than what you expect, or the paths might be.
If it is not yours, or once you have uploaded it, scroll down to see what textures are a lightish yellow. Those are the textures you DO need.

Sometimes i get problems uploading models where all the file paths are exact. Usually i just go into import manager, change the model file path extension to .mdl (instead of mdx) and then change it back again, then restart the editor, and for some reason, it seems to jumpstart the model to load o_O
