gutz.blp => textures\gutz.blp? wc3s import help needed

[Ralle]

Hello guys! I am working on an import script for wc3sear.ch models. I have however come to some models missing their skins, but these skins exist. We are talking about gutz.blp. One model EasterBunny.mdx requires the skin gutz.blp but it doesn't exist in the root of wc3 but in textures\gutz.blp.. So I was wondering:
If a model requires a skin with no path, will it go look for it in textures\ ?

Could some of the textures be baked in with 3ds max?

textures does not lie inside mdxes..

I am not too familiar with Mdxs, and mdls, sorry I cannot provide a more definitive answer :/ I primarily worked with Net Immerse Objects before getting into warcraft.

A wild and unlikely hypothesis. They lie within the .exe?

They might be in the patch archive which can only be opened with certain MPQ openers (one was MPQ Master). I can't tell you exactly about this texture, but if one texture does not exist (cannot be located), the model won't display. That's a fact (try it with ANY custom model and convince yourself).

I am making a list of ALL textures there is just that gutz.blp.. And u say it is in patch.. I will look..

It's not in the patch mpq. But it seems identical to the old gutz.blp, so the best thing to do would be change the texture path (with this tool).

I just want the tool to correct register if a model is inside mpqs or required.

The models texture path must be changed to textures\gutz.blp. Then the texture is no longer required to be downloaded or imported, because it is inside the game already.
