Having trouble with models

[God of Marmots]

Hi. I am new to the workshop and have to ask you guys for help. Every time I try to add a model into the editor it doesn't seem to work. One of those models is this one; https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models.php?id=gutz7n&p=tutorial_import
I followed the tutorial step by step but it doesn't seem to work. I changed the path for the model to: UrukHaiSwordsman.mdx Like the tutorial said. It just appears as a green cube when I place it and it displays the message: Could not load file: UrukHaiSwordsman.mdl
I might just be doing something wrong but since I am new here some guidence would be much appreciated. Thanks for taking your time to read this.

EDIT: I also tried saving the map, closing it and opening it again. Didn't work :c

Try: Save map after importing -> Close editor -> Open editor -> Open map.

Edit: Questions like this should be in WEHZ.

And welcome to Hive.

Oh alright I'll go over there then. :S

And I tried that too. Forgot to say that I saved, closed and opened the map again. Well, it seems that I am stuck with the default models for now...

Thanks for your reply though. Have a nice day :3

Check the other thread, I think I found the problem.
(You don't change the path of the model, you change the path of the textures)

I've just tested it, and it works for me, you probably didn't set the textures to the right paths, instead of:

• war3mapImported\UrukHai.blp
• war3mapImported\UrukWeapons.blp

use:

• UrukHai.blp
• UrukWeapons.blp

And also, again, reopen the map.

Ah alright, thanks guys, I'll try that.

Ermahgerd, guys! It worked! Thanks. Now I can live my LotR dream in Warcraft 3! <3
