when you imported the model you have to save the map,quit the editor and restart it or close the map and open the map again,then it should show the model

 

[Blbeccz]

still dont works

 

[Illidan Kazama]

ah i think i know why, you need the textures, without textures you can only see the shadow.Import the model and the textures into the map,save it,close the editor and open the map again.

you nbeed to save the texture as a 32bit .tga before converting to .blp!

NOOOOOOO HEEEELP NOTHING HAPPEND

 

[chilla_killa]

Did you import the texture?
The path should be Test.blp
Is the texture 128*128 or 256*256 or 512*512 or 1024*1024?

Does this model display as a geen block in WE?

Post the textures too. this might be my last wc3 related request.

hm have the same problem with a model lately, it shows up in the model viewer but not in the editor

I'm having the same problem too. I can see the model fine in Magos but not in the editor, only a circular shadow. Here is my model:

well let me join this group of people who hate that damn shadow!
Confusing part is that this is not my first model. I made few models before this one and
I would always import ONLY mdx file and the model would work with no problems.
But this one... It is a simple model, I didn't even edit the exisitng textures, I tried everything: importing every potential texture, more models, different paths... and still nothing. Works awesome in magos.

 

[ikillforeyou]

It's the texture, i removed "test.blp" and it worked fine, did you import test.blp?

 

[Deolrin]

He probably didn't change the texture path.

 

[tanasko]

I always change the path...
Is the full path the one where you found the model in mpq?
e.g. Bandit Mage: Units\Creeps\BanditMage\BanditMage.blp
Is it supposed to look like this?

 

[tanasko]

I always change the path to Units\Creeps\...\... .blp

 

[Deolrin]

The path is supposed to be "test.blp".

 

[tanasko]

uuuuggghhh... still nothing.... I really appreciate the help guys, but this is so new to me... so many ideas wasted if I don't figure this out. I'll keep trying. Everything.

 

[tanasko]

I think I have a solution to this problem, and it has nothing to do with textures... it does in a way, but problem aren't the imported textures. Problem are the textures in your model, the ones that your model uses (or doesn't). Open your textures manager and erase Replacable ID 0 if it is still there. That was my problem!
Thanks to General Frank

I don't use any custom texture,only in-game but I have the same problem too.

 

[Nenjamonky 117]

Where is this "Texture Editor" you speak of? I'm havin' the same problem with models I imported from a different map! It's gotten to the point where im 'bout insane!!

 

[Adiktuz]

I always change the path to Units\Creeps\...\... .blp

texture paths depend on each model... normally custom textures are set to the path FileName.blp and for in-game textures, you can use Magos or any mpq browser to look for them...

and if you edited any texture be sure you know the right way to edit textures, coz you cant just go on exporting them doing simple recolor... (at least based on my experience... ^^)

@the guy above: texture editor is on Magos not on the WE...
