Hey all, I am relatively new to mapping. I followed the tutorial for importing a model by the letter, but for some reason it won't load said model. Instead I get a green box in the editor, and in game I get an unselectable shadow. Is this a common issue?
EDIT: the model I'm attempting to import is in the attatchment.

Do you want the Path?
Well, ask about the path to where you have find the model.

Its always the same nooby question and always the same easy answer, but always an easy way to get rep

1. Set right pathes

Nearly always, in the folder you downloaded there is a Readme file.
Open it and find out the right path. Copy it.
Now open the Import Manager in the World Editor.
After importing the model, double click on the imported file.
(or press right click on the file and choose "Modify Model Properties"
Now click into the gap to use a customn path.
Fill in the path out off the readme file and press okay.
Often you only have to remove the "war3mapImported\".

Now it should work, but if you use it the first time, a green box will appear in the World Editor. To fix this, do

2. Re-Open World Editor

After you set the right pathes, you have to close (and save) the WorldEditor and then open it again. Now the model will be shown properly in the WorldEditor.

Seeing only a shadow ingame means that the paths for the model's textures are incorrect. A simply way to find the correct paths is to open the .mdx in notepad and locate the skins and how they must be typed.

For this model the correct paths for the textures are:
Textures\Gskin.blp
Textures\GShoulder.blp
Textures\GSbody.blp
Textures\Gmain.blp

Good luck!
