Help with Model Please

[TheVexTender]

I'm trying to use the Crystal Infernal Model, and I change the custom path to ya know..Says like war3imported etc, but then I change it erase that so it says Crystal_Infernal.mdx or w/e, and it still doesnt show can anyone help with this? Like, then I go to set the model and he doesnt show him, and he gets a box around him.

you must save close and reopen the WE after import and repath

mdx's dont need path changes =_=

 

[YoshiRyu]

isn't he talking about the skin of this model?
EDIT: okay, there is no skin with this model ^^'

 

[Kimbo]

"Crystal_Infernal.mdx"


that model doesnt even come with custom textures..

 

[TheVexTender]

Ok so, importing the model or skin w/e of the crystal infernal, can someone please tell me what to do? Theres a few posts saying different things

 

[Wolverabid]

As Werewulf said, models themselves need no custom paths. For that model just use:

war3mapImported\Crystal_Infernal.mdx
war3mapImported\Crystal_Infernal_portrait.mdx

The model requires no custom texture paths either, all of its skins are included in war3x.mpq and so need not be imported or pathed.

 

[TheVexTender]

Ok so:
I import them both, and dont even check off custom path?
And then use it on a model?

 

[HappyTauren]

YES

 

[TheVexTender]

By the way, I'm surprised that noone else seems to have found this out, but if you save the map before you view what you imported (in the Object Editor, etc) you can see it afterwards. (aka you don't need to restart the WE, just save right after you import stuff). However, if you put in an incorrect path, you need to restart the editor after fixing it (if you found out the path was incorrect by viewing the model in the Object Editor)

Ok:
I NEED HELP RIGHT NOW.
I import the two files, Crystal_Infernal.mdx and the other one, and I go to do it like wolf said and dont change path etc and it says cannot load, blah blah and it just gets this grey box can sum1 be nice enough to post EXACTLY what I have to do step by step?..

 

[YoshiRyu]

restart the world editor after importing and saving

So ye thinx u smart xD I knew about this long ago (sam told me)

Anyway, once model is loaded you cannot re-import (if youj have fixed something) with the same path, because model is already in cache.

TheVexTender: You are doing something wrong, but we don't know what.

What unit are you basing it off?

 

[TheVexTender]

Crystal_Infernal

He does NOT show up in game, but shows in editor.

 

[Redeemer59]

That's nice.

This'd really be a better thing to post in the comments log for the model itself.

 

[Wolverabid]

The model requires no custom texture paths either, all of its skins are included in war3x.mpq and so need not be imported or pathed.

If you have properly imported the model, the only reasons that it wouldn't display are:

1. The model has not been correctly assigned to a unit using the Object Editor.
   
   
2. You are using Warcraft III Reign of Chaos.
   
   
3. Your map's .mpq file and/or your war3x.mpq file itself have been damaged.
