Your english is .....
Nevermind,ok,you got import the model right?
but you got import the model of the skin?(it is .Blp)

If you import a model, it will show like this in import manager:
war3mapImported\Model.mdx

You have to remove the "war3mapImported\" part from it, so it will be:
Model.mdx

And everytime you import a model, you have to restart your World Editor.

Nope. You don't need to change the path to .mdx file at all,you only need to change the texture paths that can be found in readme file of a model (if the model has custom textures).

You need to import the model and all its nescescary skins (some use ingame skins which are not nescescary as they already exist). The skins then need the right paths (the ones you imported). You must then save, close down WE completly and reopen the map and WE. The models should appear, if not then try ingame to see if they appear (as that is all that maters). If they still do not appear then the model may be curropt or never did work, in that case you must delete it and find another model (remember to report as well so it can be rejected or fixed).

Does the "war3mapImported\" removal plays part in "importing models" in warcraft editor, DSG ?

Which is what DSG said.

 

[defskull]

But why, sometimes, yes, sometimes
It makes a big different if I remove or keep that texts
When I keep it, model doesn't appear
When I remove it... wala !
Why ?

 

[Garfield1337]

Models seem to work for me the way i said. I guess we should wait for DSG's answer on this,though.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The path of the model does not mater (or should not). The path is purly a link (string) to reference the model and has nothing to do with weather a model is usable or not. Ofcourse, if you have an invalid path (characters interfear with the format the entities use to hold them) it will not work but for most purposes, any path will do.

What is important however is the skins the model uses must be at the correct path. This is because the references to the skins are hard coded into the model file and so can not be changed to whatever is most convenient.

Hello Hiveworkshop Admins moderators and users. I join today, because i want to became a mapper. Now i had the same problem with importing models. I have read the tutorial how to extract models, but while i follow rules my model is still invisible. For example I'm trying to import Arthas here you can see the link for this model:

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/arthas-155676/?prev=search=Arthas&d=list&r=20

I have WinRAR and WinZip but while i extract the model it doesn't work its invisible. Will you help me how to import that model, and sorry if i post to the wrong place

1. You must know the required skin paths.
2. You must know how to work the import manager

look for the skin you imported. Then, rename it, to the path as imposed by the uploader. Rename the SKINS only. Models, icons don't apply.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Also make sure your running WC3 on maximum ingame settings.

 

[Crayons]

oh yeah that too.

 

[Varric Hawk]

Yeah that model seems moody. I often find it wont work on a map I'm doing, so I try the helmet variation which works or vice versa T_T'
