I downloaded a Scarlet Crusade Footman's model, managed by the Import Manager and I changed the common Footman's model for this one that I downloaded. But always a green and black cube appears. I do not know how to fix or how to make it work. Can anyone help me?

I guess the Scarlet Footman model has its own .blp texture. You need to set correct path for the texture - the texture path should be written where you downloaded that model.

Usually, these models also include .txt file where the path is written as well.

Theres a bug with the editor that causes imports to not be shown until you save.
Save and restart your editor.

If the problem persists, then you've imported it wrongly.
Check to original model page if there are any extra textures you need to import.

When correctly imported, there is no need to restart the editor.

Import, save, use the imported stuff. It will show up in the editor when correctly imported.

If you first import, save, use the stuff, notice you used a wrong texture path then you need to change the path, save and restart to see the change.
