Well there are MPQ editors in the tool section.

Left upper side of the page -> tool section -> ctrl + f -> enter "MPQ" -> take one of the editors.

Yes, I have got one.

But what is the next step, for example i tried to change one of the model but it isn't work, it isn't show the model.

Have you tested the model?

Does it show the old model still instead of the new one, or nothing at all?

I don't know the answer to your question but you might be able to get a better/faster response if you post it here: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/modeling-animation-276/

u dont use mpq to change model, u use object editor

Man, pls don't speak sily. I know how to import models in the world editor, but i don't want to do it, becouse, if you import to the WE that's only replace that model in the map/champaing. But i want to make a total conversation mod looks like fall of draenor, hearth of stroms, dawn of chaos. And for this you have to change the mpq. Total convertion mod replace the whole game. not only one map/champaing.

Well you're going to get all kinds of inconsistency, but you'd have to replace old model files with the new one and update the unit data so that they use the correct animation names if necessary, generally updating the Art fields of every single unit.
