Import-Problem: Model does not show up.

[Invoker]

Uhmmm guys, I'm a newbie so... please help me! How can I make a downloaded modelfile(Tree) into a doodad. When I make it into a doodad, it only appears as a cube with black spots. I even restarted my WE! Plz help!

Obviously that Tree has a custom texture file which requires you to change its path file once it is imported. The path name is most likely to be located from the page you downloaded the tree.

For example, if you have "war3mapImported\Tree.blp" your going to edit it and write this instead "textures\Tree.blp" or just "Tree.blp". One of those will surely work.

This one doesn't have one. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/palm-202880/ It's a palm tree by eubz (credits to him). Could you please help me?

two cases.
#1 do you have frozen throne or regular wc3 ? the palm tree texture is found only in the frozen throne expansion.
#2 you are attempting to replace a destructable tree not a doodad, the model in question does not seem to be working as destructable tree (possibly lacks birth/tree eat animations ?)

One more case, did you restart the editor after you imported the model? Cause it won't work if you didn't.

1)Make sure you're using wc3-TFT and better to be updated to the latest version
2)Save the editor first before trying to use imported models (restart is not really needed)
3)Make sure you set variations to 1
4)This does not belong on this Forum...

Yep. I've tried everything. Still... the cat still hides itself. :-( . Okay... maybe I just have to give this up. I'll try to learn more knowledge. Thanks guys!

Moved to World Editor Help Zone for you to get some more ideas and help on your problem.


(WEHZ is the better place to ask for general WE questions, while the Terrain Board is more fitting for questions regarding terraining, level design and everything around those two.)

Thanks Really appreciate it.

I improted the model and saved the map. I copied the first doodad in the list (Altar) and pasted it. Renamed and changed model path. It worked.

If it doesn't work, check the imported file size. If it is 0, delete the file from the imports and reimport.

Maker, you're a saver. Thank you very much guys. Yeah... I knew the problem. I don't make it as a doodad, I make it as a destructible.... so, that's pretty much the problem. Again, thank you all.

@Invoker, Talavaj already told you that,

you are attempting to replace a destructable tree not a doodad, the model in question does not seem to be working as destructable tree

Never mind, glad you fixed it.

The model works as a destructable. You can copy and paste the first tree on the destructable list (Ashenvale tree wall), change model path and set variations to 1.
