Import warcraft 3 models

[Sevo]

Hi all,

I started 2 days ago again with Warcraft 3 and I was like, ‘can I add custom units into the game”. So I went into google and I found this page.

So I did my own research before bothering other people. For some reason it did work onces but after that I kept failing.

My workstyle for importing was.
1. Download the model
2. Add into import manager
3. Remove war3mapImported
4. Go to editor change model name to custume. But the custome button isn’t clickable.

And if it works it shows Only the shadow of the unit.

What am I doing wrong?

Can somebody please give a guideline?

Thanks for reading and support

You need to change the path of the textures as well.

You need to change the path of the textures as well.

So in the import manager I remove war3mapImported and type in texture infront so like texture\.......blp

Go to the manager were all the unit info is and change the model file from what it is to custome?

If I’m incorrect could u be so kind to be much for detailed or if you are able to help me out maybe via skype or something.

Hope to hear from u and thanks for taking the time to read

Does the model you're trying to import uses custom textures? If yes, then you need to remove the war3mapImported\ part from the (.blp) textures. The model path (.mdx) doesn't necessary need to be changed. You can leave it as it is only the textures matters.

Here's a good tutorial that explains how to import custom models : Importing Models, Skins and Icons.
