I imported custom models from another map, but most of the models are just green/black boxes. Editor says that cant find mdl-file.

How to fix that?

Have you already tried exiting (save your map first, with the imports) and re-running World Editor?

I saved my map and exited editor.

Also many of the doodads in map disappeared and some new doodads randomly appeared in map, I cant even find many of the default models in editor anymore.

Does this also happen on other maps or your map only? If it happens on other maps then your MPQ archive must have been corrupted. You could try re-installing warcraft or wait a bit more for some other answers.

Models disappeared after importing new custom models

Object import editor said that new file will replace the old file.

Oh, I see. Try using a custom path, I usually try removing the wc3... folder path when a model fails loading.

Try looking at the paths the model use on the map, maybe it requires a custom path. Check the texture paths too, just to be sure though. Other than checking those, I have no clue either, sorry.
