Importing downloaded models.

[RPG]

I find this rather complicated. I downloaded a model, followed everything it says on the tutorial(pathing and stuff) but I still can't figure out what had gone wrong, it says that the model this can't be found.. Please, help me

Save your remap. Restart your WE and it should be there.
Alternatively, press the test button and you should see it ingame.

(Btw, if you want custom models to show up in WE after import, you should always save and restart WE...)

Yes, -Alpha- is correct unless in some cases (Which are very very rare) that dont tell you the path its only happened to me once. So if u dont like seeing the Green Cude Like -Alpha- said just restart it.

Hey guys, I have a Model and a Texture File to accompany it sitting in a folder on my hard drive but I have NO idea what the paths are I tried importing it with a model file but to no avail. Is there any way to make it work? Cheers

You can open the model with Magos' model editor. Once you load the model in that program, click Windows -> texture manager. It will show the path of the texture file.

Import the model without the "wc3import/" path.
Then test once with the texture path "Textures\"
and once with the texture path none. just remove the "wc3import\" again.

Don't hijack the thread - make your own.

For your problem...

Open the .mdx in notepad and locate the texture .blp file. Copy how the path is written.

His Question was answered so I don't think he minds xD

It didn't work, I have two files

Bivouac.mdx
Bivouac.blp

the mdx doesn't really list anything except "buildings\Naga\ReptilianSanctuary\Bivouac.blp"

I tried that with the mdx's path just "Bivouac.mdx" and it did Nothing

Don't mess with the .mdx Just change the .blp file's path in the import manager to "buildings\Naga\ReptilianSanctuary\Bivouac.blp"

Only thing you have to do with the .mdx file is to remove the war3import/. The .blp files path should be found where you downloaded the model/skin. Just type in that path.
caution: Make sure there aint any empty spaces (spacebar press) after, or before the model. That would fuck it up.

I mentioned above that I have no idea what the paths are it's an old model I had sitting in my models folder I downloaded aeons ago.

And I tried that Alpha but it doesn't work

Well if you doesent have the imports then its kinda your own fault its not working. But well, you can download some programs which can see the paths, i saw one was mentioned above, think it was magos or something. Try looking around here.

 

[roadkill94]

I'll try the magos model editor, I can't seem to find a download coudl someone link me please?
