Models are usually made up of multiple files. Each of those files has to have the correct path in order to work. More times then not, the model its self (the .mdx file) does not have a path, so you can usually leave it as "war3mapimported/----.mdx" But skins and particles must have the right paths. Be sure to make not of all the paths then you doenload a model, they are all right there to be seen.

Unless the model is a very anal-retentive one, like Killst4r's defiler, which HAS to be renamed defilerfinal.mdx, or some of RIghtfield's models, which HAVE to be put under their racial and classification subclasses like units/chaos/dsparil/Shadowcaster.mdx or something like that
