importing models

[greda23]

hello everyone i'm completely inexperienced with editor but i want to learn to use it. so i recently tried to import models in a map i started making and after i followed all steps, editor was unable to load model. here is what i exactly done,to make you easier to find out what i did wrong:
1 i downloaded and extracted "sipahi" model
2 i imported both, model and skin to my map and i set skin's path arabian marauder.blp

Paths
Import the skins to the following paths:
Arabian Marauder.blp

3 when i tried to place a unit it becomes black and green square with text below: "could not load file: war3mapimported..."
help i have no clue what i could have done wrong

You need to save your map first.

3 when i tried to place a unit it becomes black and green square with text below: "could not load file: war3mapimported..."

same happens when i save map and load it again

I read number 3. You didn't mention you saved your map.

And it works for me. Check out this test map:

hey i succeeded somehow with this, now sipahi model works excellent.
but then i tried with another model and guess what it doesn't work first problem is that i don't have art-model file- portrait sector. so i cannot change unit's portrait (not sure if it automatically changes with model, but i also got portrait file when i downloaded model)
and the second problem is like before. black-green square with text "could not load file: war3mapimported..."

Paths
# Import the skins to the following paths: None

paths are 'none' so i didn't change file path and there are no skins with model

so where can i be wrong i am becoming nervous !

hm i am probably doing something wrong but i don't know what. can you explain detailed what you did please?

1) Imported both the unit and the portrait.

2) Removed the ''war3mapImported'' from both import paths.

3) Saved the map.

4) Applied the model to the Peasant.

thanks i guess i was wrong with saving, i saved and loaded on the end not before applying. but still 3/4 models worked which i tested for now.

I always added the model, placed it in the editor, then saved, closed WE re-opened it, and it usually worked for me.

The ''war3mapImported'' always making problem
Try that a few times
