Importing problem. PLZ HELP

[Bloodezach]

Ok i have bin downloading models off the website and doing the importing tutorial i have followed the steps and done everything correctly but when i place the unit on the ground its the cube that is checkered... which it should be but when i test the map its just a shadow on the ground and i cant even target the unit. PLZ help this is really annoying

you should remove the war3imported\ first.
Then close world editor (save first). Then open you map and it should look fine

Thanks man ya i figured this one out on my own a few days ago. just wasnt sure how to make my post solved. I have another question now though i may find out what im doing wrong but some models i place down are the checkered box but i know that you just save, close, and reopen the editor and the models should be there in there true form but it when i reopen its just the same and i have numerously checked my import manage if i missed deleting or adding something for the models and it just wont work out. about 5 of them are doin this.

can you show me which models you are trying to import and use or give me the name of them?

I had this when I first was importing too, in truth, when you import, from this Forum, watch what paths must be customized, .mdx dont need to be customized, but textures, .blp and that stuff must be used in custom path...

Like, I created model, with mdx and some textures, and blp, and guy who created the model, always says what paths they must be placed, when you import usally .blp files are changed to example Units\Sword.blp, or just Sword.blp example, Textures\BloodelfPikeman.blp, you have to modify paths what Creator of that model have placed...

When you you import, importing will set default path warcraft3imported\Sword.blp example, just double-click on imported file in import manager and Enable "Use Custom Path" and place the path what creator of that model gived to ppl...

This is example:

Import the skins to the following paths:
Textures\Kargath.blp

Defaultly it would be warcraft3imported\Kargath.blp

But you have to change it to path what author of model said, what is example said in that example...

And of course, when you imported, you have to change its compoment paths if specific paths are given (basic easy models who got only nearly .mdx arent needed to specific path), and then restart world editor and thats it...

Ty that helped out alot. I have read that some of the paths you dont need to use custom but for others you have to. Ty man
