Hi,
Just for context I have not touched the wc3 editor for over 4 years if not more and only recently started experimenting with it again.
I wanted to get back into map making since the game is pretty stable so to say.
Got some small idea of what I want to make but to make it more fun I want to add some imported models but I'm having issues.
I started experimenting with the importing feature of the editor (I use the old default editor not sure if that is the issue?) but some models do not work at all (checkered green+black box). I read up and I remember having to change some of the paths for some textures and such and that is likely the problem.
The models I got are either from my old collection from which I have forgotten the paths or I have found some packs online (sadly not from hiveworkshop) with lots of files.
An example: I found a pack with models.
In it are lots of models and most are ordered by their number but some will not work when imported (although on their screenshots they seem to be working).
I'm guessing it is because for some of the files I have to change the path? If so, how can I find this correct path because much like my old collection there is no readme files or other files where the paths are written?
Any help is appreciated and I do know some are against using custom models/skins for maps but for me half the fun of making a map is adding the custom models.
EDIT: very stupid mistake but in my editor I have to change any .MDX to .mdx which solves everything.
