Importing your own models?

Importing your own crafted models?

How do I know how to import them?
I mean; when should I import them as:

wc3mapImported/NAME.mdx

when

NAME.mdx

and their textures too; when

NAME.mdx

and when

Textures/NAME.mdx??

The mdx can be whatever you want. You will assign them to the units.
The .blp textures have to be the way the creator of the model assigned them.
Normale the paths are given. If not, ask him or search in the .mdl file for the paths.

Actually I did the model, and I don't know what path to assign

every model has a texture path, in order to see it, you can use the mago's model editor. just open the model, search for the textures tab and see the path in there. the models however, can take any path u want as long as u place them properly in the object editor

It says it uses no texture paths... but I thought that If I added

Textures 1 {
Bitmap {
Image "Textures/Cruz.blp",
}
}

It would require and use that texture.

Image "Textures/Cruz.blp",

This means that the texture is in the folder named "Textures".
If the model and the texture is in one folder, you do not need to use "Textures\<texture name>.blp"
Just Remove "Textures\", you just need the name of the texture, say "ABC.blp"
See:

Image "Cruz.blp",

And when importing them in the world editor, you will have to delete the words "wc3mapImported/" so that the texture can bind to the model.
