Yoshi you said it's pointless to well i dont think it is, if someone requests help and you can give it to them, you may as well, maybe one day you might need help and he could give you some so... here we go...
Heres what u need to do, this will be brief and you may have already done a lot of this but ill post it all cause i don't have in depth details of your problems
1:Go to the file where you downloaded the zip file too and unzip it to the same location (NOTE. if it doesn't automatically put it into a separate folder make sure you do so otherwise it will just waste time finding the blp. and mdx. files in the mess of folders)
2:Go into the Import Manager, select file on the toolbar go down to Import File and select it or if you use hot keys Ctrl+I (NOTE. make sure you select Import FILE and not FILES
3:Go and find where you have saved the downloaded files too while searching with Import File once you have found it enter the folder then import all the files except the notepad doc. if there is one
4:Once you have put all the files in, remove the war3mapImported\ part and if its a BTN put ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\, if its the MDX. file (NOTE. MDX. is the main model file) just remove the war3mapimported\ part and leave it as it is without it, if its a blp. check the download page and look at the files at the bottom if they have something other than just the name put that path in front of the eg. factory.blp and it says at the download page something like textures/factory.blp then put that down otherwise it wont work... if that doesnt work you have done something wrong...
Thats what i can give you otherwise refer to the tutorials
