Maybe you need to check waht textures it needs, maybe it is not mdx but mdl, maybe texture files are not blp but tga, or maybe model is not working because of some problem, try reimporting or redownloading! Otherwise try opening in the model viewer and check out the textures there or if the model shows there! Hope this helps!

Maybe your editor has a problem. Try working in NewJassGen? or WEU! Otherwise you may need to reinstall Warcraft! (or just the editor if it is possible)!

err..no i doubt its his editor.....do not reinstall wc3..

just remove the models from your map COMPLETELY and redo it again with proper path, this is a bug I come across sometimes, thats the only way of dealing with it is to keep reimporting and making sure the path is correct.
If a model is imported and custom textures are missing, that can cause this issue but normally the model would be invisible in both WE and ingame if that was the case.

OK i removed all the models that are invisible and reimported and i double clicked one of my imported files and it took me into the Imported files properties.So i check the box saying custom path and then highlight and delete/backspace remove the
war3mapImported\ and then press ok for each one???

 

[Hawk07]

Yes but the texture file paths may need some other path (depends they may need a Textures\ before the name of the file)!

have u restarted the editor after importing? I couldn't find the models, so i couldn't check there paths for you, but usually the paths are in the descriptiom.

what? is this for the mdx or the texture?
DO NOT tamper with the mdx path can cuase buggy issues and you need the proper path for the textures (blp.), you dont just guess them or presume.

If you open in the model viewer the model has some texture paths. It is under the tools menu I think and it says textures, texture files or something alike. There are displayed the correct paths for the texture files.

Can't you just open the model in notepad and look inside for the texture paths?
