[Ralle]

That is cool!

 

[MasterDragons]

what does this program do??

I am to beleive that this handy dandy tool will make pathing for your models.

 

[JoHnyW]

how shall path look like?

Must it be like

Textures\Hero

or example#2

C:\My_models\HeroModel\Textures\Hero

?

I tried both ways and it is not working

 

[nosebaer]

Hehe I love this tool!!! Its VERY useful 5/5

how shall path look like?

You must insert the path that you want to have to be filled in in the import manager of the map, e.g. if you insert "war3mapimported" everywhere, you do not have to change any paths for models or textures.

If it did not work: Did you save the map after inserting the datas?
If not: Do it, then it should work

 

[emperical]

Having a similar problem myself. Its definitely because I don't fully understand some parts of this.
I open up my mdx files and they all say blp instead, so I change them to mdx, and that does not work, so I let it be as a blp and that does not work either.
Any explanations someone can part with please?

 

[Obadiah332]

Works PERFECTLY! a MUST HAVE for modelerZ

 

[jcgonz]

hey same prob here>
the editor shows a green checkered cube instead of the models.
I removed the "war3mapimported" just like in some tutorials.
but it still doesn't show up....

 

[Shiroaisu]

[timcanpy93]

You have to save it, turn off the program and then run it again. Then it will show the items

I was trying to use your tool to use the in-game image for a model as well as a custom one i made...
I have one unit using the regular path (where you just choose a model from the list) and another using a custom path (going to the model that i changed to use the edited .blp), but the custom path only works when i use the path of the model's file in the archive, which then makes the model override the archives file making both units use the same .blp file (the one i made). how do i make a different path for the model to work?

But its still a great tool for changing the texture paths of models i download or just checking the paths of models when people dont tell them to you.

(Edit)Well i fixed my problem... just got a path of a unit i wasnt using and renamed my model to that unit.

Yeah you know it work, but teach us please, if you can and thank you in advance.

 

[darkdoom]

Amazing tool, helps a ton

 

[Ramza]

Opened a model, changed its path, saved model, imported model, saved map, closed editor, closed MDX Pather, opened map, ''Could not load file''.

So, what now?

 

[Quelthalasbg]

this is useless

 

[Renderer17]

wait..

what are the difference of this tools
compare
to change the path of hero "NORMALLY"?

is this program will help to merge the filesize?
than to normal mdx/texture pathing?

i need answer im confuse

 

[borissuworov]

Tool Just Great! But can you make "save listfile" function in it to save all mdx patches to txt?

 

[strongwill]

what exactly this tool do? yea, its an mdx pather. but what does that mean?? it lets me know what blp files my mdx file is using? i dont see the point...

 

[YeCoWa]

This is great. Simple but handy.

 

[ruok_imok]

Does this worker have source code? I want to do a lot of modified tools, and I don't have a mdx file structure, and I don't know where to start

 

[SSJ7107]

Please help me I tried importing a skin for a building and I changed its paths using this and when I constructed it in game it makes all textures black and I can hardly see anything please help.

 

[Lt_Hawkeye]

Assuming that are the paths are set correctly, resave the textures in blp lab. Also, are you on 1.27+?

 

[SSJ7107]

Well nevermind I solved it by increasing Light in the settings.

 

[LISBOAH]

How does this work? I opened a custom model, putted 'war3mapimported' into the textures and then saved the model, imported the model again, closed the Editor and reopened it, and yet it still doesn't appear.

Can someone please tell me?

 

[hiworm]

This one is good for helping in identifying texture pathings; at least, I've just started looking into making textures and this has helped uniquely and well.

 

[_Guhun_]

This tool is easy to use and pretty useful. Only thing that's missing is a commandline interface, but it's not very often that you need to use the commandline for changing paths, so it's not that big a deal. It does its job well and greatly accelerates my workflow when organizing textures.

For those who didn't realise to use it. I was strugling 2 at first.
1.- On warcraft 3 folder located in x86 files, go to_retail_ and there, create a folder named Textures (if you don't have one).
2.- Put your blp files on this folder.
3.- Open this program and modify the path of JUST the blp files that appear with the model you downloaded. Modification of the .blp files: Textures\here your blp.
Is very important to just modify the path of the blp files that appeared on the rar that you downloaded from hive or whichever web u downloaded.

This is incorrect, there's no need to put the textures anywhere in your install folder as that would defeat the purpose of importing files into a map, you just open an .mdx file with this tool and then edit the texture paths that are specified in it to whatever place/name you're going to import those textures in, it's that simple.

 

[Yudistira]

Very simple but versy useful stuff
