Model doesn't show

[NightSkyAurora]

Hey everyone, I've downloaded a dragon model from wcunderground and imported the model and the 3 textures. I deleted the 'wc3mapImported\' from the model file at the custom path but only it's shadow appears on the map. Why?

incorrect path to the model's textures. Make sure all .blp files related to the model have set correct path in the import editor.

I didn't used custom paths at the .blp files and I made sure it was spelled correctly. what should the .blp paths be then?

 

[Nichilus]

Look in zip file that you downloaded (the one that contains that model) and there is usually .txt file with directions about what custom paths you should use for .blps
- or it's on the same page as where you downloaded the model from.

Nope theres nothing else.... only 2 foldiers that contains skins of a diffirent color.

Can you show us the download link, let us check the path of the model.
There should be a how to import note there,

 

[NightSkyAurora]

ok here it is but you need to register to download the file http://wcunderground.freeforums.org/twilight-dragon-t446.html

Hmm, seems no path or how to import or instruction how to use there, are you sure this is a trusted website for models?

 

[NightSkyAurora]

Uhm... no, I'm new there

A ported model, eh? I'm not sure if helping with ported model doesn't break any policy here, if yes, then mods feel free to edit/delete my post.

From what I see in the .mdl, the only needed textures are
twighlightdragon_ChangableTexture1.blp
twighlightdragon_ChangableTexture3.blp
twighlightdragon_ChangableTexture2.blp
and they require no path (i.e. you delete war3imported in the import menu)

----
anyway, do you really need model that takes 3mb of your map?

---
EDIT:
Made a test map where i imported that model. Works fine, model shows.
Make sure you didn't accidentally delete part of the textures' / model's name

Aah Nichilus you make me feel like an idiont... I tried many custom paths and I've never thought about simply removing the path. Anyway about the size; without the model my map is extremely small and I think that that model will make a perfect end game boss due to it's many animations and alternate animations. I'm also going to protect my map that cuts of some gigabites so size doesn't really matter. Thanks alot bro

 

[Daffa]

Well, that was fast?
Was about to tell you to use this Tool to check the path

Thanks, this can still be usefull
