If you are using Magos, Go to Windows Tab and click the MPQ Browser, there you can browse the war3.mpq and war3x.mpq and view the models with texture.

yes, that's exactly what i did xD, ty btw

there's just one problem, which is frustrating me -_-
i am using a laptop, and my mouse wheel is broken, so i can't zoom when i edit the model
i need to zoom in order to (properly) select the points of the model and rescale them
i've tried zooming with the touch pad but no result, and i've seen videos on utube where other users zoom (somehow, maybe it's not with mouse wheel idk)

some experienced modellers' suggestions?

I had this problem too because I'm using laptop. What I do is create a new Camera and Right click and select View Camera after editing the Camera's position indicated by 3 coordinates.

HOW TO CREATE CAMERA IN WAR3 MODEL EDITOR
1. Open the editor
2. Click Windows > Camera Manager
3. Right-click inside the window (If it has nothing there)
4. Choose from "Create New" or "Create New From Current View"
5. Done

Oh you mean in the Model Editor you can't zoom. I suggest using vertexmodify which has a better GUI when editing a model plus you can pan and zoom via a button. That software can only edit Mdl file so ooen your mdx in Magos and Save As Mdl. I can't remember where I got it but you can google it. The hive has one in the tools section but I don't know if it is working. Vertexmodify can also Clone, Extrude and Delete Nodes which is a restriction in Magos.
