Everytime I open a model with the Viewer (only if the model's skin is in the package), this error message comes up and I cannot view it or import it (I can import it, it just doesn't show up).

Here is the message:


Error!
Unable to load "Textures\CobraHelicopter.blp", file does not exist!
The thing is that the file does exist! It's in the folder with it!

Any help please?

well you need to put it under Textures folder
YourFolder\modelname.mdx
YourFolder\Textures\modelsprite.blp

WARNING
This is not same with everymodel
its creators decide that you need to put it under "Textures"

also you must open the model in a note pad and check the texture line and make sure the texture path is the same as the blp.

Textures 3 {
Bitmap {
Image "Textures\gutz.blp",
}

make sure that doesnt say image "White.blp. it gotta match your current blp, if your using 3ds max 5 then when you export the line should read

Textures 3 {
Bitmap {
Image "gutz.blp",

now you have to change it to

Textures 3 {
Bitmap {
Image "Textures\gutz.blp",
}
and it should now work in the viewer, make sure that the blp is in the same file as the model before opening viewer... hope this helped
