Model Invisible, why?

[Argus]

So I've put together this little model, it's Gul'dan with abit of glow, a dissipate animation and the Blood Mage attatchment points (Sphere).
However when tried in the WE it is invisible without animations, like how it get's when you import a model and forget the skins, but I haven't done anything with the skins. Anybody know what the problem is?

Im pretty sure it is missing texture paths?

 

[Evillizard]

/facepalm he said he has no textures. Only TEXTURES need paths.

Are you sure you converted the model back to .mdx because your uploaded file is in .mdl, WC3 World Editor can't work with .mdl.
EvilLizard, he has textures, but only ingame textures, so he doesn't need parts.

 

[Argus]

Yes I did import it as .mdx, just figured it's easier to look at in .mdl since some tools won't work in .mdx.

 

[Argus]

I suppose a bump is in order.

 

[Argus]

And one more.

 

[Argus]

And again.

 

[Argus]

Bump.

 

[Argus]

Again perhaps?

 

[HappyCockroach]

Can you see the animation names in the World Editor preview thing?

 

[Argus]

No. Sorry.

 

[HappyCockroach]

That means the model couldn't be properly loaded. Either because:
- Some event object has no reference in the mpq database or imported files
- A custom texture is missing
- The file extension is invalid

In your case, the file extension is invalid. What ruins it is the "Summoner4.0.mdx". That dot indicates that the next to come is the extension, and there is no 0.mdx extension supported by wc3. Rename it to Summoner4.mdx and you'll be fine, I suppose.

You sir, are brilliant!

I changed the filename, but it didn't work. However then I had a look at the Event Objects and one of them weren't tracking anything! It works now, thank you!
Brilliant!
