Model Problems

[AvEnGeR87]

Why do models sometimes not appear? Well their shadow is there but the model isn't. I thought it was because it needed to be a mdx file but it turnes to mdl everytime i try to change it. Someone help.

Look up the Hive's model importing tutorial.
Make sure you set your imported files the right path.

 

[AvEnGeR87]

i did, i checked soo many times on like 5 models but it still dont appear.

3 ideas
1- If its a destructable you need to check "Art - Model has lightweight model" (or something liek dat)
2- Model is broken
3- Texture didnt imported liek it should be

 

[AvEnGeR87]

no its not a destructable and when i looked at the model description it says the model works properly

 

[NoobMapmaker]

try opening it in the model editor

 

[AvEnGeR87]

and yes i looked at the tutorial for model editor and it ade no sense

 

[Need_O2]

Ok, try this. . .

-Opening and closing the editor.
-Re-importing the model
-Building one of the units in game and seeing if it apears not just placing it in the editor

If not of that works contact the model maker and discuss with him.

 

[NoobMapmaker]

The easiest/fastest thing to test if the model is working is still by opening it in the model editor. Why go through all those WE testing? if it works in the model editor then the problem is the skin pathing; if it doesn't show up on the model editor then the model is broken, importing a broken model risk your map file to corrupt.

 

[AvEnGeR87]

yeah..umm..i dont know how to use the model editor so ill try hawks ideas.
and hawk900 what if the model is a doodad? you cant train doodads

 

[Kwah]

Uhhh. . . I don't know.

Make a trigger to place one?

 

[Need_O2]

sure you imported Monk.blp
and made its path Monk.blp (default its war3imported\Monk.blp you need to make it Monk.blp)

 

[AvEnGeR87]

well i got the monk working, must have copied a space on accident

but the tree i got is still a problem, and i dont know how to trigger a tree to spawn when im only a beginner terrainer
