Models aren't loading?

[dantenightfall]

Okay so out of sheer boredom i've been downloading mods from this site and just making custom units in a melee map so I can play it offline.

Now, I followed the directions for importing models carefully, and when I reload the map, the unit models still fail to load! I even tried testing the map and all that shows up is the ground texture.

How can I make it so every model works? The models aren't broken, they worked in the past.

There's probably something small you're missing: a typo in the path name or something.
If the model doesn't have a custom texture, it's beyond my knowledge

Eh, when I attach an imported file to a unit, the model file path shows up as MDL, not MDX. I tried renaming it several times, like the imported file to mdl, etc. But this seems to be irrelevant, as some mods work.

Yeah... mdl / mdx doesn't really matter.
The file paths do matter though (like "textures\SomeModel.blp"), if the path name of a texture isn't correct, the model will not work.

I knew that, though the majority of these mods don't use any custom textures.

Could you send me a test-map with these models in it? (or just link me the models that aren't working for you)
I'd like to see it myself ^^

Alright, I put up a lot of my mods in the import manager, the most important ones. Some of them have worked, like 1 or 2, but ones like the WW2 tank never do.
There's plenty more, but i'm sure they work the same way as the ones that don't work listed.

There you go, it works for me...
If you still encounter any problems, please say so.

 

[dantenightfall]

Well, some more of them work, but some of them still don't work for some reason...

Sometimes, just restart the world editor and they work. If models have custom blps, make sure to follow the right path in the import manager.

 

[dantenightfall]

I tried that too, including trying different maps, blank and melee... urgh

Might be something wrong with your world editor itself?

Weird, they really work for me (all of them)...
Acorn might be right, but I've never heard something like that before :/
