Models aren't loading?

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. :sad:

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

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.

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.
