Models in Warcraft 3

[Deadworker]

hey guys,

im new so please be patient with me.
i have a problem with importing models. i downloaded some models from this site and want to use them. in the rar.-archives there are just .mdx files. i never imported models before, so i went in the editor, started the model-importer and imported these .mdx files. but if i want to use them there are just some green-black boxes. i read a thread about importing, they said something about .tga files which are used for the textures, but i dont have .tga files in the download. so i searched in this forum and found the model-editor. but i dont know how to get a .tga file out of the .mdx file.

pls help

The required textures should be inside the rar if the models uses a custom texture...

Also, be sure to save your map first before using any imported models... and lastly, is your wc3, TFT version 1.26a?

Import the model, close the map first, then open it and assign.

As Adiktuz said, you must import both the model and the required texture to the map then use custom path. there is actually simple tutorial for importing models in every model in the model section. Read it for further knowledge.
