Models Not Appearing

[Chen]

Help! I created a model and it is close to completion so I tested it. It appeared in any modelling tools I use but it doesn't appeared in Warcraft 3 itself. Can you help me?

There are many possible reasons. You should upload your model and any associated textures so that we can take a closer look.

For now, you may want to check and make sure you have the textures paths set correctly and that there aren't any missing.

The texture used is in the model itself (sorry, I don't know the term for it, I'm new in modelling) and it doesn't need to be imported in the world editor.

I assume you mean it uses textures that already exist within the game and so you don't need to import them.

Yes, as PurgeandFire said, you should attach the model to your post or at the very least send some sort of screenshot or something if you don't want to release the file publicly. It's hard for us to help you with so little information.

Here:

 

[BallisticTerrain]

It would be best if you attached the actual model file so we could open it up and scan for problems.
Looking at the screenshot, I've seen a similar problem once when animations were exported wrong from 3ds Max. I'm guessing you're not using max but it might have something to do with animation.

A screenshot could probably show if there's something wrong with the way you imported it or the textures perhaps, but anything beyond that is hard to show. Again, I understand why you might not want to release the model files, so here's another suggestion: Upload the file to the pastebin and give the URL to either BallisticTerrain or PurgeandFire. I would like to help you myself, but I am probably the least knowledgeable of the three of us.

Both BallisticTerrain and PurgeandFire is online, who should I choose?

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Pick me pick me! I'll do my best to fix it.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Pick Ballistic first, I won't be able to check it until I get on my PC anyway.

I understand it already. I didn't imported the textures.

I thought it would use ingame textures. In that case you don't have to import them into your map.

But you would have to set the right pathes for the textures on your model correctly.

It is as simple as selecting the vertices of the sword and pressing the delete button. It takes a little while to recognize which ones belong to the sword..

I edited the texture.
