Hello all, I've been having issues importing a couple of models. specifically :

Now, this isn't the first time importing models. I do it all correctly, import all associated files and remove the "war3mapImported\" prefix.

I have about 13 working, custom models already. Its just these few that are giving me an issue. When i load them ingame they say "cannot find *filename*.mdl "

If it helps, its a fresh install of WC3, and TFT with NO updates. Please get back to me asap, its holding up my map progress D=

Usually it is a wrong texture path that causes models not to work. Some of those models don't have custim texture so it must not be that.

Check that the imported file's size isn't 0. If it is, reimport the model.

Do the models work in the editor? You could post your map.

No point uploading the map, its basically empty. I just get all my units out of the way when i make my maps.

But yes, there is a filesize. i have the MainBattleTank_GrizzlyMkV.mdx in my import list which reads 231kb. I've already tried to re-import the models numerous times. :(

Done a lot of work whilst waiting for replies xD decided to just continue.

Here is my map, with the battle tank already imported.

Really? That's interesting... I had a peasant with the tank model and it didn't work at all. Is it possible that it has to be a hero for the model to work? Or could our game versions be different?
