Models

[Vampiro320]

So a long time ago when i was still learning about triggers and all, i thought i could steal a couple models. (But i am not like that anymore) So i pulled it out of the map, and when i tried to import it it gave me the whole 'Could not set up temporary directory' 'Access denied' Back then i thought. 'Well it's probably a protected model' And went on with my life. But now that i know more, and i am importing the models from this site. (By the way awesome job the all the people who made them 5/5!) But i downloaded all these cool models, and 9/10 times it gave me the whole Could not set up temporary directory' 'Access denied' garbage all over again. I know people wouldn't put protected models in this site, and then the left over 1/10 times i get a model that will actually made it onto the map don't work. i get rid of the war3imported/ thing, and i restart the world editor, and i only got two to actually, and i made a new map, and when i put them on it either did the Could not set up temporary directory' 'Access denied' or they showed up as a green box. How do i get the models on, and how do i make sure they don't show up as a green box? It does the same thing when i attempt to put music on too. Thanks if you help.

Urdoinitwrong.

There's a tutorial attached to every model on this site. The link to it is right below the Download link.

(Also, there's no such thing as a protected model.)

I made it work on some models, So is there a deferent way for each model, and if i am doing it wrong. What is the right way to upload them on my map? They say go to the import manager, and pit it on, but thats where the where 'Access denied' thing came from.

If the models are improved then they work ingame (with several exceptions such as old models being incompatible with patches). You sure you have a legal wc3?

 

[Vampiro320]

I'm not sure, but that is probably the problem, thanks.

You are not sure if you own legal wc3?
...
AWESOME!

If there are any in the filename, try removing the \ before importing.

I didn't install it, i just use it. My brother used the disk install it, and placed a patch on it so we i don't have to use the disk, because I've already destroyed three disks...That's not a legal version? If i use the Disk to start, will it work?

 

[HappyTauren]

I don't think that is what matters. Basically, you are DoingItWrong. You are not following the tutorial below every model in the database.

I try that two. I don't want two sound mean or mad or anything like that, but that's not my current problem. I'm focused on getting it in, I have made it work, i know how to do it, maybe i posted the process wrong? I'll double check. By the way, not to get off topic or anything; but nice to meet you, I'm sure we'll get along well, i have good reputations from other sites.

Okay here is a step by step process, tell me if i make a mistake.

Model 1:Beach ball

1: Download model

2: Move ballSkin.blp to desktop

3: Move BeachBall.mdx to desktop

4: Open world edit

5: Module, import manager

6: Import file: BeachBall.mdx

7: Import file: BallSkin.blp

8: Delete war3imported/ on both files

9: Attach the files to peasent

10: Restart world edit

Now i have a beach Ball harvesting gold for me.

Model two: Arcain glave

1: download

2: place ArcaneGlaive_2.mdx on desktop

3: Open world edit

4: Mudule, Import manager

5:Import file: ArcaneGlaive_2.mdx

Heres what is says, tell me if you get any ideas

ERROR

Unable to set up temporary directory 'C:\Programs Files\Warcraft iii\WorldeditTem\'

I press okay

ERROR

Import Failed: could not set up temporary directory

I press okay, and that's the end it goes away, and my model doesn't make it to the map. Any ideas?

Don't double-post.

 

[Vampiro320]

Oh, my! Sorry, can i delete my own post and fix it? or...Am i stuck? I'll never do it again. Nice to see you again mon! Was Happening?

 

[Hawkwing]

Just edit the first and delete the second.

 

[Vampiro320]

I know how to edit them, but how do i delete them? And what does MQ and R stand for?

 

[Pyritie]

Hover your mouse over them...?

 

[Vampiro320]

Wait, what? hover my mouse over what? Do i click anything? I feel REALLY stupid right now, is it this hard for every new-comer?

 

[Pyritie]

Hover your mouse over the "MQ" and "R" buttons...

Try putting the model on the unit after you restart the map(you dont have to restart editor, just creat new map and go back to your map) Make sure you put on the right paths, many models have a custom path, require textures\ or just dont add anything

 

[Vampiro320]

Thanks, i got it working; and understand it better now.
