so i tried changing the link to : units\human\WaterElemental\WaterElemental.mdx

If you changed just the textures there should be no need to import a new model. In this case green box is symptomatic of a malformed/corrupt texture.

Otherwise if you are changing the model it sounds like you have malformed/corrupted the model file. Some third party model editors did not properly implement the mdl/mdx specification so can produce invalid models. Especially if features are used that are not common such as animated textures on the Water Elemental.

so you mean i must not delete the "Lord000" - "Lord007" .blp ? or its okay to delete them then just import the edited Lord000.blp?

Someone said some of the textures in the mpq didn't transfer correctly for the ptr including one of the water ones.
So if you're playing the ptr it's probably that.
