Hello there!

I'm struggling really hard to make this model work: Prime Matron

It has three files that are necessary to import:
1. Prime Matron.mdx
2. Prime Matronskin.blp
3. Prime MatronskinII.blp

I imported all three of these. I took the Succubus unit and changed it's Art - Model file to Prime Matron.mdx, but I'm not sure what to do from here.

The pathing of the original Succubus unit is this: units\demon\Demoness\Demoness
Should I put this in front of each .blp flie in the import editor or what should I do?

Thank you for your help!

Sir Moriaty is right. Just follow the HIVE and import this model. You can change model unit ''Art-Model File'' and choose your model file.(must be mdx file):wgrin:

Well guys I must be an idiot, because I do exactly as the guide sais and it still does not appear in the game. Only the unit's shadow.
I guess my paths are still not correct, what should it be? The full path for PrimeMatronskin.blp should be what, \Prime Matronskin.blp?

It should look like this:

After importing all files, save your map, and then modify the unit's "Art - Model File" in the object editor. It should work right away as it did for me.

Wow thank you guys for replying so quickly! I never would have thought that all it takes to make this work is a simple restart after importing. It works perfectly now, thank you all!
