I imported a model and followed the tutorial perfectly that was on the page. However, when I go to use it, it doesn't work. The problem I believe comes when I actually try to use the model. Instead of saying .mdx at the end of the model after I select it, it turns into a .mdl file no matter what I do. Whats the deal?

Its normal to turn to mdl
I know it says "cant load <model>.mdl" (or whatever the error is) and displays a green box

After importing model Save map close map and re-open it
OR
Test map in game

if it worx in game then no problem if it doesnt you did something wrong or model is broken

hmmm... i think i know whats the problem. Wen you import the texture it must be on warcraft folder or it doenst work (at leaste for me) and the model too but the model can be in a "subfolder" in war 3 folder ex: warcraft 3/models, and in this case in the file path you have to put: models/(filename). hope it helped
