problem with getting a certain model to work

[andreasaspenberg]

the creator of the model have vanished from the online community so i cant ask the original creator. i tried everything i could think of to get the model to work in the editor. this problem is world editor related because the model works in the model editor.

Try restarting WE when you import the model.
OR
It uses custom textures, try importing them and check if it doesnt work again
If neither of these two works, then maybe there is a problem with the model...

Good Luck.

i tried to restart the editor but the model still didnt appear. it works in the map i exported it from.

have you tryed renaming model and texture to like:
obelisk.MDX
texture/obelisk.MDL

Wait, which is texture and which is model? Anyway texture/ should be given to texture, not model.

i got it working, thank you. the texture is named obelisk.blp. i had to set path to obelisk.blp without any folder names.

Why it is just 'obelisk.blp' is because of when you import a texture to your modeleditor (Magos at least), the source name of your texture will be 'obelisk.blp' that you'll be using for you model. And when you import your model with this new skin, the model will search after the 'obelisk.blp'.
