Problems with adding Models

[Androth]

OK Guys,
Im here for like 1 hour, and here is my first question
I have a problem with adding some Models to my World Editor, I read the Tutorial on this site, and I think I did everything as it's said... Whatever I explain:
I downloaded the Naruto Model Pack from skrab, ok they are on my Desktop right now, then I tried to add them to my World Editor via Import Manager.
I used "Import Files...", I've chosen all the Models from Desktop.
They appeared in that list, I edited the path to "Custom Path" e.g.:
gaara.blp
gaara.mdx
I used "Mdx Pather" to confirm the path.
So after editing all those paths I restarted the World Editor.
After starting World Editor they should appear in the Object Manager when I try to edit the Model used for certain Units, at least it's what i think, but i doesnt.

NOw Im kinda helpless...

I really really hope a thread like this isnt already opened somewhere in the deeps of the Hive, I searched for it, but didnt find anything useful, so please forgive me

Thanks in Advance
Androth!

Those models are tricky since many of them are not posted in our resource sections and therefore have not been tested and approved by the model mods: there's no guarantee that they even function properly.

For your present situation it's probably best to double check the custom texture paths using Warcraft III Viewer, then try the import process again.

Ok seems like that Im doing something wrong, since I tried to do that with that http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/2383/ and it still dont work
Anyone have a clue what Im doing wrong?

Thanks in Advance
Androth!

Just make sure the paths are right. Don't edit the mdx files, just the mdl. That or as Wolverabid said, they just don't work.

Tried the Wringwraith model you posted, it works for me. Here is what your import should look like.

Somehow I still dont get it...
Ok guys this is what I have:

For Hive Workshop models, notice the custom texture file path marked in bright red text?

Example: NazgulRider

[COLOR="Red"]Textures\NazgulRider.blp[/COLOR]
Textures\LightningBall.blp
Textures\Dust3x.blp

You must import that skin into your map, select "Use Custom Path" and then paste in the path exactly as shown.

For the Garra model, check your file name and try changing garra.mdx to Garra.mdx.

In the model pack, there are 2 skin files called "special.blp" and "special2.blp".

You may have to import those as well.

Also, the files for the model go like this:

"gaara.mdx" "gaara.blp"

And the result is...

Would you mind telling me if it was the "special.blp", "special2.blp", or the paths that helped?

 

[Androth]

i think it was both, i just did both thingys at once, now it works ^^

Delete the war3mapImported\
--donut3.5--

It is okay if the war3mapImported is there... For the .mdx at least. The .blp must be "name.blp" unless it has a texture directory.

 

[donut3.5]

One way you can get the paths:
1.) Use a mdl/x converter to convert to .mdl
2.) Open the .mdl with notepad, and look for a list of textures. Any of those that aren't ingame ones you will have to import.
