Intro:
I'm calling anyone, expert enough to help me in my Monkey King Modeling Project.

Details:
Well, I was making this Monkey King model but I'm also new to this stuff. I finished this, awhile ago and upload it. This is What it looks like:

Maybe the project is too catchy so it caught one of the moderators' eye and quickly reviewed it. Result: Needs Fix

Misha: sorry, but that is really not enough changes to the model
try to make it less.. bad for next time (mainly paladin body shape.. it's too low-poly)

and i doubt this chara has satyr horns on the head

Anyway, I'm trying to improve it so I was researching authentic Chinese Armor pictures and I found Lu Bu's Armor. Here:

My Plan: To re-texture my model into somewhat lu bu's armor. This is my texture:

And Done:

The model still needs fixing.

I followed this tutorial in re-texturing:


My problem:
When I test it, it could not load my file. The tutorial only explains to how to re-texture models using WC3 existing models. I want to use mine.

I really need anyone's help. Thanks in advance.


 
You have to import it under the correct texture path. Go to Windows -> Texture Manager, and view the path to your custom texture.

When you import the model, import the MDX, and then import the texture with that path. Save the map. If the model still doesn't load, restart the editor (close it, and reopen it). If that doesn't work, then attach the model and texture here, or send it to me via a PM so I/we can see what is wrong.

Thank you so much for your replies...

What I did first is finished the model itself then I made the custom textures. The model uses 2 textures, one from Uther and the other is from Satyr. Of course I deleted the original Uther and Satyr texture so that I won't be confused. When I go to the texture manager, I cannot view the texture's Path. I can only view what it looks like as an image. When I open it using WC3 Viewer, It looks fine. It can even autoload the textures in the Model editor. When I import the model including the portrait and the textures, close the world editor, I could not load. It's still just a green box.

I've attached a .rar file in this message and please tell me what you need more from me so that you can help properly.

Thanks again for your time.., :D
