[REQUEST] info on model editing

[kevv2]

hi. i have 2 models that use the same extention for loading their image... can anyone tell me how i could change the name of a .blp file and change the one in the .mdx also... the model is Cloud but i have 2 Clouds in my map
(i have a trigegr that will replace one by the other but its messed up since 2 models use the same blp)
can anyone help me?

P.S here is the problem...
when i load ''dark'' cloud in the map he uses the normal Cloud .blp so he is all gray with an arm on his sword and his face is on his butt his wings have his coat etc...

1) - Copy and rename the .blp (eg, Cloud2)
2) - Extract the .mdx (Cloud2.mdx)
3) - convert it into .mdl
4) - open it and change the used texture "Cloud.blp" to "Cloud2.blp"
5) - convert it back to .Mdx and import Cloud2.mdx and Cloud2.blp

Convert the MDX to an MDL, then edit it. MDX is in binary so MDL is much more readable.

Edit (in the MDL): change Cloud.blp to Cloud2.blp

Save then convert to MDX.

If you open the Mdl you have to change the textures it uses... Here a pic
