Slight issue with "Mc !" 's "Dragon" model.

Model: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/dragon-49810/?prev=search=dragon&d=list&r=200&t=1

Installation Tutorial: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models.php?id=xizeji&p=tutorial_import

It doesn't work, as the tutorial says/shows that the .mdx (model file) and the .blp (texture file) shall have different names.

Blasphemy!

It should be changed to show it should be named either
"RedDragon.mdx" and "RedDragon.blp"
or
"LandDragon.mdx" and "LandDragon.blp",
because that will fix the problems with installing it.

(Edit: Don't know if this has been posted already, but whatevs)

As you might have notices, the size of the texture (that .blp file) is 0 kb. This means that texture is just fake and should not be imported.
Just import the .mdx, name it as you please, save your map, close We and reload your saved map and that should do the trick.

For the future you should first check the Model site itself when you discover some erros importing the model..

Just scroll down a bit and click on: Click here to display advanced details.

after that new informations about the model will pop up/rolled down..
you can look at poly count and other useful info, like this:

	Path	Required	Included
	Textures\RedDragon.blp	No	Yes
	Textures\gutz.blp	No	No
	ReplaceableTextures\Weather\Clouds8x8.blp	No	No

As you can see, the RedDragon Texture is not required for import.. but included in the download file.. so as Frankster said, just don't import that .blp file then.
