som1 help plz! {whenever I import a unit or attachment, it turns to a purple cube}

[iroin0]

wenevr i import a unit or attachment it comes up as a purple cube.
(and the tutorial said it would come up as green ).
i followed the tutorial very carefully and tried opening and closing my map but it keeps on saying "could not load file: warcraftIII imported blah blah blah etc...

Try another model, maybe the model is corrupted or something like that.

Option 1

Make sure the unit path is correct.When importing a file it usually say war3imported\bla\bla\bla , most models dont use that path , so you have to change it via the importing section in your WE , read the readme for the model and the path is not there then you must not change anything.

Option 2

If the paths are correct then try testing your map , it may be a purple cube and it may say that it was not able to load , but sometimes the model still works.

Option 3

NOTE: if it is a skin your importing then you must make sure your icon is imported correctly, after that you must change the ''Model File'' to a unit thats allready in war3 eg Units\Humans\Footman.mdl, you should find the Model file path in the Readme.

I hope this helps

So, the only reason is a corrupted model. Check if the model's dont have any geoset animation without a proper geoset. This is the main reason that corrupt most models.

Or maybe its your computer. PS: can you attach the model and his textues into the post?
