I want to remove the pickaxe from the villager's model animation. I also don't want to break the games model file. I opened the model and removed the pickaxe. I saved it as a different file on my desktop. How do I import the edited file on to just one map to replace the villager model? How do I find the right paths?

What does it mean when all the imported models have 0 size? This keeps changing. Do I need to import them again?

1) Press ctrl+D in the object editor to display raw data (such as unit path) -> units\critters\VillagerMan\VillagerMan

2) Imported files with 0 size seem to happen mostly when you test the map without prior saving, thus make it a habit to save the map before every test.
Sometimes files can be corrupt - this seems to be very rare (can't remember if it happened even once to me).
Always save directly after importing.
