tolerated or not?

Hey all!
I was making some simple custom models (not meaned to upload them on THW), but some of them are no showing up in Warcraft 3 Editor and gameplay. I made them with the following tools: Magos, Vertex Modify and Geoset merger. What can be the error or bug? I don't get an error message ingame or in War3 Editor, they just don't show up and i can select them ingame.
I browsed the internet for a fixing tool, and found this one: http://zapnexor.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/diabolic-warcraft-iii-tools-v0-3-by-diabolic/. Is this a tool that's allowed 2 be used on THW? How good is it? Has any1 ever tried it? Is it a possible solution for my problem?

On the unselectable model, I guess you either need to recalculate the extends of the model, add selection boxes/spheres or do both. Both can be done with Magos.

On the changer thingy I guess it's just a look changer. We have something similar in the tools section. It won't help you with your model problem.

Probably your wc3 folder and you won't be able to play the game.

For the tool: Just make shure you make a backup of your mpq's, than it should be fine I guess.

tried it with the extensions but it didn't work either. Whenever i place a unit in war3 editor that uses as model file one of those custom-mades, they show up as a green-black, chessboard-styled box and displays me the following message: Could not load file: <Name of the model>.mdl. I know how to import models in War3 editor, i did all things needed, imported the .mdx models, here is a screenshot of my issue:

Send me over that model, I try to find out what's wrong.

that's and a few others are the ''foul guys'', but i made them all the same way. So i guess it must be the same error. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=0hjesu

Oh, I see the problem. You have the 'Replaceable ID 0' texture in your model. Remove it and the associated material and it will work.
