Understanding model pathing

[Skidzy]

I have found many models I want to implement into my map but some of them have no path written for me to follow, and as this is all new to me I don't know whether or not I don't understand it because I don't know how to figure it out, or to get annoyed at the laziness of the poster.

Can anyone explain to me how to figure it out, if at all?

Import it, save the map. You don't have to change any paths. Then give some unit that model in object editor.

Got it, thanks

You only need to change path if the file is an image (.blp, or in some cases .tga files, etc.), however you don't necessarily need to change path of .mdx or .mdl files (both are the same and these are the model files).

In the example you posted - the villager, he has only the .mdx file, hence why Maker wrote you don't need to change any path.
