[Solved] Warcraft 3 world editor can't load models.

[Amigoltu]

Hello. I have a problem with wc3 world editor. I created a human guard model and it works fine on mdlvis and war3 viewer but it just don't work in warcraft 3 world editor. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

I'll give it a try...
Do you have TFT?
And have you imported the models?

You need to re-load the map after importing the model, and even then it sometimes doesn't show up correctly.
If you've imported everything to the correct location (mainly textures), then it should still show up in-game though. If it doesn't, then there's something wrong with your path names (or imports).

In world editor I replace the model with standart footman model and when I reload the map, I see a green box instead of the unit.

1) Link to the model, please?
2) Which files did you import and to which paths?
3) Does it show up in-game correctly?

No, import model, save map, only then use the model. No need to reload the map.

There are only 2 files : HumanMaleGuard.blp and the model file HumanMaleGuard.mdx
in game I can see only shadow

Hmh, yeah. The model-file says it requires 2 (non-default) textures, but there's only 1 texture in the pack.
I just removed that second texture, seems to work fine after that.
Do you know who made this model? Might be part of a bigger pack that does include that texture...

No, import model, save map, only then use the model. No need to reload the map.

Cool, that does indeed work.

I exported this model from wow mpq files. And yes there is a second texture but my model doesn't use it, so it's not needed. And how can I remove the texture?

 

[ap0calypse]

I did that already, see the attachment in my previous post.

It works! Finally! Thank's a lot for help, really needed this. Just can u tell me how you remove the textures ? for future models

Oh okay, first you need to get War3 Model Editor.
Open the model, go to Windows -> Texture Manager. Find the 'unused' texture, right-click and press "remove". Save the model and it's all done.
Be careful though: those textures are probably there for a reason .

Thanks dude, i was same problem. Your explanation is not complete, but it was enough for me to understand what I should do. I have removed texture paths in texture manager. After that, i have imported same textures again and restoring paths. And then, it works.
