Warcraft Custom Model Path Issue.

[Alzoom]

So I received a model from someone (Chaos General), and I know how you need to change the custom path but I don't know what it is. There was no "readme" sent so no help there. I downloaded two programs that were suggested, "Warcraft Viewer" and "Mdx Pather". I was told, when in the application, to load the model and go to Used texture names but there are about 15, so I don't know what to do. I tried to just copy and past one of the many and paste it into the custom path but here's what happens, I see the model perfectly in WE but when I try to test the game, just a shadow. If I missed any additional information you need or clarification, just ask. I would REALLY appreciate any solutions, thank you!!

Attach the model, to see what happens...

It shows up on WE probably because u had it preloaded but not physically loaded in the map.

Try setting the model to the default path (war3mapimported\) and the textures used to (Textures\####.blp)

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, I didn't get a separate texture, it was already attached to the model, so I only have one file for it.

 

[Alzoom]

and Anvil, what do you mean exactly by that?

You mean it uses in-game textures?

Than just throw it in, do nothing to the path whatsoever, save and restart WE.

(actually, i bet it doesnt show up because your on low texture mode and the textures it uses are in high texture mode! Try that!)

If you want I could send the file I got for it.

wow I can't believe the answer was to do nothing, why didn't I think of that? Thanks!!

Sorry, I mean Attach the model, to see what's wrong... but i think it doesn't matter.

Of course, if it's a model, you don't need to change the path or anything.
