White models

[Lee_Go]

I wasn't sure to put this in the model section or help section but I figure since it happens with a lot of downloaded models, I must be doing something wrong.

What does it mean when a model is just its base white? Am I doing something wrong?

 

[takakenji]

yes.

you're not importing the texture correct

 

[Lee_Go]

hmm... that doesnt make sense, this agave model had no textures, i just imported saved, closed then opened map, and it just came up as white base

 

[takakenji]

hm, strange, can you give me a link to the model?

 

[SamNainocard]

Did you removed "war3imported/" from its full path? (.mdx and mostly .blp)

works fine for me, try reimporting it

 

[Lee_Go]

k ill try, oh and ty for reply.

 

[Lee_Go]

wat was ur base doodad for it?

 

[SamNainocard]

Wait, Doodads won't load a replaceable texture (maybe does, but something like Tree and Elevator in Doodads also white), so uses Destructible instead.

Maybe add texture into model? I don't know.

I think he is using the model as a destructable (Like trees).

 

[Lee_Go]

No i used my base model as an environment shrub, but when i look on the Model File, it comes up as white. Like the WC3 trees...

 

[Master of Eagles]

So tell us what did you exactly do. It worked for me either.

 

[Lee_Go]

Lol alright, 'Agave' has no different texture so all i did was import the 'Agave', save then reopen editor, set a custom shrub to the 'Agave' model, and it comes up as white base model...

 

[Lee_Go]

Did you removed "war3imported/" from its full path? (.mdx and mostly .blp)

oh i did not remove the war3imported/ because the models readme said it didnt have any different textures. I could leave is it was...

 

[Master of Eagles]

I usually don't remove that from my models. With texture or without them. And they work. You should only remove that from the texture.

 

[Lee_Go]

well its not like i haven't imported 100's of models, so i'm just confused why this is coming up. (EDIT*) Well I don't do many terrains, so i think now that im importing environment things, its happening.
