u needa change the files textures path. go to the site where u downloaded and check the paths. change from wc3imported/FILE to whatever the path says.

imprting.

Import the model and the .blp

Change the filepath of infantry.blp to just "infantry.blp"

The model's filepath don't need any changing..

~~

To know this things, look below the information or just up the Ads. You'll see there are filepaths overthere.. The ones written red are the important ones so you need to import them..

 

[waaaks!]

ok, try importing the model again, and also import the texture, then change the texture path to "infantry.blp", dont change the path of the model, save it and try testing it ingame

ok i guess i am braindead...

It still doesnt work, i tried re-importing and also changing the texture path to what u suggested but... nothing changes

btw is it normal for the file (when mdx) to change to mdl in wcIII when used on a unit?

also... when i open wc3 it says soemthing like "problem loading blabla/blabla/infantry-1b.mdx or something like that.....

 

[mushroom911]

btw...

btw some other models work so its something specific about this model that doesnt... i tried w3viewer and the model displayed perfectly....

 

[0zaru]

errr please post the paths of the models that you need =P and where do you get them since you need the correct paths

wow chill brother Mushroom, first of all, i have the same problem before, but after that, i notice it would be easier for us is to use this tool,
MDX path finder, one great tool for who are having trouble importing stuff.

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/tools/481/

This tool let u see and change the path urself, so that u can easily import stuff and not having to check the path anytime. But remember, u only need to import stuff that came with the package it came with, the rest of the paths are the in game skin U DONT HAVE TO IMPORT THEM. And if u are going to use MDX pather, dont change the in game skin path, or it will mess up the mdx file.

hope this helps Mushroom.

EDIT: o btw, if u delete the warcraf3importedfiles/ directory thingy, and just leave the the file name in the directory, like for example
bloodmageDARK.mdx
instead of war3mapimported/bloodmageDARK.mdx
with the skin files import properly, then WE should be able to show it, u probably need to restart WE to really see if thats the first time u import it into WE. The restart WE is only needed if the import file have a custom skin.

Some solutions:

1. Try restarting World Editor

2. Make sure you have ALL the .blp files required

3. Double check the paths for ALL of the .blp files

4. Check the comments for the model from the site you downloaded it from, see if they updated it, or the model simply does not work

Okay I was wrong, YOU SHOULD change the file path of the mdx file..

ERASE war3imported\ of both .mdx and .blp filepaths in the Import Manager..

 

[mushroom911]

Yay!

Huzzah, thanks for all the help guys! i guess i am somewhat just plain stupid.. or just think slow... for osme reason the model doesnt work with custom units for me... but when i based it off on a normal peasant... WHOOHOO! thx guys i owe u bigtime!!!!! (how do i give rep? if possible id like to ... that is if it doesnt add automatically)

EDIT: also i think i cant upload models from a portable usb hardware device.. think that mightave been the prob...

 

[mushroom911]

w00t?

Ok i discovered what was happening.. is that normal?


.... when i save, exit and open the map again, the models dont load and they display as boxes... but if i DONT save exit and open again.. everything is fine... wtf? anyone know whats wrong?

or wait... the model only works when i open wcIII editor double clicking on the model.. wtf... ok im disoriented
