im trying to import a model from this page http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=94160 and the person didnt give a file path so im guessing its just textures/name.blp, i imported the model and texture and erased the wc3 filepath thing and go to use it and it doesnt show up, it says it cant load it and shows a cube. what am i doing wrong


EDIT: i got it working now nvm, thanks for helping though

I'm no modeler, but....

1. Have you closed the WE and then re-opened it?

2. Have you tried searching for modeling tutorials? There are a few around here if you just look for them....

hmm.. if it shows i cube, it means it cant load the model... try restarting your editor, that usualy happens when you just import a model into your map, if after the restart and it dosent you still get a cube, check the filename and post it here for us to check

damn ghan your a fast one >.<

While we're on the topic of importing Models. I can never find one that has everything with it. On the sites i've seen it just gives a zip of the Model/Portrait but no skins, so it doesn't work. Why is this?

Hang on i'll take a look at it, i've imported a few models and such...
Bbs.
Yeah I got it too but HOLY S**T those models are awesome and they have no skin which makes them like a million times easier.

if u imported the model with a texture in it, then u need to change the texture to the right path...for the model path, you dont need to change that

and if none of my answers are correct, then maybe the model is corrupted

EDIT: i looked at the model, and it was the bloodelf apendix pack, i have that models, and it works for my map

import the models inside, then save the map and lastly test the map, because testing the map is where you can find ur results

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
