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 >.<
 
i tried restarting it but lemme try again

yes i looked through a tut to refresh my memory and i did what they said but its still not working

i got the one without a texture working but this one wont work still

GnomeWarlock.mdx
Texture\Warlockgnome.blp
 
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

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
