Importing Model Problem

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I downloaded an Arthas model over at http://www.wc3sear.ch then did the steps to import the model. To see my model in WE, I did as the tutorial here stated, and put the needed files to the Warcraft III directory. I was able to import it and put the model in the Death Knight unit then placed it in the map. I saw it in WE, but it was invisible in the game. I checked all the needed skins, they were all there. I checked all the mistakes I could have made, but found none. Could someone help me out? Maybe check it over, in case I looked over something? I also encountered a problem. I don't know if this really happens or it should be corrected, but I don't know since this is my first time importing. When I changed the model file of the Death Knight to the Import>File then clicked OK, it appeared to me as 'File'.mdl, and not 'File'.mdx .....Now was this supposed to happen? I tried clicking and choosing Import again, but it did it once more......

I attached the zip file I downloaded in this message. Could someone check it out???

BTW- These are the steps I took:

1)Extract all files to the root directory in a folder called 'Special'
2)Imported the files exactly as the tutorial here stated. The exact path for each except the model itself was 'Special\UndeadArthasCinema\Textures\'.
3)Saved the map, closed WE, then opened it once more before loading the map
4)Changed Death Knight's model to Import>'File'.
5)Placed 1 Death Knight in the map
6)Tested the map

I hope someone can help me out :(

I had a similar problem with the same model a while ago and this is how I finally imported it and it worked.

in the import manager, import all the files and change the file directory like so:
.mdx - put "units\" in front of the name
.blp - put "textures\" in front of the name

it should look something like this:
units\undeadarthascinema.mdx
textures\arthascloakx.blp
textures\red_glow3.blp
textures\ribbonblur1.blp
textures\tornado2b.blp

hope I've helped :)

    Guys just a heads up I am going to be shutting the site down soon. I am just waiting on the NUON people to decide whether they want to transfer forum data and keep the discord. My email is [email protected] for anyone that wants to keep in touch and I have a facebook too. I will make an official post later. Love you guys and will miss everyone!

    Oh no - please don't lose the Nuon content

    Someone email AtariAge and see if they want me to transfer the forum data over to it
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Could probably keep NUON stuff around here if we wanted.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm what to do about the World Editor site though?
  • Stephen Stephen:
    I'd rather personally just own a backup of the Nuon data than see it go to AtariAge honestly. If it gets enshittified as per usual, or if some of the "regular" Jaguar folks get there, it's not gonna be fun
  • The Helper The Helper:
    There will be a github of the forum data so the NUON Forum Data I guess would be available there
  • The Helper The Helper:
    World Editor is technically Ryoko stuff not mine you guys can keep that I am not in that even
  • jonas jonas:
    :( end of an era :(
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Dont think of it as an end jonas - think of it as a beginning, because really my friend that is what it is.
  • A Andyoyo:
    Thank you for the hard work over the years. It did not go unnoticed.
