Importing models.

[Penguin-]

Another problem (once again RoC only)

I'm looking to download new models. I have done so and now the problem is getting them into my map.

Me being on RoC only, i have created the directories in the local folder.

E.G (for a ranger)

units\human\human\ranger.mdx
replaceabletextures\commandbuttons\ranger.blp
------------------------------------------------------

When i load up the WE and go to a unit (in the object editor) , type in the directory of my blp it loads fine.
However when i target my .mdx in the model line. It says it cant load the
.mdl
I tried to follow the follwing tutorial however i only have the RoC editor and cannot follow any of the F12 import manager stuff as RoC doesnt have an import manager.
http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Tutorials&t=Import_Models

Is there something i need to do to the .mdx file (without the import manager) in order to let my WE get to the .mdl (which i assume is inside the .mdx)

Any help would be great thanks.
(if i was unclear about anything just ask)

I don't know how RoC works, but try placing the unit into your map, and hit the TEST button, or re-start the WE.

PS: Regester! I've seen you make, like, 40 threads...

An .mdl is a text version of an .mdx. I haven't entirely figured out how WC3 does that kind of stuff, but I know that it often uses the .mdl extension even when .mdx extensions work fine...

hmmm

i enter the directory of my .mdx
(units\human\ranger\ranger.mdx)
but as i hit return it automatically tries to load an .mdl
(units\human\ranger\ranger.mdl)

even though there is no mdl only an mdx.

Are .mdls inside the mdx?? how can i get at them, and why wont it let me just use an .mdx instead of an .mdl??

the editor "converts" automatically the mdx to mdl., don't worry about that.

if you can't see the models in the world editor, even after re-loaded it, check if you put the textures in the right folder
