Model Import Trouble

I imported the fire elemental model from BlizzTD, and it is not showing up. I've checked the tutorial, changed file names, and reloaded the model, but it still does not show up. In fact, the unit isn't even selectable. Is the file just corrupted or what?

Thanks ahead of time

Do you know the path of the models ?

If I remember correctly that fire model also has some custom textures. You'll need to import them as well and put the corresponding paths. Just copy everything about that model from BlizzTD import editor to your own map import editor.

I'm sure I can help.

PM me the link to the model, and your account name on BNet (so I may contact you) so I know who you are— then I'll host a map with the working model in it (if it's fixable).

That, or you can E-mail/host your map, and I'll import the model into that.

Let me know if you're interested (or if this matter has already been resolved).

The model is the model for the fire elemental in BlizzTD(6). Look it up in your "scenario" folder under maps and see if you can export it to a new map.

Ok, I've tried finding the custom skin for this model and simply cannot find it. I exported every single .blp file to a test map and still get nothing when I play test the map.

Look the name of the .blp in the mdx.. that's it.

How exactly do I look at the .blp in the mdx? I know how to find the .mdx, but not look around in it.

Evernite.
Simply open the file through Notepad. The line should be referred to as "Textures" and look like something like that when you press CTRL+F:
Code:
Textures: Textures\ModelName.blp

That way you find the path needed easily.

Lol, no, it's mdx, not mdl.

Use Mdx pather, the easiest thing.
Please, don't ask where you can find it.....

Finally found it. It turns out the model uses about 10 custom textures, and you have to remove the "war3imported/" part from the file path. Thanks for help guys.
