Problem with model not staying .mdx

yeah i bet its been asked many times before but I like to investigate before asking and found no solution. This is my problem.

When I import a model into editor, its fine. Until I change the settings on the unit i want to represent that model. Instead of changing to model.mdx it automatically changes to .mdl and model will not work...


any experienced users out there please help me address this. Thanks

The game changes the name to .mdl, but the model should still work, unless there's a problem with the model itself or the pathname. Check those, and if you still have a problem, post with more details.

this actually does nothing.
