I hope to God that someone has an answer for me here.

I've got some models I've imported into a map to test them out, but when I actually tried the map, the units don't show up. How come?

I beg of you (whoever "you" is)... help!

It would help if you gave more specifics. Did you make these or are they downloaded? Did it come with a readme specifying paths? Do you have models and textures imported and in theh corect path?

These are my own models. I edited a Grunt into a lizardman, and Jaina into my own character.

I put the .mdx and .blp in the textures folder and used the exact same pathname when I imported them. They show up in the World Editor, but they don't show up in game.

most of the time the green/black cube means that a texture / attachement could not been found at the specified location. IF itdoesnt help you give more details or send (an "empty" map with your unit and its skinns)

the skinpath must be correct and the line replaceable 1 in the mdl must be removed

I'm pretty sure it also happens if there are some errors in the .mdl, such as when I tried adding lights to my model. :(
