Can anyone help me with this? I'm having trouble getting the models from the TFT beta pack into the game (or editor for that matter). See, currently I'm trying to get the Beta Human Destroyer model in but it isn't working, Can anyone help?

BTW, the path I'm currently using is "Units\Creeps\Destroyer\HumanDestroyerShip.mdx". The model and texture are in the folders coresponding to the path

Ok try this guide

Step 1: load up Warcraft 3 TFT editor, go to module import manager
Step 2: go to file, import file, get your model
Step 3: double click the model give it this path Units\<model>.mdx
Step 4: go to module, object editor. Select a unit, go to his art model file, change it to custom file and select the imported model
Step 5: Place him on the map, should be a cube for now, go to top right file, testp map

Should work tell me if i helped or not

Didn't work so far:bgrun: Can you give me a few more spesifec about the path, as I said I'm trying to get the beta human destroyer in. Also i wasn't clear if the texture path should be the same as the model path or textures\.

*Edit* Never mind I figured it out, thanks again.

Thanks for the path Cookie, but I was actually looking for the Human Destroyer not Battleship.

I probably should have asked this in the above post, but which folders should the model folders be in? I'd assume Units\"race folder"\"model folder" but i wouldn't know

Lol, sorry, I thought I checked the correct model out (I never catogorise them correctly so).

Anyways to make it simple for you:

Models are usually not bound to a certain path; it just makes the modder's life easier to work to have a set path. So basically you can fling the model anywhere you want, as long as the skinpath is correctly set
