Import Models

How do you know what to make the custom path to when assigning models to units and how do you know which file to put with which thing to put it with (model or icon)????
I tried the tutorial with the Goblin thing... but it was password protected so I couldn't extract the files.

That one? You dont need to download the file to learn how to import models, the tutorial alone should be enough. As for a filepath, you choose what path you want the model to be in when uploading. And when your assigning a unit to the model, under Art - Model, just click the custom buttom and type in the filepath you used when importing.

models dont use paths buddy, they just tell you to put a model path either to force you to remember they made it or to organize things

skins need to match what the model uses
(ex. footman uses the footman skin, but it goes under units/humans/footman/footman.blp)

icons... you need to import it and apply the filepath (do search, go figure), and choose it like everyother icon, cept under imported files

Actually I wasn't referring directly to the models, you'll notice I said that he chooses, meaning that the filepath for models is irrelevant, all you did is confirm exactly what I said, by saying models dont use paths.

I was actually referring to the skins, sorry for not saying so. The skins need to be in the appropriate filepath, becuase models are set to use skins under a specific filepath, so when uploading models AND skins, models can be under any filepath while the skin needs to be in a specific path for the model to use it. Hope that clears it up.
