Importing Models

Ok so, here's what I'm doing. I've got a skin for an orc shaman I want to use in my map, but I also want to use the normal orc shaman skin in the map also, so I can't replace the normal shaman skin. So I made another model that is an exact copy of the normal shaman except that it has my skin on it (in case you were wondering I followed Draco's Tutorial - Using more than one skin on the "same model" (Importing a copy model) thread). But for some reson when I imported it it didn't show up in the game. Anybody got any ideas why it won't? And don't call me a stupid n00b, I already know that...

Thanks all

hmm, maybe you forgot something in the mdl path or you didn't saved the map and restarted WE, post your mdl here plz.

Ok here's the file for the model

I only did what the tutorial thing said so really I have no idea what I'm doing, this is my first model import, but you have to start somewhere...

I know I saved before I tested, so that can't be the problem.

it must be an importing problem, besure that importing at we you setted correct path of the texture (in your case: Textures\StormEarthFireShaman.blp) and to save your map with the model, then close World Editor, restart WE and open your map.

In recent times ive been having trouble importing models aswell. I used to import them all the time, and the usually work, but lately they having been showing up in the W/E. Ive changed the paths and all that and got both the .mdx and .blp imported aswell, and saved, closed W/E, then re-opened, but still nothing. Im gonna add the .mdx and .blp and .mdl so people can try and se if it works for them. Its just a basic fence.....and yes il get round to getting a new texture.


umm, on my computer the file sizes are a lot bigger than when they have been uploaded...is that normal?
