Problems with model imports

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

I have DL'ed anemicroyalty's Draenei paladin model from the following link: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=90568. I renamed the path on the .mdx and .blp to remove the wc3mapsimported\. But I still only see a shadow when I try to import the model and use it. Two other models that had no .blp skin were imported perfectly fine as well as a skin. I have a feeling the file extension is wrong. Any suggestions.

Thanks ahead of time.

I'm betting you forgot to save first. Even if you save later, the model seems to not show up in some cases (?).

Try pushin the test map button as well to check if it pops up in game

The problem I'm talking about occurs in game. I'm aware that imported models don't show up in the editor. Problem is that the model just shows a shadow. If you look at anemicroyalty's files, they do not have consistent names (DraneiPaladin.mdx, Dranei_Portrait.mdx, Dranei Paladin.blp). That is why I think its uploading the model but not the skin, or anything else.

I've downloaded the same model and I ain't getting any problems with it, the model & the portrait model work just fine. Although I've experienced a similar problem with other models as well. I import the model, change the path in the import manager as they should be, save, quit worldedit and then reload. Well with some models I get a worldedit message displaying "can't load xxx.mdl" or "can't load xxx.mdx", I'm not sure why this is happening, and to be honest I don't make that much of a fuss, pick another model and move on... anyway, try downloading the model again, and reinstalling it. That helped me... once. Otherwise I'm running out of ideas

Check the mdl file and make sure you have the right path for the skin.
