Many models also have separate portrait model files that accompany them. To get Warcraft III Viewer, click here.Ħ. Another easy way to detect the path file is getting Warcraft III Viewer, and viewing the textures used by going to Current File | Show Used Texture Names (CTRL + I). Otherwise, you may simply use this program to easily detect the path. If you cannot find the correct path, seek help from a modeler - any person with even a beginner-level understanding of MDL editing could tell you the correct paths by opening the model in some third-party tools that they should have. This information is part of the model and cannot be changed without editing the model.ĥ. Keep in mind that some models require multiple skins with different custom paths.

If you can't find the path for the skin, common locations are either no directory which, for our model's skin would read Mountaineer.blp or sometimes they are placed into the Textures directory, which would read Textures\Mountaineer.blp, but since this path has no directory, it will stay at Mountaineer.blp. Models without skins usually will not appear in the editor or the game or may cause the editor to crash. If you don't know this path (most people post the skin's path with the model when they upload it to sites), you will need to find out what it is before proceeding.Ĥ.
The proper custom path for a model's skin is embedded in the model itself. However, as said before, you must change the path of it. You can import the skin in the same fashion as you did for the model above.
Most models will require that you also import the skin that goes with the model. If you want your model to replace a model that already exists in the game, you need to make sure that your model has the same custom path as the model it is replacing.ģ. If the model does not have any textures with it, then it is most likely using in-game textures, so you do not have to worry about it.Ģ. Those will have specific paths that you need to set.
The item of concern (in terms of changing the path) is the texture file. This is the default address that models are imported into, and you can usually just leave it as it is. Beneath it your file should say "war3mapImported\Mountaineer.mdx". To the right of the area where it says "File Name", there should be something that says "Full Path". This means that the files have been imported, but you are not yet finished, because you need to set the files up correctly before you can use them.ġ. Your file(s) should now appear in the Import Manager window list along with the details of its file type, size, and location.
Setting up the Imported Model, Skins, and Portraits: Press the button that reads *Ok* or double click the file. If you chose to import multiple files, you only need to browse to the directory level. When you choose one of the choices, the Editor will open a window to allow you to browse to your file(s).ģ. If you want to import multiple files at once, select Import Files. You can also get this option from the File menu of the Import Manager. Right-click anywhere on the empty white space and select Import File. You can open this in one of three different ways: click the icon is on the toolbar of the main (terrain) editor (two papers with a green arrow), use the hotkey (F12), or select it from the module menu.Ģ. In the World Editor, open the Import Manager.
