Dont double post.

well keep reimporting and restart WE everytime..some of my models r like that and it takes ages to get them to show.
#5
Werewulf ok but why must i do that? Can't anyone fix them so you don't need to reimport them. But i'll try
#6
thats becuase the editor is findin it hard to find the models data..a fualt where i do not know...
i dotn know, just keep tryin..maybe u will get it.

oh...oh oh oh..hm..iv seen that b4..im not sure...
redl the model..its info in mdl may be screwed...
#9
So you mean i have to redl all files I got that problem with? (cuz, many have the same prob) :cry:
#10
im not 100% sure, but keep trying, redl and if thats not the prob, create a new map or reimport and if u give up on them..well...u giveup.
#11
Did you make sure to import it properly, with the right paths and everything?
#12
Mecheon,yes i did i imported all maps i wanted to import and i know i dont forgot anyone. But i got confused when i can see the model clearly in WE but not in the game. I mean if something was wrong or something with the file it shouldnt be showed in WE?

Problem

Ok I have a slightly bigger problem than yours... I open up this one map, and nearly NONE of the preset units (Like the knight and so on) have models... They're like that shadow... I checked and they all had the correct preset model data that they're supposed to have... I can't fix it!! I've been working on this map for weeks too :cry: Anyone have any idea why all the blizzard preset units aren't working?

Yeah I tried importing the Ragnaros model from this site to see what it looks like in the editor and game if you play around with it, but it says model not found when I try to apply it after importing, saving, exiting, etc etc.

Tried messing around with all different things, but it won't find the model. Then I imported another model that I downloaded and it works completely fine.

Well, what it ended up being was the CUSTOM PATHS in the import. There wasn't a folder in the path name or something like that. Play with the path settings there and see what happens.

Your textures probably are in the wrong path, and the editor is able to see them but not the game. Had an issue like that with icons once. The disabled buttons weren't being found so when you use a spell it'd flash green.
