HELP with a model, can't load but someone did it

The model named "Church"......someone commented it to be really good, but i can't load it in the editor! I tried to save and restart but nothing. The thing i miss is the path I must enter in its string. Someone who already got the model in, could please tell me which path i must type in the editor to get the model loaded? THX

Did you consider looking on the page you downloaded it from? Especially at the section which says something about skins? And did you then consider looking at the paths of those skins?
#3
Yeah, forgot to tell this: Apparently, there is NO .mdx path, every path is a .blp path, and i got church.mdx. I tried to type paths .blp displayed in the download page(those bold typed), saved and restarted the editor but nothing. Someone commented that was a great model. I need then, to know how to import it correctly by people who already did it. Which path i must enter then? THX

Hmm... How to say this easily

Unless you are using a model that has pre-built in attachments, there is NO SUCH THING AS A PROPER MDX PATH

Hence, the skins are the issue. Make sure THEY are at the right path

Here are the skins:
Skin 1: Textures\NorthrendStructures.blp
Skin 2: TerrainArt\LordaeronSummer\Lords_Grass.blp
Skin 3: Abilities\Weapons\FireBallMissile\Dust6ColorRed.blp
Skin 4: buildings\Human\AltarOfKings\AltarOfKings.blp
Skin 5:
Textures\Church.blp

The first and the last are typed in bolt. The only skin i got is the last one. That one and the .mdx one, nothing else. What it means? This is not the first time I'm facing problems with model importing. There are models i can import, yeah, but there are even models i CANNOT import(such as this one). How did someone use this? That's what I would know. :(

Import the last skin to Textures\Church.blp and it should work

The script bugged up with the top one, which is just a skin that's already ingame
#7
What if that .blp file is a curch.blp and not a Church.blp? The entire file is named "curch"(also .blp and .mdx files are "curch")

Do I have to change paths with "curch"?
Already tried to import last skin to "Textures\Church.blp".....nothing. That's why i'm asking this.

You import it to whatever it says, I just spell incorrectly

And if it doesn't work, then the model is bugged and doesn't work. Boom, end of story, nothing you can do

No difference between capital and lower case on Windows, though there might be on some other OS's

It says import the skin to Textures\Church.blp, hence you import the skin to Textures\Church.blp or textures\church.blp or whatever. Then save and reload and boom, it should work unless it is bugged
