Help Importing

[Couchking]

I downloaded the Storm Totem in the models section and properly imported it. It gives it the automatic path of

war3mapImported\StormTotem.mdx

Which is fine, it should work.

Now, when I go to assign the model to a unit, it lets me select war3mapImported\StormTotem.mdx
no problem, yet when I accept, the path displayed in the box is

war3mapImported\StormTotem.mdl

Somehow it is changing it to .mdl, when i reopen it, the .mdx is still selectable under .mdx, yet the Custom section displays the .mdl and even if I repick the .mdx or change it in the Custom section, it always falls back to .mdl once accepted.

How do I get this into my map?! Tried changing the custom filepath in the Import tab, but it still doesn't work.

It's supposed to change to mdl.
just get the right path >.> and it'll be alright.

Not very helpful

If it's supposed to change to .mdl, then why does my model and path end in .mdx?

why do you care anyway? Just type the right path, which is:
StormTotem.mdl

EDIT: Then restart the editor, because when you import a model, the editor doesn't load it. But when you restart it(the hole editor, not just reopen the map), it will load and you will see it.

It would be helpfull if you knew what you were talking about ...
there are tons of tutorials about this. It's excually very hard to miss them >.>

actually in the import manager it should stay .mdx
