Something tells me that the map is protected, so, it's against the rules to give you a solution. Ask the author instead, they might be generous enough to supply you with it ;p

You will need to ask the author of the model for it. He may have only given permission for it to be used in that 1 map so you could get into trouble if you use it in yours.

Anyway, it is loose in the MPQ archive of the map like all imported content and map data files.

Go to the Import Manager, right click the file you want to extract and select "Extract", by defining the output location.

Then go to the unit in the Object editor and check what model they used in the Art - Model field.

um i did that and it said import n' export... i feel like a moron 4 asking this but is export and extract the same thing

 

[Pharaoh_]

When ever i export then save a model then imput it and apply it it says could "not import war3mapimported/*** what am i doing wrong

It might be using custom textures. Each model comes with textures. If the textures are borrowed from Warcraft III itself, just the import of the model is enough to make it work. If they are custom textures, they will need to be imported for the model to be displayed. You can do this: Extract the model in one directory of yours, e.g. My Documents. Go to the Warcraft III Viewer tool and open the extracted model. Then, go to Current File -> Remap textures... and check what textures the model uses.
Go back to the map you extracted the model from, find those textures and memorize their path, e.g. Textures\BlackCloak.blp or Bump.blp (not an actual path).
