so basically, every time i convert my xmodels, it exports the correct "xmodels" folder located in "raw", but then when i try to select my newly created xmodel in asset manager it gives me this error, which confuses me because one i dont see that directory and secondly because it is in the correct folder. please help

I store imported models in model_export, then convert them in assman, which makes the model in raw/xmodel, not sure if you're saying you're storing the unconverted ones in raw?

its directing you to the wrong location

mine was doing this a while ago, trying to think why?

did you type or copy the name into the box? If so it might be missing the file path and defaulting. Make sure you click the 3 little dots button beside it and navigate to the file

they should really be in

root/model_export

as for the rest

root/sound_assets
root/xanim_export
root/texture_export

although you can have them anywhere, just needs to be a folder in your root
