mdx is just the extension you put. Game reads it as .m2

So if your model is
`creature\lavasnail\lavasnail.m2`
You'd put it in dbc as
`creature\lavasnail\lavasnail.mdx`

Is there an easy way to convert an .fbx to .m2/.mdx?

alright. I will try and work that next. Do you think using an existing CreatureModelData entry could be what is destroying the texture of creatures or would that be from something else like a wrong texture file path overwrite?

Is there a specific folder path that I need to follow for the .mdx model in the patch? (eg. Models/Creature)

Where ever the model you're accessing is located. Match its path. If you're adding a custom one, folder structure isn't super important so long as things match in the dbc. Just do what other similar models do for the most part
