Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Object Importer

when i click load to load a texture for referencing, and select it in the
file its in, the importer crashes. but if i type it in in the bar at the
bottom of that window, it will work fine. when i try to select the texture
reference from the edit static model settings box, it appears blank. i have
to put the textures into the regular textures window, select them in the
statics settings box, then delete them from the regular textures window in
order for it to work.

thanks for any help,
