Several Skins

[gengar]

Hi, I want to know:
Is there any way how can I use several skins for one model ?
( for example: I have an Knight model, i need to import new skin for it, but I also need model with the old standard skin )
Can I prevent importing the model with changed texture pathes?
(Yes, I readt "texture importing" tutorial)

Thanks for answers
+rep for help !

I'm not sure about this but i think each skin that you import overwrites the default textures of a model, so you can only have 1 at a time.

You can only have one skin attached to a model, once you import a skin and set it to the path of that model, it will overwrite any exciting default skin.

BUT you can do it on another way:

1. Extract the model from wc3 using wc3 extractor (somewhere in tool section)
2. Download the texture path changer (tool section)
3. change the texture path of the extracted model to a new path
4. Import the extracted model and the new texture.

That would double the used size but you could have the same model with different skins :/

Can I prevent importing the model with changed texture pathes?

^^^ I'm asking if can I have more models with different skins, but import it only ONCE to the game ?! something like ingame texture path change, doesn't that exist ?
Thats my question. I know that I can import them more times, but that makes the map bigger, thats not economic to import whole model because of few changed lines in texture pathes

umm sounds interesting, ill take a look on trees and their texture pathes, and check if we can't do that with units, buildings e.t.c.
