Alpha Shaman (eventual Orc Warlock)

[The_Warchief]

Been hoping someone would make this someday for a long while, great job!

When i see remake of alpha models/skins, it slighly warms my heart.

Hey, I've given this rating a thought...
For the sake of those looking for <replicated versions of> Alpha Units/Mods/Textures, could you mark it again to approve? I mean, stein123 and I here have all five stars for the ratings, and we've put much effort in recreating the original.

Your call.

@StonemaulMidget is there a way to make this into a unit model so it does not change the unit model of jj84? Warlock

Because I want to use both of them in my campaign (in the same map(s)).
This skin changes the unit model of jj84 for the Orc Warlock.

With all due respect, I'm a little confounded.
"is there a way to make this into a unit model so it does not change the unit model of jj84?"
- Do you mean changing the current in-game skin with this replicated Alpha Shaman's? There is already an import path listed above, which will replace the current skin with this custom design, if that's what you're asking.

I'm referring that if I use this skin and jj84's Orc Warlock model in unison, the Orc Warlock model also gets replaced and uses this skin as well.
So both the original unit and the custom unit by jj84 use this skin.
It doesn't only change the original unit under the Campaign/Units section but also a custom unit using jj84's Orc Warlock model.

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Swap skins for the custom unit.
Import the skin twice: first for the custom unit, and then rename the second for the original with the import path.

Skin for Custom Unit: Alpha Shaman (eventual Orc Warlock).blp
Skin for Original Unit: units\Creeps\ChaosWarlockGreen\ChaosGreenWarlock.blp

Even better, don't bother swapping skins for the Custom Unit. Instead, use the import path at the bottom of the first named skin I provided you.

So I use this for the import path of the custom unit "Alpha Shaman (eventual Orc Warlock).blp"?
Exactly as you wrote it? With spaces in between.

 

[StonemaulMidget]

I'll be clear.
In the WarCraft III World Editor, go to the Import Manager. Once there, import Alpha Shaman (eventual Orc Warlock).blp. Once you do that, rename that as units\Creeps\ChaosWarlockGreen\ChaosGreenWarlock.blp.

Try it.

Make a copy of that model, and then use mdxpather to change the texture path of that copy to the one you want to use

I will try... most likely next week! (I wish I had more time to work on my maps but it is what it is ), hopefully it will work, not because the program won't work but because it will be my first time using it

Idk how to make it work
