Applying Skins

[Team-vFF]

Im sure that this question has been asked many many times in the past, but how do I apply skins and icons and etc that I have downloaded...

It's very simple. Just import the file and change right click on it, click Modify File Properties, change the file path to what its supposed to be (eg. Textures\HeroDemonHunter.blp).

EDIT: You have to restart the Editor to see the skin on the unit.

Maybe you could ask nicely I'm only trying to help.

Usually the file path is included in a readme file or, on this site, on the screen with the link to download it. If it isn't included then you have to get Warcraft 3 Viewer or Wc3 Image Extractor and find the file path of the original skin, or you can use WinMPQ to find the path, although thats much more annoying.

@PyRoBoArDer_5: I don't know about any programs for importing files, but if that program doesn't work you have to do it manually, just refer back to my first post.

EDIT: Sorry PyRoBoArDer_5, I didn't read your post properly. To import a file go into the World Editor, click Import Manager (the arrow going into a piece of paper icon on the toolbar) and click Import File. Then refer back to my original post for the next step.

wat i dont get is the files are in my import manager, but when i go to object editor it says there are still no proper import files.

 

[oz02]

Did you put in the proper file path? Is the file a blp?

hey i have a similar question to all of this while we are on the subject. I get how to import skins, but the problem is I dont get how to do models and stuff. I guess one thing I could say to give u an example of what im talking about, is im trying to get the goblin tinker thing to work. I know how to import the stuff from the download itself, however, i have no idea what paths to change the stuff to to get all the skins and models to work.

skin

i restarted the WE and the unit was a green checkerbox. then i tried to play the map and only got a shadow. what did i do wrong?

 

[Ghost_Of_Monk]

the problem im having is that i cant seem to get the mdl to mdx. i keep getting the wrong path or something.

 

[firefox33]

my modles turn out mdl but they still work so kdl is fine doesnt need to be mdx

 

[Ghost_Of_Monk]

im reposting a new question. how do iapply the skins? i have the right path with the imported files, but when i go under art - model, it only lets me put mdx files.

omg... you dont need to add the model, you just save, then reboot WE and it will apply the skin to the model of the skin u edited :lol:
