ʞııɥs: Please excuse me for taking so long to tell you this, I've been rather busy. Either way, I feel there is not enough change done for this to be useful. I mean, it's basically just an arrow with some red and white details that won't even be noticed in-game. Maybe if you changed it to a different material other than wood it would look different enough to be useful.

ʞııɥs: Take a screen capture of it using MAGOS' Model Viewer or WC3Viewer, like this we can't actually see the arrow.

PS - Somehow the skin preview bugs and stacks old and new skin don´t know why but it works properly in-game atleast when I tested it.

 

[Baelnorn]

Hm, I never paid attention to appearance of arrows, but ofc it can be useful.

 

[stonneash]

it seems nice i give it 4\5 coz something attracts me to it
things may help this approved:
1.better screenshot
2.have u edited the channles??
get the metal top alittle more sharper,and i think u made a good job on the wood

 

[Remixer]

Well problem is that I do not know how to take screenshot and import custom skin to a model with Wc3 viewer if you could help me with it I would be glad. Also I am abit newbie with channels and other things like that just like doing shit with Gimp 2 and thanks!

 

[stonneash]

1.export the skin and the model (the model that use the skin)
2.edit the blp
3.put the model and the blp both in the same folder
4.open the mdx pather (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/mdx-pather-62978/)
5.remove the path
example:
units\nerubian\stonneash\stonneash.blp
remove the red part
6.save
7.open it with the w3viewer and take ur screeny without shadow(render > shadow)un check this>
enjoy

I did not undestand it :/ How do I export models and textures I am newbie like i said

 

[stonneash]

here is a more detailed tut


step by step

step 1:

open the Warcraft 3 viewer
open the mpq{file>open mpq}
go to warcraft 3 installation folder and select one of these:
war3.mpq
war3x.mpq
there will be on the side window on its top:
.mdx .blp .hard drive
click the point on the side of the word(mdx)
there will be something like(|+| d:\adasd\gdftf....)) under it
click on the |+| icon
u will get many other ones
search for the model u like by browsing
right click on it and select (show required animation names(i think))
u will get a pop up
if ur model is paladin u will get something like that:
textures\star8x8
textures\blaaa
units\human\paladin\paladin.blp
or some times textures\paladin
copy this to a paper or a sticky note or notepad
close the pop up and right click the model again and press(extract mdx)
select were u extract it,i suggest extracting it on its on folder
then click on the point on the side of the word blp
follow the path(units\human....)
right click on it a select(extarct BLP (and convert)(i think its called like this)
extract it to the same folder
example:
c:\my custom thingys\paladin\plaladin.mdx
c:\my custom thingys\paladin\plaladin.blp
now u finished step one

step 2

edit the blp
i think u now how to do that
and then convert it to a blp again

step 3

open the mdx pather (link above)
remove the path
example:
units\nerubian\stonneash\stonneash.blp
remove the red part
save
open it(the mdx) with the w3viewer and enjoy taking ur screenys i suggest taking then without shadow(render > shadow)uncheck this>
enjoy

[stonneash]

update it (with the better screeny)and wait for approval, coz i vote for approval

 

[Gen Bloodhorn]

for a long time at last a new skin

 

[stonneash]

I suggest making the pink band on the arrow red,and renaming it to blood elf arrow,
and fixing the wood

 

[Remixer]

What pink part you mean and I will add more shading to it. Just now can not cause I am not at home.

 

[stonneash]

the band on the arrow is pink,change it to red

 

[In Motion]

Nice, good skin for model replacement.

[Remixer]

[stonneash]

Don't mind me, I'm just time traveling. You could theorically use the archer own texture and turn into it unique projectile model.

Although you could make bigger head for those arrow.
