Customizing Warcraft in-game units?

[Stefan.K]

So i was replacing the existing in-game units with the custom ones(I replaced them by making the folders in the Warcraft destination, not in the MPQ), but there is one problem. When I wanted to replace HeroLich/Kel'thuzad it doesn't work. In world editor everything seems fine, the custom model shows instead of the original Lich but when I test it in game it is still the original model. Hope someone can help me with this one.

I think you should try this:
1.Go to Object Editor
2.Go to the Lich Unit
3.Find "Art - Model File - Extra Versions"
4.Check Reign of Chaos and uncheck The Frozen Throne

I hope this helped

Hm, you got me wrong. I am replacing them in-game, so whenever I summon the Lich hero the custom hero that i wanted will show up. The other units are working but not the Lich, oh and mountainking did not work either.

The file should overwrite the one in War3x.MPQ, namely HeroLich_V1.mdx

I did that too. The cinematic Lich is overwrited but it doesn't work until I switch it to the roc version.
