Difference Between

[YukonMeteora]

ive been working with a map im making
(Spanish Vs Aztecs)
and now i need some skins but i have
2 problems
1.whats the difference between a model
and a skin or does it matter(i need animal skins/models and spanish skins/models)
2.how do i download skins and models off Hive and use them in Editor??

1: A skin is the texture that wraps around a model. The skin overwrites the texture for an existing model in the game. A model contains the model and the skin, and doesn't overwrite anything.
2: The import editor. You simply download the model/skin, then import them into the import editor. Here is a tutorial on how to import custom models.

I want to add 1 one thing that graystuff said (he explained it really good): A model can already have the skin in it so you'll have to import the model only but model sometimes need a skin which comes with the model when you download it (see the readme for the path of the skin).

And YukonMeteora, when you have imported a model, restart World Editor, otherwise you can't use it. And one more thing, don't change the path of models exept (very few models need this) if it stands it the readme.
