Do I need Photoshop to use World editor, and if not why can't i use skins on my world editor?

What the hell are you on about?

If I read correctly:
No, you don't need photoshop to be able to use world editor.
If you make a picture and you want to use it as a skin, you need to transfer it to a model file correctly.

(Sorry, but this is just a stupid question)

... I have to agree what kind of question is that? Photoshop is meant to EDIT skin not to use it... If you ever read on HOW TO IMPORT SKIN in world editor then you wouldn't be asking this question.

(If it's a model)
-Import all the files that came inside the folder you've downloaded or whatever.
-Change the path of the .BLP files just by removing war3mapimported\.

(If it's a skin only)

-Read the instructions on the path you need to take, for it to work then base the model off of that skin path.

Well why don't you tell us specifically what your importing...

 

[Tau Empire]

I think I get his problem, he edited a skin, but I think he messed up the UV-wraping so it won't work in World Editor, it's a guess.

 

[Orc-of-Azeroth]

No not that, i did nothing tot he skins, i dled them, exported and added the right path, and they just messed up my world editor, i cant save or test maps any more!

yeah wat i got are 2 custom grunt models, dragonmaw grunt, i am on a different comp right now so i cant remember them all, i have sykos knight, all these skins are approved. i dunno i have like 4 models dled, 8 or so skins, oh btw they wuldnt dl on my other comp im using on them, i dunno why

 

[Destroyer25]

What is the model, or texture that you have imported?

 

[Tau Empire]

Well then why the hell do you need Photoshop? Photoshop has nothing to do with World Editor AT ALL!

[Tau Empire]

Well here's your answer: no you don't need photoshop, what you need to do is probably reinstall WC3 for the editor to work.

 

[Orc-of-Azeroth]

[n00byn4t3r]

Post the model here, and i will test it in one of my maps.

 

[Orc-of-Azeroth]

Sand Troll
Blackrock Grunt (model)

See if you have the latest patch.

Try creating another map and saving.. I suspect that your map you've been working on has gotten corrupted for whatever reason (can be anything)

 

[Orc-of-Azeroth]

Ive patched it, but! i dont have umswe... does that change anything? (warning, ima noobie at world editor, this is my first map so im clueless about everything)

Well, honestly, if it's your first map...

I suggest you learn about World Editor, play around with the trigger instead of Importing different kind of skins and models.

[Orc-of-Azeroth]

Hello there, I just noticed you mentioned Dragonmaw Grunt- and afaik there's only one skin on the hive with that name, and it's mine (although I submitted it a long time ago, and I was still known as Goliath the God, and/or Dragonskull, here).

I just wanted to say thanks for having interest in it! Oh, and if this isn't solved yet (I didn't read all the posts) then just pop me a PM and I'll try to solve it for you.
