Dryad Portrait

[FireEffect]

I reskined the dryad into a centaur but it doesnt seem to change the portrait. What is the problem with this?

 

[NhazUl]

You must reskin the portrait file too.

 

[camel's_hump]

The expansion model uses a different path than ROC's portrait model. This means you'll have to import the skin twice.

I have the same problem...

I have the same problem but with the "Chaos Grunt" unit. The new skin wont show, and I've replaced the path so its the same but with a new skin... How come it wont change to the new skin that I've made? (The path is right.)

 

[camel's_hump]

Read my post right above yours, seriously I just answered this.

 

[MapHeist]

Sorry, but I didn't really understand what you meant... Shall I import it first, then delete it and import it again?

 

[camel's_hump]

No, the expansion dryad model, which is what you are using I assume, uses a different texture than the RoC portrait model which the expansion model uses. So you have to either import the texture for both the RoC and TFT version or switch it to use the RoC dryad model and just import the RoC path.

Its still not working The Chaos Grunt unit is a RoC model and there's no update for it in TFT.

My problem... The Chaos Grunt seems impossible to change skins on!! I add the new skin with the same path as the original chaos grunt but the old skin is the only that appear...

1. I have the correct path... Checked that 100 times now.

2. I've tried to change the path to Textures\ChaosGrunt.blp, and it didn't work.

3. I've imported it, saved and closed the editor, restarded it and nothing happens.

4. I've searched for the path in the "Warcraft 3 Viewer" but the path it says (Textures\ChaosGrunt.blp) doesn't work.

Why does this happen? I've made a new skin to "Medivh" and it works perfectly but this just wont work out for me... Please help!

 

[camel's_hump]

Take a picture of what you have the path as in the editor, I bet you've probably done something wrong.

 

[MapHeist]

Here's the shot:

 

[camel's_hump]

Well the path is Textures\ChaosGrunt.blp so that is why it doesn't work. You said you used Textures\ChaosGrunt.blp before, so why don't you have it in now? Try it again.

 

[MapHeist]

I tried it again and it wont work It says "Can not find/locate...".

I really appreciate your help friend and I understand if you have had it now :S

 

[camel's_hump]

Wait, when does it say Can not find/locate? Take a picture.

No problem, I'm here to help.

 

[MapHeist]

I said wrong, sorry, it was "Could not load file". Here's the picture (I made a link because I dont know really how to make the picture in right size for the forum)

I don't think that should happen unless you imported a custom model. It may be you need to fix your skin's alpha, you can do that by just copying the skin into another image file and saving and converting again.

 

[MapHeist]

I tried your idea but still it doesn't work Could you try to just change skin on a Chaos Grunt yourself? It wont work for me to reskin that unit :S

 

[MapHeist]

Did you try it? If so, did it work well for you?

 

[camel's_hump]

No I have not. I do not have the time to do so.

 

[MapHeist]

Sorry for keep asking but I just dont get it Is it something wrong with the Chaos Grunt? Every other skins I make works, but when I change skin to the chaos grunt it wont show and such...

Someone having a similar problem?

 

[FireEffect]

First thing, dont revive month old threads, second thing, try the normal grunt.

 

[Technomancer]

I probably shouldn't post in this topic or whatever, but make sure you have the proper model path for the chaos grunt. In the import manager, set the path of the skin to Textures\ChaosGrunt.blp, and for the model path in the unit editor, either scroll down to the right model, or set the path to units\demon\ChaosGrunt\ChaosGrunt.mdl.

Try this, because I'm pretty sure in your screenshot, you're changing the model path to textures\ChaosGrunt instead of the TEXTURE path.

ahem, *cough* kirby actually looks more like this <("<) <( " )> (>")> is kirby is wut ur sig is supposed to be ><

 

[WerBackIII]

STOP IT!!!


Man, just start Wc3 and then it will show properly!

 

[camel's_hump]

I cleaned the thread.

The path of the model doesn't matter at all. Only if you import a portrait model separate does the name matter.

 

[Guessed]

The model path does matter if you have it wrong. It says "Cannot load Textures\ChaosGrunt.mdl" in that last screenshot. That is not the the correct path to the chaos grunt model, like Technomancer says.
