[BloodElf53]

Help! I made a skin of a necromancer with a purple beard in THE GIMP and then used WC3 Viewer v2.3b and use the "Associate MDX and BLP files after putting the skin on. Then I imported the skin in to the WE but the skin didn't show! Please help me am I using the worng program or something?

In Warcraft III Viewer use the Convert File to blp option. Not the associate with MDX thing.

But I'm attaching the .blp file (the skin) to a model so shouldn't I use the associate with MDX thing? And I don't see how turning my .MDX file in to a .blp file would do for me.

Ok

I was wondering something that you might know... Is the possible to change the menus of Warcraft without destroying the entire warcraft? I mean only change menus in "IN MY OWN MAP"?

Do you know if it's possible?

1. I have no clue.
2. Can you please make your own topic for this? It's a bit off topic.

Now I tried the Tech Knight skin (becuase I know it works for some people.) I used the associate .MDX and .BLP, then I exported the .MDX file and put the skin and
the .MDX file on my desktop. I imported the .MDX and the .BLP files to my map, restarted WE and put the model on a peasant, but the skin on the tech knight didn't show up! It was just the normal arthas with forstmourn! The paths I used was:

TechKnight.blp
TechKnight.mdx (the model)
BeamBlade.blp

What did I do wrong? Can someone please tell me?

P.S. As soon as I get skins to work I'll be able to put my work up!

@BloodElf35: Don't use the associate option! If you're importing a downloaded file than just read the FAQ on how to import the file. If you're creating your own skin, if it's not in BLP use the Convert file option to convert it to BLP and then read the FAQ to know how to import it. Don't use the Associate option!

I know about how I need a skin to be a .blp file. Right now I'm using the skin from this model:
http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Models&ID=185&sid=7bad127a04361da62c0ec09642214982
So what should I do? The skin is already a .blp file.
and I know how to import things.

Just import the model and skins reglarilly like you would do for any model and skins. If you need help importing a model try reading Darky27's tutorial on importing models (Tutorial page).
