Ok :D

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?

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!
