Well i tried it out and its working fine for me, i know this is pretty much said in all the skinning tutorials but ill list exactly the actions i took:
  • Downloaded the Skin
  • Opened my map, then opened the "import manager".
  • Clicked "import file" and imported the skin (Arthas.blp)
  • Opened it inside the import manager and clicked "Use custom path"
  • Typed "Textures\Arthas.blp" exactly and clicked ok, then i saved the map and quit completely.
  • Re-opened it up, opened up the "Units Pallete" and placed hero (from the "campaign" section) "Arthas" and hero "Arthas Wielding Frostmourne"
Both units had the new skin, i dont know if this is exactly what you did, but if it is then im sorry i couldnt help and Good Luck

Gah this sucks. Something about the skin happened to me that is sad :(. I uninstalled WC3 a long time ago, but i recently reinstalled it again to play it. The time has come for my fav skin to be put into a map, so i go into skins, and spend 30 min looking for the arthas skin (the one i was talken about previously) but i couldent find it. So then I remembered this post I made, so I checked the link, and it says: "This resource is ignored, so you are not allowed to see it". Does that mean that the skin was removed?

Indeed: that texture file has been ignored and may not be downloaded.

However, it you want it for personal use (DO NOT upload it to the resource section or to other sites please) I have temporarily placed it into a pastebin.

Pastebin expired
~Link removed
