Hey

Yo guys. I'm new here and I wanted to ask about skins. Are they for Warcraft menu display or for units? I'd be thankfull for your help.

1. I dont understand the question much. I think you mean what are skins for? Skins are for units that already exist in warcraft. So it is just a wrapping around them, making them look different on the outside ( a different skin) You just put in the existing unit path. (Example, its a skin for a grunt it would be units/orc/grunt.blp well, not exaclty, but paths are provided with the skin.)

2. you have posted this in the wrong section, and this thread should be moved to Texturing and surfaces.

Also, you may want to introduce yourself to the hive here:

Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.

The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

• A few other tips that might help too:
  • Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
  • When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
  • Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
  • If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.
