how do i put custom skin on my custom model

[JarrardKO]

I'm been trying to do it but I don't know where to go and what to do. Does anyone know how I can put my custom skins on a custom model?

You just rename your skin to the same name as the original model skin. This only works if the custom model have a skin already and your skin regions matches the original. Otherwise, you will have to unwrap with a modelling program.

I don't understand what you're trying to say, sorry. What I want to do is have a custom model of a footman have a custom skin, while the original footman skin stays the stays the same.

Convert the model to mdl.

Open it in notepad.

Find in the headers under the anims..this is a example from my garr model. (there is spaces, but the jass code tag isnt working there is no spaces on the forums.)

}
Textures 1 {
Bitmap {
Image "textures\GeneralGarr.blp",
}
}

blah blah...
just change the path to something like this (or to whatever you want to name the skin along with the model) the path doesnt need the "Texures/" crap not unless you want to change it so it uses an ingame skin.:

Textures 1 {
Bitmap {
Image "FireWarrior",
}
}

Then save, convert back to mdx and import the model along with its skin and use the path you did in the mdl and put it in the skin path when you import.
