How to add in-game textures to a model in magos?

[MasterWarlord]

99% of models I have worked on have used strictly imported textures so far. How do I add an in-game texture? In magos, the import button only lets me add these other textures. If I want to use an in-game texture, I don't know how to dig it up due to everything having changed.

I don't even need to see the texture within Magos, I just want to know how I can make it start using textures, because I can't tell it to add these filepaths such as Textures/Dust3x.blp etc. Very frustrating.

Open the MPQ Browser, select an mpq, then locate and texture and right click > Use as texture, it will be added to the unit's texture

Edit: unless you're talking about reforged models

Where do I find my Warcraft 3 mpqs with the current version of WC3?

Ah yeah that was the issue, you'd probably need to grab them from an older version of the game and place them in the Model Editor's directory

I don't know how to get the MPQ from older files and there aren't tutorials around for that and have long since given up on it.

I don't even need to see the files. All I really want is to add textures into the texture manager with any filename I want, regardless of whether or not it can currently be displayed in magos, since it will show up in WC3 anyway. Is there any program that would let me do this?

Well you do need to see the files from the mpq in order to add them, at least that's how Magos works

You just need to install an older version of WC3 that still uses .mpqs, like 1.29, and they will be in the game directory. There's a thread about old versions download on the Hive
