Holy Crap!!!

um i tried the tut, but it wont show up in game. i used the model (marine). so i can make a fun little map of Dawn of war, and i tried to attach my model of an imperial bolter to the right hand of my guy. so i imported and wanted to give it to him via picking up an item....it didnt work. maybe because i did the ability one and the item one. if so is that the problem?:confused:

you can remove the team color but not the hero glow, but you won't be able to see that in-game

Sorry for the Double Post - But one other problem I'm having - and wonder if you have a cure. I just want to remove the Axe and not add a new weapon (maybe I'll eventually add a tome (as i'm making a Dwarf paladin). However, After erasing the Axe (which works beautifully), i still get the Axe outline of the Hero Glow in game...

Thanks again.

I was very frustrated because I wasn't able to see the sword I was trying to implement in the editor. Then, I read what you had written and I was relieved. ^^ Excellent tutorial, covers all possible needs.

Finding the Textures

Hi, I've only gotten as far as opening WC3 Image extractor, and in the tutorial it doesn't describe further what you do when you've opened that program. I don't know where to go to open the textures.

I tried the first time, and it works! OMG!
The only nagging think is that the hero will still have a bit of glow form its original weapon. Its not a complicated procedure, except from when removing the original weapon witch requires skills. Either than that everything works the first time.

I'm so surprised im gonna make an aos or maybe an rpg, cuz i just down loaded got LOTS of Attachments:

-swords, spears, bows, axes, shields, staffs, cloaks, belts, boots, gauntlets, claws, quivers, backpacks, guns, jetpacks, and yes even lighsabres!

Great tutorial, I decided I would try this simply to add weapons to units that don't have them instead, and.... It worked! Yay!
