[Solved] How to Import Custom Skin +rep!

[SunTzu7387]

I cant figure out how to import this and how to make it actually work in game http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/blackrock-grunt-121575/?prev=c%3D1%26t%3D1%26r%3D20%26d%3Dlist%26status%3Da%26page%3D4 custom skin can anybody help me?

1. Open your map.
2. Import skin into map.
3. Change path of skin file to "Textures\BlackrockGrunt.blp".
4. Save map.
5. Close editor.
6. Reopen the map.
7. Test map.

Both 6 and 7 should now show the skin. Be aware that unless you are playing WC3 at the highest visual settings it is possible for skins not to show.

ok i changed the BlackrockGrunt.blp (Image/Texture) path to "Textures/BlackrockGrunt.blp" the BlackrockGrunt.mdx (model) path to war3mapImported/BlackrockGrunt.mdx and the BlackrockGrunt_Portrait.mdx (model) to war3mapImported/BlackrockGrunt_Portrait.mdx.

in the unit i wanted to add to i put the war3mapImported/BlackrockGrunt.mdl file in the Art- Model file

I cant find the Art-Portrait file to put the portrait and I dont know where to attatch the war3mapImported/BlackrockGrunt.mdx path.

Sorry for not being very clear. you will get another +rep if you help me with this.

Just change texture path to: Textures\BlackrockGrunt.blp
Check pictures.

yes kobas I did that and successfuly imported it +rep. the only problem for me now is how to attach these to a unit. How do you attach all three paths to a unit and what art do you have to change to make it possible like you just did in the thumbnails?

Just change model path of some unit into model imported, portrait will be attached by default, and skin as well.
