How to: night elf archer skin

[Wingrunner]

Greeting guys,

In my map I need to replace the default skin of the Night Elf Archer. I read the tutorials and in many skins the authors advise to use the path of the High Elf one.
The problem is: I'm already using a custom skin for the High Elf Archer so, is there an other path available or, is there any way to customize Night Elf AND High Elf Archer's skin in the same map?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Aren't the Night Elf and High Elf Archer two different models?
I mean they've got two different model paths:

units\nightelf\Archer\Archer
units\creeps\HighElfArcher\HighElfArcher

So I don't think that there is any problem like you posted.
But I haven't used a SKIN till yet, just new models

Better try, if it doesn't work properly just remove the changes and ask again.
Maybe, anytime later, someone answers to the thread who has more experience with it.

It doesn't work. Since the beginning I've been trying this path:

Textures\Ranger.blp

but it changed the portrait only, not the skin itself. I haven't much expirience, maybe I'm missing something... basic.

dont know if you did but if you use the
units\nightelf\Archer\Archer
units\creeps\HighElfArcher\HighElfArcher

make sure to add .blp after else that wont work to make it easy to help you link us the skin you want to use so we can test it

I found a workaround for now, I'll replace Shandris' skin. Anyway if someone has some better ideas I will be glad to read it

Ok problem solved.

To change the skin:

Textures\Ranger.blp

To change the portrait:

Units\NightElf\Archer\Ranger.blp

thanks for the support!
