[Import] How to use skins

[Manuval]

Hello Hivers. How can I use skins in world editor?
Here are the things that I had done.
1. Downloaded the Skin
2. Opened Model Editor
3. Open the model similar to the skin
4. Removed the old texture and replaced it with the custom skin.
5. Saved The File
6. Imported the model and the skin in World Editor
7. Imported the skin to the corresponding path.
8. Changed the model file of the model similar to the skin.
But if I test the map, it shows nothing.
Please help..

Just import it and change the custom path to unit skin texture path you want,and voila,this will replace the skin of the unit

You no need to do that and you don't have the permission to do that (You have permission to use it on your model if the skin editor say ''YES'')
You just need to import the skin into your Import Manager and change its path.

Here are the things I had done
1. Imported the skin
2. Change its path to the SAME MODEL path
Noting happened?!?!?

you are doing it wrong.
Skins are not .mdl s so you dont have to put the path,just the texture path of the unit you want,like Textures\ArchMage.blp

 

[Manuval]

Yeah I had done that..

 

[super_nova]

You must be doing it wrong
Maybe you can tell us what model and skin is it?

 

[EmoBrother]

You had done it in WRONG PATH !
An example of path :
"Units\critters\villagerman1\villagermale1.blp" -> This replace the skin of Villagermale1
You want to replace skin of which unit ??

It says what path to put the skin under.

Path & Unit
Import the skin to the following path:
textures\footman.blp

The skin will replace the following unit/doodad/texture/interface:
footman.blp

Use the 'textures\footman.blp' path if you want to replace the footman's main texture.
Use the 'footman.blp' path to replace the interface texture of the footman.
These strings will need to be used to rename the texture in the import manager after importing it. If you want to replace both textures import the texture twice.
