[The guy who needs help]

If any1 could tell me how to use skins i'm gonna be real glad

 

[Mechanical Man]

Please, be more specific. Do you want import them into a game on a wc model?

 

[The guy who needs help]

Yes

Yes i do want to import a skin in WE on a model

 

[Mechanical Man]

Import it via import manager and set the path equal to your model original skin.
Example: a skin for footman has a path of Textures/Footman.blp

 

[Kimbo]

yes. Everymodel uses a path so it can use a skin on it..blah..blah or something like that.

If you need to know the path of something, then use wc3viewer found in tool section of this sites resource database.
to find a path so your skin will apply to a certain model, just simply do a search for the model (the model u want your skin to be on) and then go up to your menu and keep looking for something called "show used texture names" or something and cnp the one that has the units name in it.

ps, sorry iv rushed this, i gtg school soon.

I can't get skins to work either. This is what im doing:
1(Getting the models path (on the custom line)
2(Changing that to the path on the skin
3(Restarting

But its not working =(

.

As in its still the original model.
Is the custom area on the Art-Model on a unit the path?

 

[The guy who needs help]

thnx werewulf its working now

 

[Kimbo]

ah, okay.

ill just post this for Slayer040175 rather than pm.
Some skins dont work, sometimes restarts need to be done twice and make sure you have the *right* path.
and make sure you use the campaign importer when applying a skin.

 

[Slayer040175]

Oh i got it now ty!
