Skin Path (s)

Like Arab4life I have also addressed this subject in the past:

To just apply a custom skin to a model simply determine the correct texture path using Warcraft III Viewer, rename the custom skin to the original skin's name, import it into the map and apply the skin with WE's Object Editor. This will apply the skin to ALL models in the map that use that skin.

If you wish to use BOTH original and custom skins on the same model in the same map you must::

1. Use MPQ master v1.2.0 to extract the model that you want to use.
   
   
2. Use MDX Pather 1.01 to change the texture path to that of your custom skin. Save the .mdx including the new path.
   
   
3. Import the model and custom skin into the map and assign the texture the correct path.
   
   
4. Apply the model to an ability, doodad or unit using WE's Object Editor.
