Anyone knows how can I use the same base model (texture edited from hero to hero) on several differents heroes ?
I WANT to use the same model everytime, just making different the texture. So since the model is custom, I don't think I can just change their filenames.
What could I do ?

where can i tell it the skin it should use ?
I have my custommod1.mdx, i want to copy it to custommod2.mdx, but i want each of those to have a different texture, and then import each to a different hero, but i don't know how can i change the 'references' they uses.
sorry if i didn't get you the first time


i mean, my custommod1.mdx already has custommod1.blp as skin, which i modified, but then i want to use AGAIN the same model, with a different texture (and i am editing the models too with Vertex Modify, so basically i don't want to search for 20 similar models and edit them, just want to make all from one only)
