Importing Skins

[Saxdog2]

I need help with even downloading a skin or model..
Everytime it either doesn't download...or it a window pops up stating that the file is corrupted..
Why and is there another way I can download skins and models :?:

 

[ElfWarfare]

use FireFox, the best you can get or if you dont want firefox try opera.

 

[Saxdog2]

Oh and I forgot ot mention that it also states this..
The file is invalid or currupted.

Thats the full thing

How do I Import a skin that I made, for example, I edited the Captain model. So what do i put for the path?
i tried Units\Humans\TheCaptain\TheCaptain.blp, but it just stayed the same. :?: :?:

 

[ElfWarfare]

import the skin, set the path and restart WE, it should work, If the skin is working, because the path is right.

Edit the Computer AI in Funmaps

HI...

I've got a question, to be exact i need to know how to edit the Computer AI in Funmaps (e.g. Battle Ships)...
All i want is that the Computer buys weapons and attacks

If thats wrong please correct me.

Help Me!

Okay i'm still stuck even after reading 8 pages of "how to".
Okay this is the skin I got.
TaurenSpiritWalker.blp
It's located here:
http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Skins&ID=3695

I've tried changing the path to stuff like this:
Units/Undead/Ghoul/TaurenSpiritWalker.blp
But it still doesn't work.
Could someone please tell me how to get it to work or just post a path that should work.
Cheers
-Husky

 

[DarkShadow]

I would rather use this path (though it's a skin for the Tauren Spirit Walker):
units\Orc\SpiritWalker\TaurenSpiritWalker.blp

 

[husky_003]

Ahhh, didn't see that path in the Image Extractor. Forgot to load the other Mpq file.
Thanks dude, thanks...
-Husky

P.S: Yeah it worked... And does the path of the skin have to be the path of the actual unit its taking over (e.g for this skin it was in spirit walker) or can it be any?

 

[husky_003]

Hi again,
Umm i'm stuck on another skin. The path is meant to be (cause it says): Textures\Hero_BloodElf.
I did that but now I don't know what unit it has applied too.
Any help?

[CarrionMan]

[death-defiant]

Alright, I've imported the skins but I don't know what to change the path to and I don't know how to apply the skin to the model. :? Can someone help? :?

[flamdo]

1 question HOW THE H :evil: ll DO I IMPORT SPELLS :?:

 

[Jacek]

Have you even looked at spell import tutorial in Spells forum section? I think u didn't. The tutorial covers many aspects of spell importing rawcodes and others.

 

[robinremue]

I got a skin for a demonhunter
What path do I need to use for the skin

Thanks

 

[Daelin]

Flamdo... Even though this isn't the spells section, and is not really my area, you broke three rules through your post:

1) Didn't refer to the tutorial
2) Posted in caps
3) Posted before checking the stickies in the spells section!

Well, the third one is not really a rule, but the way you asked it, and because it was totally inappropriate... Next time you do this, you're warned!

[Drakeshiv]

Hello i'm new on this forum. I want to load new skins & models in my maps but when i try to load a model, editor always say "can't find "*****.mdl" . I read the basic tutorial for models "how to import models" but it work with that model !!! (and only with that one) ........

Any idea ?

 

[Hopeless]

im trying to figure out why in the world, when i import it, then i reboot wc3 editor, and then i place the unit it gives this green cube instead of the unit model,and it says wc3 editor couldn't find the unit model
please give an example of what path you would put it if u placed the model on the desktop, with screenshots preferably

 

[A]

What now

I get all that the tutorial says to do, but how do i attach the skin to the model? and while questioning, how do I get models to use downloaded weapons?!?!?

 

[Jacek]

attaching skins to the model? this tutorial is for skins. and for downloaded weapons you should read DeadDogNoGoWoof(whatever) sticky in models section. Not reading the stickies is bad...

 

[Gauntlet2021]

How do u use skins?

I can dl the skins easily, but how do i make the skin active on the regular model?

 

[AzzAman]

Hiya im sort of new to this site. I read the tutorial, so far the info has been usefull but i have encountered this corrupted alpha channel problem, i would like to know ways i could avoid corupting the alpha channels when im creating my skin if there is a tutorial on this already please direct me to it.

 

[The_grim]

skin importing

My big problem is that i dont understand "your skin's filepath". Because if i enter that c:\stuffs\myskin\myskin.mdl then i get a syntax error. If i enter that myskin\myskin.mdl than the file could not be loaded. Can someone explain importing clearly plz?

 

[GnomesSuckDwarvesRule]

I've been trying to use a custom skin on the blood mage model for hours now. I've tried using the model's path and adding a blp, I've tried mimicking the path in the file the skin came in, and I even downloaded the WC3viewer, which doesn't seem to support Frozen Throne models. So now I'm completely stumped. Instead of refering me to some crazy technology, can't somebody PLEASE, PLEASE tell me what path I need to type in, or what?

 

[Goopy_Guppy]

ok so what if the people don't tell you what the path for skin is? and how do you use the skin on a unit to change their model or w\e

 

[Goopy_Guppy]

wait... if skin name is like orcwarror.blp would that be the path? but then how would u make that skin the model

 

[blerbe]

can someone help? i read the first page, and peoplez say
that you need winmpq to get skins into roc. but i tried and and it didnt work.(downloading, i mean.) like all the other stuff. help would be appriciated

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

Would the path for the Gold Coin be:
Objects\InventoryItems\PotofGold\GOLDCoin.blp?
I'm trying this but doesn't work. I tried the same skin with the Spirit Walker, with the path I saw here, and it worked...

 

[Ramza]

Would the path for the Gold Coin be:
Objects\InventoryItems\PotofGold\GOLDCoin.blp?
I'm trying this but doesn't work

it should be Objects\InventoryItems\PotofGold\PotofGold.mdl

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

hum... it isn't working yet. Do I have to put the model's path? I thought it was the original skin, like the Spirit Walker example I saw in this topic.
I also saw in the War3viewer the path for the Gold Coin's skin. I was typing the correct one...

thanks for consideration, Ramza

 

[Ramza]

oh yes, i made a mistake, ofcourse no mdl but blp. i just copied the path the object editor gave

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

Ah yes... nice Yin Yang coin I made! But I had to use Lubbe's piratecoin model. Olofmoleman said that his skin for the TFT coin also didn't work, so he used this model.

Thanks for consideration again!
Marcelo

 

[Hadhafang]

when you use the skins are they like models??? or does it replace the original model??????

 

[Ramza]

it replaces the original skin. u can also use more skins for a model by converting the model to mdl, change the texture and then save that mdl and convert to mdx, so it looks the same but has another path (so u can apply the skin on that path)

 

[Muuli98]

I Can't read all pages so i ask now:
I Have read Import Model Tutorial in this site and i did everything like it says , But...
I Cant Understand waht i must do in phase 6!?!
There Says: Now you can assign the goblin model to a unit in the object editor. So What i have to do there?!?! help me plz!

 

[Ramza]

go to object editor, then to art and then to model, then u change the model to the imported model

 

[Muuli98]

What Art?

 

[Ramza]

when u go to the units tab and select a unit, u have on the right side alot of sections, u must go to the art section, its above the combat section i thought. just find 'art - model' there u must change the model to the imported model

 

[Muuli98]

Could u tell with more Details?

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

I'll try...

Go to the Object Editor and find your unit/doodad/item...
Find in the right side: "Art - Model File", and change it to the imported model
Click OK and then of course you know...

 

[Chaos_Naga]

SKins!

Okay okay okay...I knmow get the skin thing....but I have one important question....can you change the skins path so it goes to another unit...example...I have two skins for a bloodmage and im want them both to be used...what do I do??? Do i set them both to the bloodmage path or can i get one on a footman of something???

 

[Ramza]

read other posts before u ask something, i alrdy explained

it replaces the original skin. u can also use more skins for a model by converting the model to mdl, change the texture and then save that mdl and convert to mdx, so it looks the same but has another path (so u can apply the skin on that path)
