Problem with skins

[Lag-MaN]

I have made some skins, now when i try to launch them threw the map editor [test map] it does not work.
I have done some hard job on thouse skins and now I have this problem. What could be the reason???

There are a number of problems.

1. make sure its a 32bits .blp (if not, opaque alpha channel inserted with wc3 viewer)

2. The path should be correct

3. \ instead of /

4. Re-opened your map

Sopho pretty much covered it well but anotehr thing... Make sure that you have the file imported in with your import/export manager in world edit and make sure you've changed the paths to those that are correct. It's a more basic problem but people who are relatively new can not know that... Also if you ahve made any icons, make sure that they have been (after importing) selected in the unit editor manualy by selecting the import bubble in the 'game interface' section and then selecting the icon (if there are multiple oens). This probalby wasn't of any help but, I like to think I've helped someone. Heh...

well, before you import it you have to convert back to .BLP, you cant do it on psp or "non-blizzard related" programs so just download WC Viewr and and convert it

Image Extractor Works to. W3M Map Utilities's .BLP converter also works.

How do u find the path? i made a skin but i dont know the path...

The path is listed through WC3 Viewer's or Image Extractor II's tree view list. There are categories as you browse through the MPQ so remember what your path was.
