Problems using a skin

[NarGalloth]

Hi.

Maybe this is already answered somewhere in the forum, but I didn't find it.
The problem is that I have a skin for a model, and I have that model... But is there a way to know what path must have the imported skin to work with the model? I didn't find that information anywhere.
I can't make it work!
Someone can help me?

Thanks for reading

Regards

Few ways are here. First u can open your model with model editor and see what textures are used, next find your texture and copy it's path from model editor, imprt your skin and change it path to texture path of your model, that' all

I see. What program do you recommend me to use?

Is the model a standard warcraft 3 model? In that case you simply overwrite the texture the model is using in game.

If the model is custom, you should find the texture name in the same place the resource was uploaded.

The model is one of the black_stan (I think that is the name) ninja models. I didn't find any clear information about how to correctly import this model and it's skin, but I have both of them.

See hive's tutorials: How to: Import a skin. it's said there that you have the skin. Import it to the map and rename the war3imported prefix into the desired path.

... rename the war3imported prefix into the desired path.

That's the problem. I don't know what the correct path is.
I have already imported a lot fo models in my maps, and they work fine. I know how to import models. But I can't do anything if I don't know the skin's path.

HammerFist132 said that I could open the model with a model editor and see wath texture path it uses. What program should I use, and how can I see this information? I want to try this, at least.

If anyone knows any other alternative, please tell me. This model is a very important character in my project, and very soon I will need to use it (I didn't find any other suitable model for this character).

Hi.

I have downloaded the Magos Model Editor, and I opened the model with it. I saw wath texture path the model uses, and now everything works fine.
Anyway, thanks for all your attention.
The problem is solved.
