"Dragon teeth" ... concrete solid pyramids ( different from tetrahedrons)
Well acoording to some information on the net , they were used as beach obstacles... didnt know that ... only knew they were used inland to block tanks.

Could help me with the beach obstacles? Could u help me retexture the "dragons teeth" or show/tell me how to as well as help me lengthen the log of the wooden log obstacle

Okay. Firstly, you'll have to download both Oinkerwinkle's Warcraft mdl editing tools (specifically the Vertex Modify) and Magos' Model Editor (the War3 Model Editor), which can both be found in the tools section.

1.Open the MPQ browser of Magos (Windows > MPQ Browser).
2.Open File > War3.mpq , then the textures folder and find a picture that you want to use as the texture. 3.Remember its name.
4.Now open your Dragons teeth in Magos. Open the MPQ browser again, and right-click the texture you want. Select 'use as texture' (DO NOT OPEN THE TEXTURE!).
5. When you've done that, open the Material Manager (Windows > Material Manager). Right click on the white space and select 'Create New'.That will open up a new window.
6. Under the Texture ID window, click the drop-down menu and select your texture.
7. Press OK.
8.Now remember what the Material ID number is (or write it down).
9. Open the Geoset Manager (Windows>Geoset Manager). Select the geoset whose texture you want to change (in this case, there's only one geoset.)
10. Double click the geoset. Change the material ID to the one you just memorised.
11. Should be all done!
