Hi everyone, I'm an amataur map creator, I mostly create stuff for my self like battlegrounds or cities, maybe you can help me.

1. How do I switch colors for the player? I mean, it's red by default and I cant switch to say...blue. I tried messing around with "Player properties"- making blue "user" and red "computer", making blue "player 1" and red "player 2".
Nothing worked, I always end up being red with blue being hostile.

2. Is there any way to extract models\skins from existing maps? I really want a model from "The Lord of the clans" custom campaign for personal use, the author said it's ok to borrow resources from it.

I had a couple more questions which I forgot, maybe I'll remember them later :)

1.: The colors are bound to the player inidices (Player 1 is red, Player 2 blue, ...). While testing a map you always are Player 1, but you can just copy your map into the Maps-folder (inside your Warcraft III-folder), launch Warcraft and select your map under custom game. In the world editor you can customize player properties (e.g. disable Player 1).

2.: Open the map in world editor, start the Import Manager, select the desired files and click Export File.
