Use Ingame Textures for Custom Models

[chilla_killa]

Hello Guys,
I'm new to modelling and made a few models, with first nooby animations and custom textures. So i need Custom Pathes.

Now my question is: How can I use ingame textures for my new made models?
I work with Milkshape 3D.

You need to export the orignial texture from the .mpq
You import this into milkshape and unwrap

You export your model from milkshape
You use either mdxpather or convert the .mdx into .mdl and change the path manually to what the original file's path is in the .mpq

Its so easy? lol thanks
But I still don't get how I get the UV-Map in Milkshape.
I read the tutorial but i still understand it.
Please someone help me

1. There is an edit button, use this...

2. You dont import any UV Map if thats what you are asking for.
You need to unwrap your custom model onto the existing texture.

I think his real question is how to unwrap the model onto the existing texture.

1. if you already have groups for your model go to the materials tab
2. click on the upper <none> button below the ambient and specular buttons
3. look for your texture
4. go to groups tab and select those that you want to assign your texture on
5. go back to materials tab then click assign.

ok now select those groups you want to modify your texture to.
click on the window tab on the upper portion, then select texture coordinate editor

1. on the left part, select the group you want to put textures to
2. press the region button then make a square on where you want the model to take texure to.
3. select what viewport it is from, (top,left right, etc) then press remap
4. use the select, rotate and scale buttons to modify other things to your liking

to import ingame textures, download this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/warcraft-iii-viewer-62878/

extract it then open it.

1. it should automatically open up your warcraft III mpq, if not maybe you installed your warcraft in another place so you should look for your warcraft III. normally it should be in C:\Program Files\Warcraft III
2. there is that button on the top, click the blp button. look for the texture you desire then open it.
3. click on the button that says blp with one arrow, not the one that has 2 arrows.
4. save it as whatevernameyouwant , you can save it as bmp,jpg,tga. normally its bmp

Don't double post, use the "Edit" button.
