Using only skin from a model

[Kabel]

Hi!

There is a great model on this site:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...rocessor-47525/?prev=search=sheep&d=list&r=20

This model is very big (300kb) and it looks so silly with the sheep-thing, however the skin on the farm is great.

I wonder if it is possible and if it is moraly right to use only the skin of this model and apply it on a regular pigfarm? That means being able to both have an ordinary Pig Farm and this new one.

I guess its impossible, because this a new model and the skin won't fit on a farm. But if you want, I can remove this sheep thing if you ask the creator if you may do it.

the texture is basicly just a bunch of copy and paste of ingame textures.

So you could just search for each part in the mpq and rewrap it.

I imported the skin only and replaced the Pig Farm path. Now it fits the Pig Farm model. But is it possible to have both skins in the game at the same time?

Unless you import an additional model that looks the same as the Pig farm and make it use another path than the one existing in the game.

If I use MDL <> MDX Converter and converts the Pig Farm into a mdx, modifies it a bit and then imports it back into the game again, then I will have two Pig Farms I guess. But how do I do to give the new Pig Farm a new path?

It doesnt need a path because it still has ingame textures.

So what is the most efficent way to get the sheep processor model or the skin of the sheep processor into the game?

For your sheep texture farm whatever:
- Export the pig farm model. Change the texture it uses to some path, like Textures\sheep.blp or something, whatever the name of the imported texture is.
- Import it and set the sheep farm texture to that path.

For your regular farm:
- Keep it the way it is.
