How to put skin on model?

Eyy guys, some time ago i downloaded the Gnome Warlock model from this site and imported it. But when i saw the skin made for the same model i imported it aswell but there was no path that was yellow colored so i thought (that's mostly correct) that there is no path! Now, i don't know what to do. The object editor only see's the model so what to do know? Please give me a tutorial because i couln't ask it in there! :wink: :D

I guess you could find the path in the model, I can't remember wich one that is the text mased one but I think it's .mdx, so what u do:
If the model is a .mdl file convert it to .mdx with War3FileConverter (Found on the site->tools) and then open the mdx in notepad. Search the text for "textures" (Correct me if I'm wrong anyone :P ) and find a list of different textures with a path. Finally you will see some paths, I dunno wich path u should look after, but I think you will guess it quite easy (Hopefully) If not, you could always try all the paths.. :P

You don't need to do anything with the imported model, as I guess u have the model in a map, so this is the one u convert, u don't need to import a new model or something. Just in case u didn't know :P So all u do is change the path when you've found it. :D

Hope this will help.
