Importing Skins

1. THERE IS NO TUTORIAL FOR IMPORTING SKINS
-maybe u mean the tutorial for importing models
2. THE TUTORIAL FOR EDITING MODELS IS BAD TOO

3. mostly the path for the skin isnt posted, so u have
to ask the editor of this model or have to guess it

4. models are better anyway (easier to load in a
map/paths are given everytime)

5. moreover models take paths for normal units,
another reason why skins suck

6. if 5. is wrong plz tell me how to do it, that they
dont take pathes for normal units

Well, see I want to replace the skin of a custom model, how's that possible do you just change the path?

NEED HELP PLZZZZZ IM NEW

i downloaded spells for an ORPG map ssuck as hero selector and bags etc etc the only problem is that i dunno how to import them into one of my maps plz help!

I need help here......i got the skin and the model right, everything seems okay, but when i play it there is nothing in the space of my model.When i say nothing it means a shadow that cannot be selected .
Can anyone help me?

then the model path is wrong. if the skin is wrong u just c the standard wc3 skin (or they both dont work)

convert the model to mdl (wc3 file converter dl on this site) and open with nodepad or wordpad, then ctrl+F and find textures

Maybe i explained it wrong, when i test the map, the model/skin did not came out, and is replaced by a shadow, which cannot be clicked..

skin removal

I'm a complete noob at this. How do you remove the skin?

remove the imported skin file

i just started my map about 3 or 4 week ago(its gonna be a VERY big map) and i cant get any of the paths right for the models im using. it is getting very annoying. plz help

for standard models, look at art - model and then custom. for cusom models, open them in wc3viewer

Hmmmmm.Well guys ur getting problems with the paths not importing the models or the skins.

(Thnx to the Knowledge of Ramza i'v become a pro)
(2 Ways to get a model working)

1:First open This tool its call Warcraft 3 Viewer....Then open the model on Warcraft 3 Viewer....After you open the model on this tool press CTRL+M when you press those 2 keys there will appear a little window there you will see the skins path the model requires....

Here is the tool if u dont know it....

When I load/make new skin/model where I do save it? What folder and how? Give me answer, please.

u import it into ur map with the import manager. then remove the 'wc3imported' from the path at models, and for skins put 'textures' and the rest, except if its a skin for a standard wc3 model, u find the paths in art - model => custom or wc3viewer

hello bro..
i'm very confused about importing the model.
i've write the custom path in the import manager like they said in the tutorial about importing the model.
(change filepath for (.blp) and leave (.mdx) like the tutorial said)
It work on the Art-Icon-Game Interface, but it didn't work on the Art-Model File. The model didn't appeared on the editor...
when i put it in the editor, it only appear in green-black boxes and there's some text said "could not load file : 'xxx.mdl'"


i'm totally noob about this...
can u help me?

did you close/open the editor?
