Importing Skins

Okay, I've got War3 Viewer now, but how do I get it to tell me the correct file path for the skin? I've tried, but I've failed miserably.

Using the MPQ Open button on the toolbar, open up war3.mpq or war3.mpq located in your Warcraft III Folder. On the right side there should be a mpq tree list browser. Browse with it to find your skin. Note your leaving a path to the skin as you browse through the categories.

can some1 please what i need to type? i have tryed with wc3 wiever and other programs but it dont work. What do i do wrong??? Mu demon hunter sill loks borring

You type the path for your skin. The path for your Demon Hunter skin is: Textures\HeroDemonHunter.blp

The tools provide a MPQ Viewer which browses the mpq as I said.

*slaps self* I finally figured out how to do it! Thanks, Sopho!

Doesn't help at all. I import a viollager skin thru
textures\
units\critters\villagerman\villagerman
units\critters\villagermale\villagermale

i have tried reversing the first unit name with the second and everything else, but the only way is to use the "second skin" way

Eusira,

Re-import the skin.
Make sure the paths are correct. Look them up in WC3 Viewer's tree list view very carefully.

IMPORTANT - All skins imported end with a .blp if its in .blp format and .tga if its in .tga format.

Help!

I have done exactly what you have said above, tried it on several different things, I have successfully imported the skin and changed file path, but I still do not know how to usethe skins! For one of the skins the unit path pointed to the rifleman, so i placed 1 and the rifleman dissapeared and only his coat remained, but this was not the skin I intended or previewed in the screenshot! Help please!

If you've been reading, skins automatically apply themseleves to their models. An import to the path is all you need to do. WE may not show the skin, but it should recognise it in the game.

Sounds like corrupted alpha channels problems too with the skin, did you download it or make it yourself?

Dled from this site i understand that the skin applies itself to the model in the path file but it wont work! the skin looked no different in game!

Perhaps you need to contact the author. Or re-download the skin. Remember, skin paths are mostly the problems why they will not work, double check again, and use \ not /.

hey iam new here and could u plz tell me how 2 use WCIII viwer i mean show me it like this toturial... with pics'n'stuff?? i would b reallu happy if ya could put pics up with ever step finding the thing

why ask here? Do a search in the skins or models forum on how WC3 Viewer works.
