Importing Skins

The only actual way I was able to import it was to make it as if it was another model. Yes that means exporting the model, mdl editing with the textures used, but it worked, but was friggin' painful. I think when I use layers in photoshop it screws the skins and they can't be used

Arg...

I did all the tutorial said and i used the scarecrow.blp skin, I imported, changed its path to units\Creeps\Zombie\ZombieA.blp and saved the map...I got back on and looked for the zombie in the unit layer...a huge green box appeared saying could not load zombieA.mdl...I have tried over and over and even with different skins...i keep getting the same thing over and over again..WHAT DO I DO!! AHHH!

1. Sometimes, WE may have problems loading the skin or model, so it may take a while to recognise it or display it corretly. It should in some cases, work in the game.

2. Contact the author.

Problems with Imporrting

Listen ive got a mysterious problem...

Ive imported my Blp file (shock phalanx) and changed the custom path to the original skin.

units\human\BloodElfSpellThief\BloodElfSpellThief.blp

But the skin didnt changed so plz help me...

your path is not right, the right path is:
Textures\BloodElf-SpellThief.blp
