Thanks

i still dont understand that guy

Steps:

1. Download the skin that you want.
2. Extract the skin from the Zip file.
3. Import the skin into the map.
4. Set the CORRECT PATH of the skin.
Example:

If you have a skin of a grunt, you must type in the Custom Path the path for the grunt. To see the path for the grunt, go to the grunt unit, and check it's model. In the Custom Path it should be Units/Orcs/Grunt... (or something like this). Copy the path of the grunt and Paste it in the the path of the skin that you imported.

5. The skin is applied, and it should be working now. If the skin isn't showing up, review the path and see if everything is right.

ok iam gettin very annoyed here i recently downloaded a skin but for some odd reason when i go to model to type in the path i use the copy/paste it wont allow me to load it it keeps sayin file not found so my question is on a down loaded skin what would be the path cuz i convert it to .blp it is in my imported files as war3mapImported\ThunderLizardBrown.blp any thing wrong with that any help would be much apretiated

YES! i finnally got the skin to work!!!!

thanks Rui your explianation was better than most stuff i could find on google

Edit: ok now i have a new PROBLEM! i applyed the skin in one map then opened another it was not imported into and another..... but the model is showing up with the custom skin! i deleted it in the first map and that fixed it but i cant seem to apply a skin to only one map.... or am i wrong?

what exactly your new problem? please explain it more clearly.

yeah i'm having the same problem. i downloaded a skin, extracted all files, and imported the .blp file into WC editor. I dont know what to do from here. i've tried a whole bunch of things that didnt work.. but what should i do????

Omg ffs. Did you really had to animate the topic? Read what i wrote or download Wc3viewer and find the paths -_-
