Applying Skins

Applying Skins

Im sure that this question has been asked many many times in the past, but how do I apply skins and icons and etc that I have downloaded...

It's very simple. Just import the file and change right click on it, click Modify File Properties, change the file path to what its supposed to be (eg. Textures\HeroDemonHunter.blp).

EDIT: You have to restart the Editor to see the skin on the unit.

Thanks, I had done it right. The only thing I did wrong was the restart worldedit.

Maybe you could ask nicely I'm only trying to help.

Usually the file path is included in a readme file or, on this site, on the screen with the link to download it. If it isn't included then you have to get Warcraft 3 Viewer or Wc3 Image Extractor and find the file path of the original skin, or you can use WinMPQ to find the path, although thats much more annoying.

@PyRoBoArDer_5: I don't know about any programs for importing files, but if that program doesn't work you have to do it manually, just refer back to my first post.

EDIT: Sorry PyRoBoArDer_5, I didn't read your post properly. To import a file go into the World Editor, click Import Manager (the arrow going into a piece of paper icon on the toolbar) and click Import File. Then refer back to my original post for the next step.

dont know what i means but thats what it says and i dont know where to look i have the thing the warcraft 3 image extractor does that work? if so where do i look?

wat i dont get is the files are in my import manager, but when i go to object editor it says there are still no proper import files.

Did you put in the proper file path? Is the file a blp?

hey i have a similar question to all of this while we are on the subject. I get how to import skins, but the problem is I dont get how to do models and stuff. I guess one thing I could say to give u an example of what im talking about, is im trying to get the goblin tinker thing to work. I know how to import the stuff from the download itself, however, i have no idea what paths to change the stuff to to get all the skins and models to work.
