Why can't I use the skin?!?!

Sorry to bother al you with this stupid noobish question, but how do I use a skin in the game?!?

Is the path the excact path of the model?

Example :
I want to use Pins' Lobster Crypt Lord skin. I import it, right? So then I put in the path :
Units\Undead\HeroCryptLord\HeroCryptLord.blp = Didn't work
Textures\HeroCryptLord.blp + Didn't work

I need help here please...

If Textures/HeroCryptLord.blp doesn't work, may god be with you :wink:

Um...

Anything else I can do?

check every tutorial you can find, and then try it again when it does not work :)

Open it in wc3viewer's listfile in treeview under BLP, which means find the original skin in the MPQ, for each little +/- button there is a \, except for obvious areas, and if THAT doesn't work, open CL model and press CNTRL+M for the texture paths, but that one doesn't always work
