Skins and Filepaths

I was wondering if it is remotely possible to to use for example this:
http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=80117 skin as under a hero.

What I want to create is a hero with this skin, or is it only possible to use this skin to the ogre path?

Regards

Eh? Why wouldn't it?

Do I just need to pick the Path of the hero that I would want the skin to attach to and that paste that into the custom path in the import editor?

Do you want to use the skinned ogre as a hero or do you have a custom model that you want to use it or..?

He wants to use the texture on another model.

No, its not possible to just use a texture for a model it wasnt made for. Textures are model specific.

Well you can... Remap Textures in War3Viewer... But it just doesn't work, trust me. :P

You could attach a hero glow to the ogre, if that´s what you mean.

Stop telling this kid "but if this" or "but if that" without any further explanation. He clearly has no idea how texture maps work, so just settle for a clear awnser that he can understand.

Wich is that it cant be done by changing the filepath.

Warnicro's like 20.

*cough* even older, I feel so old now ^^, I never did devote allot of time in custom things in wow, but I got the picture.

The skins are bound to a certain unit path, and it's not advised to use them on other paths.

Yes. If the model doesn't use the texture from the beginning (there are some custom models that use the default wc3 Ogre skin) you shouldn't use them on other paths.

I'll just explain how it works.

Basically, a texture is model data. Diffrent parts of the texture file get projected onto designated parts of the model file. Every model has a diffrent shape, and therefore the texture file is arranged diffrently.

If you where to put a texture that doesnt belong to a certain model on that model, the model would project the same parts of the texture as it would if it would still have the original texture.

A part that normally has, for example, a leg on it, could have an arm in that same location in another texture. It would then project the arm bit onto the legs of the model...

I am aware that this may not be the clearest explanation, but its all i've got :P

I wish somebody had told me that a long time ago... :P
