How To Use TechMPQ

I don't understand the part when i want to import a male archer model into a map, you know the 2 bars? Which bar do i put my archer model and the other for the map i am importing to?

Easy solution to all problems with TechMPQ: Use WinMPQ instead :P

Not you again... can't you find something else to do, or something positive to say? :nono:

@ DF

Put the model in File importing and then put your map in the one that says something along the lines of .mpq file.

Actually, I can. If it was rewritten as a mpq editor, rather than a GUI for mpq2k that doesn't actually use MPQ2k, it could be good. Also, if it was open source, it could be a good thing to learn to learn how to use SFMPQAPI with (I'm assumming, I haven't seen the source). As it is now, it is not a good mpq editor.

So in all, Is this how i do it?

[Archer_Elven.mdx] [Browser]

[C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Maps\Download\whatever.w3m] [browser]

[MaleArcher\]

RIGHT OR WRONG?

It is right if you want to change the model path for the archer (and not replace the original). You can chaange the model path with UMSWE in the Unit Editor (the normal WE doesn't let you set paths).

To JollyOven: Can't you shut up? I know that you don't like TechMPQ. I do so either. But I don't say all the time USE WINMPQ. If I were you, I'd help the people insted of flaming them. Additionally this can cause problems with mods and admins.

The problem is when i first change the path to malearcher\Elven_Archer in UMSWE than i add it into map, it doesn't show up in the game.

Bah, me pointing out how much more optimized this site could be seemed to annoy the admins more :P

As for why I continually say not to use TechMPQ... Most of the people who use TechMPQ use it because they are either unaware of other editors or were unable to get other editors to work. As they post here because they are having problems with things which tend to be easier with WinMPQ than TechMPQ, it makes sense to suggest that WinMPQ is used. If you truely like TechMPQ better for some reason, go ahead and keep using it. If the person had not heard of WinMPQ, that is an easily solved problem. If the person could not get WinMPQ to work, that is also easily solved, as SF has fixed her installer program which covers all of the runtimes, etc.

Frankly, if you consider things like "Easy solution to all problems with TechMPQ: Use WinMPQ instead :P " to be flames, then I have one question. Have you ever read a single post not by me? If you are talking about my second post in this thread, it was an honest opinion, which really didn't attack it that much.

Okay. Anyway the most people don't use the installer program. I doesn't use it either, but I never failed installing WinMPQ.

BTW, is it right that Shadowflare is female (you said her installer)? Sorry to ask, but I have never heard that before.

the thing i don't use winmpq is because is not like importing stuff into maps, and i can only import those file to wc3patch thing and the other. How am i suppose to be happy without people seeing the skin?

Yes, shadowflare is female.

WinMPQ should be able to import skins to maps. If you can't, you either have an old version or something is configured wrong, which is entirly possible, as war3 maps have some special settings.

My aploligize, you were right jolly, i just tried and i can open w3m. I dunno if the skin my get imported now

btw if u just want to see the skin, just put in the wc3 directory and open up WE

Ok, 1 Thing Jolly, When i imported into the map, it doesn't show in the game, it show In the WE

Edit: WTF! I don't see the model in the ****ing map with MPQ! WTH!!!!

You mentioned that it shows up in WE... did you remember to reinport the skins after looking at the map?
