How do i import skins i downloaded off the internet into a map of mine? And if u got the time can someone tell me HOW I can open up a warcraft 3 skin? I got Paintshop pro 7 but nothing else. |

You must get WINMPQ, so first, go HERE You need to know the folder path for the skin that you are importing. For instance, the TeamColor.blp skin must have the folder path "ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\" in front of the TeamColor.blp part in order for it to work correctly. The final item name for TeamColor.blp must be: ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor.blp - - - If you give me the skin name that you want to import, I can give you an exact example, but you must know how to use WinMPQ first. |

Ok thanks, you think u can give me the direct link for Demonhunter and also a footman? Sorry, Deathwing....I looked at the tutorials and there is nothing useful there. Ok just things on how to edit then not to extract. |

Well the full name for Illidan or a Demon Hunter is... Textures\HeroDemonHunter.blp and the Footman is.... Textures\Footman.blp Well, I hope that helps. Using WinMPQ and doing it is very easy once you get the hang of it. |

now that we are talking about problems. I have a something weird to add. Ok straight to the point. I use Photoshop 7.0 to edit skins and KDEWolfs Warcraft3Viewer to convert the files to and from .blp. OK None of the skins i have made have ever appeared ingame or in the editor. I Accidentally found MasterSlowPoke (i dont exactly remember his name, sry if im wrong) or something like that´s website and (just 2 see if im doing something wrong when editing the skin) found some random skin to download (dont worry its already deleted again) I the Implanted a skin by me (A Demon Hunter with some armor and stuff added) and the skin from SlowPokes website in the same map (a copy of Plunder Isle). OK i then create a game to check the skins, and (Here it comes) i can see the Downloaded skin and not my own. I added the Demon Hunter as Textures\HeroDemonHunter\ and the ghoul skin (the downloaded 1) as Units\Undead\Ghoul\. WTF am i doing wrongemote_confused . This has been bugging me for some time now, im experienced with Photoshop and would like see if i can make a skin look good ingame. I have tried and endless number of tutorials so plz dont link. I am doing something wrong, but what. P.S. I dont even know what an Alpha-Channel is so i dont hope that is the problem. P.P.S plz some1 help me :( :( |

The DH pathname is wrong. The correct is only "Textures\" Now it should work. |

I thought of the same thing about 5 min. after i posted it. So i it works now, except that i can only see his wrists and team glow. The skin i made was a just a demon hunter with a green chest and some green lines on his "blade". btw how does the "number of posts" system work ? how many posts do u need until your rank changes ? |
