I dont know why i cant add files (.blps, .txt etc) into the war3.mpq with winmpq
Heres what i do:

1-open war3.mpq with winmpq
2-push the add button
3-add (for example) abomination.blp
4-put it in the folder Textures\
5-exit winmpq
6-play warcraft and the skin of abomination is still unchanged

What am i doing wrong???

Maybe nothing.
Check if your w3m is not used by any other app.
Then make sure it's not Read Only.
Try to drag and drop files from Windows Explorer.
If it still doesn't work:
-Extract all the files of the MPQ/W3M you wanted to update
-Create a new MPQ
-Put these files in it and add yours.

Shouldn't you add it to the map?

i cant add files into the original .w3m (the ones that came with the game), i need to do a new .mpq archieve...for example: if i want to add files into the war3patch.mpq i need to create a new war3patch.mpq and extract the files from the original war3patch.mpq to the new war3patch.mpq (LOL LOL LOL, that was HARD to put here)
