Help a newbie out

All the tutorials seem to be pre-TFT. I made my first skin, and converted it back to a .blp and everything, but from there on, I don't know how to get it into my map. I remember reading that you can just use the import manager, so I used it and imported my .blp, and I'm clueless on what to do next...:abomHUH?:

EDIT: Do I have to convert the .blp into a .mdx through a use of some program? Or can I directly put it in as a .blp, if so, how?

ok just put the unit that u edit on the ground and it shoulded be changed like if u had a footmen reskinned and u imported it the new skin would over lap the old skin just look at ur old skin model and it should have ur new

Right, that's my problem. Here, I skinned Jaina, I saved the .blp everything ok. I open up WE, I import the .blp via the .blp manager. I find Jaina in the unit pallete, place her down and same old skin.

hmmmm wtf i am having the same problems but with heros... i can do units. okay i think i know whats wrong try converting it into a .mdx then importing it

Yea, that's what I was thinking, would you happen to know where I can get a good .blp -> .mdx converter?

try looking in the downloads section there migth be one there...

Just add it the old fasion way. It should work with tft still. Use techmpq its very simple. You can download it at the download section and you can get a tutorial here. Slowpoke's Site

I seemed to have problems with Tech MPQ before, but if I finally did it! It works great, I'm so happy I can finally skin now :ggani:

hey reinhart what method did u use??? techmpq? did it work does it show up in game?

1)ark-1)ragon: go here slowpoke's site

i did i tried the techmpq wat and the import in the editor they only rhe units show up and the heros dont and plus when i play my map it doesnt show the custom unit

When you use the import manager you must import it AND edit the filepath of the imported blp so it overwrites whatever unti you are erasing, also, generally you must reopen your map to see the change.

That's strange, in the map editor my skin pops up all fine and dandy, but in game it resets to the original skin (I used Tech MPQ to replace the Jaina file in my map to the one created)

same here

with the techmpq did u do it as a .MDX or a .blp jaina
