If you're using the Import Manager, which you should, you don't need to worry about that.

i dont use it... is that the one in tft world editor ??? cuz do i just import that edited blps or wat?

-edit-
ok i changed the file to a blp wit image extractor and now do i have to use winmpq??? cuz i just went to WE and used import manager (while i had my map open) and imported the blp that way and i saved it .. but when i tried ingame the skin didnt work

-edit-
ok well i imported it into the map using import manager then imported it using winmpq and i saved the map in WE and STILL it goes back to regular skin ingame :(
if anyone can ill help youll be the best person in the world EVER

No the best person in the world is Ronald MacDonald and he's dead right now. And this doesn't go to GALLERY.

if you use the MPQ2k script to attach a skin. then it only stays on that map until you change and save the map in W.E., then it goes back to its original.

That is why the Import Manager is better than sex.
