The skins dont show up in the game

Well, first of all, Hello. I am new on this forum.

Second. I read the tutorials and create some skins, but I have one problem.

The skin that I make shows up in the editor, but dont show in the game properly. I dunno what im doing wrong.

1) extract the tga
2) modify the tga, importe in the viewer and save as blp
3) insert the blp with the correct path in the map

4) when I open the map in the oficial editor, it shows up the new skin, but when I try to run the game, it goes back to the original skin.

5) Someone told that if you save the map in the editor it erase the new skins, so I tried to make the map and then insert the blp in the map, It doent work too.


thankx in advance

I had the same problem -- so let me tell what the problem was in my case. If you follow the tutorial, it seems to have been written before TFT and leaves some information out.

Once I got this working, I didn't use the mpq editor at all anymore, just the image extractor.

Save you blp, and note the correct path for the texture. Then open the World Editor and open the import manager. Import your file (blp). Then, right click on it (or is it double click) in the list when it appears. Check the little box for custom path and enter the path to the old default skin. It will now overwrite the default in your map. Sometimes it doesn't show up right away in the editor, so I'd always save after this and reload the map. That fixed the problem for me.

Jeffsu: Thankx man, It worked like a charm.

way to go
