Yeah , just use the same paths you use when extracting files in the map MPQ . Its like using the MPQ extractor , you just dont need the program.

Ya i understand u can get files out and in using the import and export manager but i meant is there a way to load custom skins into the map. I tried using some of the really really great skins from master slow poke's site but when i used the directory to the files there was an error and i got that evil green cube on the WE. Ok im getting a headache i went 2 the eye doctor 2day they dialated my eyes 2 look at em and everythings blurry. im gonna go get a glass of water. :lch:

You don't use skins via object edtor. You have to use the import manager. but for where it goes it depends on the skin you are using. What skins are you using?

PS:
Many other ways but import manager is rather easy...

The expansion Priest uses a different skin file.
