Be sure that the bitmap is uncompressed and 32-bit... Otherwise you're probably doing it right. |

Your problem is that you're setting the unit's model as its skin. Place the skin in the EXACT location that it was in in the .mpq It should skin the model it was origionally intended for. You do not need to do ANY unit editing to implement skins. |

whats wrong with you people? I gave you a solution. Phobos is setting unit's models as their skins. What you need to do is place the skin you have edited in the EXACT path you extracted it from the .MPQ. Then, change it's filename to the filename of the skin you extracted from the .MPQ. Once that's done, the unit that had the skin you extracted will now have the skin you edited. Therefore, if its a peasant skin, then the peasant will have your new skin. I hate it when people ignore me |
