Ummm...

MDX and MDL are model files.

TGA and BLP are skin files.

MDX and MDL are 3d.
TGA and BLP are 2d.

I don't think you asked the right question ;) ...

But I think I know what you mean

To get a TGA into a BLP, you have to download Warcraft 3 Image Extractor.

The Models and Skins are two completely seperate files. In the game, the skin is placed on the model. Understand?

okok wtf u ppl didnt answer his question...
well i will answer that! =D

ok, if u want to replace the skin existing in the game, which is used by a model, import it, rename the path to the path of the existing one, the model will have th skin ready... example Textures\HeroDemonHunter.blp
for creating new paths for skins, u need to have a new mdx for yur skin, extract any of the mdx that u want... like footman, and u have done a new skin for it, convert the mdx to mdl, then open it with notepad... goto the textures section, find the one that is linking to the original skin file, change that path to any u want(that is Textures\Footman.blp to anything... like Textures\Footman2.blp) save it, convert it back, import the model to the game and and as well as the skin... there u have it... remember to change the path of the imported skin to the one u typed in the mdl... hope that helps... sounds kinda confusing right? =P
