ive tried to figure it out on my own, and the only way i can seem to import models is when they specifically tell me how, and ive gotten a couple in that way but i cant find any tutorials that clearly help me with importing skins and models, this site has one on skins i think but it only confused me, can somebody please help?

Okay... gimme a minute to copy if out of another post...

EDIT:
Okay, here't how to import skins:
If you have RoC, get TFT (hehehe seriously). Get a program that can open .mpq files (I suggest WinMPQ) and open the map you want to import the file into, and then import it under the EXACT file path as in war3.mpq (for example, Textures\HeroDemonHunter). You have to do this after each time you save your map.

If you have TFT (and if you don't, than buy it!) then just go into the Import Manager and import the file, and then double-click, check the box that says Use Custom Path, and put in the file path exactly how it appears in war3.mpq.

Models can be imported to any location you want, unless you want it to overwrite another file (which there's no real need to). However, if you put it in as a custom path (for example, Units\Creeps\Goblin\Goblin.mdx), make sure you have the EXACT path typed in the "model path" field if you're using RoC. If you're using TFT, then just select that model from the Import Manager list when you open the Model Path field.

If you can't get it to work, make sure you're using the \ and not / I hope that helps!
