I Need Custom Skins

Help I Dont Really Know What I'm Doing Sorry I Havent Posted Here Before, But I Need To Know If Anyone Knows Any Sites Where It Has A Gallery Of Skins For Units In Warcraft 3, I'd Like To Add Them To My Map

I Dont Know How To Use Them I've Tried Following Draco's Tutorial On It, Ive Done That But I Dont Know How To Get It On The Hero...

Im Lost :(

If you have the Frozen Throne, open the World Editor and the map you want, hit Import Module under the Modules menu. Import the skin, and double click it. Then, click the use custom path check box, and type in the path for the skin. For example, to replace the Grunt, type in Units/Orc/Grunt/Grunt.blp
Its a bit more complex than that, and the paths are all different, for example the NE Archer is in the path Textures/Ranger.blp.

I don't have anymore time right now, but if still need help later I will clarify.

How am i supposed to know what the path is, when it doesnt say anywhere when you get the model/skin, im new to importing things, but i think it could do a great deal to my map, ive managed to get a few working, such as the Nightmare model, The Cannon, Sword Jania, and An Arthas, but i think i fluked all of those, any help would be appreciated

And one other thing, how do you put a weapon into the hand of a unit, using the special effects trigger, could someone post a basic idea of how the trigger should go, and do i need command paths for the item lookalikes to.

Okay, I've got time to fully explain this now. Download the WC3 Image Extractor 2, and look for the skin you want to replace. This is going to require some hunting around in the files, so be prepared. Then, look at the path, which is the directory structure where you found the skin, like the Grunt is in "Units/Orc/Grunt/Grunt.blp". Then, Import the replacement skin into the map, and give it the path you got from the Image Extractor.

Did you:

• Import the Skin?
• Set the skin path to Units/Human/Jaina/Jaina.blp?
• Save the map?
• Load the map in War3?

If you just import the skin and try and look at the model in the WE it won't show up until you quit WE and reload it. However, if you installed it properly, when you play the map it will show up.

And please, quit it with the italics.

Ok ive tried, it over and over, ive mainly been tryin to work on this jania.blp, now you said i should go to Units\Human\Jania\Jania.blp, which i have done, then when i select jania and start the map it always ends up being the old jania still, this isnt fair :(

oh and i like italics :D

if possible could you post a map, which has a working version of the lahmian vampire skin, its a dark vapire looking jania, thanks

That right there is your problem. It should be Units\Human\Jaina\Jaina.blp

And now, cut it out with the bold. Use it for emphasis. Please, you're making me crazy.:////

dont forget the glitch in the editor, you must save and exit and open the map again to see the skin on the unit

This deservers bold, it worked isntantly lol

thx heaps man, so what exactly was i doin wrong, and how about making a demon keeper of the grove working? :D

Textures/KeeperoftheGrove.blp for the keeper. Also, get the Warcraft 3 Image Extractor II so you can find the paths yourself. That way you get extract, edit, and import the skins yourself.

Hey guy that is in despair. The file I attached has all the path's for the Frozen Throne.

nice! could you blend that with the roc list as well, that would be even better!

hey everyone this my 1st time posting and i really want to know how to import custom skins to a game

i dont understand the whole units/jaina/jaina.blp or w/e stuff if somewould be so nice as to give me the complete file name i would be very happy
