I think the cliff texure path is
ReplaceableTextures\cliff

there are two different cliifs in each tileset, no matter what tileset you are using, the path is always:
ReplaceableTextures\cliff\cliff0.blp
or
ReplaceableTextures\cliff\cliff1.blp


Extract file, edit it, convert back, import and it should work.

Have you tried it? Did it work when you tried? I have done many things but the cliffs always stay the same.

I just tried what GAGA suggested and got it to work. What I did was find the cliff0 texture file using the "Warcraft 3 Viewer v2.2." First I made sure it opened the original war3.mpq, not expansion, and then using Ctrl-F I searched for the cliff0.blp. I extracted that file, converted it to tga, and editied it in photoshop. Then using one of the options in the programs menu I converted it back to a blp with the name cliff0 and imported it into the WE. Once in the TFTWE I set the path to ReplaceableTextures\cliff\cliff0.blp, saved the map, closed it, and reopened it to see that my change had taken effect.

This is what it looked like for me, all i did was scribble on the tga but you get the idea.

Thanks to the both of you. It does work, and it was so easy. I've been wanting to know how to do this for a while now.

If ya ever need a favor just ask.
