Okay if just finished my skin and saves it as a .tga file. So now wat do i do? I've read one of the tutorials (Skin Editing i think its called) and its says to do sumthing with the file and my map, but i cant figure out what it wants me to do. Plz help and tell me how to do whatever needs to be done.

It wont save as a .blp ... it stays as a .mpq.tga file. And when i type the file name as DemonHunter.blp it comes up with some message saying "Run Time Error" "File not found"

I cant find the path for the demon hunter... this is what i have done so far.

1.) Change to .tga
2.) Edited the Unit/Textures for a Demon Hunter
3.) Saved as a .blp

and thats all i have gottin up to.

Can u tell me what the path is? And if that is all i need to do...

IT IS STILL NOT WORKING... I DID ALL THIS

1.) Export Textures
2.) Change to a .tga file with Image Extractor
3.) Recolored in Photoshop CS
4.) Opened Image with Viewer and saved as a .mpq.blp
5.) Went to WE
6.) Imported file DemonHunter.mpq.blp
7.) created custom path: Units\NightElf\HeroDemonHunter\HeroDemonHunter.blp
8.) Saved map
9.) closed WE
10.) Loaded WE and put the model on to a Custom Demon Hunter.

But its not showing... what did i do wrong?
