You type in .blp. Mdx is models, blp is skins.

k, but here is my problem....i'm not really sure if i need this kind of path : unit/human/heropaladin/heropaladin ( just example) or : textures/heropaladin, which i saw someone saying that was the right to do!! so, i dont know which one works for skin...and on the importer i just put the path(what ever kind it is ) and them .blp?
and after i know the right path, and i put .blp , do i just close everything( saving of course) and reopen?


PLZ guys, help me on this, cause i'm not a total noob, but i get confused sometimes...ty very much

Aardvark-
OK first try Units\(Race)\(Unit Name)\(Unit Name).blp . If that doesnt work, try Textures\(Units Name).blp. Only like 1/6 of the units use the textures\(unit name).blp path.

Or you could just get an entire list of all the paths like the one draco made. I'll post again once i find the link to it.

Edit: Ok i found it you can get all the paths here

ty dude, VERY much....but the thing u didnt say, after i put path, and .blp, i just close everything, right? and restart editor!?!

Aardvark-
oh yeah, i didnt read that part. Yeah you got it right. Get the path right close world edit (after saving and all), open it back up and it should be there on worldedit. It will be ingame whether you close and open again or not. Thats only if you want to see it in world edit.
