But the question bears repeating... well anyway, some people recently have been telling me how great Wc3Viewer is for viewing skins, and well I'm very stubborn sometimes.. but I want to give it a whirl now.

So my question is.. how is this accomplished? Is there a thread somewhere already explain this? I did a search and couldn't find a hit with the keywords I was using.

Thanks for any info.

Just download it from the download section and open it. If it wont find the mpq file, just choose open mpq and choose it manually. Then there appears a list of all the skins. Just choose one and look at it or extract it and open it with Photoshop.

To view a skin open the model of the unit you have skinned. Say footman.mdx go to Current file of something at the top bar I forgot what it was. Looks around for "remap" click it and you'll have a box with all the textures. Look for the main skin "blah/footman.blp" Highlight it and click change look for your skin "myfooman.tga" Click ok and your done. Remap can opens tgas aswell as blps.

To best view your skins go to
View/Shadows
View/Axis
This turns off some extra crap and make your skin brighter.
