I made a skin and imported it, changed the directory from the import thing, and created a unit, and set the model to units\nightelf\HeroMoonPriestess\PriestessOfTheMoo n.blp and it can't find the model because the model is HeroMoonPriestess.mdl and after several hours of beating wc3 we kicked my ass... How do I make skins work using tft importing thingy and the object editor?

You must not change the model path.

Either you edit the model file and change the path of the texture (units\...\PriestessOfTHeMoon.blp") to a custom path which is the target of your imported blp, which means you'd have to extract the model, convert it to a mdl file, edit it, and import it into we.
Or you edit the registry and enable custom files for wc. The problem is, I don't know the registry key, but it's flying around in the forums somewhere.

Gah it's With TFT I got it to work before not editing MDL/MDX or MPQ files.
And I'm replacing old skins so I shouldnt need to edit the mdl.

I tried what you said and edited the model's path but now when I set it as custom it sets it to .mdl instead of .mdx so wolrd edit cant find it. Even if I change the path to .mdl in the import manager. :(

I've been having these types of problems with a skin too.

Yeah I know I just already had it as that. Blah I think I got it figured out but I havent been playing wc3 as much so it doesnt really matter.
