Im no mapper, no skinner but some skins look just cool and i want to use em in Wc3.
My problem is that in the war3x.mpq all files are names File000001 File000002... so i cannot just replace the Bpls.. can anyone help me?
,Thank you Brennnssel

You want to use custom skins instead of the normal for any game you play?

The MPQ isn't like that if you actually look at it with MPQ viewer, but I'm not sure if you'd be corrupting the game files by changing the MPQ, which may prevent you from playing.

I think that you could do everything ok in singleplayer if you replaced stuff, but you could only play custom on multiplayer with people that have the same .mpq

I just had the wrong MPQ programm.. and if the files have the same name i can play it online with custom skins..
btw i know that others cant see the skins

yeah, you can edit the mpq, then if u play online it should still work so long as all you did was replace skins\models, after all its only visuals. So you'd see the custom stuff and the other people wouldnt. But i'm not positive about that.
