so i downloaded

ok i downloaded some charictors from the wc3 search, the fiels look like a folder with a zipper on them and they got some fiels. so where would i place the new charictor fiels in the warcraft folder, ie just the warcraft folder, save, replay, redist, movies, maps or what?.
you get the idea. i havent downloaded guys befor so i DONT know what to do with these. can some one tell me where i need to send the fiels?

Hah, you have never dealt with Zip files before?

Okay goto www.download.com
Search for WinRAR
Download WinRAR (It is free)
Right click the .zip file you downloaded from wc3sear.ch
Select 'Extract to <Zip file name here>'
Now open your map in the WE
Select the 'Import' option from the top right of the main view
Select 'Import file..'
Goto that folder that you unzipped, and import the MDX and any BLPs
Double click each BLP file and rename thier path from wc3imported
<Filename>.blp to <Path inside the original folder>\<Filename>.BLP
Open the 'Object Editor' and choose the 'Model' field in the unit you want to change
Choose 'Imported' and select the MDX from the dropdown box.
Save your map, close the WE
Reopen the WE and your map.
Congrats, you now have the imported model

Side noes:
You can use WinZIP or the built in unzip program with WinXP instead of WinRAR
You can test your map before saving/closing the WE, however in the WE the model will only appear as a checkered box.

ok when i extrct it the same fiels come out as if i entered it in a norman way, so where do i place the fiels, what folder would i place them in? i think i have some sort of a auto unzip or some thing like that. i could be wrong.

WinXP lets you view the files in the Zip folder like any other folder; what you have just done is unzipped those files so that they can be used elsewhere. Now what you need to do is import them into your map, like I said.

ok ok i see it now, as you can tell ive never downloaded a unit from the wc3 search, the only units that i have goten were from other maps and just trasnfered them. well thanks for your help i realy needed it ( as you can tell )

ok i see 2 import fiels, one says ctrl I the second says ctrl shift I.
what one will i use?, also i need every one of the fiels in the import correct? ( im just makeing sure that way i dont mess up big time and start to jump up and down flailing my arms about like a mad ape )

I do not understand. Take screenshots with the 'PrintScrn' key on your keyboard and then post them at www.imageshack.us and give me the link.

when i right click in the import manager there are two things that say
import files, one right above the other. but i think one is if you had a flop and wanted to transfer from it to the comp. i think.
and i do need every one of the unit files in the manager right?

what do i do about a unit that will show its self in the editor but in testing it in a map all you see is the shadow, or what do i do about it only being shown as a big green box? do i have to edit some fiel to make it work or would i just have to delete it?

Ugh..You really should look for a tutorial on how to work the Import Manager..

Look, click 'Import File' not 'Import Files' then choose each skin/model individually. Then double click the /BLP file types ONLY and check the box next to 'Use custom path.' Now remove 'wc3imported' from the Pathname and change it to the pathname of the skin INSIDE the folder you Unzipped.

Side note: Don't double post, nasty thing to do. Use the edit button.
