Special sprites/skins WC3

Hi

I'm trying to make a little map for me and my friends to play in WC3.
But i want to use some special skins. Does some 1 know where i can get final fantasy skins ??

And i saw the skins on this site and i loved them
But if i download some of them and then what ?? in what file do i need to put them (errors/movies/replay/save/support/download/redist/maps/screens/logs)

And the program for making your own skins:: do you realy have to do it trough photoshop or something else because i dont know anything of photoshop, is there an other way to make your own skins ??

If you know the anwser please answer here or send an e-mail to [email protected]
thanks already

Hello. Try and structure your posts a little better, there's something a bit annoying about the way it is now.

Anyways, I like your cause - it's admirable that you are making maps just for your friends and stuff :)

To import skins you need to use the Import Manager. Use it to import the skin file into your map. Now double-click the file you imported and in the box that pops up tick "Use Custom Path".

Now, in this box you need to type the path of the skin file you are overriding. This may have been included with the download, whether it be in a txt file or one the web page. If not, then you need to use an MPQ editor (available from the Resources>Tools section of this very website) to find out the path of file.
It's just a case of typing it in the box, saving, and then restarting WE (you won't see any changes until you restart the application).

Just about any image editing software (yes, including that mspaint thing that comes with Windows) can be used to edit skins.
However you will probably need something a bit more advanced. Apart from PSP you may want to try GIMP or Paint .NET.

Yes, MSPaint CAN be used to create skins BUT you definatly shouldn't. Really. Not a good idea.

If you find importing skins/models hard in the beginning, don't worry it's confusing for everyone. It's easy as hell once you get used to it.

Thanks for the anwser DALE!NBLACK !!

but where do i get Import Manager ???
and maybe if you want:, can you make an icon of Sephiroth looking angry :D


BTW srry for the late reply was busy with work :(
Thanks already

The import manager comes along with Warcraft III World Editor (TFT I think)... Just click the import manage icon the looks like two papers with folded top-right corners and a green arrow on it or you can just press the hotkey(F12).

The import manager icon looks like this:

hehe thats the problem i dont got TFT only got ROC
so can i get it without the expension ??

sure! just hit F12!

try to experiment a bit more on your own before asking though, as you could have answered these questions for your own...

Ow man F12 doesn't do anything in Warcraft III Reign of Chaos World Editor !!


so i ask again how do i import the skins in to the map ??
maybe without TFT expension !!

Dude, just buy TFT. It's not that expensive.

You can use MPQ editors and put the stuff in and edit SLK's and put them in too for custom stuff and...

In the end, get TFT. It's not worth doing anything in RoC.
