1) IN A CINAMATIC THERE IS A PICTURE OF A UNIT TALKING, HOW DO I PUT MY OWN CUSTOM MADE PICTURE IN, INSTEAD OF THAT ONE (THE USUAL W3 CHARACTER) ?

first off, that's not a picture, its a 3d model.

secondly, you can change it, but that means you permanently change it for that unit (i guess thats what u might want to do)

i can explain how to do it if you dont mind extracting and importing files from the war3.mpq file.

oh yeah, and thirdly, NEVER type your entire post in caps again, its annoying.

Okay, Then Please Tell Me How, I Dont Care Extracting And Stuff?

Ok, so you have to open up war3.mpq first.

Now what you are looking for are files with the extension .mdx, which are 3d models. You will see that there are lots of mdx files for units listed there, and you will also see that for every unit there is a portrait mdx file associated with it.

For example:

The arthas unit model is:

units\human\arthas\arthas.mdx

and the associated portrait is:

units\human\arthas\arthas_portrait.mdx

Now what you have to do is find the portrait that you want, and extract it into any folder on your hard drive. Then simply rename it to the name of the unit portrait you want it to show up for. Once this is done, then simply import that file into your map, making sure you put it in the exact same path that you got it from in war3.mpq.
