Firelord model

[AdamGriffith]

What is the path to the firelord model and is it War3.mpq or War3x.mpq.

The game says it is:
Units\Creeps\HeroFlameLord\HeroFlameLord

But I can't find that =/
(Using an MPQ editor)

its War3xPatch (could be War3Patch, it definitely has patch after it though) since Firelord only came into WC3 TFT in an update IIRC

Buggar.
Those don't have listfiles. =[

What are you talking about? There is a War3Patch.mpq file. If you are using War3 Model Editor, just go to Windows tab and click MPQ Browser. Then click File and select War3Patch

How do I use custom skins?

as far as i know you have to import the skin and change the path to the original one.

OFFTOPIC: n1 desktop flare

I have...
In the MPQ it's:
Textures\HeroAvatarFlame.blp

And that's what I changed it to in WE.
But It doesn't seem to change the skin =S

Inside World Editor, load the Import Manager under the Module menu. Click on File, Import and open the BLP file that you just saved. Now you need to change the custom path. Double click the item inside the import manager, and check the box that says Use Custom Path. Change the path to the EXACT path the original skin was in. For our project, it will be Units\Human\Sorceress\BloodElfSorceress.blp

@jnz: I know

You do not need to overwrite an already existing model, if that was what you meant?

I saw this great tutorial about the subject made by some kid that works, I hope that will help (or maybe its to basic)

Hmmm it seems that it doesnt change it in world edit.
But when I tested it the skin was different!
Weird... oh well
Thanks guys

also copy the .blp into your warcraft 3 root folder and maybe restart WE, that should help

You shouldn't do that.
