[HELP] with villagerman!

[morno]

i have made a skin for villagerman and i can't get the skin to work.. here is the TGA file of my remade skin and the orginal file.. im useing WC3 Viewer to export the skin..

im useing the path Units\Critters\VillagerMan\VillagerMale.blp

 

[Exide]

It says:
Attached files:
'VillagerMale.BMP'

.BMP can't be right? You need to convert it to .blp and import it into your map.. I think.. Not sure about models. Models might end with .mdl or something. I know icons use .blp, though.
Either way, .BMP sounds wrong to me.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure it should be .mdl, that's what WC3 models end with.

Maybe you're using the wrong custom path, take a look at this tutorial:
http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28840

Also, my bad. Apparently .blp works as well. I never imported models.

its not a MODEL! its a SKIN! a skin for a model

And the name of the tutorial (see above) is 'How to Import a Skin', as I said, I've never done it so I don't have a clue. Check out the Tutorial..

i know how to make em.. i just need the path for villagermen.. thats all

 

[Exide]

units\critters\VillagerMan\VillagerMan

is the custom path of Wc3's standard 'Villager (Male)'.
According to the Tutorial you should use the path:

'Textures\MountainGiant.blp'

So my guess is that you replace MountainGiant with VillagerMale, or something similar..

yes its for village male
