How do you import skins

[Clive]

Problem veiwing a skin

What i want to do is import a crossbow men from another map but when ever i try to import it always say "invalid id missing 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44"

Please give me the step by step to import and exporting the skin correctly
and where i import it and what file i should save it under thankyou.

Ok I because im not sure i exported it right i'll just upload the map that has it
the unit i want is the crossbowmen under human custom unit. The map is Europa

Put the files in a zip and upload for us.. we dont know what skin it is

first is it .blp format?
second, what map are you exporting from?
you can save (export) it in any folder you want (i preffer making a skins folder in te warcraft folder.
then open your map, and import it from the folder you exported it to. i think the path for it is "textures/units/crossbow man/crossbow man.blp" or you can just use the same path as the skin you overrighting (find that in the war3 image extracter).

If it has a model (Which Im sure it does givin theres no crossbow models... well there is gnoll but thats hardly a man) open it with NOTEPAD. Dont save it at all, but look about 10 lines down. It should show a few paths with a bunch of spacing...

ex:

balbahlablahlbablahblhalbhalbh Textures\Rifleman.blp           
             gutz\blp 
                                                        textures\gunshot.blp

Then you would import all the files listed. If the MPQ already has a file then you dont need to (Unless your overwriting it)

Then save and restart your map and see if it worked

This is getting old... I can see my crossbowman in the editor but i can't see him in the game he's just a shadow

Thats very odd... not sure why it would do that. Had that happen to a footman once though, just showed his team color. Try doing it all over, maybe changing the blp format iono.
