Import skins

[MidnightGLOW]

How do I import custom skins? Like what do I set the Custom path as?

Thanks - MidnightxGLOW~!

read this

try reading that, it might help...

Hmm, what if I downloaded a skin? what would be the original path?

Use wc3viewer or some other MPQ browser program to find out which skin path your model uses. Then you just import your new skin using that path and it will replace that standard skin.

umm on wc3viewer where does it say the path that it uses?

warcraft 3 image extractor II is better i think

with warcraft 3 viewer you use the treeview to open the model that it uses, and then under the 'current file' tab you can see 'show used texture names'. It'll have a bunch of textures probably, but you only need the main path (for example with the arthas model the main arthas texture is 'Textures\Arthas.blp')... you just set the skin path to whatever that is.

If you are importing a custom model that uses a custom texture then you set the skin path to whatever it says to where you downloaded it from. Most sites that host skins have the correct paths listed for you to use.

Umm, I can't select 'Show used texture names' it's grey writing.

probably because you haven't opened a model to view

 

[MidnightGLOW]

Hmm, this is what it looks like.

Yeah, that's because you are opening your custom skin...... use the treeview to open the MODEL that your custom skin is supposed to go on (in this case open the ghoul model). When you do that you click on those tabs to show you the skin paths for the standard model, then copy the path and use it as the import path on your custom skin in the world editor.
