importing skin problem plz help

[guitarplay]

i have this problem u see, i have used gimp to edit a skin , right

it is an assassin skin and i wanted to convert it into a blp file so i used warcraft 3 veiwer, it worked but i imported it and used a custom path, i want it to be on teh sorcoress model, so i used custom path

units\human\sorceress\assassin1.blp

it converts it into a .blm when i want to set the art model of teh sorceress and then it says canot load file . . . and has a weird box in teh editor which becoms only a shadow in the game

what is my problem and how do i fix it

I'm not able to check in on this, but didn't you have to actually replace the actual sorc .BLP with your modified one. I'm pretty sure there's no assassin1.blp in the warcraft sorc tree

yeah i know heres the thing thgough, i imported it but teh problem is, when i want to make the soreress into what i imported it says tehre are no imported files that can be used. . .

what do i do so that i can import it to the soreress, i edited it in gimp and athen i made into blp from wc3 veiwer, so what do i do

You need to make it match the exact path/file name of the skin that you're trying to replace.

You were on the right track with units\human\sorceress\ - but you need to match the .BLP you want to overwrite with the one that is in there.

You can get the name if you go into Warcraft 3 Viewer and bring up the Sorceress model and you should see the name of the associated blp

make sure that path is correct, and also, can you take a skin from one char and put on another, wouldnt it look like poo?

the only thing that could be wrong is the path and that you are using the correct unit in game, check those both

i have checked the path u see it shows up right in the editor, but not in the game, and its not realy an assasin u see, its a thing i got off-line, and its quite cool, can u plz tell me what is rong here cause i am quite confused, the file anme is fine, along with both paths i put in for the skin on object editor and in the import manager itself

...along with both paths i put in for the skin on object editor and in the import manager itself

What? You put the skin in the Object Editor? Where? You generally don't.

 

[Razthemapper]

Umm... only MODELS are put in Object Editor! You only have to IMPORT the skin with the CORRECT path and done!

plz dont hate me but in haste at 12:30 in the morning (still am u know what i mean)
i accidentaly said "object editor" i meant "import editor" hope that clears things up i havent been getting much sleep the last few night sry
