Problems with skins

[inevit4ble]

Hi Every1,

I having troubles with only a few skins which don't appear in or out of game.
I know I'm doing it "right" because all the other skins I have used have had no problems. Some show in and out of game and other only in game.

I think perhaps the file paths are the problem here, but wouldn't the author of the file always give the correct path?

Not sure...any help please

What do you mean? In a WE?

I dunno why as well but if they r working in game then u have to reopen your world editor to see them. If that's what u mean.

The paths are very likely the problem.
Make sure the custom path you used is correct.

Even if it is not listed along with the skin download, you can always find it out if you know what model's skin it is going to replace.
The custom path will be Textures\<specificForEachModel>.

You can find this out by looking through an MPQ browser and navigating to the Textures file. The names are pretty self-explanatory, but sometimes are not OBVIOUS to the point that you can just guess them.

Also, if you want me to find the path for you, just post here...I could get around to it.

Cool. Ye I did a bit more digging into it and found out of the 50 odd skins only 3 didn't want to work but they were unapproved on the forum so I believe the authors did make a mistake.

To find the path I just go to the object editor, select the model it uses and then go back into the field and it shows me the model name so I will try again by renaming the path to Textures/<x>, and see if they work but its a minor problem.

Thanks for the responses

if you run into other issues with skins or models make sure to save the instant you import them, this fixxed my problems, also some skins will show in game without showing in the editor, id run wc3 and check them, game tests through we can also cause glitches with skins and models
