I had this problem once! If it is tga look for an option thing bfore you save your work, there should be a compression style thing in the preferences.

That should work

Did someone say "rinpun"?

I apologize for my lateness, I do suppose I was lazy

Anyway, you need to import the skin into the import manager. Then, you double-click on the imported image and do a custom path. Change the path to EXACTLY how you see it in the extractor (Textures\HeroBladeMaster.blp for instance will replace the Orc Blademaster model). And, don't forget to close your world editor and reopen it. For whatever reason, the whole darn program needs to restart before you can see a skin, model, or pretty much anything custom.

ok but in the unit-art where do i apply the skin to a unit?




EDIT:ADD-ON: can you make a signtuatre to auto-go on the bottem of your posts? if so how

 

[Rinpun]

You CAN'T. It's in the unit's mdl/mdx, which you have to go through a complex process to get. If you want to reskin a model, you HAVE to set its custom path to the path the model wants.

Auto Signatures are only available to Hosted Mappers.

is there a tutorial on this? or is this that tutorial on unwarping skins and such..i hope its not i read that and left more confused than before

-last bumb and question is there a tutorial on this?

 

[Rinpun]

Look around. If it's not here, it's on wc3sear or wc3campaigns.

The problem with turning the thing into an mdl so as to change the skin path is that you lose all of the animations.

Dang it man, it's simple skinning. Open up Extractor and look at the FOLDERS. You need that for your skin!
