Skins - Editing Skins in GIMP

[810]

Hey i imported the felhound and i think i did everything correctly i followed the guide very strictly...

So now where do i find it in WE? under which pallette and such?

 

[Greenspace]

...im stuck...

So I've followed your tut and it's amazing I've learned how to skin, thank you very, very, very much, but I still have a problem. My problem is with the converting and import part. I can convert into the correct .blp format but if i click on the skin in the tree then it dissapears. I may be being a total airhead but I am genuinly confused. I've tried ignoring it and just going to the import manager and importing the skin, but that part dosen't make since to me. It seems that I should be importing a model WITH the skin, not the the skin itself.:banghead: I need someone to clear up the procedure like I am a kindergartener... please?<3

does it go in Model File???

this is kinda confusing around the end for me.

 

[comparami]

Is it possible to put other stuff on it rather than just coloring its body? So this skin will replace the red color felhound am i right?

Nice thread

I had some basic files missing with Image Extractor, and when i downloaded and installed the missing files my computer found a virus. Where can i get a version that works without i have to download missing files?

 

[Antizer]

How can i do this with Warcraft 3 Viewer? I can't use Image Extractor.

 

[Antizer]

Sorry for triple post!

To get a working Image Extractor, go to http://www.wc3campaigns.net/forums.php and find it in the tools section.

But when I have skinned, i can't load the skinned file with Warcraft 3 Viewer. Any idea?

PS. I repeat, i CAN'T use Image Extractor .

This tutorial is win. The GIMP is the ultimate skinner's tool due to its support for so many filetypes.

Save your file as Snakeward_Red, first of all.
Now, assuming you're using Warcraft 3 Viewer (which you should be! ), follow the path of Snakeward_Red up to the .mpq file. In the import manager, check "Use Custom Path" and set the path to that of the ward. (Example: Units\Human\Footman)

 

[bixybixy2]

ok im using "Warcraft 3 Image Extractor II" and it shows EXACTLY like the tutorial,and u saw the use custom path thing,it was a checkbox right?ok i clicked it,then hit ok/exit/w/e it was a few days so im foggy,but heres my question...do i save then exit BEFORE i put the skin on my custom unit,or AFTER i do that?

You can't link to images on a local hardrive. Upload them first.
