skinning help

1337neil · 12-05-2003, 03:43 AM

Well, I was following the skinning guide by pencilgod, I got confused with all the files and where they go, like this step Move your map to the mpq2k dir.. Where should I be saving my files and the programs I download? what is mpq2k and how do I save in the mpq2k dir? I think I already edited the skin right...but I think the unit editor program is for pre-tft, because the raider is called a wolf rider.:(

can some write me a new easier guide for idiots like me? So what exactly is my mpq2k directory? I'm kinds confused, I think I edited the skin right, I made a grunt with pants. So then I open it in image extractor and save it over the old grunt? I did that but when you click on the grunt tab it opens the regular grunt...I'm totally confused and I want to do this.:bangH:

Ok, I have lot's of questions, so if you know what you're doing will you please email me so I can set up a time for you to help me step-by-step on AIM
