Yes, sorry to waste someones time with such a question...but I do alot of 3d graphics for my classes, and I have created some for this mod that I would like to use. My problem is, I am not a very good programer or data-base editor.

Looking through the art xmls, I can see where I need to make edits to replace skins however the folders they point to dont exist, for example: /Units/Heroes/Acheron/dragon.nif. I figure that means /assets/art/units/heroes (etc), however that folder doesnt exist. Is there something I am missing? Please help.
 
Those are probably taken out of the Pak0.pak file. It is a zipped file with the game resources. It is possible to link it directly from that folders you have mentioned but here some one with better moding skils will have to help you.
 
the game engine reads those links and checks the actual physical folders, if they dont exist, it will look into the pak file.
so, by creating the physical folder and placing an appropriate file into it, you will be able to use this file instead of the existing file in the pak.
if you want to modify a file, you will have to unpak the pak first.

may i ask what kind of things you created?
perhaps you wanna show them :)
