Making Custom Faces appear im multiplayer

[Xalarth 0]

I have just finished the tutorial in making a custom face, but I'm not sure as to what to do now. Can someone help? Thanks.

*Edit* I want my face to show up in multiplayer, as a totally new character (like a 5th person to choose from, instead of only 4, and have that 5th character any class I want). Is there any way to do that?

Dont know how famaliar with Igor/GR folders you are so hopefully this is simple (if suck eggs - apologies). If I remember correctly (too much drink lately...)

ALWAYS avoid changing the originall files - copy them before modifing !

* Make a Actor of You (putting your face .rsb file as the Actors face - blink .rsb isnt needed but is nice), and select which class you wanna be.

Use Igor for this

* Now put this actor in the "MP Actors File" section of the Actors folder, under Platoon1, change the .atr file name to be something like "mp_plt1_me"

* make a new Kit restrictions file, call it "My Mod" or something. Use Igor for this

* Open up the your new .kil file, using Notepad. Copy the "mp_plt1_asl" section in Platoon1 into Platoon1 again. Change the name to the same name as your Actor file ("mp_plt1_me" or whatever) and if want to copy across the kits that you wanna us from one of the other lists already their, into your own list.

This is a basic verion of how to do it. Try mixing up the kits (or making your own kits and use them for yourself - will need always to do this via notepad thou).

Hopefully I havent missed anything - if did just post

Thanks for replying... I'll try that. Now, if I could only find the rsb I made...

Which root folder am I supposed to put the rsb's in? Origmiss, Mp1, or Mp2? Another thing, which folder(s) have the attachments (head, neck, etc. , and the optional desert models)? And a Question about the LOD 1-4 , 1-3 for desert, that are they for? I know I sound like I'm droning on, maybe I am, but I have 1 nore thing, and hopefully the last, what do I do about the XYZ model scale multipliers?

Ok, I have it now, or at least partially. I have my actor file created, I had to use notepad for part of that, because Igor Actor Editor doesn't have a 'Jungle Face thingy'. I just put the Jungle face in with Notepad. Then I edited my no_restrictions.kil (after backing up, or course), put myself as a support, gave myself all the weapons that the support expert has (28, the last 4 work perfectly, in general). The no_restrictions.kil I edited is in the Mp2 folder. I started GR, and my actor is there, but I only have 16 kits, (4 kits of 4 weapon packs). That happens with ALL of the actor types (Rifleman, Demo, Support, Sniper). All were apparently chosen at random . Where did I screw up? Someone please answer.
