Skinning my face onto a Ghost

[cobaltbluesteel 0]

I have followed the tutorial on the website (Modding your Face) but when I run the game and try to select my guy to play it crashes to desktop. I read the FAQ but to be honest I didn't find it too helpful (as I'm crap when it comes to log files etc..)

One thing I did notice however, in the last few lines of the log is that format RSsomethingsomething isn't supported. (I can't check exactly what it said cos I'm at work and my beady-eyed manager is giving me a hard time) Even if she weren't I couldn't check cos I don't have GR on my work 'puter.

I'm using Paintshop Pro v7 with the RSB plugin I found at Fileplanet, and if I had to guess I'd say there's a problem with the settings I'm using to save the image after editing it. I've tried it with 16bit, 24bit, blended Alpha (as I read that some RSB converters destroy the Alpha Channel you need) but to no avail. Can somebody help me please?

Post the last few lines of Ike.log here.

just leave the settings as the default settings i leave mine at the 16 bit and everything else except check for alpha

If you have any ideas Ruin, I'd really appreciate the help..

Alsso.. to Whisperxox: which option do you use in the Blend Alpha pulldown menus? I've tried it with "zero" and "one"

Thanks guys

Wierdest part is that it can't find your intro movie. lol.

Did you copy and paste this right after a crash?

Also; I'm not sure how old the plugin on fileplanet is. If you have Island Thunder, grab the plugin off of there. It may say it's for PS but it works for PSP also.

Give that a whirl, and when you save it DO NOT touch ANY settings. LEave them as is; this is only when you use a new plugin; don't do this on the one you have or it wont help you much, lol!

Hi Ruin.

Yep, the log was taken literally two or three seconds after the crash. I dunno why but it used to put the Surface Formats Supported part at the bottom and the other bits nearer the top (don't know if that matters....probably not)

I don't have IT or DS. I so wish I did but I got Ghost Recon then my CD Drive packed in so I need to get it fixed before I buy the other games. I dunno why I'm so into getting my face onto one of the Ghosts, I should really get back to concentrating o finishing the mission I was making first. I just saw that tutorial by chance called modding your face and I couldn't resist. Now I'm totally sidetracked with it

It wasn't five minutes ago I was asking for help in the forum on making a mission. Aahahhhh there's just so much stuff you can all do and I'm rubbish... hehe!

Anyhow, if and when I finish my mission, I'd like to put it on Ghost Recon.net and see what people think, so I'm going to concentrate on that and get it done before I bother with the skinning anymore

Try this plugin.

I believe that's the correct one.

Im happy to see that someone's reading my tutorial. Yeah, use that plug-in Ruin mentioned. And it should work, if you have any more problems just e-mail me.
