If you could upload the merged version, that would be great.
And I've tried both the skins.py and the skins.txt, and I've still got the white face issue.
I tried merging the two mods with openBRF, when it's loading it crashes and I get this:
"Incorrect mesh prefix for meta mesh copy:2 (ref:1)
and then
"unable to find face mesh: -1.000000"
Not sure what went wrong.
