Problems with my head...

[Forx]

Not those kind of problems... ;P

I'm editing the Elvaan male head, F6-B. The orange hair with the spikey fringe and sideburns. Anywho, when I make even the slightest modification to the skin, all of the alpha vanishes and I'm left with a nasty black ring on the front of my head, and squares down the side of my face.

I've tried searching these forums to see if anyone knows how to fix this, but not had much luck. I've also tried everything that I could possibley think of. With an alpha channel filled purely with black (which you would think would make nothing appear) all that shows are the fringe and sides.

I hope someone out there can help me out with this problem, as I have been lurking on this forum for quite a while and have found it interesting myself.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm new here. Hey /wave.

Left is the normal head, the right is after I had made a few changes (I had done the hair too, but left it out to see if it was causing the problem, it wasnt...).

Also there are the skin for the modded head, and the alpha map I used (the alpha is the same as the original).

Thanks for your help.

Nope, I've done the alpha fine. It just keeps doing that to me. Followed the steps for doing it numerous times too. Yes, I am saving as (My Code Engine) and not S3. =\ I'll keep messing with it...

EDIT: Ok, fixed it. I downloaded the graphics converter again and it worked... Odd. Anyway, thanks for the help everyone! I'll put my mods up on show later. Now... Where can I find out how to export to 3DSM...

ANOTHER EDIT: So I got it into 3dsm... And guess what? It doesn't seem to like the alpha mapping now. I think I'm going to cry... >.<
