There've been multiple threads on editing player face models, but none have led to a workable solution. One (link below) hints at a fix, but if it's there I'm not seeing it.

I know trey31's been working on the face models, but at some point a DAT-based face upgrade would be ideal. That can't happen unless there's a way to use new faces in the game.
I tried something as simple as replacing crappy faces with existing face models. I didn't decompress the files, just used the DFR to reinstall them in the garbage face slots. The game loaded, but after two or three plays in Practice mode it shut down.
Anyway, if this has been solved to the point where we can move face files to different slots, I'd love to hear how that's done.

Re: Player faces
The thread you listed explains exactly how to replace an existing face texture.
Replacing face models (3D model) is what trey is working.

Nothing in that thread clearly addresses my issue. I'm not editing anything. I haven't decompressed the face files, so the original file data is unchanged. I'm just trying to install these compressed files in different slots, and it crashes the game.
Re: Player faces
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Are you looking to change the face model (3d model) or the face texture?
Re: Player faces
I'm pretty sure just the texture would be involved. EDIT-- I guess I'm assuming the face's 3d model is controlled by the extra stuff in the TMDl, with the texture determined by the MMAPs. That would mean each face file is all-in-one, but given the issues I'm having, that's probably not the case.
I want to replace some of the less realistic faces with upgrades. So, for example, I inserted the compressed face #518 into the #199 slot. When I go into Create a Player the face looks fine, but in a practice I run two or three plays and the game crashes.
