There's dark Trent and Alien Sampler that comes with the newest version of FLMM. It changes Trents head and clothes, and give dealers differnt faces like Darth Maul.

There was a tutorial and I can't find the link. Is it at the Freeworld forum?

simply extract the textures and edit them with eg. photoshop
put the textures back in the dfm
et voila
new face

i recommend using DDS files instead of the stock tga's - simply because it saves the labor of resizing the file over and over again.also, if you're making a clone(eg you want it to appear different when in the same room as its template model) you need to rename the materials in its file - just search around with the UTF editor and find the mat references, you don't need modelcloner

Finalday I am aware of the Dark Trent mod but I don't like that mod very much because it messes up the whole game. I don't want people running around with Darth Vaders head and similar things. Not to mention having a main character with red eyes!!

All I'd want is Trent with a bit longer hair, maybe different hair color and a bit different eyebrows. Thats all.

Anyway what program should I use to extract files? I am not really into Freelancer graphic modding but I am a quick learner.

the UTF editor(see the stickied utilities thread) - you'll also need nvidia DDS plugin to generate your new DDS files, its designed for photoshop but if its installed correctly(directory name differs from PS' "plug-ins" to PSP's "plugins" folders)it works with paintshop too.one more basic, DDS files are named .tga in the texture library, so the way to distinguish them is that true targas are always in a MIP0/1/etc node whereas DDS is in a MIPS node because it contains all its own mipmaps. also, making trents hair physically longer isn't possible, although you could make a helmet like wig for him - but, you probably meant lengthening its texture
