GUIDE: How to replace game images (splash screens,skins,...)

I am getting the same "milo explorer has encountered an error and needs to close" error message. I put the dll into my windows/system folder. How can I fix this issue and get Milo running?

EDIT

I ended up getting it running on my other PC, so I'll troubleshoot the first one later. A different question...

I am trying to make the front part of Axel's hair transparent so that it isn't hanging over the character's face. When I try to do this in Photoshop using the original bitmap, the alpha transparency remains the same as the original file when I view them in MiloExporter. I then tried creating a brand-new image in Photoshop, copied/pasted my modified hair over to it, and the entire thing is now showing as transparent in MiloExporter in the Alpha view, and thus the character has no hair at all in the game.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Why can I not create a brand-new image without the entire thing being transparent? I am saving as a 32 Bitmap.

Thanks!

YET ANOTHER EDIT

Nevermind, I figured out the Alpha Channel thing in Photoshop by playing around with the Channels pallette (go to Window>Channels if you cannot find it).

A different question now... is there anything I can do to stop Axel's mouth from opening and closing? I want it to be closed the entire time. Thanks!

I still have the crashing problem... can't even run 3.0 or 3.1. Just crashes on start.

Any help?

I'm interested in the difference of xbox milo files and ps2 milo files. Would it be possible to extract the ps2 file and change a header in the xbox file so it can be opened? Changing the splash screens in the 360 version would be awesome especially with my own version of GH: Metallica lol

hi , i'm really new by here and my english is not awesome (i'm Brasilian) \o/

Well, when i downloaded the miloexplorer 3.1b , i learned by this topic how to do the necessary changes in the game.

But, when i change a TEX file (in the case , BMP) in a guitar for example, the image is "inverted" "upside down" "horizontal" , and reading this topic (or other, i don't remember) i see a post like , "Les Paul custom bla bla bla, "Need Horizontal/vertical flip". What i need to do ?

Thx and help me with my custom (already 30 musics in 6 mouths \o/)

thx and bye

I downloaded Milo explorer and I put on d3dx9_36.dll. I put them in the same folder on my desktop and I went on MiloExplorer as it came up with an error. And when I move the error window to the side and I open the file,it shows all the number stuff but when I click on the 3d option in the corner it comes up with a black screen and not the model.I'm very mad and I want to make skins.can anyone help me or tell me if i did anything wrong?
