Here are the readme to FUBAR's Crew Skins. He high lights the the possible alterations you can make to your crew with this file, i.e. change faces, uniforms, hat on or off and so on. Have fun.
Good hunting,

FUBARS CREW SKINS
Thanks to Konrad Krumm for the use of his captians hat, faces and oilskins these make a great addition to this mod
Thanks also to Reece for the file of pics he gave me, they were very useful.
INSTALLATION:
Ready to use with jsgme mod installer or if you wish to install manually the Files are already
sorted in the appropriate folders. Just copy them to the
corresponding directories in your SH3 installation.
But remember to back up original files before you Install.
Used a number of references for these skins, pics, books some issues of signal and the film das boot.
To get the best out of these skins you will need to edit your crew config files.
1) You will need to make a knote of the names of you four main 4 officers so you will need to start your game and wright the names on paper
2) copy one of the crew config files to your desktop it dosn't matter which one, you will find them here silenthunterIII/data/Cfg folder
3) open this config file with notepad, scroll down and edit the line on each crew member where it says BodyTgaIdx=0 and change the 0 to a number between 0 and 7
changeing this number uses one of the eight skins I've supplied for the crew in this pack (dont edit the main officers theres no need, you should have there names on paper so you can see which not to edit).
4) If you whish to take off a crew members hat scroll down to the line that says HasHelmet=yes and change the yes to no, If you want him to have a hat leave the line so it reads HasHelmet=Yes.
5) once you have finished editing this crewconfig file make 11 copies and name them as list below (NAMES MUST BE CORRECT OR YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS)
crew_config_II_1
crew_config_II_2
crew_config_II_3
crew_config_VII_1
crew_config_VII_2
crew_config_VII_3
crew_config_IX_1
crew_config_IX_2
crew_config_IX_3
crew_config_XXI_1
crew_config_XXI_2
crew_config_XXI_3
6) Now put all 12 of your new crewconfig files here silenthunterIII/data/Cfg folder (BUT REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOU ORIGINAL CREWCONFIG FILES JUST IN CASE OF PROBLEMS)
ADDITIONAL HELP
heres part of one of my crewconfig files showing you which lines to change (just to make steps 3 and 4 clear)

HeadIdx=1
HeadTgaIdx=0-----------------change the 0 to a number between 0 and 7 to use one of eight different skins
BodyIdx=0
BodyTgaIdx=0
HasHelmet=Yes----------------leave this as HasHelmet=Yes if you want this crew member to have a hat or change it to HasHelmet=no if you dont want a hat
HelmetIdx=0
HelmetTgaIdx=0
VoiceIdx=4
7) I've also enclosed 4 jpgs which show what each skin file is called (the line of text at the bottom of each skin in the jpg pics)
and put a number in the top left corner of each skin jpg pic, this number is the number you would type when editing your crew config file if you wish to use that skin ie: type HeadTgaIdx=2 would use the skin named 03_Off_Body01_D
Hope this is clear FUBAR.
