Model needed for hologram

I'm having a rather annoying problem im hoping to get assistance on.
Here is where I am at for you to better understand me and what my problem is.

Im editing a base model named weequay.
I opened it in ModView and looked at the surface tree on the left.
I scrolled down to see if there were any unused hair surfaces for the Ghoul2.

I saw three things that came to my liking.

head_r_hairback_off
head_r_hairshoulder_off
head_l_hairshoulder_off

I turned thease on by right clicking them in the tree... wrote a model.mvs...opened the model.mvs to see this:

Code:

loadmodel 

{ 

   name      "model" 

   modelfile   "models/players/weequay/model.glm" 

   oldskinfile   "default" 

   surfaces_on 

   { 

      name0   "head_r_hairback_off" 

      name1   "head_r_hairshoulder_off" 

      name2   "head_l_hairshoulder_off" 

   } 



}

So i looked at the model_default.skin and saw that they were already inthere with the correct paths.

My problem: i know how to remove surfaces by using a .skin file, But i don't know how to add them. I'm assuming that i would have to rename the Surfaces in a modeling program.

so again, im trying to Add:
"head_r_hairback_off"
"head_r_hairshoulder_off"
"head_l_hairshoulder_off"

Any help from anyone with a true understanding would be wonderful.

Also.... I'm having the same problem for the saboteur model. there is what apears to be a face plate that is turned off i would love to have that on please help lol.

The only way i've been able to turn surfaces on is to edit the .glm with an hexa decimal editor.

Unfortunately i dont remember the exact value to look for.

Hmmmmm That would be very useful...I'm hoping someone else remembers how to because i need either of the two to work to finish a sick map ive made for BWN

turning a surface on should be as easy as assigning a texture to it in the .skin file.....I think.

Its not that simple tho....

Correct. There has to be that surface there, and it has to be mapped with a texture ready to be put on it though.
