Rhonda stretchy goggles fix?

[goblinglasses]

Hey guys. The DR Bug kinda bit me again and made me want to fool around with DR3. I'm thinking on doing a playthrough with my GF and for fun and I decided to try modding the co-op player into Rhonda, since my GF kinda likes her. Well anyways, I found Solidcal's Play as Angel with her voice thread and got an idea. I changed out all of Angel's models for Rhonda's stuff and it worked quite well! There's just one small glitch and I was wondering if any of you here had a solution. Rhonda's goggles aren't properly rigged (so it seems at least) and just sort of float in place regardless of what the rest of the model's doing.



TL;DR
Is there anything I can do to either fix or just eliminate Rhonda's goggles from her model entirely?
EDIT: I'm thinking of just editing her texture and making the goggle section transparent. Anyone got MarioKart64n's last maxscript so I can dump/repack the textures?

Thanks for your time!

Is it possible to make textures transparent if they're not slotted that way in the game?

I tried with one of Nick's costumes (making a long sleeve shirt short sleeved) and it turns out looking like clear plastic (eg spectral, the form is there but with transparent texture).

So by some sheer force of will, I've managed to get the textures out (figured out the OTR Injector hosted in the OTR section can at least extract textures) but now I can't repack them! Crashes Gibbed every time. Can't even repack vanilla files, for that matter. I'm really bustin' my ass on this one, lol. Am I missing something or just plain doing it wrong? At this point, any insight, tools and/or help would be awesome. I'd love to be able to just null out the vertices entirely, preferably but I'll accept anything that's at least less noticeable than what I've got going on right now. Please and thank you very much, guys!
