yeah, sorry about the links. i was trying to add the images of what was happening to the mesh to the post, but steam is weird and decided to get rid of them despite the fact that they're just totally innocuous discord links. maybe i'll try uploading the images to steam directly and then link them then? i dunno.

as for your suggestion, it unfortunately didn't work. i actually got into contact with a few people in order to help me with this issue, including the guy who made the blender addon i'm using to export the mesh as a PSK, and we've concluded that it seems to be an issue of the mesh's data getting corrupted upon being imported to POSTed. as of now neither i nor any of them have been able to figure out a fix for it, but i haven't given up yet, i'm just hoping it isn't an issue intrinsic to the editor that can't be circumvented like i'm suspecting it may be.

thanks for the response though, hopefully this turns out to be something i can fix. i'm gonna be really bummed out if it turns out that i put all that effort into a custom head mesh for nothing LOL

UPDATE: after talking with a few people from the old unreal server a bit more, we finally figured out the issue! apparently it had something to do with unweighted vertices. normally in unreal engine vertices that aren't attached to any specific bone are weighted to the root bone (to my knowledge), but since postal operates on a slightly older version of unreal engine, it doesn't do that. as a result, the mesh gets all screwed up. however, it can be fixed by going in and manually fixing the unweighted vertices.

since then, the creator of the blender addon i've been using has released an update that accounts for this weird quirk of postal's engine. just thought i'd post an update to this situation in the very unlikely case that there might be someone out there who's experiencing the same problem lol.
