Default Hair problem! :(
I'm trying to make this hair in TSRW, but although everything looks well in MilkShape, in game we can see some distortions.
Please help me.

It looks like a mapping issue, when you say it looked fine in milkshake do you mean with textures?

Yes, with textures! They don't look like that in Milkshape.

I had the same problem and the only way I found was to remap those spots where's the issue it may not be visible in milkshape, but it will be in game

if the hair looks ok in Milkshape then you should check the boneassignements on the vertices.

I doubt it's bone assignments, everything above the neck must be assigned to the head. It's probably just a mapping issue. Select faces (not vertices) in that spot and click Window>Texture Coordinate Editor. In a pop-up window you can see your texture and selected faces. Just remap that area by moving the vertices.

The hair and texture looks already ok in MS, how you going to adjust it then?

@Kiara
Another possibility is that you accidently snapped one vertice from the inner layer with a surrounding one from the outside layer.
Delete the distorded part on either the inner or outside layer, check the uvmap again, adjust it if the distortion is visible now.
Then duplicate the part, reverse the faces, alligne the normals and regroup it back with the rest.

I have to agree, the problem is the UV map. I have seen this problem enough times to know it is :P
You should do what Elexis said

If it is the uvmap then why doesn't it show in Milkshape?(just curious )
If you cant figure it out Kiara, upload the mesh and textures plz

I'm about to give up this hair, it is best I try to do everything from the beginning.
I leave here the mesh and textures, so if someone can try and find out what the problem is.
Thank you all for the help!

i am afraid so....
The head hairmesh is build from a few duplicates but has some welded verts on a few spots wich messed up the uvmap.
Those welded vertices are snapped together on the uvmap and pretty hard to seperate again.(it is possible tho)
The mesh looks like the pigtails from the sims 2 and if so i think its quicker to start over with the conversion.

Thanks for your help!
I want to convert Cassandra Goth hair, but is very hard to re texture TS2 Hair, so I tried to build a new mesh that was similar but don't work.
I'm gonna Start over!
