Need Help Skinning

I already know how to extract/inject skins. It's just that I'm stuck with the Gimp for skin editing. (Photoshop is way too expensive) When I inject a skin into a map, it turns black a couple of feet away. Now, I know this has something to do with LOD. I also know that there is a machinima companion thing that removes the LOD for the entire map. It's just that I don't want to remove the LOD for the entire map. I just want to remove the lower levels of detail from the warthog. So: does anyone know how to make the warthog, and only the warthog, load the highest level of detail skin?

I answer the same question you're having in that thread.

I got the plugin that was posted in the other thread, and the Gimp never asked me if I wanted to generate mipmaps.
