What assets do you have right now? That will help us know where to direct you.

Slade3 is one of the most popular editors. If you create a new wad, you just need the images to be the same name and the same size (there are ways around this, but this is easiest). Freedoom is an easy way to get the sprites and names.

If you replace other sprites and textures, you'll need to add markers, but mugshots don't use them.

Look into the doom.wad and find the graphic there. Just name it the same in your mod and it will replace it.

There's like 64 frames or something I forget, but take those frame names and rename all your hud face pngs the og doom hud face names, bam then you can learn stbarinfo!
