I'm not sure what exactly went wrong here. The helmet texture looks fine in the pk3. I was using base Jedi Academy, so the icon for the helmetless did not show up because it is not called "model_default_face.skin". I think. But it would show up for people with JA+ or even OpenJK I believe. I could be wrong. Maybe Deviance can replicate it so you know it's just not my game screwing up or something.
