Ther is an excellent tutorial at the steam4me site in Australia on SFM. The SFM also comes with a Help file.
An ace file is generally a texture file, and does not have lines. It is a photograph, sort of.
Don't really understand your question.

Not sure what you are asking either, sounds like you want to change the .s (shape) file to call the .ace file. If this is what you are trying to do, then do below.uncompress .s file using SFM.highlight options and go to wordpad edit .s .when file opens click EDIT at top, then FIND.type in the word images , then click NEXTUnder images you will see the .ace files being called for. Just edit for the proper .ace file.Save, Exit, and compress file.John
