Need Help: my character's ghost build ears are displaced in the game but not in the sprite

This is my first mod so I don't know why this happens, it supposed to look like the first image but when you die in game it look like the second one

It's because those are pigtails right? by default they really are placed there. If you just moved them via spriter it doesn't mean you've change their position for animations. What you could do is edit their pivot point so they would get positioned higher, I'm not sure if they will be animated properly, but it should kinda work. Last resort would be making custom animations which isn't easy...

oh I almost forgot you can just edit the body itself. Don't use the pigtails make the image bigger but make sure the pivot is correct and it should work I think?

@ZRK That's a splendid idea, I really don't know how to do that with the pivot piont, if you have any tutorial it would be amazing, I'm really new to modding so thank you very much.

First suggestion :

This is kinda what you did right? My first suggestion won't  actually work that good now that I think about it.
Because if you move the pivot to it's right position it would go like this once it's animated. Rotations are based on the pivot so it will do wacky stuff like this.

 

What you should do probably:
What you could do is edit the body itself and just make your canvas bigger and add the ears directly on the main body. Just make the pony tails clear. All that is important is the pivot is correct from what I heard to keep the animations correct. So good luck with the making the image slightly bigger to fit those ears you might need to adjust the pivot if it is off ingame I made a small guide about pivots bellow.

How to edit pivots? :

you can edit the pivots by double clicking the sprites at the right side of your screen or drag and drop the red dot on the sprite then right click on it select override default pivot.

 

PS: you can also edit scml directly using notepad or note++ to edit those pivot if you want to use find/replace makes it faster maybe

I hope this helps
