Lifebar Issue: Character Portraits Remain During Screen Animation, & Names

EDIT:
My issues have been mostly resolved. Thanks!


I recently installed the SF EX4 Lifebar posted by Rayzo.

The portraits weren't showing up initially, so I injected the [Face] code from another fight.def and got them to show up.

---
Issue 1
The portraits are staying on-screen during certain types of animation. It seems to occur during super move animations that do not take over the screen.

Either solution works:
1. Make the portraits disappear during those animations just like the lifebar/names do.
2. Make the lifebar/names appear along with the portraits during those animations.

Issue 2
The lifebar doesn't take well to long names.

Either solution works, but would prefer #1:
1. I'm pretty sure the Player # text at the top is part of the artwork. I would like to know where to go to edit the artwork out, which tools are needed etc. And then I want to move the character names to where the current Player # positions are, then bump the names as close to the timer as possible so that long character names don't clip outside.
2. Reduce the size of character names and bump the names closer to the timer. I don't know exactly where I would find these values.

I'm not expecting anyone to solve these for me, I'm just wondering which values I'm supposed to tinker with to get the results I'm looking for through trial and error.
I appreciate any help I can get.

Post your injected code.

Injected [Face] Code:

^The [Begin Action] code was there originally and I left it alone.

And taking another look, I'm also missing the bottom 2 charging meters like are shown in Rayzo's original post. Wondering how to restore those as well.

change all face.layerno to 0

Those are a part of the characters, they aren't included in the lifebars.

This seems to have solved the issue.
Also further tweaking allowed me to get the look I wanted for names as well (1920x1080).
It's not perfect but much better than what I had before.

These are changes I made under the [Name] code in my fight.def file.
Adjusted positions and font size. It was also missing "p#.name.scale =" under [Simul Name] for p1 and p2, so it looked odd in team mode.

Thanks very much for the help.

Thanks for clarifying.
