Hairs removed by helm
« on: May 07, 2008, 11:28:35 am »
Am not really sure where to put it, so if a mod thinks it should go somewhere else, please feel free to move it.

My char wears a sack-hat (a helm which doesn't have a mesh yet and therefor uses the sack model). IC'ly it is a sack, not a helm.
Acraig once has changed something so that the hairs get removed when wearing a helm, for most helms that is even ok, but for the sack it looks a bit strange, since the whole backhead is open.

I wonder now if it are just some changes in xml files, or in the code of the client.
However, I'd like to undo those changes for my client (i know, that others will still see through my head), so that for screenshots my char will have a complete head :)

Thanks, sacid

The right place to report this is the bugtracker.

Normally, check first if the problem is already reported, by using the search function (preferably advanced, setting status to all statuses and checking search in comments and details). As I was convinced that this bug existed I did a search already, but as even I cannot find is, you can just add it as a new report. If it does exist, someone else will find it.

Well, it is not really a bug. The hair removal feature was implemented because of the hairs sticking out of the helms, tho the sack helm is/was a bug too (xillix added it accidently to trasoks shop some time ago) it is not meant to be a sack and i am sure in future versions the sack will get replaced by a real helm.

So the removal of the hair is IMHO not a bug, but works as expected, it's just that I'd like to undo the feature for my client only

I am afraid properties of items are stored server side, in the database, so unless I am completely wrong that will not help you. If it is just art that is missing, check the console for which art it tries to load, and see if you can create that file in the art zips by copying a proper helmet.

Still, things are not as supposed to be and chances of this being fixed sometime (not even suggesting soon TM :) ) will be much bigger when there is a bug report. So maybe it is not ' hair not visible when wearing a sack', but 'such-and-such helmet shows as a sack, and not correctly as that either'. Anyway, a bug report with what is wrong (which helmet, etc) would be appreciated.

Why would you want to wear a sack on your head anyway? ::|

Because it looks cool?

No seriously, my char has his reasons to wear a sack on the head, besides it really looks cool, imho :P

I have seen many a person with hat head in real life, particularly men who prefer baseball caps. They get an artificial tonsure.
