This release offers seven new helmet and hat models for your perusal. Viking helmets! Pirate tricornes! Turbans! These are all available for EVERY base race and sex combination, which amounts to nearly 100 new models. They are all quite tintable. Respective inventory icons are included.
Note: Please report any bugs or crashes that you think may be involved with these helmets to me! As I said, there are almost 100 models in this release, and I simply don't have time to double or triple check them all. Include, if you can, which helmet and which race you experienced the bug with.
This is the override edition, for those who are looking to simply try these models out, or use them in an existing single-player game. I offer it for you convenience, but as always, be aware that files should generally NOT live in the Override folder. This is a winzip file.
Any chance you are going to add masks and (are they called hoods?) for the rogue or ranger clichee?^^

Ichyro: Thanks for the comments! I don't have any plans for a Norman nasal helm right now, but if I ever expand this hat pack, that might make a good addition. I could probably just use the Norse helm, edit the model a bit, and retexture it... maybe include a chainmail coif beneath it. Hmm, concept art, you say? Sure, I wouldn't mind having it, if you don't mind. I sort of collect reference images, in fact. I've got a big images folder full of stuff like authentic medieval armor and clothing and architecture, etc. If the file's not terribly large, you can send it to Schazzwozzer@yahoo.com.

Just posting a comment: I'm glad to see someone doing work that isn't just scantily clad female armors. :D And the fact that you went very innovative in helmets, featuring a norse one, an Arabian-like Turban, and the Sikh turban, is just great. If I could make a suggestion, since you seem to be doing the iconic headgarb of an area, have you thought about doing a nasal norman helmet? By chance, would you need some more helmet concept art from the near eastern area? I've got a fair share of it and can send you over some. :) I would vote 10 if it would let me, I think I have to Dl it first. @_@

Very nice helmet and hat collection

Excellent work ? very detailed and a worthy addition to the game. A pity that these fine helmets can only be displayed on main characters and not on companions in the OC. (At least I don?t know how to do it?) I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I too am running into odd visibility issues. Some hats show up, others don't. I'm also seeing the entire creature model turned invisible and the game periodically crashes. Now, it may be unrelated to the hats, but I'm thinking it may be a cause. Specifically, the tricorn hat showed up in the game, but the others didn't. As an aside, Schazzwozzer, these are great models. I really hope these issues can get sorted out.

Will this be updated for 1.05? Currently the hats do not appear to show in the modules for me when run as game, though they do show in the toolset.
