Where are helmets and hats located?

[Rod]

2 flavors-both crash with Error 001 after about a minute -the only difference I could see was the ammo as you pointed out.
Game is on XP loaded in  my C drive-NOT Programs
One infantry man has in unpatched and patched code R_SHOVEL, shovel, false;
listed under addins[ssb](). Does he need it? I don't recall seeing this in the IRAQI soldier file.
I appreciate your offer-but your going through the Stations of the Cross from what I read at SimHQ so don't spend too much time.

So if its not that, what PATH of folders for addons is it going into?

[Flashburn]

Ok, so for your addon files (with addpack deal) the folder path should go folders....

addon name (your helmet mod)>>>shared (your addpack file goes next to shared folder)>>>packed data>>>Your changed flatdata file. 

[Rod]

Did it work in your game? It didn't crash?

[Flashburn]

No, didnt pack it up.  I certainly could but been working on a little G-3 project. 

Ok yes, tested and works.  I might addwithout their head sticking thru helmet which is what happens when you stick default on Angola head.  Ask me how I know that........and how to fix it.

[Rod]

Well I'm not doing this mod for now. I even packed it into a FLATDATA file for the last patch. Result no Helmets-just soft caps and more frustration. I'll wait till the modding experience matures for Steel Armor-or better mod tools/process shows up. Why unpacking is so simple and repacking has to be ....

I've modded a few games.  Right now it's just too difficult in this game. There I said it.
I'll just play the game. Thanks.

mod the updated files and create your own desc.addpack

[Flashburn]

File structure under for add pack is more than likly wrong.  POst a pic of your file structure.  the ONLY thing you need is a right path and SA_human (whatever its called) in packed up in flat data file.  Your file itself looks right.  The only other thing that can be wrong is that. 

[Rod]

Well 10 minutes into a QuickBattle and no crash and I suspect (fingers crossed) it won't. I edited the helmets on the infantry only NOT the sniper (and tankers and officers)-and here's the weird part I exchanged Irag soldier bodies for the one I put Iraqi helmets on. I made it FLAT -but the weird part is when I UNFLATTENED the file to check-there was no reference to Iragi or Soviet Bodies on ANY of the ostov_type in the file. And the original helmet mod I saw was in December-no telling what was altered in the patches causing a crash.  I really hope this is the end of this helmet mod. Now I'm off to put the GAZ66 in the Iraqi Encyclopedia-I know they have them-I wasted some in the campaign. Baby steps. That should be simple   :^/

So to recap I altered helmets and bodies-but the game gave me the helmets but altered the file.

Well they do if you where playing crescent moon.........

[Rod]

Well it crashed again-tricky little bugger- Soviet troops do not like Iraqi helmets. So I'm thinking of making a copy/duplicate of the Iraqi helmet and calling it a Soviet Helmet.
Not a showstopper for the game-just would like to conquer this problem. What do I have to copy and rename besides what is in the the tabs_flatdata file?
Any objects file.

[whukid]

I have that problem alot too. This solution seems to be temporary, like 1 or two games before a perpetual crash

[Rod]

Yeah sailing along here then -crash after 2 minutes


It's late now-but I think I see the problem-when comparing texture dds files located in tex_humans_mtc80.flatdata

reg_sa_soldier_dift.loc_def.dds  and reg_iq_soldier_dift.loc_def.dds  (it has no helmet texture- but a beret texture) or reg_iq_tankman1_dift.loc_def.dds (which has a helmet texture)

they are laid out different from the soviet texture. The soviet soldier has a soft cap texture in his texture file. Even where the Iraqi helmet texture is located in a different area PLUS there is a file ONLY for HATS AND HELMETS  reg_hats1_dift.loc_def.dds

I found the iq_helmet mesh and duplicated it and gave it  an sa_helmet name. But I bet that won't work I bet because the way the uniforms textures are laid out. There will be a conflict. Unless you change the soviet soldier texture and possibly model. It's late. Later, Gator.

Hope Flashburn can work around this problem with the American helmet.

Like Whukid I'm visual so here are some screen shots of some of the files.
This is the soviet soldier texture file and bump map file what the arrow points to the soft hat texture-I think that gets in conflict with the texture on the Iraqi Helmet file and the Russian soldier texture file-since the Russian soldier already has a hat texture for different headgear. I'm stumped what the HAT file does with it's textures. Is it only for viewing the mesh? At this point I'm 100% certain you can't just add a helmet with a text edit-that is only a part of the process of putting a helmet on a head-PERMANENTLY. Or at least a Russian Infantry mans head. Game sucker punches and works with the modded helmets and then CRASH! Takes awhile to get in conflict. 
What I want at this point is to retain soft caps for officers and helmets for enlisted. I'm sure there is a way-jus' can't get my mind around it yet.

I'm not a texture whiz- is I delete out the hat texture will I still have a conflict and a crash? Is the hat/helmet it's own physical model-or is it part of the body?
Comments are welcomed.





Iraqi soldier texture named   reg_iq_tankman1_dift.loc_def.dds is below    (only one with helmet texture others have beret-go figure with the naming  {how hard can it be})
Note the position of the helmet texture in the file (upper right hand corner) compared to the Russian soldier. Maybe a way out of this crash is to take the IRAQI tankman file and texture and bumpmap it into a Russian infantry soldier uniform. I'd do it-but I never done any art work except some cut and paste.



The Hat file-is this only for the mesh?      (It also has it's own bump file.)

[whukid]

The second picture is the only file used for hats, from what I can gather.
