Scratch that earlier comment.

New games or loading games that have NEVER had any earlier incarnation of the game, or games that have been properly cleaned of earlier versions, causes the NEW book item to spawn with the race restriction.

Installing 1.3 and loading an earlier game that still has the book item from 1.2, causes the mod to work fine...?

0,0

I have a long term game that works fine with the mod, but new games always spawn the restricted book.

Here's how I 'fixed' it.

Uncheck version 1.3 from downloadable content and save a new game without it loaded. Quit DA:O.

Load daupdater and install 1.2 (old version). Launch DA:O and resume. You should have the 1.2 book (you can tell by the old item description). Save a new game. Quit DA:O.

Load daupdater and install 1.3 (new version). Launch DA:O and resume. Now you should have a working book for your racial type, that operates with the 1.3 improvements.

I still can't get this mod to work for me, I get the rule book but there's no radial menu. All the mod does is unequip my helms automatically but does not keep any attributes.

the book description has some grammar errors in the very beginning. the first 3 or 4 words i think (this well use tome). the whole paragraph seems a bit drawn-out as well, but yeah... doesnt feel very smooth off the tongue. figured id bring it up since descriptions are important to modders (i know when i did mods, they were huge for me).

1.3 book doesnt work at all. it has racial restrictions to it that basically have human, elven as one, so thats satisfied, but then dwarf as a second, which is not. so i cant use it. gonna try porkdish's process, 2 comments down.

edit 1: im just gonna not use 1.3, actually. 1.2 works well enough for me. only i still dont get how to use the book to switch to all but massive helmets hide? i used it and it does a spell cast motion, but it doesnt say anything to me, like "now xxx option is turned on" so i dont know the order of the options or how to get the menu to popup if there is one, or which option is set.

I always use the book from the quick bar, never from the radial menu in inventory.

RE:1.2
If you're not getting the overhead text telling you what mode its in, you need to disable and re-save and re-enable. You should get the text over head. Once the text overhead appears, OPEN YOUR BACKPACK. The helmet wont switch from its hidden state to default state until you do.

RE:1.3
I'm still having good success with 1.3 apart from the first load error that requires I already have 1.2 active within a game. The main party members so far seem to use it fine, its only the bit parters like Jory, Daveth and the soldiers from the Tower of Ishal that take their helmet off, but put it back on as soon as you use a gump.

I'm loving individual choice because my favourite helms are in the heavy category, NOT the massive category. Now I can have these showing but still hide mage hoods on Morrigan.

[andro21]

ah, sweet. yeah, porkdish. 1.2 works and shows the message for me now. still stayin away from 1.3 though. hoping the author will also check my comment below for grammar errors.

[drogaway]

now (with 1.4) it work !! thanks !!

[yonline2]

Okay, version 1.4 is up. Version 1.3 was a bust, was trying to restrict the book to everyone but Dog and Shale and forgot to remove the restrictions. But figured out a more proper way to link scripts with items so all is good in version 1.4 now, even with Dog and Shale (they don't wear helmets of course)

All party characters should now be able to individually toggle on or off their helmets.

[Surface_Tension]

I dont know why, but the book works only on the main character.

[yonline2]

@Surface_Tension: Are you starting a new game? It doesn't work on the temporary followers yet, just the permanent ones.
