Hats and Hair Help plz

[ravenwing75]

Hello ,,

 

Im looking to set up a bunch of nif files so characters can keep their hair and have a hat at the same time. My rough prototype is going well till I had problems finding the settings that make the hair change colour to the characters choice of hair in game.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction pls

ps; I know the line up between the hair and the hat is rough as its a prototype and will be fine tuned once I get all the settings right ;-)

I just changed the settings of the hats in game. They no longer take up the hair and hat slots, I left only the headband slot, so their hairstyles remain. I prefer slight clipping to baldness when using custom styles.

The hat I'm working on had 2 major clipping issues on the head even if bald or very short hair (see the npc ranger called Ghost), my mesh has had a lot of mesh work and I'm just needing to learn hair colour settings now and will start the final set of models.

I guess the main thing I'm after is,,,

 

when setting hair up as a prop is it possible to

 

a, get the prop hair to match a characters hair

 

or

 

b, reset the hair to just use a texture and normals map

 

As I know a lot of people like the glow purple ani hair but I'm trying to avoid that atm.
