Hats

[purpleoni]

hi!

 

I have been doing some armor mods recently and i have run into a bit of a block. i have created the mesh and texture for a custom hat to go with a customized armor set....but i can't work out how to make the hat an item that behaves as a hat (ie sit on the character models head). the other mods i did were based on existing meshes which i tweaked a little and added my own texture. This is my first attempt at creating something from scratch. Im reasonably certain i have to do something with the skeleton part of the human model....but could anyone point me in the direction of some information on this subject? I cant seem to find anything relating to working with hats in particular. I have seen some other peoples hat mods....so the information must be out there! But i have googled and read through wikis...and nothing.

 

thanks in advance for any help!

I'm not sure, but you might want to try linking the hat to an imported section of hair. As anything placed in the head slot would end up removing hair, you would have to attach hair to most hats anyway (unless you like the bald look). If you wanted the hat to be tied to something other than the head slot (like tail slot, or as part of a larger outfit (wizard robe and hat as one item bound to chest and legs slots)), you would have to weight it to the head bone.
