Skeleton and Soldier Hats

Description
Tired of shiny bald skulls and exposed hammerheads? Ever wonder why skeletons are incapable of throwing baskets over their heads? Step right up and be amazed by our new AI and Queen-approved programming. Introducing HATS! Wearable ones! Now you and your robotic loved ones can enjoy shade on the go.

Skeleton and Soldier Hats enables playable skeletons and hive soldiers to wear certain hats and helmets. I combed through all the different headpieces in the game to see which of them fit the models.

List of Hats and Races

Skeletons:
  • Basket Hat
  • Wool Hat
  • Sandogasa
  • Ashlander Stormgoggles
  • Bandana(s)
  • Hachigane(s)
  • Swamp Mask
  • Mask Type III
  • Fog Mask
  • Tagelmust(s)
  • Kabuta Zukin
  • Kusari Zukin
  • Armoured Face Plates
  • Armoured Hood
  • Samurai Helmet
  • Ancient Samurai Helmet
  • Spiked Helmet

Hive Soldiers (including Southern and Deadhive):
  • Sandogasa
  • Straw Hat
  • Rattan Hat
  • Iron Hat

Soldierbots/Logheads:
  • Sandogasa
  • Swamp Mask
  • Fog Mask
  • Armoured Face Plates

P4 Units:
  • Basket Hat
  • Sandogasa
  • Rattan Hat
  • Swamp Mask
  • Mask Type III
  • Armoured Face Plates
  • Iron Hat

Reasoning

I didn't permit every helmet. A good number of them just don't fit, leading to horrific clipping and immersion breaking. I'm not a modeler, so I'm not capable of making them work either. The ones I did allow either make sense or just look good to me. This is purely subjective. Sometimes even a clipping helmet can end up looking good to me, such as the Mask Type III on the P4 Unit, and so I allowed it.

I encourage anyone with different tastes to load my mod up in the FCS and tweak it to your liking. All you have to adjust are the race exclusion lists of the armors themselves.

Compatibility
This mod doesn't change any models or textures. It only changes the "no hats" value in the race sheet and the race exclusion lists of various armors. It may conflict with any other mod that seeks the same goal.

Be aware that any other mod that adds new helmets are unaffected. This means that skeletons and soldiers will probably be able to wear any of them regardless of how well they fit, unless the modder used the race inclusion/exclusion lists already.

Enjoy.

If anyone else is using Screamer units and MkII skeletons, I made a little patch that adds support for those races as well. You can download it here !

Fair warning: @woden87 is correct with respect to Screamers; I could only find two hats that worked with Screamers, and I threw in the Swamp Ninja Mask and Fog Mask just because the original mod author was okay with how they looked on other skeletons despite the clipping.

it might be pointless to throw this out there but the neither the iron hat nor straw hat work for the Skeletons atm.

Finally! <3 I need this in my life, also I'm super glad you looked at all the hats and chose ones that weren't super clippy.

アグヌに三度笠をかぶってもらいましたが、上記画像のようにはならず、頭の一部が飛び出してしまいました。何故でしょうか?他のMODに干渉しているのでしょうか?

@[CD]Grubby: Screamers have exceptionally tall heads, and clip very noticeably through almost everything (even Sandogasas, which hardly clip with any other heads).

Lyston seems to have been trying to limit this to headwear with minimal clipping, so there probably wouldn't have been much selection anyways.

Amazing mod, was very excited to see bugmen wearing hats! should have been in the base game.

Very reasonable. I found some of the clipping did fit quite well and I customized a few of my Skeletons to have the right color for certain masks so it looked like part of their face. Great mod. What's even nicer is that it isn't broken or anything. I mean for Skeletons most hats just add weather resistances and, well... Skeletons are already immune to the weather.

So it's really just aesthetic in their case.

Sadly it doesn't work with Skeletons who don't have the basic head (i.e. - the only ones you can create at game start without mods), but I'll take whatever I can get.
