Miscellaneous: Velious Helmets Mega-thread

[Sage Truthbearer]

Here are the bugs reported regarding Velious helmets so far:

• Hair sticks out of Velious helmets on various races (especially females) [1]
• Velious helmets do not display correctly in character selection panel and revert to no helmet or leather appearance [2]
• Male Erudite helmet clipping messed up, hood sticks out of helmet [3]

I would also like to add:

• I was unable to find any evidence that there should be any tinting on Velious custom helmets during this era
• Female Erudite visor is opaque instead of transparent

Regarding the issues with hair/clipping/tinting, I have created this image of how the Velious helmets appeared in Velious.

Good post

bump for great justice

Does anyone remember if the Kael/Skyshrine custom helmets had any tinting during Velious era on Live?

I could be totally wrong about this, but none of the Allakhazam comments discuss any color or tinting for custom helms. None of the screenshots I found that were clearly from Velious era had custom helms tinted.. Or were from a later era when dyes for custom helmets was possible.

This leads me to believe all custom helms look like the Thurgadin (non-tinted) versions.

Kael:

• Custom Warlord's Crown
• Custom Troubadour's Helm
• Custom Shining Helm
• Custom Malevolent Crown

Skyshrine:

• Custom Blood Lord's Crown
• Custom Crown of the Myrmidon
• Custom Helm of Twilight
• Custom Scaled Knight's Helm

Other Non-Thurg Custom Helms

• Custom Cowl of Mortality
• Custom Crown of the Kromzek Kings
• Custom Frostreaver's Velium Crown

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Bump. Fix my pink Kael helm!

Bump, so many bugs with custom helmets. Just look at the poor Erudites for example.. Not only the clipping issues but the female Erudite visor should be transparent (see right). It is nearly 100% opaque on P99 (left).

This is correct

[Sage Truthbearer]

Bugs:

• Remove tinting on all SS/Kael custom helmets.
• Fix the clipping issues especially Erudite hoods and Human female hair sticking out of helmets.
• Fix the transparency on visor for Erudite female custom helmet
• Custom helmets are not displaying in character selection panel

This is fixed, pending update.

This might be complicated. I have made threads in the past discussing partially transparent objects being rendered incorrectly. If someone can find the relevant .bmp, (erfhe maybe?), I will do some tests on it.

Awesome, thanks nilbog! Will look for the relevant .bmp.
