I managed to fix the mod myself following Elemental's instructions. I also added a few lines of code to reequip the item after it was made visible again. However, this causes the hair to become invisible (make your character bald) in the inventory menu while the item is still not visible. You can fix this buy unequipping and reequipping the item. I'm not sure how to fix this as it might be a limitation with ES and not something I can do on my end with my knowledge. This was my first time doing any type of modding (I come from a C++/C#/Java/etc.. background, so the scripting wasn't too unfamiliar), so I feel kinda proud of myself. Should the author not reply to anything about this mod, I'll follow suite of his mod, and create my own.
PS: It should also be known that my edits don't allow for magical hoods (And I believe magical helmets period) to be autoeqiupped after they're made invisible. That means that when you cast the spell, the item will go invisible, but it won't equip till you manually do it. Also, you cannot wear both an amulet and a helmet with this spell seeing as the Helmet takes up that spot. So no solution is a perfect solution.
OK, so I dabbled a bit in scripts,and here's what I dig up - the slot your helm is being send to no longer counts as armor (well,what would you expect if it's called no slot).Only armor slots will do, not all however.The Head slot will cause some odd effects(good for horror movies,I guess),while an amulet slot work just fine.Tail slot (non-beastrace character) works fine with heavy armor helms,but your hair will stick through your helm if it's light armor or hood.I think trouble lies in tail slot itself,and I see no way to deal with it without re-writing mod. So here is the deal, those of you familiar with OBSE scripting can simply change one number in mods script to fit helm for new slot (tail or amulet) to make this mod work.If there'll be requests I may upload the fixed mod (if author permits,he haven't replied on my PM so far)
Yes,currently helmet made invisible with this mod will not count in armor rating,so you can simply unequip it as well.Too bad,the idea was good and I really would like to see this mod altered,hope author will continue his work on it.
Nice mod, other than that the hair on your character is so horrible i'd hide it with the helm, but anyhow, helped me alot, i went around not wearing a helmet for a long time since they all were crap.
I think the newer versions of OBSE since this came out has broken the AC bonus when the helmet is removed. If you ever get a chance, BadPrenup, update it if you can/want too. Would not like to see a mod this awesome get left behind ">
Aesthetically it is a nice mod. I am not receiving the armor bonus of any invisible helmet, though. The enchantment still takes effect but not the armor rating. This is exactly the mod I was looking for if only it worked it would be spectacular. I am using a glass helmet enchanted with strength +10 if that has any bearing on things. I am using OBSE 17b.
It was working perfectly till now. It hides helmet properly, but it takes off helmets armor rating so finally Im without helmet anyway. The only thing I changed last time is obse beta 3 so might be this?
Alright I know I said I would have an update up here soon I'm just having some trouble making this compatible with Helms that take up multiple slots. The GetEquipmentSlotMask function only returns the Base Object of an item in a specific slot,
I tried others like GetBipedSlotMask which says can get the actual slots but I can't get it to work. If anyone has an idea please PM me, in the meantime I'll continue to try and figure it out.
