Fixes hair disappearing for some male hairstyles with helmets that should show hair, where even if the helmet is configured to show hair, the game has no hair set to show. It does this by adding references to existing hair models for hairs that were missing these references that are used when equipping helmets that are configured to show hair.

This is not a perfect solutions, as the hair models are not a perfect match to the selected hair model, but it is better then suddenly turning bald. This is also the same method used by TaleWorlds for female hairs, so not sure why they did not do it for male hairs too.

Recommended to be used with Helmet Hair Cover Tweaks Continued or Helmet Hair Cover Tweaks Expanded as they set more helmets to show hair.


Compatibility

This mod is done using xslt, which means it does not overwrite any files, it simply edits the hair mesh references on game load. Therefore it should be compatible with all mods, unless they edit the same hair mesh references.

This also means it should be compatible with all current and future release versions (1.0.0+) of the game, as long as TaleWorlds does not completely change the xml structure.


Save Data

This mod does not affect your save data so it is safe to add, remove, or upgrade mid campaign.


Load Order

Load the mod at the bottom, after any mods that edit skins.xml.
