-hood Decapitates Male Humans after Changing Servers

Post by daimon_d_heart »

Description
==========
If you move to a different server and use the -hood command, your PC's head will disappear. The command will work fine until you change servers.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
1. Transition from one server to another. Ex: Cordor Frontier to Cordor
2. Use -hood command

Expected result
-----------------------
Male Human head is replaced with the hooded model.

Actual result
-------------------
Head is removed entirely.

Screenshot(s)
--------------------
N/A

Notes
---------
Not sure if this affects all races or human females.

Have you fully restarted the NWN client after seeing this behavior to see if it persists?

I double checked and it turns out there's an extra step to reproduce this glitch. I'll modify my original post to follow the format.

For me this happens to all characters on a server transition, but I haven't been paying enough attention to notice it on Male Humans only (I'm 99% sure I've seen drow missing heads too).

This has been an ongoing problem for a few months.

If I go to surface, then return to Andunor, half the population is missing their heads. Even the Peacekeepers that don't wear hoods/helmets.

I have no idea what the issue is but I generally have to restart the whole game every time I switch to any server, and more frequently just deal with most people not having heads.

So we're very much on track.

I noticed this on a single model a couple days ago - the purser in the Guldorand monastery, but no other models at that time and haven't seen that elsewhere for several months now. I haven't gone back to check again but as no one else has mentioned it by now it presumably was a one-off fluke. Pretty sure he is a hooded figure.

I have been having the same problem with disappearing head since the March 8-9 patch. It never once happened before since making the character in December and now it happens constantly. Female Human.

It seems to be caused by the helmet hood model for my character.

I have been having the same exact problem popping up here and there since that exact same patch. Never had an issue before and my character has been around since October! Not sure what changed that is causing it. Also female human.

Helmet hood model. Are you referring to a -hood appearance or an actual helmet?

For myself, the issue I'm having as female human is when taking off helmet model "Form_54" (in the rest menu). Typically the issue is after server transition from what I can tell.

The actual helmet using the hood appearance (Form_54). Human female with head model #14.

This appears to be the issue for me as well. Server transition nearly guarantees invisible head after.

Prior to the most recent update, I found this would happen if I moved between servers while -hood is active and I deactivated it afterward. Only my normal head would become headless and -hood model would still show if reactivated. I didn’t report it before because the glitch could be avoided by disabling -hood before a server transition.
