DAMN YOUR REGULATIONS SIR, I AM AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN AND I WILL KEEP MY HAT!
(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi46.tinypic.com%2F2ps2k40.jpg&hash=f4744721b12fd60e31b9bd9a44bc86cf0ee488d0)
This mod does (mostly) what it says, replacing the slightly tarted up regulation Shako head gear of most line and light to medium cav for all the nations in Napoleonic Wars.
Skirmishers, Grenadiers and most Guard Infantry are untouched and retain their shakos or unique head gear. British and French Ensigns are the only other units wearing these new classier hats. All other soldiers retain their original DLC head wear still.
Why have I done this? well, playing cav can be quite hectic or when your line goes into melee trying to keep track of the officer suddenly becomes quite a chore especially when the hat he wears looks more or less the same from the back. Also, I simply think Bicornered hats despite being associated with men of higher status than Captains and men of the Navy look good.
It also makes playing and leading cav much leader for newer regiments or new players in general who can't tell the difference between officer and other men on the field.
Now I'm not going to lie, it is pretty obvious this mod isn't Historically accurate or correct as I was limited to a reskinned Austrian bicorn and the already supplied hear gear from the DLC and I think for a first timer I did a decent job. Apologies for those who are annoyed with Austrian cockades playing Prussia or Russia but it better than the French one right?
Also, this mod comes in two flavours. One that simply does the line infantry and one that does line infantry and most nations light and medium cav. Most of the heavy cav of all nations remain untouched sadly as the helmets they use apparently are more complicated.
Installation is pretty easy, simply drop all or just one of the desire faction into your NW resources folder and it works! Just remember to back said folder up to a safe place if you want the shakos back.
Also, this mod is open source. Meaning if you think you can improve it with maybe some custom models go ahead and give it a try, I will not object. Hell I'll even host as I would love the Prussians and Russians having a bicorn skinned properly. If somebody could find a way too how to mod hats onto the Heavy cav and provide me with a reskin of the common Polish Lancer hat with a cover over it I can expand this mod greatly.
I will also consider looking into a version that gives your officer either a Bicorn or regulation shako if possible as well as push out a Cavalry only version. For now enjoy!

(Austrian Cav all share the same hat model so ALL of Austrian Cav Officers now wear the bicorn).

Remember to back up your resources before downloading this in case you want to go back to the old Shakos! if installed over other client side reskins I (think) it will just overwrite the hat of the skin of the officer but leave everything else. Make back ups of your Napoleonic Wars resources file before trying to be safe.
-
Nice hats you got there :)
-
Oh, I didn't make any of them. FSE did all the hard work though AtillaTheNun did reskin the one used for the British so big props can go to him for that and his guide.
-
I'm going to use that phrase "DAMN YOUR REGULATIONS SIR, I AM AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN AND I WILL KEEP MY HAT!" as many times in my life as possible.
-
It is a good phrase.
I'm still waiting on how to be shown how to redo it so Heavy Cav officers will exchange their helmets for different hats, when I finally learn it I will do one more update and include a cav only version and finish things unless somebody has some Bicorn reskins for Russia and Prussia.

Import the Bicornes into mmbrithats and replace the officer hats with them.

That is pretty much what I have done already for this mod with most of the officers. This seems to work with most classes but Heavy Cavalry Officers.
If I attempt to do this with say, a French Dragoon Officer they spawn bald and have a heavy graphics glitch in the selection menu.
-
Oh great! it works but, the others officers of this same class get the same hat as i, but in the real sever, am the only one wherein that hat ???

Skirmishers and Elites like Grenadiers keep their unique Officer hats as they are at least look different in some way. Plus I can never find it in my heart to take the Old Guard Grenadier Officers bearskin. Some regiment Officers like those of the 33rd and one of the Russian line share the same hat as the common Rankers and if I switched they'd all have Bicorns.
-
Is there a way to Only switch the Officers hat with soemthing else and keep the ensigns one as normal?

With some regiments the Ensign shares the same hat as the officer, some regiments they don't.
-
I mean like for Coldsteam guards the Officer as in me has these hats, but other plays have that same hat and they don't even own this mod, Is there a way to make me the only one that has this? Cause they can see it on me just everyone else has like i but they can only see mind, any help?

It is a client side mod. Meaning you'll only see it on your end. Everyone else unless they have it will see the usual stuff.
If you want other people to see it they have to download and install it too.
-
Aw, alright, trough i would look cool, or something. :P
-
I downloaded it, it's sexy ;D
-
Any possible way to just get the reskins for for the UK Infantry? Or do they share the same hat as the other factions as well.

I'm afraid not. One or two of the UK's regiments keep their shakos by default if it helps. 33rd I believe.
-
Just bumping this thread one last time, to give it a brief lease of life now minor modding with NW is slowly getting better again.
-
Has this been updated for use with the new patch? As you cannot use the British or French Bicorn files at the moment lest you want hatless bald Bavarian's etc.
-
Nice is it possible to get a hat only for the 33rd officer?
-

Personally I Like the Bavarian/1st KGL hussars being bald :)

Sadly, not got around to doing that yet. I'll try and get around to doing that, for me the guys mentioned still have their hats the Brit light dragoons have reverted to their old one too. I guess installing it post mod causes more problems.
But I'm busy at the moment. Feel free to post a tweak or fix, I'll add it with the downloads stuff to ensure any problems like this are squished.
-
I installed it for all the other nations, Its just I like it on the KGL Officer, But yeah, Im not going to bitch at you until you do it haha.
-
The fix will be pretty easy, but messing the files is tedious as hell and requires constant booting up of the game to make sure you've not messed up.
Odd that the Bavarians are having issues. Don't they have a new hat entirely?
-
Yeah, Its a completely new model, Same with the British Hussars hats, Marines hats, Sailors and Captains hats.

Ain't that the truth! ;)

The bavarians/1st KGL Hussars are the only hats that don't show up
-
I understand the Hussars, as the hat is a shared resource with several units. Once again, not sure about the Bavarians.
