Can someone port this to WotC? I don't know if this was compatible once, but it is not any more.

Not here for the top hat, but the bowler will work like a charm on Roman Torchwick. L i t.

working in wotc?

Finally a proper top hat without silly bones for my 19th century Steampunk Gentleman of Refined Tastes Xcom fighter!! But please do a WOTC version. oh please do a Nexus version too.

I don't know that it did for sure but I've heard of a lot of issues with helmets/hats and other other accessories or armor mods not working completely right.

Ah, did it break with the new update? I'm absolutely swamped at the moment, but as soon as I have some free time I'll try and fix it. If anybody wants to upload their own version that's been fixed, you have my permission to do so, provided you credit me somewhere in the description. I probably won't have time to fix it myself for a while.

WotC does need some moar fancy

Wanna be fancy in WOTC!

Somehow the filesize increased when I cleared out the old shadercache files that normally cause large file sizes. I'm going to subject this to the "try again tomorrow" method of troubleshooting. Until then, my apologies.

so there is something odd going on with the size of the mod... perhaps the gods of coding need a fresh sacrifice. I sure do need some Weathly voiced british rebel with a fancy top hat in my squads to complement the cheeki breeki russian with a red star hat thingy.

Yes, what Vaeringjar says is true, it did indeed increase...strangely enough.

Did it? Well... that's odd.

wait, did the size just increase from 135 to 142 ?

Only a few thousand for each. Less than some of the vanilla hats.

ty for the quick answer, how big is the model and texture files before making the mod though?
maybe it just has a few million polygons?

Well, it's not the shader bug.

Update is compiling now, should reduce the file size if it was the old shader bug.

It's done the thing again hasn't it? Hang on, I'll see if I can fix that.

why 135mb though?

I took a break to play other games, so I just noticed that you got this worked out. Thanks man. It looks slick. Can't wait to try it out tonight.

Fixed the issues that were preventing the upload of a new Bowler Hat. It's been ready for months, turns out being subscribed to this mod during the debugging was causing the editor to ignore my changes. It's been ready to go for ages now and that one little thing was holding it up. Enjoy the Bowler Hat.

Sorry about the massive delay on this. As of this morning I've double checked all the modelling, texturing and rigging. It's just a matter of wrangling the modding tools now. Hopefully I'll be able to push the update by the end of today. From here on out I want to put stuff out far more quickly. No more sitting on finished mods for months at a time waiting on tool updates. My internet speed has marginally improved and I'm better at this now as well.

Sweet. You're the best.

Sure thing. Bowler hat is pretty close to completion. I actually did 90% of the work on the Bowler hat months ago, I just haven't managed to get the tools updated and expected somebody else to put one out before I could. Can't give you an ETA as my internet could end up taking a week to download the mod tools, but it's definitely on the way.

Man, I'd really love a bowler hat...

An update is coming. I'm not saying it's a bowler hat, but I'm not saying it's not a bowler hat.

I just noticed I used @Elite0087 in my last comment implace of you Mana Bat -.-

Awesome, now I just need a fancy pipe to go with it. The hat is just a hair too big, like 5% - 10% maybe? Looks like it might fall down across the wearer's eyes.

@Elite0087 Do you reckon he'd be up to do a voicepack? If you're gonna make TB you may as well go all the way. :D

Now I can make TB without a ballcap :D

If anything goes wrong with the release of the new patch, let me know, I'll get a fix out ASAP.

Yiss, I needed this.

it's fabulous！

added to my cosmetics collection, thanks, was looking for this for a while.

Update has gone up, drastically reduced filesize and the thumbnail is fixed.

And i wouldn't cut in the model I aim for about 4 to 8k triangles and pack 2k^2 textures.... that's what the vanilla props are so I think it's a good "quality target" :)

Search for shader bug on reddit ... basicly u need to delete the local_shader_cach_somethink.upk in ur xcom sdk/xcomgame folder and rebuild... this thing gets 80 mb big when u "debug" via Modbudy but it only needs to be a few kb big for mods that add models.

Gah my thumbnail went walkabouts. I'll have to fix that when I get home as well. I can't have a hat this fancy without a snazzy thumbnail!

@Katoffel, I do not, when I get home tonight I'll take a look and see what I can do about it. I want to make a mesh adjustment anyway so I'll see if I can drop the filesize while I'm at it.

@semper fitz=VX9= We'll see.

Please make a bowler hat. I beggeth thou.

@Katoffel This one may look fancier, but yours is a perfect stovepipe hat for all my Abe Lincoln needs. More tops hats is a good thing in my book!

Very Good!

Looks really nice on the screenshot!
Really really nice!
Look forward to se this in the game! :)

Yours looks legit fancy... other than mine ;)
nice :)
the 164 mb looks a bit big tho (u know the shader bug do u ?)
