Officer caps on other crew?

[Vanagen]

Guten Tag Herren Kaleus!

Greetings from a long time reader and admirer of this astonishing community, back from a long time ashore.



I come to you with great humility and a simple question.

Is it somehow possible to have the officer caps appear on other crewmembers instead of their standard headdress?

Ideally, I would like to be able to have officers as well as NCOs wearing caps and the seamen wearing their standard headdress.



I did not find any mention of such a mod, though I may not have looked hard enough.

I did find a thread on a German forum relating to the issue here:

The thread itself offers very little in the way of an answer.



So far, my own feeble attempts have resulted in nothing happening at best and crashes to the desktop at worst.

I tried something easy first: giving the entire crew officer caps (regardless of rank).

Sure, there would be some manual adjusting to do in the crew_config files, but it would have been a good start.

I had initially hoped that simply copying and renaming the officer files (found in \Crew\Helmet\OFF\) to the crew files names (found in \Crew\Helmet\POS\) would do the trick.

Idle hope which resulted in crashes to the desktop when loading the game.



Still, I have some hope left.

Officers and crew wear the same outfits and headdresses on the deck during bad weather (found in \Crew\Casket\Casket02\), meaning that the models must be fundamentally compatible.



Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Either that or a "Nope, not possible, hard-coded in the engine".
