Game Mechanics: Helm shows when "show my helm" is disabled

[soupy11]

Title says it all. Have to click on then back off upon zoning to have helm not show.

Don't think they can fix this. Changing your face or displaying your helm will not take affect until you zone or relog.

Edit: Unless you're saying it goes back to On everytime you zone. This may be an undocumented change with the recent patch considering you never had the ability to hide your helm in classic.

Yes you did. I remember hiding some of the fugly race helms in velious.


OT: This bug is more of an annoyance than anything, since I cant stand barb plate helms ><

I don't think this change was intentional, but if it is working that way.. it is classic.

OCTOBER 28, 2005

Players now have an option in the options window to determine whether or not they want other players to see them with their helm. "Show My Helm"

[Phallax]

There was a way to turn helm graphics off in velious. I remember it. I dont know if it were a glitch or a command but I do remember turning off bad helm graphics.

Wasn't this specifically for choosing to see classic or velious armor? In eqclient.ini you could choose loadveliousarmor = true/false, or a range of numbers, therefore enabling/disabling custom helm.

I do not recall a setting that would force helms off altogether though.

[Doors]

Yeah this is definitely bugged. Have to keep toggling it in the UI, anytime I zone it shows my helmet again.

[Dazen]

Yep the toggle on and off gets your helm to go away till you zone and then you have to do it all over again. You also now see every one's helm regardless if they have it on or off now.

[Rogean]

This is something I did while playing around in the textures code for velious stuff, forgot to mention it in patch notes. If you can find me research that shows there was a command pre luclin for it I'll re-enable it.

Also note, that if you toggle it off after you zone, it's only making that change for your client; everyone else will still see the helm.

I'm pretty sure helm-hiding came with the new interface they released shortly after Luclin.
