Helmets for Godlikes

Media & Documentation:  Code:

Blessed by the gods, cursed by bad clipping. This mod allows Death, Fire, Nature, and Moon Godlikes to equip helmets and other headgear, opening the head slot without changing their race or character identity. Optionally, the 'invisible-helmets' sub-mod hides helmet meshes on Godlikes when their appearance is generated, avoiding the usual headgear awkwardness and letting the Watcher keep their proper divine look. Ideal to keep Eora’s most striking heads from turning into a metal-and-horns crash.

Installation

• []Install BepInEx (link in the Requirements) ensuring that the BepInEx directoryt in the same folder as PillarsOfEternity.exe. NOTE: BepInEx's directory tree will only spawn if after installing it the the game  is launched  at least once and left to reach the main menu.[/]

  []Download this mod and extract HelemetsForGodlikes.dll to the  .\BepInEx\plugins directory.[/]

  []OPTIONAL: To make the helmets invisible on Godlikes, extract also HelemetsForGodlikes_InvisibleHelmets.dll to the .\BepInEx\plugins directory.[/]

  []Launch the game and wear helmets all day long![/]

  Spurred by roomshares0's comment on my other mod Faster Fast Mode, I ran some tests and figured out that Unity Mod Manager and BepInEx can coexist. The trick is to give BepInEx exclusive Doorstop access and letting UMM inject via assemblies:

  • []Temporarily remove the existing BepInEx installation. Rather than deleting it, move BepInEx/, winhttp.dll, doorstop_config.ini and any other files originally extracted from the BepInEx package out of the Pillars of Eternity directory;[/]

    []Start UnityModManager.exe;[/]

    []Select Pillars of Eternity and confirm the correct game directory;[/]

    [](See also the instructions on UMM's NexusMods page on this) Select Assembly as the installation method instead of Doorstop Proxy and install UMM;[/]

    []Restore or reinstall BepInEx into the game directory;[/]

    []After starting the game normally, mods compatible with UMM should appear in Ctrl+F10 menu normally and BepInEx plugin should load correctly and log in Pillars of Eternity/BepInEx/LogOutput.log[/]

      Be sure to install UMM mods in Pillars of Eternity/Mods/[/fon
