problem changing players head

[BlackMagic]

I figured out that I could change player head - to add a cowboy hat instead of thief cowl - but it bobs down into vision when moving. Also it covers view when looking up.
I created the head by creating a def file for the hat and the "new" player head.

entityDef prop_cowboy_hat_whi
{
    "inherit"             "func_static"
    "editor_usage"            "A cowboys's hat"
    "editor_displayFolder"      "props/wearables/hats"
    "mass"                "0.6"
    "model"                "models/darkmod/wearables/headgear/hat_cowboy.ase"
    "skin"                "wearables/hats/hat_white_plain"
    "remove"             "0"
    "solid"                "0"
    "arrowsticking_disabled"    "1" // grayman #837
}

entityDef atdm:ai_head_thief_player
{
    "inherit"    "atdm:ai_head_base"
    "model"        "head_08"            // bare head
    "skin"           "heads/clean_heads"
    "def_attach1"   "prop_cowboy_hat_whi"        // attaches to side without attach pos
    "pos_attach1"    "velvetcap_1"
    "attach_pos_origin_velvetcap_1"            "2 7 0"    // y z x ?
    "attach_pos_angles_velvetcap_1"            "90 0 -98"

Is there anything I can do to fix this or am I just screwed?

SORRY for the multiple messages. EVERY time I clicked on submit, it said portal time out, and it seemed like it had no been submitted - so I kept trying. Finaly gave up, and NOW i can see it TOO many times.

GEEEZ pita!

You can report posts / topics. I don't know if it helps, but mods might see it sooner

Try adding:

"pm_runbob" "0"
"pm_runpitch" "0"
"pm_runroll" "0"
"pm_walkbob" "0"
"pm_bobpitch" "0"
"pm_bobroll" "0"
"pm_bobup" "0"
"pm_crouchbob" "0" 

to your custom player def

nbohr1more; Thanks for responding. I would have reported back quicker, but dealing with health issues. SO, I tried adding that info to my head def and then to the hat def, and then both. Didn't help. Do I need to make an ACTUAL player def?

when I have a bit more energy I will try to find out how to do that - IF I need to. So many layers to this stuff.

[nbohr1more]

yes, bob behavior is controlled at the player context ( pm stands for “player movement” )

I have a bit of energy this morning, so I copied the tdm_player_thief.def into my fm\def folder and made the changes.

Didn't help. Even did a dmap just to be sure, but the darn hat still blocks the view. WHAT am I doing wrong?

Think maybe this stuff is just beyond my aging brain... :{

Sorry that didn't work. Not sure why.

I guess the best approach would be to replace the mirror with an x-ray render and set the "hat entity" with suppressInSubView 2 :
