Finally did it - Backwards Cap
Ybodonk
After a lot of hours of trying to change the nif file (3D format) i finally managed to get it done.

So now we can have caps in game i guess?

Im not an equipment maker, so i dont know to make the correct caps for the correct team and where to place the new "equipment".

However i do think its pretty cool, so if anyone is interested lets develop it further.

I havent got the pcm 2012 yet, so i just tried it out with pcm 2011

Really nice work. Anyway to get it tilting upwards would be awesome, doubt it though.

Perhaps I should start reading all the threads before commenting on them Pfft

Very nice! Could you upload the files? (I guess only the .nif is needed) Smile Several teams already have caps called "xxx_casquette" as an accessory in the team folder (3D/Cyclists/Cloth/team), all you'd need to do is convert them to .dds and place the 4 files (nif + _d, _n and _s) in 3D/Cyclists/Equipment/Helmets (and add them to the DB/replace one of the equipment).

Teddy @ Thank you !
Well i think its possible but, i dont know how to break/cut the 3D object in several pieces, then i think i would be able to tilt it upwards.

Luigi@ Thank you also .
I will upload the files in a minute. I just need to try it in game now to make sure it will work

Furthermore i saw your comment in the other tread, can you help me get these pcm 09 files ? caps bandanas etc ? I think i know how to resize and make them fit in 11 and 12.

 
Ybodonk
This is so damn weird, no how i name the cap or overwrite it on existing files, it wont show up in game ? I have even deleted all helmets and it didnt help .

What to do any suggestions and help ? You still want me to upload the nif file?

I think only the nif file is needed.

Can you tell me how to upload it?
Have never only anything else than tga files.

When you get the nif file will you try to make it work?
Im looking in lachis editor to figure out where to choose the caps , cant find it though

If you want the riders to wear them in race, you should add them as normal equipment. However, all the times I tried to do that in PCM11 (with the normal caps, without changing it) it never appeared, for some reason, and the riders would have nothing on their heads (I think I said this in the other thread). It's weird.

And btw, here is cap/bandana from the 1991 DB. The cap is the same as the one used in the podium from PCM09 (that one worked in game, the PCM11 one for whatever reason doesn't really).

Thank you for the upload. I have tried to upload af rar to you with the nif file who fits backwards like in the uploaded picture.

The two nifs in the one you did send me gives me an error mistake, i cant see the min nifskope Sad

Would be so kind to tell me how you would add equipment in the db ?
I tried under equipment_selection and choose two riders. Then the game crashed :/

The easiest way, since what you're trying to do test the caps in game, would be to replace files (make a backup of the originals). If you really want to add them, it's been explained some times, so you could use the search Wink

Have tried these things nothing works, and i cant find a thread explaining it. I still use lachis editor ..

If anyone knows how to get the nif file work in game - then i'd appreciate your help

Luigi i have looked at the files you send me. I can definately make the bandana and banesto cap work, but forward and backwards. And it is also tilting so that would be nice and cool like Teddy requested.

I watched them in the cyclist viewer, and know how to make them fit if i get into nifskope. however both of the files gives me this error :

"failed to load block number 8 (NiFloatsExtraData) previous block was NiTriShape"
"failed to load nif from 'C:/Users/XXXXX/Desktop/PCM EDIT/helmets/Helmet_bandana.nif'"

If i can get them to load in nifskope i will make it fit and work
 
Ybodonk
I downloaded another version of nifskope which could open the two files.

I couldnt resize it perfectly :/
But i did try something at this is the results so far.

If someone can make some nice caps out of this then let me
know.

God i am getting sick of this.
They look nice in the cyclist viewer, and they work in game yes!

However, they do not fit in game like they do in the cyclist viewer.

Any ideas mate?

I have uploaded the nif files

Little bump for the thread.

Luigi , Teddy have any of you tried the nif files i uploaded ?
Or done anything to them?

Would be nice if someone could help us make it work.

Problem is: The caps and barrets fits nicely in the cyclist viewer, and we can make them appear in game also. But they do not fit in game, like they do in the cyclist viewer.

Hmm the colouring part is in the DDS file. The nif file will read the colours from the dds. so i just made a quick try + Iban Mayos face
