Good job mate. Great to see this mod continues his life.

BTW if you can and have time and update the Headsfeet version of the mod that be great. :)

OH SHIT I TOTALLY SAID I'D UPDATE IT EARLIER AND THEN I WENT AND TOTALLY FORGOT

THIS IS REALLY LATE I AM SO SORRY

Lmao late af

For the headsfeet version, is it meant to be used with nohats or as a standalone?

I cant start the game, says "Unkown version 538976258 for vpk" then says the error IS this hat mod. named it nohatsmod and put it in custom. sooo.. HELP?

without unusual effects?

standalone

Mine works just fine, I have never seen this error before. You just put the vpk right in the custom folder correct?

Most unusual effects don't show from what I've seen.

<3

Yeah I was willing to do this as i posted in the original NoHats mod thread but Plenty of shit suddenly arrived and I ain't got the time. I hope you can keep this mod updated without much trouble.

yes, when i downloaded it, it was a notepad as a vpk. i put it in the custom but it wouldn't let me launch

That's a very bizarre issue you're having there. I re-downloaded the file that I uploaded and it worked perfectly fine.

Thanks a lot, working great.

How would you go about editing the .vtx files?

I edit the files in Notepad ++.

Is there a fix for not seeing some unusual effects?

There's not as far as I know I'm afraid.

Sorry if you get asked this all the time, but is there any way to give everybody back their default headgear? So when I use this mod, the Sniper, Engineer, Soldier and Scout all appear "bald", if you get what I mean. It's very depressing because the default hats which were a part of their original designs gave them so much character. Those default hats were an important part of those class designs - chosen by an artist who really knew what he/she was doing. I would love to see them again if possible.

It might be possible to replace everyone's hat with the default hat for that particular class. That's something I'll have a look into. Although I'm not entirely sure if the default hats contain any code since they're technically not an item in the game. They're just a part of the player model. I'll still see what I can find though.

Really do like this mod, however, it removes the festive lights on weapons. What files are doing this and how can I disable them? I also tried to edit them in notepad ++ but there is nothing to edit.

EDIT: Never mind all I had to do was extract the files out of the mod, replace the festive files with the original files, and turn that into a vpk file. Really simple ikr.

who's autistic enough to care about hats this much? The only reasonable thing I can think of is hating the Banana hat. Kicked a guy the other day because he had one on.

The irony of this post is too much

banana hat is literally disgusting
should be limited to halloween

I got this to work around a year ago and it works basically as you said. Default hats have their own model in the files so if you decompile a hat file, replace the model with the default hat model (or any part of a characters body that can be turned on and off, like Scout's feet or Pyro's head) (this bit gets a bit fucky when multiple styles are concerned, where each style disables different body groups eg: Backwards Ballcap removes Scout's cap and headset independently of each other but FOR SOME FUCKING REASON you can just combine the two models for Scout's cap and his headset into one file in something like Blender and use this to replace the Backwards Ballcap's model), then recompile.

Place the new model in a .vpk like the normal No Hats Mod and Bob's your uncle. You don't even need to replace textures (once again, FOR SOME FUCKING REASON) because the game somehow know's what texture to use when you change ONLY THE MODEL file, EVEN if you combine 2 existing models into 1 model (like with Scout's headset and cap) the game will still correctly apply textures even though the new model doesn't even exist in the games files. I have no idea how it ever worked but it did, even on sv_pure 2 WITHOUT preloading.

Unfortunately it took multiple minutes to complete one hat because you can't just replace it with an empty file, and all LODs (usually around 3 of them) need to be replaced some hats had different styles so you really had to set aside an hour or 2 just to do like 10 to 20 hats. And I was doing this at the point when Valve was releasing like 20+ hats for EVERY holiday event, plus community events and comp medals and with the backlog of nearly 1000 hats I basically gave up because I didn't have the time.

I'm also hesitant about giving away detailed instructions because I'm pretty sure you don't have to replace hat models with default bodygroups, so you could replace people's hats with massive street lamps and see them over walls and shit in sv_pure 2 with no preloading, just using a regular .vpk, which would be a great way for Valve to finally tighten up on hat removal mods due to exploiting (like with animation replacements) and end what everyone else has slaved over for years, so I'd only tell someone who I know will only use this method to replace hats.

Can you update the headsfeet version also and maintain it?

If I actually cared about hats I'd leave them on. Since I don't care about hats and don't want them being a massive distraction while I'm playing, I choose to play with this mod on. I'm sure most other people would also use it for the same reason.

It limits distraction and visual clutter, and boosts my fps from 144 to 155.

Is there going to be a update for the No hats Mod soon?

are you serious ? wtf
