To make model's i use Blender 2.69 and Blender Import/Export Plugin (2.6.4). All model's except Helmet's work.
Problem is i don't know how to hide Hair, so this look like :
What i must to do in Blender to hide helm?

Helmets don't substitute for heads like some other parts do - you'd need to raise the crown of the helmet so that it sits higher than the hair, thus concealing it.
Don't think you can do anything for ponytails.

as eguintir said. the hair is a separate mesh and will be disabled at runtime through a flag, if the helm is equipped. rjshae should know how the blender exporter handles this part.
MDBHelmHairHidingBehaviorHHHB_NONE_HIDDEN
HHHB_HAIR_HIDDEN,
HHHB_PARTIAL_HAIR,
HHHB_HEAD_HIDDEN

On import to Blender, the HELM packet becomes a little pyramid-shaped object. One of the surfaces of this pyramid has a texture type that is set based on the MDBHelmHairHidingBehavior type. If you change the texture type for that surface, it is captured on export. In this sense it works much like the WALK mesh.
(Sorry that it's not easier to use, but I wanted to get back to modelling rather than spending the rest of my life mastering the Blender scripting interface.

Ok, i Have as you say.
I have pyramid looks like :
now, try to export this to MDB :
And.. don't work. I have only one error in toolset:
They just work only when i don't have MDBHelmHairHidingBehavior type in blender, but then i have hair in helm.
I'm not sure; I'll have to experiment with it.
@Antras: Okay, I think I've found the problem and have a fix. Could you try the scripts at the link below?
I tested an export then re-import of a helm using these modified scripts; it imported the modified model properly and preserved the value of the helm hair hiding behavior flag. Please let me know if it works for you. Thanks.
Good Job!
They work now! Thanks ![]()
That's awesome work there. Any chance of releasing it? NWN2 could desperately use more custom armours
Hello.
It's me.
I was wandering if after all those months you could help me...
I went over everything.
You say the script's supposed to fix
But it ain't done much for me...

Just to make sure, you were using the latest of the mdb import/export scripts? What did you have the Helm Hair Hiding Behavior flag set to? Did it re-import okay?

I got the scripts from your link above. i set it to hair_hidden. I got an error on re-import :/
I don't want to sound like an idiot, but... how do I update the script? Do I have to reinstall the plug-in somehow?
Cause I just swapped the files and it doesn't really work - it beheads my characters and doesn't show the helmet model... Also it changed the flag on re-import.
Wait - nvm I got it to work XD
Nothing really - the beheaded model is something I deliberately did some time ago and forgot about it. As for the flag - I imported the one I wanted from some other model, didn't change the flag nor the name of the pyramid object and just exported the whole thing. Done.
Okay, so you didn't load the update? Or you did and it still didn't work? I'm just trying to reconcile this with the fact that it worked for Antras and myself. Is it possible the import/export scripts are in a different version of the Blender install directory than the one you're using?
I did load the update - the scripts are in the latest version (Y)
Sorry, I just don't know why it's not working for you. I'll try a few more tests when I have some free time.
But I said "nvm I got it to work XD" - I'm creating hairless helmets like a mudaphucka!
