There is no default mask for hivers so I have nothing to work with. I'm not nearly competent enough to create a brand new mask, though it is possible to do so using the stick_person head skins. You have to do something like copy the file over to a new image file, colour the parts you want to hide with one of the colours the FCS can use, then erase all the other parts so they don't mess with things. Finding out which parts you need to hide for whatever helmets you're looking to fix would be a most difficult part.

Could you please do this or something simiular for hive worker drone foreheads?

That's very strange since neither yellow nor cyan are used in vanilla Kenshi, there almost has to be another mod which edits the part maps in some way for it to be causing an issue.

Tried the cyan one and fixed my invisible neck glitch but it caused some NPC's feet to be invisible, I'd love to use this mod but it's not worth the conflicts I am receiving on my end. Just reporting this in case anyone else receives the same problem

I was troubleshooting today to figure out what was causing my invisible neck glitch on my character and some NPCs wearing traders leathers armor, and I isolated it to this mod. Not sure why, they weren't skeletons but it was causing the invisible neck glitch. I will try the other one you have, but if that one doesn't work I may have to just not use these mods. I don't even use community part map

10/10 mod thanks

Worked on my end, place below ILA-M in the load order and make sure you have this mod installed anywhere in the load order as well. Let me know if it doesn't pan out and I can send you the mask map to manually install on your end.

Yep that's a mod. Skeleton ILA-M. Anyway, in case if you wouldn't want to make it, could you share with how you did it exactly?

I don't know what ILA-M is, is it a mod?

Can you also make fix for ILA-M? If not then how you did so

Mod works perfectly and I can't play without it when I've got skeletons around, do you think you'd ever make a compatibility patch for the RLBS skeletons?

most likely you have another mod which uses the map masks, that'll cause all kinds of invisible body part issues. Can't use this mod with any other mod which uses them, sorry

after installing this mod, everyone's chest just disappeared.

My skellies look a lot less stupid now. Thanks.

i simply fixed it by making the armor fit in a belt slot and over lapping with a vanilla armor that is apart of the custom armor worked perfectly

Okay cool, I was going to ask if maybe there was a load order problem, but that makes more sense

nvm it was a mod armor

it doesnt work

gg

thank you

so the rag shirts having your chin clip is because the neck of the shirt is based on the neck slider when your character is created. Wear the rag shirt and visit a plastic surgeon and adjust the neck slider (you'll see the rag shirt move) until the rag shirt neck piece fits well (you won't notice much of a difference on the neck without the shirt either)

is it possible for this to work with ragshirt? my chin still clips through the collar

I don't think I am, but not every mod tells you what it changes. I still appreciate your work.

yup, if you're using any other map mod it'll do that

Invisible human neck mod :)

The mod covers all skeletons which use the Mk1 body style including: Skeleton, Soldierbot, P4 Unit, and Screamer Mk1. I didn't touch the Mk2 body styles since they are much thinner and not playable without mods. Do they also have clipping issues?

Will you ever make a version that includes the P4 unit and other skeleton subraces?

heres a suggestion use orange since with community part map mod it's the hands so just recolor or even use the community part map and adjust it accordingly. Just a suggestion since a few other mods use orange.

Try the cyan version and hope for the best, some other mod you have installed is using the yellow map mask

This is really nice.Really.
And.... All human character's neck seems to be invisible after using this mod.

Exactly what I've been trying to tell people, using any other mods which use the yellow colour in a mask map will conflict HEAVILY with this mod, which is why I also made a cyan version. However, mods such as the community part map, use every colour the FCS allows us to, so there is no way to make a compatible version of this mod for such a mod.

Thank you for the comment SnugSnug

Heya, for trying to address part map conflicts between mods, Arkheil made a "community part map" mod some time ago with a suggested convention. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2613098751

Anyone using it in their mods or users subscribing to it will have issues with transparency cropping up.

might help/ best of luck.

What they said ^ it looks great on skele's but a lot of other models have invisible torsos, this happens with a very wide range of different armor sets too, not for characters in a squad but for npcs in the world, still a great mod and hopefully this can be addressed :D

A lot of invisible torsos... =[ I wished to use this... but right now... =[
Still, I think you are in the right path, Cahrl =) Keep going =)

None of those four mods change the heart protector or the mask map so there are no conflicts. The only mods which will have conflicts are those that edit or add mask maps. Try the cyan version of this mod and see if that clears it up as a mod you have installed may be using the yellow mask colour, but not the cyan if you're lucky.

For example, the problem was visible on the Heart Protector armor.

As written below "making parts of them invisible". I advise you not to download the mod until you find out what it conflicts with.
I can tell which of my mods I suspect are mesh problems:
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1678049479

Should be fixed now, there were a lot of parts going transparent. Bits of legs, the soldierbot head and neck, and regular skeleton 'mouths'. Thanks for the heads up, please let me know if there are any further issues not related to other mods, and thank you for narrowing down the issue beforehand.

The cyan version doesn't have the issue? That is very strange, I'll take a look as I may scribbled over a wrong part somewhere

Causes this [imgur.com] on soldierbots. First picture taken with my usual mod setup, next two with only this mod enabled. Cyan version doesn't have this issue

Good one, thanks

Hivers have no mask map in vanilla, you probably have another mod which gives them one

Seems to clash with hivers making parts of them invisible? Might be my mod list not sure.

Rats, that's a real shame. I hope your mod does well though. Skeleton armor clipping is quite an eyesore.

Cool thanks, looks like that mod uses every colour available so this mod will not be compatible at all with it. The cyan version won't work either as they have also used cyan for feat, I'll put a not above

That makes sense. It seems to be affecting any armor that shows the chest for any vanilla race. I'm using the Community Part Map.

So in Vanilla there is not mask map for Hivers, nor is there any yellow parts on the mask. Some other mod you have must have added a mask map of their own and used yellow like I did. I'll quickly make a separate version with another colour. What mods are you using?

I think this might affect more than just skeletons. I am suddenly seeing shek and scrochlanders in the Shinobi Thieves tower, wearing ninja gi, whose chests are invisible (I can see through their models). Likewise, a hive soldier in the tower, wearing dyed armoured rags, is missing half his head.
