Hello!
First of all, I’d like to congratulate everyone involved with the new profession outfits! They’re great :3
Moving on, however…
There is one little thing that bothered me a bit about them: the new outfits that include hats (like the Cook or the Trapper) have the hat as a part of the main outfit instead of having it separate like the archer or engineer used to have.
I noticed that when I created a racoon hat for the trapper…
As you can see, the hat is not replaced because it is actually part of the “body” slot. However if I make my hat a “body slot” item, it gets my trapper naked unless I include the whole outfit with my hat. I wanted to know if there was any workaround or different option to the `"Merge_with_model"` (I only know that one and the bone attachment one) rendering that would allow me to replace only the hat instead of having to include the whole trapper’s outfit 😃
Thanks!

@malley may be able to answer this.

Well, at any rate I fixed it by making it a “torso” item and including the rest of the trapper’s clothes 😃
Not optimal but it works :3

As long as you’re hat bone is named “hat”, you _should_ be able to set transparent to false like the engineer outfit:
```
"default": {
"layer": "clothing",
"transparent": "false",
"models": [
"file(engineer_outfit.qb)"
]
},
```
If that doesn’t work let me know : ).
Or you can do the fix you found ; ).

Oh! I’ll try that right away and edit this 🙂
EDIT:
@malley - nope. Hat is named “hat” in Qubicle; added the `"transparent": "false"` to the hat `.json` and it ended up rendering both hats again. Not sure if an issue, but I’ll be going with the torso solution for now then 🙂 I guess the only issue is that if the clothes are changed, I’ll have to manually update them 😃
Thank you nonetheless 😊

hmmm… i might convert these new hats to be separate equipment pieces… but if your solution is solved for now then i prolly wont bother for the moment.

hey @malley, one question,
i was modding the archer outfit and was about to use no hat with it.
but when i tested the hat assigned was the vanilla one
is there a way to set the equipment slot to none without replacing the entire json?
just fixed it with a hat that fits the outfit but the question keept around

I think you should be able to create a hat that is just an empty file? So the character would still be wearing a hat, it would just be invisible.

but that should work too
thanks! 😁
