Mod characters cause ghost hats to break globally

[rezecib]

So I've been working on Wigfrid and Webber, and I noticed that no matter what I get rid of, all other ghost hats seem to break (that is, things like Wilson's hair on his ghosts, or Willow's hair, and presumably Wigfrid's little ghost helmet).

 

I decided to test this with a dummy mod character that's only four lines long (you also have to provide bigportrait files, though):

 

modmain.lua:

PrefabFiles = {"dummy"}AddModCharacter("dummy")

scripts/dummy.lua:

local MakePlayerCharacter = require "prefabs/player_common"return MakePlayerCharacter("dummy") 

This alone seemed to cause Wilson ghosts, etc, to lose their hats (and doing ThePlayer.AnimState:Show("HAT") had no effect).

 

Right now I'm kind of stumped. It was hilarious at first, but I can't see why it would be happening in the first place...

Crazy idea,

Dummy has no ghost hat, game finds asset without ghost hat, Game decides ghost hat musts be broken skipping it.

 

It's a long shot, but plausible.

@StalkinU, Well, it also occurs if you do :AddTag('ghostwithhat') in the common_postinit (which is where Wilson, Willow, etc, specify it). Also, if I add Wigfrid's ghost build to the assets to force it to load, but don't add any mod characters, and then switch Wilson's ghost to Wigfrid's build while in-game, then the hat shows up. But if I add Wigfrid, her ghost hat doesn't show up.

That's odd, seeing as the default ghost you dig up in graves is Wigfrid... right? How is that texture referenced differently?
