Do not ask when mod authors will update their mods or if they can upload older versions of their mods.
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to bans.

Removes some restrictions regarding wearing headwear: helmets, headsets, facemasks, faceshields, eyewear

Allows you (and bots) to wear headwear with less restrictions.

There are a lot of options, including removing blocks between following categories in any combination:

Helmets
Headsets
Facecovers
Eyewear
Face Shields

Check config for details.

If you wanna be true homie or say thanks for time I've spent modding the game, feel free to send me a coffee on kofi

I effectively stopped playing SPT in favor of PvE since I can play with friends there (and no I don't care about coop SPT mods).
I will be keeping this mod up-to-date as best as I could, however I do not follow SPT dev cycle anymore so might take some time for updates since I literally miss new SPT releases. My 3.9.X and 3.10.X updates were put up literally because someone tipped me on ko-fi and it send email to me so I was like "oh, new SPT version is up"

Added faceshields. Since they cant be easily identified in code it has to be on id basis. Check config.

Hi, nice mod.

Hi, great mod and really appreciate the work you've done for this, however this mod doesn't seem to work with the Ops-Core FAST MT Super High Cut helmet equipped with Ops-Core FAST Side Armor (Ear Armor) are their plans to add this compatibility in the future? I made a dirty edit to your source. IDK if their is any fallout of this but here is the edited TS File to allow earpros to the helmets. I pulled the config values for the helmet rather than creating a new config entry, (cause I just wanted a poc and didn't care about formality) I've tested this and it works. However like I said it is a dirty edit and changes waaay to many items because it looks at the baseclass of Equipment.

I've made an edit to the mod.ts & config to give a configurable section for EarArmor similar to all other items in the mod & added to the mod.ts to do a fuzzy match based on the name & parentID

To use my edits:

1. Replace the mod.ts in <SPT Install Directory>\user\mods\MusicManiac-LessRestrictingHeadwear\src

2. Replace config.jsonc in <SPT Install Directory>\user\mods\MusicManiac-LessRestrictingHeadwear

Code: mod.ts

I've made Edits to the code to add new section to the config & fuzzy match based on name & parentID the existing Ops-Core & other ear protection armors.

To use this just replace the code in <SPT Install folder>/user/mods/MusicManiac-LessRestrictingHeadwear/mod.ts
Make sure you remove the mod.js file and mod.js.map prior to starting your server (I'm not sure if this will cause any issue if they exist as I'm sure it will just write over them, however it's always best to remove artifacts)

What would i need to change so i can wear the Altyn with faceshield and a headset? ive trieds setting everything to false except "Clear Conflicting Items" and still wouldnt work
- MusicManiac Jan 6th 2025 Author
  
  you need to set to true my man, read the name of settings, "removeBlocksHeadwear"
  if you set it to false, do you think "removeBlocksHeadwear" will REMOVE "blocks headwear" field?
Wowfe Dec 31st 2024

Can confirm mod doesn't work at all can't put on headsets with helmets and eararmor
- MusicManiac Jan 3rd 2025 Author
  
  I can check it a bit in 2 weeks when I'm back home.
  Please tell what items don't work together so I can check the details.
  Comment under mentions fast mt with ear armor and headsets. Any additional things to check?
- captinjoehenry Jan 11th 2025
  
  Wendy Ears also block headsets
- MusicManiac Jan 12th 2025 Author
  
  Ear armor can be added to faceshields list in config.
  You can find IDs here: https://db.sp-tarkov.com/search
  Everything added past 3.8.0 is not in the list. If someone wants to update the list with new faceshields and/or ear armor, feel free to do so and send it here.
  
  Mod is not broken, just new things are not added to default settings yet.
SPTisBettrThanLive Dec 10th 2024

doesnt seem to be working, not really sure why, cant put fast MT with ear armor on with headsets

i dont know if i did the config wrong but its not doing what its supposed to do, the server loads the mod but despite what i change in the config it wont work, yes i have restarted the server after changing the config

these are the current settings.

"Headwear" : {
"removeBlocksHeadwear" : false,
"removeBlocksEarpiece" : false,
"removeBlocksFaceCover" : false,
"removeBlocksEyewear" : false,
"clearConflictingItems" : true
},

"removeBlocksHeadwear" : false,
"removeBlocksEarpiece" : false,
"removeBlocksFaceCover" : false,
"removeBlocksEyewear" : false,
"clearConflictingItems" : true
},

"removeBlocksFaceCover" : false,
"removeBlocksEyewear" : false,
"clearConflictingItems" : true
},
- MusicManiac Dec 6th 2024 Author
  
  You have only cleared conflicting items. It doesn't allow you to wear everything with everything.
Maverick Oct 22nd 2024

Uh, I'm still not able to equip Fast MT Faceshield with a Gas mask. (Although, I don't have F12 config either, even though my server did, in fact, load the mod)
GMAK3R Aug 27th 2024

Hello Love this mod!

Anyone know how to make altyn FaceShield not allow FaceCovers?

I have issues with Altyn + Tagilla mask on AI PMC.

or FaceShields in general not allow FaceCovers.
- MusicManiac Dec 6th 2024 Author
  
  Check config
D Rose_01 Aug 8th 2024

FYI your mod conflicts with the painter mod. Nothing in his store will load if I have this installed. Can reproduce every single time if need be. Tripple checked.
- Liksi Aug 12th 2024
  
  Unfortunately for you, this mod works for me with no issues with painder mod.
- D Rose_01 Aug 12th 2024
  
  I have 83 mods installed so I know it works fine normally, I have a confliction somewhere. Other then that my mods run completely fine without this one, I get 80+ fps on every map.
Vilnxie Aug 6th 2024

any chance on making it compatible with "SPT Realism mod"? specifically gas mask's, some reason this mod disables the radiation and toxins protection on every gas mask in the game.
- Maverick Oct 24th 2024
  
  Same happened to me. Use "mod load order" mod (which is available on spt website) and, with this tool, make sure that Realism loads AFTER "Less Restricting Headwear" mod.
- Vilnxie Nov 3rd 2024
  
  I am actually surprised that somebody answered my question, but yeah did what you told and it works like a charm, thanks!
D Rose_01 Aug 2nd 2024

Does this conflict with "props in raid modding" or realism mods setting called "Headgear Conflicts"? I'm running all three. Seems to be working was just curious.
DizzilyHQ Jun 13th 2024

Hi nice mod i just dont understand the config very well but is it possible to make only more headphones possible and not make masks able to be worn with helmets?
If so would be nice if you teach me
obese_microwabe May 14th 2024

is it possible to make it you can put an ops-core fast visor on a helemt as well as FAST ears/gunsight?
https://imgur.com/a/b963ex1 like this but you cant normally
- MusicManiac May 15th 2024 Author
  
  No because they take same slot on helmet attachments.
  
  At least not by this mod.
cosmiccowboy May 9th 2024

Hey, it seems like with the 3.8.1 update the faceware issue is happening again, I cant figure out why.
Celeroon Apr 24th 2024

I'm wondering, will this make it so Scavs and pmc bots also can wear both facemasks and helmets for example?
- MusicManiac Apr 25th 2024 Author
  
  yes
Dreamronin Apr 18th 2024
Here's the fix for Face-Cover + Helmet issue

Open up mod.js file in the src folder of MusicManiac-LessRestrictingHeadwear with something like Notepad++, Sublime or VSCode.(Something that shows the numbered line of code)
Look at lines 43 and 44
Change BlocksFaceCover to BlocksHeadwear so that it looks like this (case sensitive; Make sure it EXACTLY "BlocksHeadwear")

Code

if (this.config.allowAllFacemasksWithAllHelmets && itemDB[item]._props.BlocksHeadwear) { itemDB[item]._props.BlocksHeadwear = false; allowAllFacemasksWithAllHelmets++; }

I've tested it and it works. Can even wear a Fast MT w/ Heavy Trooper with CQCM Facemask!
Also wearing ComTac4's the whole time

I've downloaded the updated version, and noticed that the ID: "60a7ad3a0c5cb24b0134664a" Tagilla's welding mask "gorilla" remains incompatible with headsets (at least with comtac 4) after being added to the exceptions list
Zakastra Apr 12th 2024

Just popped on to say thankyou for the awesome mod, and point out the neosteel issue, but that's been reported already, so thanks again for the mod and your hard work
S_gamez Apr 12th 2024

Hey came by to say this is not on the list.
- ayriemaen Apr 12th 2024
  
  Literally two posts down someone already pointed that out and MusicManiac said "I'll check later"

  This is fixed in the main version so no need for custom fix
4g0tt3nSou1 Apr 11th 2024

Seems like a neat mod. Any chance it can also remove restrictions of NVG's and Faceplates at the same time?
- MusicManiac Apr 11th 2024 Author
  
  Usually NVGs and faceshields take same slot in gear so it wouldn't change much
- S_gamez Apr 12th 2024
  
  Would like this too for the few helmets that is might be possible like the Exfil's Tor2 and some other if still possible. where also face shields stays static of both is on? thanks a lot in advance regardless.
- username79899194 Apr 12th 2024
  
  @S_gamez
  
  What mod is that in the screenshot? I mean what mod is able to set durability of any helmet/armor.
- S_gamez Apr 12th 2024
  
  username79899194
  
  SVM/ greed
  
  Code example:
  #NPP KlASS Tor-2 helmet (Olive Drab) Top
  657fa0fcd4caf976440afe3e:armorClass:10
  657fa0fcd4caf976440afe3e:Durability:500
  657fa0fcd4caf976440afe3e:MaxDurability:500
  #Team Wendy EXFIL Ballistic Helmet (Coyote Brown)(Black) Top
  6551fec55d0cf82e51014288:armorClass:10
  6551fec55d0cf82e51014288:Durability:1500
  6551fec55d0cf82e51014288:MaxDurability:1500
- username79899194 Apr 13th 2024
  
  Ah, okay, thank you for letting me know how.
Greev Apr 11th 2024

This is a much welcome mod, but it doesn't seem to affect the new neosteel helmet/mask. There are probably more things, but that's just the conflict I've run into so far.
- MusicManiac Apr 11th 2024 Author
  
  I'll check later
- 4g0tt3nSou1 Apr 12th 2024
  
  I was curious why this was, so I looked up the item in the Item Finder, and I think the reason it's not working is because it's already set to
  "BlocksEarpiece":false
  "BlocksEyewear":false
  "BlocksHeadwear":false
  "BlocksFaceCover":false
  
  The code of the plugin simply seems to check for any headware with any of those set to true, and makes it false, but for some reason despite it being false, the ComTac 4's just don't want to seem to play nice.
  
  Looking at both items there is 0 reason why these should be incompatible, but I think I figured it out.
  It's actually the mandible that causes incompatibilities, not the headset.
  
  See item "6570a88c8f221f3b210353b7"'s conflictingitems.
- 4g0tt3nSou1 Apr 12th 2024
  
  After some tweaking, a quick fix while Music corrects this oddity, to remove the restrictions imposed by the mandible, if you use SVM's Individual Item Changer, try 6570a88c8f221f3b210353b7:ConflictingItems:[]
- Greev Apr 12th 2024
  
  Thanks.
sirhroflstomp Mar 20th 2024

any way to have this work with CQCM mask? it still seems to block helmets
- sirhroflstomp Apr 11th 2024

before the version from this mod i never had this problem thats why i asking if there is a bug or something else ?
Shturman Sep 30th 2023

I've noticed that the helmets from PMCs now used Altyn shields and a lot of other extra seats, so all the places from Helm are occupied, some of the PMCs have several faceshilds on their helmets, is this normal? If not, how can it be fixed?
- MusicManiac Sep 30th 2023 Author
  
  never seen such issue in over more than 200 raids, you're probably running some other mod that changes that
- Shturman Sep 30th 2023
  
  maybe i change the bot loudouts with svm idk xD

классный мод! можно ли в будущем добавить функцию "удалить худ шлемов и масок" ?
- MusicManiac Jul 25th 2023 Author
  
  Would require editing bundles so not by me.
AlexLAN Jul 24th 2023

Great mod! Removes many restrictions. And it would be nice to do the same for armor and armored unloadings (otherwise, constantly changing "BlocksArmorVest": true - to false in files is not very convenient)
- MusicManiac Jul 24th 2023 Author
  
  if you mean that u want to wear armored rigs with normal armor, you can do that with SVM

- AlexLAN Jul 24th 2023
  
  Yes, that's what I meant. But in SVM, if you enable the option, the bots also use it))
- MusicManiac Jul 24th 2023 Author
  
  it would be the same if i make it a standalone mod
