Picking the head frame for paperdoll helmet

How do I pick which head frame a helmet uses on the paperdoll? For two-handed weapons I can pick that in the "spot frame" box in the paperdoll tab of a shape, but with helmets that is greyed out.

This is actually set in the NPC's paperdoll data.

Hmm, we seem to have a misunderstanding here. What I meant to ask is how I can define for each piece of headgear individually whether it uses the full head or the cropped head paperdoll frame. Most helmets use the cropped head, but for instance for crowns you would want to use the full head.

Also, pre-existing helmets in Black Gate and Serpent Isle are set to use spot frame 1, but I cannot set any helmet to that myself.

Shapes > Obj Paperdoll is where you're looking, I believe, yes?
Spot Frame is not currently editable in ES to my knowledge, but I may be wrong.

You can select Spot Frame for two-handed weapons, as I mentioned above.

That's new since I messed with paperdolls then. Does it work for helmets? I'm guessing not?
You can edit the raw item data with a hex editor as a workaround but its a real pain.

I've never been able to fully understand the paperdoll stuff. I was trying to put that cloth armor you made for the U6 mod but stuff overlaps and nothing seems to go where I need it to :/ What files do you edit to get your paperdoll stuff to go where it needs to go Crowley?

I recently added my mystic armor graphics to my mod, and I've been having trouble with that myself. All other spots seem go all right, but the torso I cannot fathom. When I equip the armor on a male, the female torso section overlaps with the male one. With female at least the torso shows all right, but with neither the arms are nowhere to be seen. I used the Serpent Isle shape settings as a guide: eight frames for body armor, even-numbered for female and odd for male, first two are the chest pieces and the rest are for arms in different positions.

You will need to manually edit spot frame in paperdol.txt. ES only seems to allow you to edit it if the ready slot is both hands. No hex editor is needed.

Spot frame editing for helmets should be working in Exult Studio once Kirben updates the snapshot.

Yeah, for some reason, I forgot to enable it in ES; thanks for fixing it, Malignant Manor; I am still configuring my new laptop (old one died) and would be unable to fix it myself.

It was enabled but bugged to use the amulet ready spot. A Change in the ES menu order in the glade file could have screwed up the code. Separators count as slots too.
Here's a sample of what I took out of glade for my use in fixing stuff if you want to look at the diff and understand what got changed.
