    Category: KAG Server
    Operating system: Windows
    Build number: 1453
    Description: When Entities/Character/Builder/BuilderFemale.png is replaced by a mod (even if the mod's BuilderFemale.png is identical to the base game's BuilderFemale), heads and held items of female players will be displayed in the wrong position.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Create a new Mod in the game's mods folder
    2) Copy the base game's "Entities/Character/Builder/BuilderFemale.png" to the mod's "Entities/Character/Builder" folder.
    3) Add the Mod's name to mods.cfg
    4) Run "dedicatedserver.bat".
    5) Join the server and set your sex to female.

    The info that this only affects female sprites is quite useful; since they're both loaded in the same way, must be something to do with the precaching. I'll see if I can add dummy sprite references to the fem sprites in next build to "fix it"

    OMG, thank the heavens. You don't know how long I've waited for a fix for this. Hopefully the method you suggested works out.

    I believe this is an issue with the ReloadSprite() script as if you don't specify the full path of the sprite name, it doesn't reload the head pixels properly, resulting in floating head/items. The reason it works for males as opposed to females is that there's no reason to reload the male sprite as it's already loaded from the get go.

    That is indeed a workaround, but since it's only broken for these sprites (afaik? are there any others?) having a proper fix that doesn't break vanilla is surely a good thing.

    I'm not convinced this is the reason, though it may prove to be. Looks to me that reloadsprite throws out whatever's there regardless of if it's about to be reloaded or not.

    Tbf, it might not be, but the code that loads the head pixels might be screwing up because of it.
