Hi Jürgen,
Sure, it's actually quite simple:

Step 1
First you need the Individual Helmets and Wheels Tweaks.
Then you open the file patch_helmets_lod0.ini and copy the code to patch.ini from the CSM mod. The patch.ini should look like this afterwards:

[Main]
Format=

[V1.00] 
Offset1=0x00
Code1=

[V1.02] 

Offset1=0x00
Code1=	;0x31, 0xC0, 0xBB, 0xA0, 0x78, 0x47, 0x00, 0x8B,0x4E, 0x08, 0x51, 0x50, 0x50, 0x51, 0x68, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x50, 0xFF, 0xD3, 0xFE, 0xC7,0x59, 0xFF, 0xD3, 0x66, 0xBB, 0x60, 0x7B, 0x59,0xFF, 0xD3, 0x31, 0xDB, 0xB3, 0x28, 0x8D, 0x7C,0xDE, 0x5C, 0x90

; Enable Individual Helmet Shapes per driver
Offset2=0x0024428E
Code2=0x00

; Update Helmet Shape File Name Pattern
Offset3=0x00244410
Code3=0x43, 0x41, 0x52, 0x5F, 0x25, 0x73, 0x5F, 0x48, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6D, 0x65, 0x74, 0x25, 0x64, 0x5F, 0x4C, 0x4F, 0x44, 0x5F, 0x30

Make sure to name the offsets and the codes in the right order as marked above (1, 2, 3,...).
Otherwise you can also use the cap file and place it in the patch folder of the mod but personally i prefer the way via patch.ini.

Step 2
Copy all *.gp4 files to F1 2001\Data\Helmets\_Shape (car_jaguar_helmet1_lod_0). Make sure they are exactly named like this ( _lod_0.gp4 at the end)


Step 3
Open csm.ini and add these lines under [Misc]:

HighLodOnly				=0
HighLodCars				=1
HighLodHelmets			=0
HighLodFrontWheel			=1
HighLodRearWheel			=1
HighLodCockpit			=1

Step 4
For the textures i would retain the structure from the mod (as described in F1 2001\Data\Helmets\default.ini) and just replace the textures.


I hope that helps,
Carl

if i open the Tweaker 0.9 there is no patch_helmets_lod0.ini and i don't know where the file is stored. The second thing is, what happens with the driver changes for the teams, like Zonta and Alesi for Jordan, Burti for Jaguar, Frentzen for Prost, Marques, Yoong a.s.o. Do i have to simply overwrite the helmet shapes from Frentzen and the other drivers, or how it works?

for driver changes you need a new csm structure for helmets (for example in the same way like it is done with cars).

yes, i know, but i think it's related only to the tex files, if i'm correct. Or do i have to copy the shapes in the related tex files folders, like for Frentzen/ Prost in Belgium, or Yoong/Monza in Minardi then?

yes Jurgen, you will need to find a way of swapping the helmet shapes for the changes in drivers in the same way that you do for the tex files.
In fact, your idea of storing the helmet shape with the tex file is a good solution.

oh that's good. Thank you, kev

edit: for me it seemes not to work. The game crashes instantly during the loading for the track. Dunno what's wrong here

Remember that tweaker0.9b by Duffer is only for non-CSM users and using it may cause the crash to desktop as you mentioned.

I don't know how this works with CSM mods but if you use helmets without CSM and use Duffer's tweaker, then if you update anything to your gp4 (by using team editor or gp4tweaker etc.) you will need to open tweaker 0.9b again and do the things, as either the game will crash while loading.

thank you for the info, Vesa. I think i'll keep it with only one helmet shape, because it's all to difficult for me. Maybe i'm too old for such things

if i find time next weekend i can build a cmu update for you

that sounds very good. Thank you so much, Carl

if there's a gpxpatch error log, you could share that, maybe we can see what the gp4.exe is trying to look for and not finding

Thank you very much!

If you did I would really appreciate Carl!

Superb stuff Heikki! Thank you!

with current mod structure it's almost impossible to implement it for driver changes. for all "static" drivers it works:

if we would have one single word for %drivername%, it would work for the rest as well.

Cool graphics Carl.

I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

@kev, no worries, i've rebuilt everything to the original files and leave it as it is

Updates 30/9/2021

- Shape updates for Williams FW23



I managed to fix some normals on the sidepods to get smoother reflections. Also some other small adjustments here and there. Only the shape files are updated, the textures have stayed the same.

- Tyres & Rims set updated with different shapes for Bridgestone and Michelin

*Please note that the Individual wheels tweak by Öggo or Individual H&W Tweaker 0.9b by Duffer is required to get both shapes working ingame*

I have tested these only with the non-CSM approach (Duffer's Individual H&W Tweaker 0.9b) and everything seems to be working fine, both helmet and wheel tweaks enabled together.
