I don't think the BP mod does the trick, unfortunately.  I still see throat wounds without any reference to interacting with any armor.  The same goes for chain.

EDIT:  Changing [UBSTEP:0] to [UBSTEP:MAX] or [UBSTEP:2] in the item_armor raw file does the trick, I think.  But it ends up making the BP also protect the face and ears...

most of the face and ears was coverd by most armors.
it's the eyes that are the hard part as you need to see in a fight.
may be some a dont block eyes tag in need for armor.

I disagree.  While testing this out myself, helms do not protect the ears, cheeks, nose, mouth, nor throat.  The breastplate can if you set it to have [UBSTEP:2] or [UBSTEP:MAX].  I tried doing the same to the helm, but it doesn't seem to work.

I think there might be some issues with connectivity, where the neck isn't actually in between the head and torso. I could be wrong, but it would be worth making sure that's working properly first.

All of the joint-type connections act like this -- necks are only attached to the head, elbows are only attached to the lower arm, knees are only attached to the lower leg.  It's part of why severs are currently dumb (you can't cut off someone's head by severing their neck).

... Is there a way to fix that in the raws, or is it just a problem with the new body part system?

[Footkerchief]

It's a problem with the old body part system, which hasn't fundamentally changed in the new version (the tissue layer system mostly sits on top of it, I think).  You could sorta fix it by moving all the HUMANOID_JOINTS stuff up into the main HUMANOID body plan, where you could connect things in the right order.  However, with that approach, if you cut off someone's head by severing their neck, the severed BP would probably be labeled "X's neck" rather than "X's head."  The game already has issues of this kind -- if you sever someone's "upper arm", the resulting severed part is labeled "upper arm" instead of just "arm."

This brings us to the difficult problem of BP semantics -- there are all sorts of groups and subgroups that people use to describe body parts.  The game needs to know that the neck and head are part of the head group, and that the hand is part of the lower arm, and so on.  So you need something like...

Ack, it's more complicated than I thought.  Figures.  We're derailing pretty badly, so I may post a brainstorming thread once I get a handle on it.

Please do!  That would be awesome!
