Weird issue with Import NPC and Haurchefant

[artemis-codes]

My FC mate was having trouble with loading Haurchefant the other day, and I was able to reproduce what was happening on my PC as well. It seems like only the follow Event NPC entries for Haurchefant in Import NPC actually load/render correctly: 1012892, 1043452, 1007699, 1006426, and 1012909. Basically, if you try to load any version of him not included above, the actor model just vanishes altogether. You can reset appearance to go back to the original actor appearance, so it's not, I don't know, locking anything or permanently borking anything, but it's pretty baffling! I disabled all of my other plugins and mods and verified that it still occurred, fwiw.

Strangely, in some cases (but not all) - I've had the most luck reproducing this with Artoirel, but my FC mate was seeing it with his PC as well (Elezen Male) - if the actor is already a male elezen, Haurchefant will sometimes seem to load, except he won't have his weapons, and it generally seems to just load his head onto whatever gear was already loaded. At this point, he seems functional: you can do anything at all that doesn't force a redraw - change gear, hair color, move bones around, use animations, etc - but as soon as you redraw the actor (either manually or by changing the head model), he just vanishes entirely. You can still see the gear that was loaded and the customization settings in Brio's UI and even change them, but there's no model rendered in-game. Redrawing at this point does nothing - the only thing you can do is reset appearance.

Possibly of interest: for both of us, if we happen to have Anamnesis open at the time, we get the below error whenever trying to load any Haurchefant, including the ones listed above that do render correctly. Note that neither of us was trying to pose in Anam and Brio at the same time or anything like that, we just had it open, and the issue still occurs the same even if Anam is not running. I initially thought it was an Anam issue because of this error, but some testing showed that it was actually Brio (since, as I said, it happens even when Anam isn't running and Brio is the only enabled plugin). I don't know if the error is helpful at all, but I figured I would include it just in case. (This error does not occur if you import any variant of Haurchefant with Anamnesis, even loading him onto a spawned Brio actor in gpose.)

I don't know that this is a critical issue, but it's pretty weird and obviously not expected behavior, so I thought it was worth reporting. I have not noticed it happening with any other npc, but I haven't really tried to test extensively. Hopefully some of this was useful, apologies for the novel.

Not sure why this is happening yet, but the issue is that the Head slot has an invalid item in it, if you change it, it will make Haurchefant render correctly
