I was wondering if there's a way to remove the heavy weapon/pistol training through hex editing. Then we could add SR/SG/AR training instead and not have to mod with gibbed's every time we pick up a weapon of the undesired class.


I was wondering the same thing.  If you look at that screen shot Titan posted where it says "weapons class training" there appear to be four bytes of nothing to the right followed by two more four byte sections with the value of 02 in the final byte field.  These values are identical to the "available weapons training" (widow, claymore, rev) values at the bottom of the screen shot.  Maybe if those bytes to the right of  weapons class training that show 02 were overwritten with 00 the pistol and the heavy weapon training would disappear? Might be worth a try.

Right, finally taken the plunge and think I better only play this one on Insanity! Infiltrator with J upgrades on all weapons, a minigun instead of a pistol, mattock, GPS and Widow!

I just broke out Jack and the warden was a one shot kill with the widow - headshot with visor, Kestrel Armour and cloak (almost 250% bonus damage).

In the sceenshot I provided, the area labeled weapon class training is what you would get normally on the collector ship. If you put 00000001 in those areas it will permantaly give you that weapon class. This means you will be able to select any weapon from that class from the armory (Sniper Rifles, Assault Rifles, shotguns) and don't have to edit from gibbed's every time. Giving yourself all three weapon classes will get rid of Heavy weapons from the weapon wheel (and your back), except for the Soldier class (i think). This is because the weapon wheel can only fit 5 weapon types.

You need to have training in the weapons class for the advance weapon to show up in the armory. Example, If your an Adept and want the Widow and Revenant, you have to give yourself assualt rifle training, Sniper Rifle training, and then the advanced weapons.

On the topic of just trying to just get rid of Pistol and Heavy weapons class (without just giving yourself every weapon class), I tried but can't figure it out yet. I think it works the same as with the powers. The game has a check on your class and then loads the correct powers and weapons. If you ever tried removing one of your class power in gibbed's and/or trying to give yourself a power from another class, you know that it doesn't work. The game will just reset the power you tried to remove back to 0 and won't let you have powers from other classes (too bad).

yeah that's too bad, that's what I'd be after.  I don't like the look of a lot of weapons on my back in game so I tend to carry either 1 or none on my back depending on what I'm doing and maybe one pistol or submachine gun on my hip.

Hey folks I've been away playing Reach but trying to catch up. Really like the changes I see Titan has found on some editing that makes things easier.



I really can't hex edit but if anyone has a super elite character is there any chance it can be uploaded so we could resign and rehash it. I'd of course change the face and probably the sex but the powers and weapons I am reading about really have me interested. I just can't do that sort of hex editing :/

ugh i didn't read the page where you did what I just asked and did it in such detail, lol

I have been using a 14 power setup of which I have 8 active at a time and I reset on the ship but I want to see how yours is so thanks!!

Ya char is a tank. It's like I am on normal it can take so much damage and destroy shields
If I change the class on the file will it mess up the tweaked powers and weapons or just set them to their default settings ?
I wanted to see how the infiltrator pwned with it's bonus powers just for a laugh but I don't want to mess things up.

Great work!

edit

I looked at the hex stuff and it's over my head, lol
I really wish i could get the j weapons and the barrier and health to where you have it but I am just going to break it for sure!
I have a play that's got all but 1 (legion) recruited and most loyal and I wanted to tweak that one as I already have added like 6 powers that I can use the ones I want just by resetting the 80 points. That works great but this deep stuff is way over my head. I wish gibbs was still a work in progress but I will be happy with what I can do with it!

If someone gets bored and wantts to edit a save of mine I will upload one :)

Here is my file which has 12 powers to pick from. It's an adept female and a few other tweaks I just can't get the shields and health stuff upgraded or the base weapons to that maxed out level. I used an adept just to have lift and throw and singularity....lots of lolz using those powers and adding other abilitys makes it a fun character, slam, reave, dominate or ammo settings. One thing is I added kasumis power but it did not show for some reason so I removed it, odd.

Quick question: after doing the Hex editing, has anyone else had the game crash when you try to do any kind of research? It keeps happening to me whenever I try to research upgrades that we don't have the hex values for.

I put 10/10 for tech and biotics and I was able to research the cooldowns - but I don't think I've researched anything totally unrelated to something I edited.

That might be the problem. Everything I have is upgraded to like 15/15 or something ridiculous like 160/160.

I gave myself 15/15 shields and that worked fine but nothing like 160/160

I just input the values like Nu Titan did and somehow got 2816/2816 for Heavy Pistol damage. Everything else is below 20/20, with Biotic damage being 17/17. I'm going to try to work on reducing the pistol damage to something reasonable like 13/13.

I've tried 20/20 on all of them and could research the other upgrades fine - Cain, AR Accuracy, etc. so seems likely that your pistol damage is the one causing the issue. FYI 20 is 00000014 and 10 is 0000000A.

Well, I fixed the Heavy Pistol one, but it still crashes. I think it has something to do with me having picked up the first AR and SMG upgrades. Not sure what to do now.

In hex 160 = 00 00 00 A0 and 10 = 00 00 00 0A so watch your fingers as it's not difficult to screw up.

2816 = 00 00 0B 00 and 11 = 00 00 00 0B seems like you were just careless with the hex values.

I'll upload a modded version of your save tonight but it may take me a while because I'm using it for some tests right now. I found Krogan Vitality and I'm trying to find Geth Shield Boost as well.

The 160 came from me looking at one set of upgrades that was 16/16, so I got a 160% boost, but I fixed the 2816. I think it was the way the hex values were placed in my save that caused me to mess up the pistol damage.

When i first did mine I put the values at 00 00 00 64 = 100\\100 =1000% mine did not crash but it made the human reaper a one shot kill with the pistol not fun at all. Also when you do shield and health up grades does your squad get them because mine did at first but not anymore.

Yeah, you have to watch you don't just recreate casual gameplay. My adept sucked - the game was way too easy with my upgraded biotics and guns.

The weapon and shield upgrades will also affect you squad. You should try not to set the weapons too high, because you and your squad is doing way too much damage. The shield problem you have is a glitch with the game itself. just save and reload and the shield value will be correct.

Actually, the save works fine. I finished Horizon already and Ashley acts like you romanced her in ME1 (says she loved you or something). The only problem is when you talk to joker after that mission. You will miss like one sentence of dialogue (because the female shepard doesn't have a recorded vioce over for that part). You can still see it if you have subtitles on.

The only thing is, this save might have a problem in ME3 if you try to import (this is not my main save anyways). You might be able to fix it by just changing the romance flag in gibb's after you finish (if you want to try to import to ME3).

Here is your save back: http://www.filefront...ave_1073.xbsav/

The number is now at 1073 as opposed to the original 1070 because I had to load and see what you had in it to mod it.

All upgrades including Krogan Vitality and Geth Shield Strength are now at 10/10, I gave you the Shotgun class propperly so you don't have to load a SG over your heavy weapon like you did before and the Reverant AR and Claymore SG are available in the weapon locker of the SR2 to equip/unequip as you please.

Thanks Darth and David for all of the help here and Titan nice to hear Ashley reacted properly to the femshep. I wonder how Liara will act...hummmm.



well, we could hope in ME3 Ashley goes bi and a three way is in the works!!!



Bioware make it happen!



Also anyone this DLC will be out that is geared towards ashley but to do that it also would be Kaiden DLC, right ? Not sure they would code DLC for that. Shadow broker was really a great DLC pack and instead of getting worse the DLC got a lot better. Unlike Morigans DLC for Dragon age which no one recommends getting.



Anyways, off to play ME

This is Nu-Titan's image of the hex editor and where the values of the upgrades are, I just added where I found the Krogan Vitality and Geth Shield Strength upgrades. Please verify and let me know if the locations work guys. More specifically the Krogan Vitality Upgrade is the 2nd byte before the Biotic DMG upgrade and the Geth Shield Strength upgrade is the 18th byte after the Biotic DMG upgrade.....please let me know if they work for you as well.

Liara acts like you romanced her too. I already meet her on Illium, but haven't done the DLC yet. I'm very certain that it will be fine, since it is a "normal" romance choice.
