Sorry Lux, your file looks legit. Maybe Phoenix' method works for some DLCs, and doesn't for others.
No idea what might get it to work this way.

Thanks for the help. It's nice to have to second opinion.

Anyone figure out how to permanetley add powers to henchmen yet?

Nice.

Found a mod that removes the first layer of the tech armour, leaving the holo plates. Purple for the colour.

Thanks Techpriest1.

Figured I'd post it here for others who were looking for modded tech armour.

Inge

I'm so very sorry for the long post. Pardon me Inge but doesn't Zaeed already have grenades? Do you mean giving that ability to Kasumi?

As for modding the DLC's I'm not giving up; if it worked with one DLC.......... I'll get it to work on all DLC's. No limit to my perseverance.  Sorry it didn't work for you Inge. Did you do all of this?

Ok double revised edition:
Ok here is what I did using the Collector DLC as the example again:
Opened directory Program Files\\\\Mass Effect 2\\\\BioGame\\\\DLC\\\\DLC_PRE_Collectors\\\\CookedPC
And then opened these three INI files located there with Notepad++:
BIOWeapon.ini, BIOEngine.ini & BIOGame.ini
And copy the following lines to their appropriate subsection of the Coalesced.ini being sure to remove plus "+" from the start of each line(thanks ZephSunstrider):
[Engine.DLCModules]----------------------------------(BIOEngine.ini)
[SFXGame.BioWorldInfo]------------------------------(BIOGame.ini)
[Engine.StartupPackages]----------------------------(BIOEngine.ini)
[Core.System]--------------------------------------------(BIOEngine.ini)
[Editor.EditorEngine]------------------------------------(BIOEngine.ini)
[SFXGame.SFXEngine]--------------------------------(BIOEngine.ini)
[SFXGame.BioWorldInfo]------------------------------(BIOGame.ini)
[SFXGame.SFXPlayerSquadLoadoutData]-------(BIOGame.ini)

Copy ALL of the BIOWeapon.ini and placed it directly after [SFXGame.SFXWeapon] and before
[SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_AssaultRifle] like so:

[SFXGame.SFXWeapon]
[SFXGameContentDLC......(weapon data)......]--(BIOWeapon.ini)
(NOTE & WARNING!: Place ALL of the BIOWeapon.ini  here and DO NOT seperate gun data and reactions or it will not work.)
Modify what you want of the guns characteristics here as well (IE>> Ammo, refire rate, ect.).
[SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_AssaultRifle]

If any armor this needs to be added too:

Save the Coalesced.ini and run The Fixer.
Now navigate to your DLC directory, something like this: Program Files\\\\Mass Effect 2\\BioGame\\DLC\\DLC_PRE_Collectors\\CookedPC. Create a "New  Folder" and name it something like: "INI Back-Up". Then transfer BIOWeapon.ini & BIOGame.ini to this folder. Be sure to leave BIOEngine.ini as the only .INI in the DLC directory or the in-game item never shows up. I'm still baffeled as to why even when I copied everything from it:mellow:.

Now launch Mass Effect 2. Upon game load your main menu may give you a "not authorized message". Ignore this for it means didly squat (I just love that term:lol:). And your weapons should be there.

Everything works. phoenixofthunder, I tip my hat to you. You actually figured out how to mod DLC weapons. You're the man!

A thought now... with this discovery, can the Hammerhead be modified to endure more punishment? I haven't played any missions yet with the tank myself, but I hear all the rumors. Thoughts?

Modifié par LuxDragon, 05 août 2010 - 09:32 .

[phoenixofthunder]

Glad its working, no DLC going to stop me. As for the Hammerhead its a possiblity though I'd have to look at the ini's first.

Question; if we edit the DLC, and get that message about unauthorized DLC blah blah, anyone know if that 1. invalidates the data Bioware takes regarding player decisions, etc, and 2. invalidates any save games?

[bluedog707]

Do we know if it is possible to make it so certain squad members always wear their "helmets"? I think it would be pretty cool to have grunt or zaeed always wear their helmets. I know I would use zaeed more if this was the case.

Doubtful. Since most people just want to modify the DLC Weapons and Hammerhead, which is what that method (time consuming as it is) allows.

And since the endgame save (the one created just before the credits) is the only one that carries over the save data from the current game to the next game and so far consists of only your decisions, levels, and charcter details. And has as of yet to include your weapons. In ME1  DLC "B.D.T.S." (Bring Down The Sky) all that carried over was your choices.

But if you want to play it safe just place the DLC ini's back in their DLC folder before or during the endgame and  they will override your Coalesced.ini changes. Basically nullifying your changes.

Hmmmmm. Do you have the helmet mesh codes?

@phoenixofthunder

Your tricks worked on firepowerpack too, somehow. Thanks.

there are 2 :

why is that?

My problem is, there isn't any description / blank description for the guns, did i miss something?

No, not having gun info with this method is normal.
Will be fixed in next post.

If I understand I'd like this too. Let me know how it goes.
