Is there something that I can modify to increase the duration of Cloak?

Hya!

Q: I really like combining this texture: BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R.Mira.HMF_HED_PROMira_Face_Diff_Stack
With my Femshep's face. The only problem is i get a strange super-reflective effect that makes the change between light and shade way too drastic.

Is it possible to do somthing about it?


Thanks 

It might have something to do with the alpha channel of the texture, try extracting it with texmod and opening it with an image editing program.  The alpha channel is in black and white and it is what tells the game how shiny to make a surface.  White is very shiny and black is not shiny.  Or it could be you are combining two face textures and the game is using both alpha channels at the same time making shepard's face very shiny.

the texture mod that alters the scars coloring isn't a true blue, and the one that does change them to a true blue, is female only.

Male shep colored scarring (wrong/incomplete):

female shep colored scarring (complete/female-only)
http://social.biowar...m/project/3163/

As for the eye color, I am well aware of how to do it using Gibbed's but that only applies to non-default appearance sheps.

I suppose it's my fault for not supplying enough information/examples regarding my question, But now I have.

I would like to be able to have those electric blue scars like in the female example, above, with electric blue eyes, for a default appearance, male, shep. Can it be done, Or am I asking too much?

How does this look:

Very true. If not for Azureum and many others, ME2 modding would still be in the dark ages.

Including you phoenixofthunder. I'm not forgetting your great contributions!

And thanks to Inge for the quick help!

Or you could just add powers permanently via the savegame editor...

The "Permanently" doesn't work for normal powers, only for loyalty powers, and only up until you choose a new one via Advanced Training. Adding Warp Ammo via Editor works, adding Biotic Charge doesn't.
That is, unless you found some other way. If so, mind to share?

It's some kind of integrity check when starting. Havn't found a workaround, and gave up after lots of trial-and-error.
So far, no one has been able to modify the DLC inis without the game pouting about it.

Ive changed all the weapons in the new weapon dlc.....more ammo.....rate of fire...etc
changed most of the dlc weapons and hammerhead thrusters
just have to use ************ (removed due to the possiblility of EA black chopters flying over my house)

Ive been reading up on this modding of ME2 and im quite intrigued. I know nothing of modding and I understand that ME2 doesnt have a dev kit and that modding is extremely difficult, so Im going to shoot some questions that I couldn't find the answers to;
(If the answers are out there and I missed em, sorry for wasting your time)

- Is it possible to create new locations? As in new maps?
- I know your able to re-skin and re-texture allies, but what if I wanted to have more then two outfit for an ally, is that possible? As in being able to cycle through more then the default and loyal outfits. Like adding a third or forth slot?
- Could I create weapons/armor from scratch and add them to the game? Perhaps even add them to a store to be purchased first?

To say the least, the last one is the one Im most interested in. I felt personally the game was about replacing your weapon with a better one. (At least with the heavy handguns and assault rifles.) I would have liked more choices , but that could just be me.

I understand this would require an insane amount of work, and may not be even possible without the dev tools to edit the game, but I am quite curious.

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):

Copy ALL of the BIOWeapon.ini and placed it directly after [SFXGame.SFXWeapon] and before

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.

My eyes hurt reading so many updates, anyway, doesn't work for me. but I have been able to change Kasumi's weapons loadout to anything I like (as well as any of the other henchmen.).

This is what I have done. But will need to changes this in every level in Coalesced.ini file.

[SFXGame.SFXDifficulty]
EnemyPowerCooldownMultiplier=1.0
SquadPowerDurationMultiplier=3.0    ;;1.0 /* higher number, power last longer */
SquadPowerCooldownMultiplier=1.0

[SFXGame.SFXDifficulty_Level1]
SquadPowerDurationMultiplier=3.0    ;;1.1 /* change this in every level */

- Shepard

You only need to change it in the difficulty in which one plays. It really only benefits Insanity setting since that difficulty can be pretty hard in places, but it makes the game too easy on the lesser difficulties. Try playing it on level 6, where the enemies are about 50 times more resistant to attack.

Hi all! This thread is so big now I can't find the tutorial as to how to install the Armor Locker 2.0. Can anyone tell me where I can find it?

Thanks a lot! Cheers

Hello everyone and sorry for the English.



I have a question for the one who could help me.



The planets with anomalies: you know that EDI appears saying "anomaly detected" and then you have to find the radio frequency and launch the probe. Is It possible to skip this and have direct access to the description of the anomaly and the land option?

OK, I got it to work, in a way. The weapons are there, and I get the DLC not loaded warning, but it loads anyway. The interesting part is, I cannot set the ammo amounts (as just an example of making a change), but the amounts are not the normal amounts, weird. Also, in the list where I choose my weapons, either from the weapons kiosk on the ship, or at the beginning of a mission, the names are blank.

As I posted earlier it has to do with the alpha channel of the Mira texture you are using.  Mira is the hologram on the Citadel and those shiny parts are probably the code that is streaming down her face.  I think the only way to fix it is to extract the texture with Texmod and edit the alpha channel until you get the results you want.

Bottom line is, we're limited to what we can do inside the C.ini, and a little texture pushing. Besides that, we can't do anything. ME2 isn't supposed to be modded, and you feel that everywhere.

Nope, it's part of the minigame, and would require lots of coding-around we can't do.
Unless you want to activate all the N7-missions from the game onwards, then it might work. (BIG might, though)

Any ideas??
Have tried to changes this ups and downs, back and forwards, without any result..

The bHideHair flag doesn't apply for males it seems. That black rim is your hair sticking out. I experimented alot with that, because it bothered me too. However I didn't find any solution to this, except maybe making Shep bald. It might also work for the more "hairy" male hairstyles, the ones where you actually have hair on the head, not running around half-bald. Never tried that, though. All my ManSheps have the Sarge Spike haircut.

Ok, I'll try it, but... how I activate/unlock the N7  missions? Any trainer/mod? or any line to edit in the coalesced.ini?

This is normal with this method.

Really?  What changes did you make to your Coalesced.ini?  There are only 2 sections that require changes to make them work.  Here is an example from mine, using the Mattock:

[SFXGame.SFXPlayerSquadLoadoutData] ;this section requires the weapon name e.g.
AssaultRifles=(className="SFXGameContentDLC_Desert.SFXWeapon_DesertAssaultRifle")
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[SFXGameContentDLC_Desert.SFXWeapon_DesertAssaultRifle] ;This is inserted after [SFXGame.SFXWeapon]
--Followed by weapon stats--

Once this is done rename your BIOWeapon.ini (leave it in it original directory so the DLC file structure remains intact).  You will not get any warnings and you will have full controll of your DLC weapons with less work.  Plus the names remain whenever your selecting loadout.  Also, the SFXGameContent section can be placed in any order under the [SFXGame.SFXWeapon] section.  The order determines the order they appear in the loadout screen.  I can post a section of my Coalesced.ini to show what I am talking about if you like

Hope I don't come off like a jerk.  I'm just trying to help
