Sorry if it's been mentioned already but did anyone manage to get garrus' eye piece onto their shepard yet?

Dude, are you sure this works?

I was curious since I had the impression that "Shields" meant any bar except red, and I'm not familiar with the other designations listed.

I tested it, and Armor (or Armour) doesn't block powers...

Those lines however were not in my coalesced.ini , do I have to manually add them under the same sections as ShieldsBlockPowers? I wonder why...

An yes, I do want to bring the old Mass Effect feel of the powers. Ideally, shields should block tech, while barriers biotics, while armor just protects the user's health. But I've found no way to trick the game and achieve this (though I noticed this may have been a design feature at earlier stages of development, as tech powers like Incinerate barely do any damage to shields and barriers).

I noticed something interesting about the EnemyShieldBonus line - at level 5 difficulti (Hardcore?) it's 150.0f (!) , but at level 6 (Insanity) it's just 0.65f ... is that a bug?

Turian Antiquarian I try not to cheat with the setting, but it's annoying that some enemies, like the Vorcha and LOKI mechs, as you said made to be rag-dolled, can't be, because of their armor layers on Insanity... :/

Got me:unsure:.

Wow! you'll do 70+ pages? I'll thank you.
I'm compiling all data that is still relevant from Modding Is Possible 1 & 2.
The email is up to page 50 of Modding Is Possible 1

We both know that as you go up in page numbers, there are more repetitions and more spam. that's the problem with these threads...

I'm surprised you found something important that azerum missed when he started this thread.

Yes.
Shields - Blue
Armor - Yellow
Barrier - Purple
Health - Red

When set to true it Will block powers.
If set to false it will not block powers.

Burdovka, tell me if you manage to make only some types of shielding to block powers. for me, the bShieldsBlockPowers argument is just on/off regardless of what i add.

Which color is the bar?
Shields - Blue
Armor - Yellow
Barrier - Purple
Health - Red

To stop powers from working on certain types of defense:
Shields - Blue
bShieldsBlockPowers=true

Armor - Yellow
bArmorBlockPowers=true

Barrier - Purple
bBarrierBlockPowers=true

To keep powers from being blocked by types of defense:
Shields - Blue
bShieldsBlockPowers=false

Armor - Yellow
bArmorBlockPowers=false

Barrier - Purple
bBarrierBlockPowers=false

Must be under [SFXGame.SFXGameConfig] Coalescecd.ini section

This is how I tested it:



[SFXGame.SFXGameConfig]

bShieldsBlockPowers=true

bArmorBlockPowers=false

bBarrierBlockPowers=true



and biotic powers didn't damage LOKI mechs with armor, or Eclipse mercs with shields - just like in vanilla. Does the alphabetical order matter?

Try this:
[SFXGame.SFXGameConfig]
bShieldsBlockPowers=false
bArmorBlockPowers=true
bBarrierBlockPowers=false


Consider the True/False an On/Off Light Switch
True=On
False=Off

So:
bShieldsBlockPowers=false {No powers won't be blocked}
bArmorBlockPowers=true {Yes powers WILL be blocked}
bBarrierBlockPowers=false  {No powers won't be blocked}

Believe it or not, but i AM familiar with the logical concept of  true/false statements.
I have tried every combination, and can't get powers to be blocked by only one type of defense (armor).

Also, your revised Pawn_player textfile still includes MaterialOverride arguments in TorsoAppearnces, which still doesn't load, like minormiricale explained.

If you would check that indeed you are able to cause ONLY armor (yellow bar) to block powers, and/or to make Materialoverride arguments to work with out-of-ship armors, i would be very grateful, since this is something that could help me and others here.

That's what I've been looking for! Those lines seem to command how often squad member fire and how often they reload - on Insanity, they spend like 90% of the time in cover and reloading...

I adjusted them slightly, will test in a few moments.

Dear emperor,

To get this on a male Shepard (Confirmed for female as well) it takes a different tact (excerpt from page 10):

Deebe wrote..
Open save in Save Editor.
Change to Raw tab.
Expand Squad > Player > Appearance > Morph Head > Texture Parameters.
Open the Texture Parameters list.
Add two new entries as follows:
code:

code:

Value: BIOG_HMM_HED_PROMorph.IllusiveMan.HMM_HED_PROIllusiveman_Eye_Spec

Here is the change:
There are two "eye" lines in Vector Parameters:

EYE_White_Colour_Vector

To get T.I.M. Eyes of any color:

CHANGE>>>>>>>>EYE_White_Colour_Vector to Emis_Color
Then Imput your RGB code:

Tried that, but it worked just as default settings work - all types of protection (shields, barriers, armor) block powers.

Can you post a video how your tweaks work in-game?

Edit: Shoulda read Burdokvas post first. Tell me what you find out.

 

It's a bit hard to tell precisely, as it's very variable, but it seem those setting control how often squad members attack and/or how accurate. I still have to tweak it, but you notice those annoying pauses they make just before killing an enemy while he's flanking you (on high difficulties)?

Well, increase MaxAttackTickets= to a higher value and they seem to fire more bursts (default Insanity is 2; I set it to 3). MaxTargetTickets either has something to do with their accuracy, or (more likely) how many times they'll try to attack an enemy in a given time period. So, AttackTickets= how many bursts; TargetTickets= how many attempts to target enemy from cover. Works best when (regardless of value) TargetTickets=  AttackTickets+1 .
 
After some testing, I think this two options are the primary reason squad members are nearly useless (sans powers) on higher difficulties - they're veru low compared to AI values. It's not so much their damage and health reduced (on average by a factor of 0.35f) but the simple fact that they don't fire at the enemy! Just count how many times a random merc will fire from cover in 30sec. slots and how long his bursts are compared to any squad member on default settings.

As I said, I need more testing to confirm it, but so far Garrus is making twice the damage with the Geth Pulse Rifle by just firing more often and longer at enemies. Longer bursts work great when you need covering fire, too.  At the same time, they're exposed when firing so it's not overpowered, like say, tweaking weapon damage stats.
