adding my post from the old thread, hopefully it will get answered in one of them:



ok can someone explain WTF is going in with my modding?



I have set up the Revvy so that if fire just like a Mattock, copied all the damage, fire-rate and AI stuff from the Mattock and it works fine for me.



Now ive just played through Purgotary (sp) with Grunt w/Mattock, now he fires the Mattock with no problems whatsoever, BUT, the ****ing bad guys, Commanders and Kuril, will not shoot their Revvy's right...they shoot once and then just stand there out of cover...



WHY THE **** IS THIS?



I mean, grunt does ok...the settings are the same, but the bad guys are ****ed...i noticed the same thing when i tried to do the same with the GPR...all the geth missions were neutered



Im getting really pissed off...i love the look of the Revvy and GPR but dont like the way they operate ingame but everytime i mod the fire rate from full auto to semi the AI throws a fit...even with the AI settings done the same as the Mattock

[Chugster]

arghh, im on the laptop now....but the only things i didnt copy from the mattock were these lines:

PrettyName=209729
IconRef=9
GeneralDescription=338213
ShortDescription=339279
bNotRegularWeaponGUI=TRUE
GUIImage=GUI_Codex_Images.Machinegun_512
SteamSoundThreshold=1
NoAmmoFireSoundDelay=0.5

everything else was copied from the 'DesertRifle' part of the BIOweapon file in the DLC folder

ill try to post exactly what i have later, but its just the same info that everyone has

The short answer: settings you change also affect the NPC's in the game. So if you set the Rev. to one shot per trigger pull, then all NPC's using the Rev. will do that too.

BurstRounds=1

These two are the evildoers.
The AI thinks in bursts, not in single shots, except that with most rifles, one burst equals one shot; which is why the AI fires 2-4 bursts when using an unmodded Needler, and only 2-4 shots when setting it on full auto.
But if there's a delay between bursts, like 999 seconds, that messes things up.
Set the burst refire time to 0.0 and that should fix it.

Edit: The Mattock ini entry at that position actually even refers to it: "Burst is set so the player has to re-engage the trigger to continue firing"
Theoretically it is possible to fire 2 salvos without re-engaging the trigger, though the delay of 999 seconds means you'd actually have to wait ~17 minutes for that to happen.

Adding Paragon/Renegade points via keybinding:

Crunchyinmilk wrote...

Incrementally adding points via the commands from ME1 doesn't seem to work reliably.

Setting the value specifically via 'set' does work but obviously not as an incremental addition. I find it easier to just max both renegade and paragon and make any decision I like, when I like rather than 'gimping' in a few extra here and there as the need arises.  The result is the same.

Here are my coalesced.ini edits:

Under [SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase]

;-- Morality
Bindings=( Name="Underscore",Command="SetRenegade 0 | SetParagon 0" )
Bindings=( Name="Equals",Command="SetParagon 1900 | SetRenegade 1957" )
Bindings=( Name="Equals",Command="SetParagon 1900 | SetRenegade 250",Alt=True )
Bindings=( Name="Underscore",Command="SetRenegade 1957 | SetParagon 250",Alt=True )

I use underscore because that's what ME2 reads my keyboard's minus (-) key as, likewise equals is what ME2 reads my plus (+) key as.

Explanation:
Minus resets both meters.  I use this to force myself to pick right wheel only options for a more interesting game  (more consequences).

Plus maxes both, allowing you to chose any dialog option.

Alt + Plus sets you to max paragon (and a little renegade).  

Alt + Minus sets you to max renegade (with a little paragon).  Handy for end game saves to be imported into ME3  if it turns out to be of worth.  Keep in mind your Paragon/Renegade mattered very little from ME1 

Its also worth noting that changing your paragon/renegade values in the middle of a conversation doesn't seem to work.  If you find a grayed paragon option, boosting your paragon score then and there will not make it turn blue.

Liara as Squadmate:

Crunchyinmilk wrote...

You need the Shadow Broker DLC for one.

Pick an existing team mate you don't want, and edit a couple of their henchman entries to semi-replace them with Liara. What you're really doing is removing them from the game and then using a stream bind to force Liara into the empty squad member spot.

Pick the edited team mate (who still shows up in the squad selection screen) and load the level as normal.
Once the level has fully loaded and you're running around... then you press your 'stream in Liara' bind.

The only way to edit what weapons Liara carries is to enter some of her data into [SFXGame.SFXPawn_Henchman].
I suggest replacing the same henchman, obviously. By entering her stuff in here you can access and change Liara's inventory in the weapon selection crate on the Normandy and in levels that also feature the weapon selection crate.



Step by step example:

Lets replace Jacob with Liara (sort of)

In this example, the line prefaced with ';' is Jacob's original entry, I've commented it out to turn it off. Find his line in your coalesced.ini and add the semi colon ( to turn it off.

Under that I've added the new Liara line. This will make it possible to select an 'empty' squad mate from the  selection screen. You'll still see Jacob there, but he'll be named Liara (kinky!).

[SFXGame.BioSFHandler_PartySelection]
;lstMemberInfo=(Tag=hench_leading,LoadoutTag=hench_Jacob,StrName=178200,ImageIndex=5,KismetIndex=1,AvailableLabel=IsSelectableLeading,InPartyLabel=InSquadLeading,IsLoyalLabel=IsLoyalLeading,OldLoyaltyLabel=WasLoyalLeading,AppearanceLabel=AppearanceLeading,DeadIndex=196,StrDossierText=178200,StrSpecialty=178200)
lstMemberInfo=(Tag=hench_liara,LoadoutTag=hench_Miranda,StrName=362749,ImageIndex=5,KismetIndex=1,AvailableLabel=IsSelectableLeading,InPartyLabel=Littlewing,IsLoyalLabel=IsLoyalLeading,OldLoyaltyLabel=WasLoyalLeading,AppearanceLabel=AppearanceLeading,DeadIndex=196,StrDossierText=178200,StrSpecialty=178200)

To be able to pick Liara's inventory from weapons crates (you can't equip her from squad selection) comment out  Jacob's entry and add Liara's in the same fashion as before.

[SFXGame.SFXPawn_Henchman]
;HenchmenInfo=(className=SFXPawn_Jacob,Tag=hench_leading,PrettyName=178200,HenchAcquiredPlotID=34,HenchInSquadPlotID=22,HenchmanImage="GUI_Codex_Images.Jacob_512")
HenchmenInfo=(className=SFXPawn_Liara,Tag=hench_liara,PrettyName=362749,HenchAcquiredPlotID=34,HenchInSquadPlotID=22,HenchmanImage="SB_Codex_Images.Liara_512")

Finally you need a bind to stream in Liara, once you've landed on a planet.  In this case I've used ALT+L to summon her.


[SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase]
Bindings=( Name="L", Command="StreamLevelIn BioH_Liara_00",Alt=True )

With that done, save and repair your coalesced.ini. Equip Liara from the Normandy weapon crate, and then pick  Jacob (named Liara) from the party selection screen. Load the level completely and find yourself with just the one companion. Press your 'summon Liara' bind and she should appear behind you. Don't forget to level her up the first time.

Tiled Screenshots:

Crunchyinmilk wrote...
Just as with Mass Effect 1, you need to add the bind yourself. Edit your mass effect 2 coalesced.ini file and under  [SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase] add the binds you want, then save the file and recompile it with me2inifixer.  Links to everything you need for editing is in the first post of the Modding is Possible II thread in general  discussion.

To take an ordinary screenshot, the command is "Shot". To take a giant screenshot the command is "Tiledshot X"  where X can be a multiplier of your current screen resolution or a specific grid size, see here for more about the  command.

Example: My screen resolution (during play) is 1280 by 720. Under [SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase] I add the bind:

Bindings=( Name="L", Command="TiledShot 3",Alt=True )

After saving and recompiling the coalesced.ini, start mass effect 2 again, and then hold down Alt+L The game will  proceed to make a giant screenshot (slowly) starting from top left to bottom right, piece by piece, 3 times the size  of my screen resolution (3840 x 2160).

Some problems with this though: Its slow, so either take static shots or make a bind to pause the action  ("playersonly" will pause the game). Also worth noting, the interface does NOT scale up for a tiled shot, it  appears  on every tile. So its worth having a bind to toggle the interface ("ShowHud") to hide it. The final stitched  together shot is placed in

Bindings=(Name="F7",Command="ToggleHUD")
Bindings=(Name="F11",Command="tiledshot 8x8 1024") see below

...

But the mystery is solved now, thanks to you. It appears you can't use the extended grid command any more, like  '8x8', the way I did. If you do that, the overlap gets ignored, regardless of your setting. This did it for me:

( Name="F11",Command="tiledshot 8 1024" )

Notice it just says '8' (not 8x8). And it actually doesn't give you an image that's 8x the original size, but 64x (8x8, like I wanted anyway). Do that, and the '1024' parameter gets taken into account, and the vignette is gone forever.

EDIT: And the beauty of it all is, you don't even have to turn off postprocessing any more.

ahh so the refire bit is solely for the player?

Makes sense, but if i set it to zero will i still have to pull the trigger each time to get a shot?

and how come Grunt uses the Mattock without this issue? or is there a difference between bad guys and squaddies, in terms of weapons usage? maybe non squad AI arent designed for semi auto rifles

Thanks for the info RGFrog. Is there any way to just get the points when starting a NG+ other than binding it to a key?



Also - how can I set Garrus' original undamaged armour as his alternate outfit, or a third alternate outfit?



Thanks :-)

NP, just copy/paste'ng the stuff I thought would be useful. There's plenty more, but i ran out of paste

Use gibbed's save editor to change paragrade points as well.

Maybe they aren't designed that way. I can't remember how AIs fight with the Needler, so it's just a theory.
Setting the refire time to 0 means you'll have full auto, so you don't pull the trigger each time, it just blazes away until you release the trigger. Sad side effect for those who want a semi-auto rifle, but nothing we can change atm without messing up the AI brains.
You could set it to something small, like 5 seconds, so that it doesn't mess with the AI too much and you still get the feeling of a semi-auto; it would still fire every 5 seconds by itself with held-down trigger, but I'll just assume you don't hold it down that long.

Hi All, just asking has anyone use quarian armor before for casual wear? I like to get a set for male/female Shepards who are in love with Tali. If another could help me get a couple for female/male I would real greatfully ? Just asking what is the code for Asari Spectre armor for coal file and can we add her head to Shepard's helmets (2nd Asari head)? Is there code for blue suns and Escips helmets for Shepard use? Please let me know and thanks

Updated:  How do you add Blue Sun and Eclipse armor for combat wear?

a question: is there a way to make the camera free-floating (able to move around the level?)

[GuardianAngel470]

Is there a way to give a class different abilities? For instance, Infiltrator with Singularity or Soldier with Pull.



Also, if you have the PC for it, what's the point of texture modding when you can use AA? Or is there a way to make the both work at the same time.



I've done some basic editing with my Coalesced.ini where I give certain characters different weapons and such but some of the stuff I've seen from you guys is just amazing.

Just finished testing on the prison ship.

BurstRefireTime=999.0f is the problem.

With BurstRounds=1 and AI_BurstFireCount=(X=4,Y=12) the engine is using BurstRefireTime to determine the time between each shot. And until at least 4 shots are taken, Kuril doesn't go into cover.

I set the tracers to show for every shot and set BurstRefireTime=10.0f so I could easily test this. Sure enough, Kuril didn't go into cover until he'd pulled off 4 shots and it took 10 seconds between each shot.

I gave Garrus the Rev also, and he acted pretty much the same as Kuril.

AIBurstRefireTimeMin=0.1 and AIBurstRefireTimeMax=0.2 are actual multipliers of the BurstRefireTime. I set them both to 1.0 and set BurstRefireTime=5.0f then watched Garrus again. In theory this would have Garrus taking a shot every 5 seconds, minimum of 4 shots before he took cover.

This time Garrus waited 5 seconds between each round and didn't go into cover until at least 4 rounds were shot as I predicted.

However, and this may be where you think everything's fine when you gave the rev to Grunt, Garrus would go into cover when he was actually shot by the enemy. This would reset the counters and Garrus would then pop back up and stay up until he got at least 4 shots off or was hit. The longest he stood out of cover was 45 seconds in my quick test. The shortest was 3 seconds as he was shot after his first round and went into cover.

I set BurstRefireTime=999.0f and watched Garrus again. This time he stayed out of cover after the first shot until hit. Longest period out of cover was 42 seconds as Miri was taking all the heat since she was doing most of the shooting.

I played with the numbers and this behaviour seems consistent.

So, it would seem the solution for you, Chugster, is to drastically lower BurstRefireTime.

Without changing AIBurstRefireTime (currently at min 0.1, max 0.2) anything at 2.0f or below should work. This would mean AI, all AI, should take a shot at the burst count (1 round in this case or a multiple of what you set with BurstRounds * AI_BurstFireCount) a minimum of 1/5th a second maximum of 2/5th's of a second barring any other influences.

I liked using BurstRefireTime=0.25 just like the Shuriken. It meant 4 rounds every second if I held down the button. With the above settings, my hench's would should 4 to 12 rounds in no time and return to cover. Pretty close to what they'd do with full auto anyway. But it allowed me to feather the fire button for full auto on the Rev. And, gave me enough time to release the fire button for single fire if that's what I wanted.
