Hey all. Looks like the thread is taking a turn for questions on modding ME3, but I figured I'd ask here anyway.
So I read through quite a few pages in the old thread, but never got through it fully since 100+ pages is impressive, but also time consuming. I'm sorry if the question has been asked before, but I'm just wondering if it's possible to make the casual wear (Evening Wear, I think the name is) you get from Kasumi's loyalty mission into armor. I do have my ini set to use most of the casual wear in the game as well as other things you see NPCs wearing as armor, so I know about that. If it helps, my current character is a femshep.
Can someone confirm if this is possible? Great job on all of the hard work you guys are doing. It's all greek to me. :3
Will be making a Modding thread for ME3 on a fan site come April. To keep thread lock fest from occuring here on the BSN site.
Would that be the Tux on male Shepard?
Awesome, glad there'll be an ME3 thread soon. Anyway, yeah, it was the tux male Shepard wore for Kasumi's mission, but I need the female version, which was a dress. Really all of the mods I have for ME2 at this point were from pre-made ini files and such, and I have used a model viewer to look at the files myself, but there are a lot, as everyone no doubt knows.
Here is the code if wanted for casual and armor:
CasualAppearances=(Id=35,Type=CustomizableType_Torso,Mesh=(Female="BIOG_HMF_ARM_CTH_R.CTHh.HMF_ARM_CTHh_MDL",FemaleMaterialOverride="BIOG_HMF_ARM_CTH_R.CTHh.HMF_ARM_CTHh_MAT_7a"),PlotFlag=-1)
TorsoAppearances=(Id=35,Type=CustomizableType_Torso,Mesh=(Female="BIOG_HMF_ARM_CTH_R.CTHh.HMF_ARM_CTHh_MDL",FemaleMaterialOverride="BIOG_HMF_ARM_CTH_R.CTHh.HMF_ARM_CTHh_MAT_7a"),PlotFlag=-1)

Anyone figure out how to give us Ashley's armor yet, or failing that, play as her (physically)?

You do mean for ME2 right?

Correct.HJF4, so without figuring out the command that replaced OnlyLoadLevel, it will never work.

About ME3 modding. Can you give me some clue in what file I need to search that commands? If you can on ME2 example pls. (Where is the command 'OnlyLoadLevel' in ME2 was found?).
Now I have some model names for companions armor, but can't use it because game just crashes when I trying to add that model to some armor in locker.
But I already manager how to change hair style with save editor.

No need for sarcasm and vitriol. There's been some minor ME3 discussion in here, so I figured the question was worth it. If you want to point me to a thread, either here or on another network, that is actively discussing ME3 modding, by all means, please do so.

However, per google search,"MASS EFFECT 2 OnlyLoadLevel" Ioniga says: OnlyLoadLevel is a UE3:CheatManager exec function (UT3)… we need something similar cuz they changed a little the engine.
Translation: We need someone who can do something similar to this, or it's not possible.

However the game is making this hard for me, I've tried a few variations in the coalesced file but it's not working. Is this possible at all?

I like to know too, hope most of casual/armor mods will be added to ME3 someday soon

Not sure how you picked that up in his 6 words, but to reassure you phoenix is a great asset to this thread and a wonderful help to anyone who asks, and certainly not deserving of those accusations.
There'll be ME3 modding info soon, but its a hard game to crack so we'll have to wait a little longer for the modders to work their magic.

:(I am sorry to offend. What I said was not meant to be sarcastic nor an accusation of any kind. You did not specify it as a Mass Effect 3 question- I wanted to be sure I was on the right track before stating that it was possible when it currently may not be (ME2 vs ME3 currently).
@ Aisynia
I agree with you 100%. I am always willing to assist where feasible and possible. I will definately delve into the more tenious modding processes when I get ME3 in April.

Okay this is really irritating me. What I'd like to do (in ME2) is have the Revenant, Widow, and Claymore unlocked not on the Collector vessel, but at the same time as the Flamethrower on Zaeeds loyalty quest (Revenant); when Legion unlocks the Widow; and when Grunt unlocks the Claymore. The idea is that because they've unlocked the cool weapons, then Shep can use them too.
However the game is making this hard for me, I've tried a few variations in the coalesced file but it's not working. Is this possible at all?
Delete out the following striked through:
[SFXGame.SFXPlayerSquadLoadoutData]
AssaultRifles=(className="SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_MachineGun"
Shotguns=(className="SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_FlakGun"
SniperRifles=(className="SFXGameContent_Inventory.SFXWeapon_MassCannon"

If I remember correctly the CheatManager was in the ENGINE.PCC for ME2. Maybe it is in the same location in ME3 (if ME3 has a Engine.pcc:whistle:).hellgate49698 wrote...

Yep, but it seems they renamed it to BioCheatManager, I found that name in psckage config. Then I tested 'PackagesToAlwaysCook' but it seems that game is ignoring it.
I'll search for tools to open *.pcc files tonight and post my results. Thank for clues.
Btw I have another idea. If someone have demo version, Rick has solution to enabling console, you can try simply bruteforce find that command in console. I already know 'open' command that just loads selected level, works from bindings and from console.

I looked at the cheatmanger for ME3.
StreamLevelIn, OnlyLoadLevel, and StreamLevelOut were removed for sure.

afaik you can't do points directed at a specific crew member unless you use gibbed. Either command should give points to the entire party.
I don't remember if it gives points to everyone or just shep and his current landing party. But you can test and find out fairly easily.

Just would like to change Shepard to a squadmate in ME2 like seen in many videos. Is that achieved by editing the Coalesced.ini in someway, or using texmod?
-----
Never mind, just needed to dig deeper through the internet and found:
SquadmembersArmors.me2mod - squadmarmors.txt
Just enabled with ModManager and woohoo it works!
But I still wish all games were as easy to mod as Fallout/Skyrim.

Does the teleport command work in ME2?

Any binding not in the game at the start will need to be added to BOTH: GameModeBase and GameModeDefault .
If it still does not work after such- then I would imagine that there is either a coding error or the command does not function in game.

How come there's no step-by-step tutorial for this? All the guides I've read looks like you need to have some knowledge of the subject already. Altho for ME1 I found a simple guide.

I understand that the modding of Fallout 3 and New Vegas is quite simple, yet I understand Bioware's take on modding the Mass Effect Series. Bioware uses the Unreal Engine -an Epic Games Trademark and since they would probably have to get permission from Epic to allow such modding and that would probably cost mucho deniro for them and so can't really allow modding freely and openly but according to Chris Priestly we are allowed to do so for ME2 at our own risk.
On another facet: I Personally do not use the Mod Manager due to its being in a beta state and that more than once I recieved corruption from the programs (maybe it is because I use a lot of mods- my INI is 1 MB- twice the default size!). Not to mention that it is not very user friendly when dealing with Texture modifications.
You make a valid point about there being no central hub of ME2 Modding information. The reason that there has been no updates to this thread is because the person who started ME2-MIP3 has since deleted his account and thus additions are no longer possible.
I did make one on a fan site, if that would be of intrest to you.
Here is the link to the thread to which I refer:
http://www.n7academy...-possible-4-pc/
I do not know if it houses everything but I hope that I covered the gist of everything. If I missed something please feel free to let me know.

can u mod the single player without affecting the multiplayer? i haven't even looked yet, but isn't it all under the same .ini file?
What I'm asking is if we would get banned from origin/etc, if all we did was use a modded coalesced file for singleplayer - and when playing multiplayer, switched to the default unmodded coalesced file instead.
Hi HJF4,
We are only taking action against players who modify their multiplayer game to gain unfair progression, unfair advantage, or affect the experience of other players.
Examples are (but not limited to):
- Increase leaderboard rating.
- Increase amount of credits received on a match.
- Increase/modify weapon/power stats.
I personally won't be diving into the mods for about a week as I'm in the middle of my first run through of the game at stock and don't really look at modding until i've at least completed the game as intended.
