Obviously not for Talimancers ;-)
Combined with Texmod or ME3Explorer, this mod should enable you to have the picture of your choice next to Shepard's bed, and for your Shep to stare and sigh at the sight of it...

Been testing with Kaidan :kissing: and Steve as per a friend's request, but maybe I'll include a pack with pictures for each character. I will add instructions for making custom textures anyway.

Tell me what you think!
Also, since the character and romance threads are all locked... I can't go and ask what pictures people would like.
Also, I'd be curious to know what picture you'd think your Shep would put in that frame ;-)

//////////
EDIT 28/01/2013
http://social.biowar...t/8685/#details

2 pics for Kaidan, Liara and Steve as per your requests.
Please ask permission for using Ash's, and I will gladly upload :)

Atm, it still says "Tali's pic", but it could probably be modded.

///////////////// 01/30/2013 EDIT
Added a personal selection from Graceyn's portraits
http://graceyn.deviantart.com/ or http://graceynmotion.tumblr.com/
4 Miranda, 1 Jacob, 2 Thane, 1 Liara, 1 Ashley

/////////////////////// 01/31/2013
Saltisgood and crew have been working on automated mod installer and also on a texture tool that will make Texmod unecessary, so I will just put any pic upload on hold for the moment and resume when I will have put the new version of the mod here. :)

////////////////// UPDATE
Alright, updated the mod files, PLEASE READ THE NEW INSTRUCTIONS.
Added 1 Garrus, 3 Kaidan and 1 Ash.

//////////// 02/02/2013
Brought the old install back as an alternate method.

Courtesy of Muzzow: instructions for changing the "Tali's picture" label >>

You need a TLK editor for converting the .tlk to XML and an XML editor:
ME3 Text Editor: http://social.biowar...ect/3492/#files
XML Editor: http://www.philo.de/xmledit/
Notepad++ will do as well: http://notepad-plus-...nload/v6.3.html

How to change any hovertext (or any other ingame texts):
You find the needed file here: Mass Effect 3/BIOGame/CookedPCConsole/
Pick the BIOGame_INT.tlk and make a backup of it first!

Then place a copy of the .tlk on your desktop for easier access. Open the tlk editor, select the file and the output folder (any you like, I always choose My Desktop) and convert it to XML. This might take a moment and the TLK editor might freeze. That's normal and nothing to worry about. The XML file is huge (about 15 MB!).

Then, open the XML file with your XML editor. Search for the string you want to change; "Tali's Picture". The document will jump to the corresponding line. Change the text to whatever you like. Hit save. This takes quite
some time and the Editor WILL freeze. Just wait a minute or two until you can move the Editor window around again. :)

Load the XML with the TLK editor and convert it back to a tlk-file. Make sure the file has the right name. I simply overwrite the existing .tlk on my desktop. That's the easiest way.

Replace the original BIOGame_INT.tlk with the new one. Hit yes for overwrite.

Done. ^^

/////////////
Added 2 Javik pics + 1 Jack in the tpf pack, 1 Jack in the DDS pack.

Hey, I don't know - some Talimancers don't like her face. You could make a picture of her with the hood and helmet. : P

...Nah. Cool idea though. Surprised other LIs didn't get this.

Well there's a blank frame on one of the desks, but no picture in it :P
You could have LI picture in ME2 before SM, why not here?

Also, I'm pretty sure Tali's pic has been modded already, it's very easy to include whatever fanart you'd like to see, I've seen amazing stuff :)

This is a great idea! It would also be nice to incorporate something for the ME2 LIs that got the shaft (pretty much all of them)

Shepard can go and see the other LI's on the ship whenever he/she wants to. It's not really necessary to have a pic of your LI in your cabin when you can go see them at a moments notice =p Tali is different though. Shep only gets to see her face rarely, so I guess it makes more sense.

Very nice mod though OP :) Especially for those who romanced ME2 characters such as Miranda/Jack/Thane. They'll love this.

Definitely looks good for LIs.  I'd say in particular for ME2 romances, since most of them were...not well treated...in  ME3.

For my own Shepard, I'm thinking a picture of Ash, like the one he had in ME2.  Heck maybe the same one.  He's sentimental :lol:

Hehe, nice! I'm glad you like this :)

Yeah, I thought about ME2 LIs - that they'd be particularly glad to have a little extra something.

Ah, wanted to ask Talimancers > does the whole sequence with the music and Shepard holding the frame happen every time? I just know that you find the pic in your cabin after a specific Tali event. The game file says something happens the first time?

I heard about Kelly Chambers' pic for Shep's cabin, that's the one I wanted to mod initially. This could probably be activated via Gibbed, but I was unable to find any pic or vid about it, does it have the same cutscene as Tali's?

@Iakus > absolutely, I thought the same for Kaidan, but the quality is so bad! The original Tali picture is 256 pixel high, whereas here it's 1024! I doubt the ME2 pics are better, but yeah, I'd love to have the same one! Maybe you can find one that looks a bit the same?

Oh yes, if you want to suggest pics, make sure it's in good res, 1024 high minimum should be fine.

The music happens every time. Not sure what happens uniquely the first time.

(And yeah, I use a modded one. I was just kidding before, about replacing her face with not-her face behind a helmet. She'd probably find that weird. : P)

Second that.

I like it ;)

Great job so far - make sure it's compatible with the Happy Ending Mod B)

I dunno if the ME 2 pic of Ash is the way to go. Honestly - I never thought it was a very good picture of her.

I really like eating bananas I want a picture of a banana in my cabin. It is a shame that Tali and Garrus can't eat them.

A picture of the frame, which has a picture of the frame, which has a picture of the frame. Frameception.

More seriously, other than the obvious 'my favourite character/LI, because they're my favourite', hmm. It's too difficult a suggestion to practically implement, but I always figured my Shepard would have something from Mindoir on her desk. A family photo from her childhood or the like.

Hehe, I like this idea!

Also, keep the suggestions going - I really enjoy seeing everybody's frame-worthy pics :)
Ah also, I could totally add several pics for the same character!

I tried a mod like this six months ago, I removed it shortly thereafter when I noticed it replaced every pictureframe in the game with my LI's picture. This included colonist domiciles, etc, and it was creepy to see intimate pictures of my LI in a stranger's quarters when I was doing a planet-side mission.

Hm.

Well, you could try to replace the texture a single time with SaltisGood's texture replacement tool so it doesn't show up all over the game. Not sure what the precise state of that is right now, it works but there's a bug with black shadows in MP. Amarok did some kind of fix but I'm not sure how that's all implemented, etc.

Shouldn't be too difficult to find decent pics for any LI :)
