Well done Survivor! Looks great. Also to you Dust, that's about what you can expect without doing deep hex editing ala Ashley.

Ashley: mucho thanks on that long bit on the spec. That is clearest and most helpful bit I've seen and it allowed me to much improve the spec on my EDI head mod. Soon going to use the info to improve Colossus, urban camo, and others. I ALMOST know what I'm doing now.

Haha. No problem! Glad I could help! It's just all what I discovered while making my own mods. Hopefully after I get these additional armor/clothing in place I'll release some of my own... maybe I can recruit Ottemis to do textures.

@droid which method did you do? the easy install or did you manually modify your coalesced?

Hi Ashley:   I did both, I added the armor codes in coalesced (changed coal file for me)

Any suggestion to fix? 

[ashley66444]

Infinite load usually suggests coalesced error. I would try running TOCbin to see if there are any updates or otherwise try replacing both Coalesced and the femshep .pcc file with the ones i provided. and try TOCbin again and see if that helps.

The only other thing I can think of is if you don't have the citadel DLC and I might have something lingering in my Coalesced.bin that is referencing the citadel dlc.

[droid105]

Sure I try and give you update. I have all the dlc for ME3 but my coal has been modded (ammo, other stuff added


Hi Ashley:  Updated:   It work part way, the armors are all black, any suggestions?.  (Sorry newbe at this, came back to play with all these cool mods)

Hi, just asking has anyone tried adding Miranda armor from ME2 and get right texture to work? I cant seem to get, always have a bad shine or color when using or black. Any help would be great, one of my favourite armors in ME2. Also those medium armors from ME1 and 2, is there anyway of adding them to ME3. I see them all over, Asari at bar, or 2 lady soldiers at dock area. Please let me know and thanks

[ashley66444]

The black textures are usually an indicator of me3explorer not being setup correctly. I'd check over Ottemis's tutorials on these before proceeding further. Did you backup your files?

Hi Ashley: Is there away to save the new armors and casual outfits you made beforereinstall me3explore or do you have to start again?

I could kiss you right now:



Now to apply what I've read so far to the helmet.

@Getorex

Don't forget I couldn't have gotten the mesh working without your tutorials. thanks for fixing Ashley's head.

Btw, I meant to say earlier that these screens are awesome! (the one i left above is especially awesome) Glad you got it working!

Also, i noticed in your diffuse that you had some lights in there (the bright red spots) don't be afraid to alter your specular (blue channel) to add those lights in as it really adds some depth to your model. Also, experiment with your specular a bit using your diffuse as a base and starting with the green channel. The biggest problem i see with people just starting to texture is: a lack of good normal maps and a serious lack of decent speculars. Keep in mind, there are very few things in this world that DON'T reflect light in some way so try adding some to your green channel's specular even if you darken it alot so it doesnt affect it as much.

Happy Modding!

If you replaced your .pcc file you shouldnt have to worry about me3explorer overriding anything (it wont). It will just read the new .pcc file. Also, if you already ahve me3exlporer installed and have the database built, you should only have to rebuild your database. (I have no idea if that answered your question, lol)

[droid105]

Thanks, new at this and dont want to start all over . Just asking do you have Miranda black armor in your .pcc files?

[ashley66444]

I have a custom miranda black casual outfit that I made that works for armor if you want. I put a nice n7 logo on it and made it extra shiny for that PVC look lol.

It's "somewhat" High Res, but I like it and is my goto outfit for casual wear. Here's what it looks like right now. Is that what your looking for?



To be honest all I really need to do to make it high res is to fix the lines on the knees and either remove or fix the lines on the little logos on her shoulders. Everything else I made high res. Also, ignore the color difference from her neck and chest *sigh*

On another note! Just wanted to let everyone know what I've been working on a bit before I started this whole crazy project of adding new armors. I really like Tela Vasir's armor from ME2, so here is my work in progress so far.



Still needs a good bit of texture work, but I think the model is pretty spot on.

Nice work on both and sure I like a copy for both !  Here a pic of Miranda black armor,

Ashley, the skin color issue between neck and chest can be fixed if you use the hmf_arm_nkdc texture as a basis for skin tone. A few characters have a set skin tone in their textures (Ashley, Miranda) while the others share the same texture basis and alter it on a character by character basis. Look at the nkdc texture to see. Clone or however that skin onto the miranda cleavage section and you femshep should render unifified color.

Wait...a solid black featureless texture is a sign of incorrect/bad me3explorer setup?  Son of a... I've been plagued by a few bug reports from a few people at nexus about this or that mod not working and only producing a black texture (utterly featureless). It has been making me crazy as I try and try to figure it out and produce textures for those mods that don't produce the problem but when it all works properly on my system its nearly impossible to fix when it's invisible to me.

[Getorex]

Ash, not sure if it's up your alley BUT with your background you would probably be a solid asset to me3explorer dev. Trying to get it setup to add new levels, or perhaps bring the modding tools of me3explorer to ME1 and/or 2...can only do textures there but wouldn't mind some mesh mod and level adding to both. Me1 could use extra missions...only one dlc before bioware was onto me2...

Just thinking/wishing out loud.

That would be trivially easy...and at this point Ashley's decision to make whether to do it or let me do it.  I don't even remember that armor from me2 but it looks outstanding.

Replacement HMM_ARM_SHP_R pcc, equivalent to femshep's works fine. 6 slots to fill.

Yippie! Thanks for testing. Will release to everyone else here shortly! Thanks again.

[Getorex]

Not a problem. Itching to start sliding new armors into the slots and quit replacing existing armors with new ones.

As promised here is the Male Armor .pcc file with 6 additional armor slots.

Remember, you do not need to update your Coalesced if you are already using the female armor .pcc file I released.

I actually consideredd using it for Ashley, but:
- The armour plate is missing aroud her neck / clavicle area. From a semi-realistic point of view, its a pretty glaring vulnerability.

- Heels. The mesh has Vasir wear some decidedly unpractical heels.

Now the textures for Vasir are pretty easy to grab (Diff, Norm and Spec available from get go). If I were talented at mesh editing, I could see some boot switching goin on, but am not.

I do plan on adding a Spectre insignia to her armour soon...
