I've been poking around to see if its possible to get certain meshes to load all throughout the game with no avail. Has anyone found a way to force load a mesh regardless of area?

Also, bUseBackgroundLevelStreaming=False causes a cutscene in the final mission to not load. A note to those of you who are using this command, if you're doing the suicide mission, make sure you revert this value back to =True

I really hope someone finds/makes a fix for that its a bummer without no sound.

I'm thinking it might be possible that we'll see a fix when BioWare addresses the existing no sound issue present in the game by default. Though who knows...Unreal Engine 3 is very anal and extremely unforgiving when it comes to changing system values.

I've been doing so too, I would imagine it is editable, but you have to do some extensive reworking at a lot of different places.   



Random Something wierd I found, the following toggle.

m_bCheckTFCGuid=true       

Set this to false to allow DLC cooked for the wrong build to mount.

Hi All: This is so weird, I added a code this morning so I can use a new casual outfit (didn't work tho). So I pick the outfit (pick scientist outfit because there was 2 of them). So I went to Miranda officer, saved and loaded back in. This is the weird part, I had the Blood Dragon armor on (use that armor for combat), part of the helmet is gone, showing off my hair but the mask is still there. I wish I can take a screenshot of it to show you. I wonder can we use the dlc armors for casual wear too?

[Arik7]

Can I use Kaidan's mesh to replace one of the squad mates. If so, please let me know how....

How do you find the ID of armor or a head ?if you found the package

[David Hingtgen]

It's usually fairly obvious from the file names-- "HMF" is a HuManFemale code, "HMM" is human male, QAR is a quarian, etc. ASA for asari--though many of their parts are often "HMF". From there there'll usually either be an abbreviated name or description. Shiala may be "shi" or "feroschick" or "formerclone" or something like that.

Hm well seeI found that (All the asari are asa)  I am talking about   this

+FullBodyAppearances=(Id=2000,Type=CustomizableType_Torso,Mesh=

See there an ID=2000  I am curious to where this comes from .  The number been searching through the MAT Browser doesn't give me any numbers or the Unreal Model viewer

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I went to the gym.

I'm not sure what your asking, but here is something I worked up real quick once I got back.
Left is the HDR of miranda as she is sitting at her desk, right is hdr effect of her leaning forward. The lighting is very high in this area, but it shows the uniform hdr during movement.


I'll see what I can do about making it into a turtleneck when I work on it more tommarrow.
look at the picture and describe how you want it altered

This took me about 10 minutes

little request to the texmod modders here. I'd like a miranda loyalty outfit retexture to look like this: http://fc03.devianta...y_Lepoitt72.jpg preferably without the cerberus logo. replacing the loyalty one is fine. I still like to have to work to get the squads bonus outfits. thanks in advance!

Also, could i run this, and the red hair mod for her together?

[David Hingtgen]

For the actual ID number, you should be able to assign it any number you want, so long as it's not being used by another one, if you don't know the actual ID. Try like 9999 or something. The ID number is more of an internal assignment thing for some other table (probably the all-important one that tracks/assigns NPC appearances that we can't yet alter)

wow you modders are awesome, i am going to come up with some good ideas for requests. off the top of my head I want to ask if you can make tech armor glow blue like Warden Kuril's?

I'm not familiar with tex modding, but the game simply handles the glow by using an "emissive" texture, so if they find and edit that to another color it should easily work.

I just looked through 15-30 and I only seen a picture with a shepard with a green version of illusive man eyes. Anyone know how to do do this?

Gibbed figured it out, i might ask him for the required steps.

Then again he also has a working tool to look up the indexes of the pcc files but won't share neither tool nor sourcecode

You changed 'Bloom_Scale' in Coalesced.ini. That changes bloom 'strength' and works quite nice, but you can also try 'DOF_BlurKernelSize'(same line in ini) which alters the size of bloom 'halo'. Here are some pics:

1 pic default(bloom_scale =0.2 DOF_BlurKernelSize=10); 2 pic bloom your setting(bloom=-1 kernel=10); 3 pic my setting (bloom=0.2 kernel=1)

Thanks for this post! I haven't dived into the tech specific ini stuff yet, this sounds very interesting.

Yes, if for the long load times alone i wouldnt advise anyone not testing mesh loading to play with it set to false. Loading certain meshes would either require to alter the packages (their structure is horribly convoluted and completely undocumented) which probably won't be possible for quite a while, or alter the games dynamic loading system to include user selected packages (since their contents are known). The latter seems a lot easier, but aside from the Streaming=False setting no other does seem to have any effect.

That id is just a number for the savegame to remember which one you have currently selected. Heres how it works:
The game just scans all the items and orders them by increasing ids. So you can put any number there, and mods usually take a high one to avoid 2 edits taking the same id. Then it just assigns the items on the slider from lowest to highest. For convinience since i test a lot of autogenerated entries my internal test build of the manager automatically assigns a free id when applying the mods.

Hi guys could you guys help me with this ASAP thanks!!! I'm only free to play during the weekends.. Thanks again!!

Haha you're welcome. To answer your question, yes the only way to use these mods is by running them through texmod. If you deactivate your antivirus it will run much smoother.

For your requests:

"MoneyDeluxe" Is making an Awesome reskin of Garrus and it should be up shortly, if not already. However no one can "repair" the damage to his suit as that is an in game item that we cannot modify. The most possible would be if an ini modder finds the code for his original suit we see when we meet him and swaps it with his standard suit.

As for Jack: I am already working on an alternate version of her that was requested, similar to your request, however it is taking a bit more time because it is a bit harder to do.

Jacob: Unfortunately we cant really give jacob a "Metal" uniform, the most we could do is recolor it to look metal, I will try but Im not sure if it will look good. Look for updates here and on the "Texture Mods and How to Use Them" Thread.


Edit: To whoever asked if you could use Mirandas Red hair with her body reskin: YES you can load multiple mods as long as they replace seperate in game items texture. So you could have Mirandas Red hair mod, her body skin mod and the black cerberus armor no problem. There is no limit, as long as the mods do not replace the same thing you can have as many as you want.

i think you can only upload files after you created a project.

very cool look for miranda, the patching on the elbows is a little weird though. is that necessary to keep the gloves?

No the patching isn't strictly necessary, although I'd have to go in and alter the normal map which I usually try to avoid. You can't really tell in that picture but her arms aren't bare,  I made  the specularity map pure white there so it shines and looks like transparent plastic/latex, similar to the panels elsewhere on her suit.

That's just one image out of many versions though, I've been messing around with it on and off for a few days, so I can do one with regular sleeves or regular boot colors or fingerless gloves or whatever. I only really started this to make myself familiar with Texmod so it started out really simple and I just kept tweaking it.

But yeah, I just need help with uploading it, for some reason I can't seem to figure out how to do it on this site.


Oh and if anyone could help me figure out how to increase the specularity of Miranda's hair, using a pure white spec map doesnt seem to do much of anything unless I brighten the texture itself which usually ends up looking like crap. In the default game it's just complete featureless black with no visible shine or detail at all and it does not look good.


Edit: Thanks Valtonis, I've got it figured it out now. You have to create the project, then instead of going to "Edit Project" which would actually make sense, you have to go view the project as if you were another user, then go to view the file that isn't there, and THEN you'll find the option to upload. That is not a very intuitive system.

Demon I like this because unlike the loyalty costume it doesnt seem to be a straight xmen costume and more relastic just because of the texture. It would be cool to add some color varation maybe make the shoulder pads yellow or gold? maybe add some white to the gloves and side of the arms.

Ah thanks well , Good enough looking for the ME1 first not a fan of the green Shiala lol. Is the  Orignal Shiala still in the Mass effect 2 code ? Or do I gotta go into my mass effect 1 folder and and move files.

Sorry, I meant I only know the file locations of Shiala's model in ME 1 itself---I don't know where ME 2 keeps her files (obviously in the Illium group somewhere).  And I'd be very surprised if you could use ME 1 files in ME 2. 

But, there's a big caveat if you want a purple Shiala: the way ME 1 handled skin colors.  For ME 1, all asari (except Liara and Benezia) used the exact same face texture.  The game actually "tinted" the polygons themselves, with the semi-transparent face texture over it.  I would imagine ME 2 is the same way, rather than having dozens of differently-colored face textures. (it's also how the Shepard-face-maker works--a single transparent texture over colored polygons, rather than making textures for every single combination of face colors)  Thus, Shiala's model is likely hard-coded to be inherently green in ME 2.   But, there could be a way around it:

If you made the face texture opaque, and made it purple, then it would cover up the green polygons it's applied to.  However, this would make EVERY asari purple, except for Samara probably.  (for a while I had every asari in ME 1 looking like Liara, except Liara herself)  Unless Shiala has a unique face texture--which is unlikely IMHO, as she didn't in ME 1, and she has an even smaller role in ME 2.  (even the Consort didn't get her own face texture) 

Your Correct I just got the  base Asari Face(There 3  in total samra daughter , Samara, Base Asari , and avaina )  it Essentially One Single Face with many many different kind of texture attached to different .. Um Girls essentially . Though I am not sure how to attach the texture to the face . I've got a brown asari at the moment lol.  Is there some texture overide I have to do ? Not sure how to get the Program to load a specific texture or overlay for a face

I"ll release a mod with all the various colors and Samara and Morinth  if you can let me know .
