Hi Ellise, i really like these so i hope you are still around and active :S
Anderson and Liara are giving troubles... Anderson looks like a sunburned white guy/indian/communist, he's quite red... and Liara is unchanged, no diff file?
edit* Ok so i think Liara is fixed now... im guessing she changes appearance after doing lotsb, i renamed the ASA_HED_PROLiaraSB_Diff_Stack_0x73041BF7.dds to ASA_HED_PROLiara_Diff_Stack_0x40197218.dds and installed it again. Now she seems to have the new face :P looks awesome
Please, can you tell us how you edited that file? All I see are .tpf files in the download, not .dds?? I was most looking forward to the liara texture and it won't work no matter what I do :( Lots of people seem to be having this problem but the creator is no where to be found.
I think I figured out how to do it using Rheia2's method. Head's up that 1) I restarted my game and haven't met Liara yet so I'm not absolutely positive this will work and 2) I'm using ALOT's installer to install textures. I used ME3Explorer found here on Nexus https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect3/mods/409/ When you start the program it will ask you to confirm where your game is installed. I then clicked on the box that says TPF tools which opened another screen. Make sure in the upper right hand corner it says "Modding ME2." If it doesn't try clicking on it and it should eventually cycle around to ME2. I dragged and dropped the Liara complexion tweak file over the TPF tools screen. It takes a second to load and then you'll see three images, one of which looks like Liara's face. There will also be a texmod.log.
In the upper left hand corner there's a drop down that says "Extract" click on that and choose "extract all" You'll have to choose somewhere for the program to extract the files to. It takes a few seconds. Then in the upper left hand corner click "Clear All Files" Go to the folder you extracted the files to and follow Rheia2's instructions on renaming the file. Once that's done, drag and drop the file you've renamed over the TPF tools window. You should again see an image that looks like Liara's face. Double check you've renamed the file correctly. Click "Check All" and then click on "Build TPF" and then "Only Checked." The program will ask you where to save the TPF file and to name it. This TPF file can now be installed using ALOT's installer like usual. You will also need to install Ellise's original for Liara's face to show up consistently. It shouldn't matter which is installed first. Apologies if this doesn't work for people.
Is that the seam fix or the method for getting Liara's textures to work? To clarify I'm only looking to use the Liara textures. The ME1 version works fine through the ALOT installer.
right.. this was long ago lol... Like Eleos2095 explained: it is what i did to fix just Liara for ME2. Sorry for not clarifying i extracted the tpf to get to the .dds files :P
Also realized i was using me2re in my 2018 playthrough, which i think makes it so vanilla liara textures are used during lotsb...
I just want to say, thank you and the entire team who built this. I recently installed these packs and man, what a difference. Installed all the files for ME2 without a problem and the game runs excellent with em. It's making me enjoy the game in a whole new way again, as if I were playing it for the first time. Y'all should get hired by BioWare when they make the next Mass Effect, haha.
I don't know if anyone still monitors this mod but for the life of me I can't get the Sheploo texture to look like the one in the pictures here. There is a noticeable increase in texture quality in his face but it looks off. it looks no where near what it's supposed to look like according to the screenshots uploaded to this mod page. If there is anyone who can help me thank you in advance.
edit: well i moved to an area that had better lighting and it seems to look more like its supposed to so I guess its working hehe
I officially worship your mods. Using them for Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, Mass Effect 2 and basically every game I own that you have textures for. They're beautiful.
