14/07/2021 * I don't give permission to convert this mod for MELE at any circumstances or change it, altering the mesh or using any of my assets and upload it as your own, I'm working on the conversion for MELE.*
-------------------------------------- - It seems old version mods stop working and I have to update my mods, the best option would be to update my mods as DLC mods but the problem is I have no idea how to do it and I can't find a guide for it . If anyone can help me with a guide it would be much appreciated and I could update my mods properly with "plug and play"!, PM me thanks.
- Sorry if I didn't reply to last comments, I'm very busy with work and I don't receive any notice via email or something for comments here. I know all comments are all about problems with the mod to work, it needs to be updated. I'll update the mod as DLC mod when I find out how to do it.
You can make a Custom DLC mod with Mod Manager 4.2.3's Starter Kit Generator (it'll do all the work for you to make the custom dlc, just enter some basic mod info) and then just place your modified files into it. It should override files of the same name from the original game. You can get Mod Manager from my site ME3Tweaks. Starter Kit Generator is in Tools > Mod Development > Generate a Custom DLC Starter Kit.
- A top tank for Male Shepard with the same textures as female top tank but not with a shorter version lol . - DLC Mod Update.
Why too long for this? Because my pc died and I couldn't save some .psd files and meshes edited and have to start over again but I haven't time for modding now, sorry for the inconvenience.
I reuploaded the files because they tended to change the name randomly, don't know why. I hope this fix that.
UPDATE: Added an alternative version of the original shirt more larger, now it covers part of the belly.
UPDATE 15-01: I'm busy now for accepting requests so I'm taking a break from modding. I'll be free around mid February so the requests already asked will be completed on that date and I'll make .mod files for all the textures too .
However, If you have any question or issue with the mod let me know .
UPDATE 4-02: I added some .mod files for automatic replace textures. I'll upload more files later.
If you download the .mod file for the texture you need to download the pcc file from the main files too. You didn't need to run the TOCbinUpdater after put the pcc file on your folder, the .mod file for the texture will do this for you .
UPDATE 26-02: I'm free now for some request and I'm doing all the backward request on my list .
UPDATED 28-2-14: All files reuploaded with fixed TPF due the normal maps weren't correct to install with the new Me3 Explorer TPF tool. Removed all .Mod texture files, if you want to replace the textures in your game use the new TPF Tool for permanent replace. New Readme uploaded. Added a new shirt texture by request, Alliance version, the logo is adjusted for each size.
UPDATED 5-5-14: Sorry for the late responses, my pc broke down.
UPDATED 22-6-14: Sadly, more problems and is still broken.
UPDATED 2-5-15: I'm back with a new pc finally! Can work again ^_^. Added normal map to arms, hands, chest and belly in all versions to improve skin in general.
I love the larger shirt so so much, making a tank top version was such a great idea, but I always had some sort of nagging doubt about it that I was afraid to mention. But you went ahead and did it, you made a bigger tank top, this makes me so so happy <3 Thanks so much. -PistachioInfernal
Hey hello ^_^! My first idea of this mod was to make a training outfit like in some fan arts with short shirt but with the alliance pants it doesn't look much a training outfit so it's nice to have varied versions because not all likes short version of a shirt. I've to do the "arts" from the new versions and upload it on DA but I'm so busy now with holidays ..
Thank you so much for this mod, I love the larger black metal version. I don't use ME3Explorer or Texmod, I only use ME3 Tweaks Mod Manager and ALOT installer. I did run into messed-up textures at first and it did take me a bit to figure out so I thought I'd leave a comment in case anyone else needs help.
I originally just installed with ALOT and that didn't work, it was displaying the fatigues still with the texture from this mod all over it (the pants pattern on the top and the N7 logo and black tank on the bottom). So I unzipped the .rar file from this mod and copied the BIOG_HMF_ARM_CTH_R.pcc file from the PCC File folder and placed it in the CookedPCConsole folder (Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole) and let it replace the original. Then in ME3 Tweaks Mod Manager, I ran AutoTOC (found under tools). Finally, I went back to my ALOT installer and reinstalled my textures (in Free Mode, not ALOT mode), and now it works!
TL;DR ALOT and ME3 Tweak Mod Manager users:
Step 1. Unzip .rar file. Step 2. Copy BIOG_HMF_ARM_CTH_R.pcc file and place it in the CookedPCConsole folder (Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole). Step 3. In ME3 Tweaks Mod Manager, run AutoTOC (found under tools). Step 4. Install texture in ALOT Installer.
P.s- Love the mod, it made the whole experience feel brand new. I've just started getting the hang of modding, and I am loving it. <3
EDIT: Figured it out.. I just switched the first full body armor with the file for this outfit and it worked. I used a Coalesce editor to do it. I was so proud of myself lol.
Way too much trouble for installing such a simple mod. 2 different programs that are pretty complex to use meaning at least an hour reading tutorials, a 3 hour dlc unpacking and an extra 16GB disc space. I miss the old times when you just copy pasted a file.
Can anyone tell me step-by-step how to install this mod ? Its old mod and the ME3Explorer is different now. And if i will be installing ALOT 2017 what will be order ?
It took me a while but I got this mod to work! It's actually very simple:
1. As always, start by making a backup of your original BIOG_HMF_ARM_CTH_R.pcc file 2. Then put Kistumi's downloaded BIOG_HMF_ARM_CTH_R.pcc in the game folder CookedPCConsole in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole) and replace the old one 3. In ME3Exploror search in the toolset for AutoTOC and in the window that opens click "Generate all TOCs" (this replaces the old Tocbinupdater system) 4. Load the texture tpf included in the download with texmod and voila! Good as new.
I personally had issues with Texmod and Origin and this website helped me solve that issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/1bmifr/texmod_for_the_me3pc_and_you/
