ME3 Gameplay tweaks:

- General description
- Game system settings;
- Custom controls;
- Main game settings;
- Player properties;
- Galaxy exploration;
- Combat tweaks;
- Mix settings to edit;

^ Here described 'Mass Effect 3 Coalesced.bin tool' and 'TankMaster`s Coalesce Interface' edit metods as most efficient.
If you want to edit weapons through Wench Coalesced editor you must manually find values in editor (see weapon table) ^

++++++++++++++++++++ General description ++++++++++++++++++++

All ME3 main game gameplay properties are stored in Coalesced.bin / biodifficulty, bioengine, biogame, bioinput, bioui, bioweapon files;
All ME3 DLC gameplay properties are stored in Default_DLC_(DLC NAME).bin / biogame, bioui files (in each DLC folder);
Most DLC gameplay properties already included to base game Coalesced.bin - DLC only add/override several values there;

^ Edit tutorial:

Mass Effect 3 Coalesced.bin tool
------------------------------------
How to use: // Mass Effect 3 Coalesced.bin tool disassembles Coalesced.bin to .json files, which can be assembled back after adding changes //

To decompile:
- Drop a Coalesced.bin file into the "Gibbed.MassEffect3.Coalesced.EXE" to decompile the .bin file into .json files. It will decompile .bin to a folder with the same filename (same as DLC);
- Remove/move for backup Coalesced.bin;
- Edit file(s) with Notepad++;
To (re)compile:
- Drop the folder with the .json files (that were decompiled) back onto the "Gibbed.MassEffect3.Coalesce.EXE". It will make a new .bin file with the same filename (same as DLC);
- Place New Coalesced.bin to its folder;
------------------------------------

Mass Effect 3 Mod Manager
Use TankMaster`s Coalesce Interface
------------------------------------
How to use: // TankMaster`s Coalesce Interface disassembles Coalesced.bin to .xml files, which can be assembled back after adding changes //

To decompile:
- Drop a Coalesced.bin file into the opened Mod Managed window to decompile the .bin file into .xml files. It will decompile .bin to a folder with the same filename (same as DLC);
- Remove/move for backup Coalesced.bin;
- Edit file(s) with Notepad++;

To (re)compile:
- Drop the manifest .xml file with the same name of DLC (that was decompiled) back onto the opened Mod Managed window. It will make a new .bin file with the same filename (same as DLC);
- Place New Coalesced.bin to its folder;

------------------------------------
Note: Gibbed's DLC Coalesced.bin tool does not properly serialize Type 3 and Type 4 entries which will (may) make duplicate elements appear in multiple places in the game, such as maplists and store items.
------------------------------------
How to edit my DLC:

- Open my DLC folder
- Decompile DLC`s .bin
- Delete DLC`s .bin
- Open decompiled DLC folder > Open file that you want to edit in Notepad++
- Open default base game Coalesced`s / default DLC`s folder
- Decompile .bin(s)
- Open file that you want to edit in Notepad++
- Use Nodepad++ Compare plugin
- In default file select desired code line(s) > paste it to my DLC file / or edit value(s) there
- Save file(s)
- Compile my DLC
- Delete decompiled DLC bin folder
- ME3 Explorer / ME3 Mod Manager run AutoTOC utility
/reload ME3 MM/
------------------------------------

^ Coalesced.bin structure:

Difficulty modes:
biodifficulty
sfxgame.sfxdifficultyhandler
level1difficultydata - NARRATIVE/STORY;
level2difficultydata - CASUAL;
level3difficultydata - NORMAL;
level4difficultydata - HARDCORE;
level5difficultydata - INSANITY;

^ Edit description:
- Json file strings format:

"sfxgame.sfxinventorymanager": {
"maxmedigel": [ {"..."} ],
"maxgrenades": [ {"..."} ]
},

- Logic of value types: "0" - for force override; "2" - override and if not present add;
Set "Type": 0, or type="0" to override value;
Set "Type": 2, or type="2" to add value;

- Always check accuracy of writing when you edit file!
- Add code lines in alphabet order;
- Place comma between lines in section, last line don`t contain comma - remove it after last line when you copy/paste lines;
- Upcase and lowcase code lines are equal - Damage=damage;
- Float numbers can be edited: 1.f > 2.0f;
- In Notepad++ is present option to expand/collapse code sections - its useful for edit large files (+/- symbols on the field);

Numerical values:
Integer: Y=80; (min=0; max=unlimited, (recomended=999));
Boolean: true / false; (true=yes/on/use; false=no/off/don't use);
Float type1: 0.7; (min=0.0/0; max=unlimited, (recomended=99.0));
Float type2: 0.7f; (min=0.0f; max=unlimited, (recomended=99.0f)); (f=float);

Description structure:
biogame -- .json/xml filename;
SFXGame.BioConversation -- section in file;
m_fShowLastLineOffset=0.0 -- value;


++++++++++++++++++++ Game system settings ++++++++++++++++++++

======== How to disable logo movies =========
- Open "bioengine > fullscreenmovie > startupmovies" find "ME3_sig_logo" and "StartupLoop";
- Comment lines - use [< ; >] - ;ME3_sig_logo and ;StartupLoop

======== Alter how long the credits take to scroll =========
biocredits
totalrunningtime=180
That makes it 3 minutes instead of the default of ~4:15;

======== Fix for mouse acceleration =========
bioinput
bEnableMouseSmoothing=false
MouseSensitivity=0.15
bUseMouseDampening=false
- Now controlling mouse became much easier;
// Set your desired mouse sensitivity in main menu //;


++++++++++++++++++++ Custom controls ++++++++++++++++++++

// ALL BUTTONS CAN BE REMAPPED: - Set your custom button in Name="..."//;
// Add optional dual keys: Alt, Control, Shift: Bindings=( Name="K", Command="show scaleform",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=True) //;
// If you set binding to default control key (for example: [Shift]) - dont forget to change controls (remove command) in the MAIN MENU (For example, when Shift is your Sprint key) //;
// All keys settings are stored in bioinput file //;

If you want to EDIT Coalesced files you can ADD options below to your file:

( Name=\"F4\", Command=\"set SFXGame.SFXCameraMode FOV 75\" )
- This options are set camera view distance:
100 - camera moves to more far distance from player`s back - it is handy when you want bigger view angle for contolling combat;
17 - ME3 now became 1-st person shooter! You can shoot from 1-st person view (camera not centered, but hey, at least now you won`t see Shepard`s back every time in combat);
75 - default value - press button to return to default camera view;
// camera settings are temporary - works in one location - to next level loading //;

+++
Note: There is a way to completely remove selectors (temporary of cource):
C:\Users\\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\Config
GamerSettings.ini
LensFlares=False
Add this line under [SystemSettings] category;
// ! Main disadvantage of this parameter: you will loose possibility to interact with enviroment/world - all interaction points are dissapeares //
Lens Flare - is an effect seen when staring at a bright light source, such as a Sun, or gun muzzle flashes. There are halo effects or changes in light intensity when this happens.
Bioware strangely use this post process effect to draw selectors on your screen;
But this option usefull when you make screenshots;
Back to normal settings: just set LensFlares=True //
+++

======== Fly camera =========
sfxgame.sfxgamemodebase
( Name=\"F10\", Command=\"ToggleFlyCam\" )
- Allows camera to fly across the map; (Press button to switch on/off);

Toggling the flycam during conversation mode will not allow you to move or look around unless you add the following commands:
( Name="MouseX", Command="PC_LookX" )
( Name="MouseY", Command="PC_LookY" )
( Name="A", Command="PC_StrafeLeft" )
( Name="W", Command="PC_MoveForward" )
( Name="D", Command="PC_StrafeRight" )
( Name="S", Command="PC_MoveBackward" )
// controls for fly camera mode also stored in "sfgame.sfxgamemodeflycam" section //;

======== Take screenshots ========

Take screenshot with custom size of the screen resolution:
TiledShot 3x3 - with a grid of 3x3 (input 1440x900, result 4320x2700);
TiledShot 2 - twice the size of dimensions;
TiledShot 2 200 - twice the dimension, overlaps 200 pixels from a grid cell;
// can't be smaller than 2 //;

======== LEVITATION ========
sfxgame.sfxgamemodedefault
( Name=\"Z\", Command=\"Fly | OnRelease walk\" )
- Shepard now can levitate [when holding button] - by using 30-45 degrees ground flat surface as launchpad; (prevents falling);
"Walk" restores normal walking ability;
// Note: this is Unreal engine 3 default console option that allows limited player-fly ability with locked camera - use with caution! - don`t fly over the map //;

======== GHOST mode ========
sfxgame.sfxgamemodedefault
( Name=\"X\", Command=\"Ghost | OnRelease walk\" )
- Shepard now can float in any direction, even through walls [when holding button] - you can walk through all surfaces - all obstructions will be removed; (disables collision clipping, prevents falling);
"Walk" restores normal walking ability;

======== Fast game speed for travel and cutscenes ========
sfxgame.sfxgamemodebase
( Name=\"MiddleMouseButton\", Command=\"SloMo 5 | OnRelease SloMo 1\" )
- This hotkey increases game speed x5 time while holding the "MiddleMouseButton";
It's helpful when traveling big distances, such as hub zones or planetary surface. It also works in cutscenes, allowing you to fast-forward normally unskippable cutscenes. Speed multiplier may be arbitrary. Using this on a keyboard key sometimes causes glitches, but binding on a mouse key doesn't;

======== Combat/exploration mode ========
sfxgame.sfxgamemodedefault
( Name=\"PageUp\", Command=\"set SFXPawn_Player bCombatPawn true | QuickSave | QuickLoad\" )
( Name=\"PageDown\", Command=\"set SFXPawn_Player bCombatPawn false | QuickSave | QuickLoad\" )
- This commands load combat and exploration modes - you can holster weapon down and run through combat area as in non-combat areas;
// Lines with fast saving and loading are necessary, because at the moment of the game in memory there is no animation for transition between the modes: Explorer and Battle, which will lead to the drop of the client //;
// ! If you make a save in the middle of shooting enemies, then when you load that save - enemies from current spawn won't be there; Slaughter all enemies and only then switch to exploration mode //;

======== Armor/casual appearance mode ========
sfxgame.sfxgamemodedefault
( Name=\"Underscore\", Command=\"set SFXPawn_Player busecasualAppearance true | QuickSave | QuickLoad\" ) /<-> or <_>/;
( Name=\"Equals\", Command=\"set SFXPawn_Player busecasualAppearance false | QuickSave | QuickLoad\" ) /<=> or <+>/;
- This commands load player`s armor(combat) and casual appearance(exploration) modes - you can wear casual clothes in combat areas and vice versa;
// Lines with fast saving and loading are necessary, because at the moment of the game in memory there is no animation for transition between the modes: Explorer and Battle, which will lead to the drop of the client //;
// ! If you make a save in the middle of shooting enemies, then when you load that save - enemies from current spawn won't be there; Slaughter all enemies and only then switch to casual appearance mode //;

======== Weapon selection menu ========

======== Squad selection menu ========
sfxgame.sfxgamemodedefault
( Name=\"Add\", Command=\"ce hench_picksquad\" ) /Num+/
- Select available henchmen where you are standing from menu (in the middle of mission);
( Name=\"Subtract\", Command=\"ce hench_empty\" ) /Num-/
- Play solo (removes squad);
// Don't use this in tutorial Anderson, DLC Omega, or any other mission, where your squadmate is leading the way to objective //;

======== Global gravity alteration ========
sfxgame.sfxgamemodebase
( Name=\"O\", Command=\"setgravity -381.0\" )
( Name=\"P\", Command=\"setgravity -981.0\" )
- Set Gravity value to 1/3 from Earth type; /O - On; P - Off/;
// changes gravitational pull direction. Positive values above zero gives: anything that loose touch with ground is pulled up.
Negative values from -0.001 to -999.999 gives weakened gravity (fall very slowly). -981.0 is default value. Negative values below -1000 pulls down strongly (increases gravity) //;

======== Teleport to the Normandy ========
sfxgame.sfxgamemodebase
( Name=\"Home\", Command=\"at biop_nor\" )
- Load Norandy level;
// Note: when you are on Normady shuttle bay, crew deck or another mission , it may trigger landing off the map, in space, or trigger a mission start without squad, and without a cutscene at the beginning //;

- To unlock each intel bonus, remove the part ",PlotUnlockConditionalID=XXXX" from each intel drop you wish to unlock.
- Also, setting the value XXXX to 0 (zero) should do the trick too.
// Note: This is tested and mostly working. The intel drops are unlocked and you can pick a bonus from each one but they don't disappear after as they're intended to and it allows both bonuses to be obtained //;

Alter values:
[biogame > sfxgame > sfxpawn > player > permanentgameeffects]
