About this mod

Requirements

BLACKOPS MODS

"BlackOps" Retexturing is a theme i decided to embrace for most of my ME3 mods. The spirit is : sobriety, class, tactical features, stealth/dark, "realism" in a way and no "power rangers" multi-color anymore. If your eyes love it, you might found other mods i did on the same theme by writing BlackOps in the research bar.

DESCRIPTION

I remember i totally felt in love with that gun in me3. Harrier totally fits my definition of a beautiful assault rifle and not any of the rest can compete with that shape that remind me a crossover between P90, FN F2000 & Famas. So i wanted to give this baby a special retexture attention. 

The weapon is willingly not "shiny" anymore. For me this light bouncing means a metal feature ... and today you hardly see metal on real weapon (except barrel and small internal pieces ofc) because of the bad heating property of the steel, ABS is now popular and is a far better material for weapon's shells. I think even in 200 years with flying ships they would still care about heat dispersion with weapons more powerful which produce even more energy.

Im sorry to say in advance i won't take any other weapon retexture request (or modification) since im doing it for myself before everything else. Making this takes some crazy time and can't just do it on a weapon i don't care.

CONTENT SUMMED UP

-Complete new colors arrangements (Dark grey)
-Multiples tones of different steel to gain a more realist aspect. You can now almost guess each weapon part.
-Bouncy light kept on polished steel (barrel, rifle mouth, trigger)
-Bouncy light lowered on weapon shell
-Bouncy light almost canceled on leather so this part can be matt and dark
-New Harrier White Paint pattern
-New Gun serial number and factory name
-Alliance Logo (Idea i took from Chashan)
-Security button logo's taken from M4A1 rifle
-New screws realistic appearance (you won't see that very much but hell why not try)
-Some realist Weariness added everywhere
-Dark tones balanced so you still can see details in game in obscurity
-Led light a bit altered to be a little warmer (and less lemon yellow)
-Updated specular / alphamap file

SPECIAL THANKS & PERMISSIONS

I got to say i was not alone on this, at least for the overall textures. Some awesome guys gave me the access to content of their own retextures. Please let's pray : Deadmeat357, Chashan, smarteck and variobunz for their kindness and generosity. This is thanks to guys like that, mods evolve well and freely. Please don't use my content to build another mod without their consent & mine.

INSTALLATION TIPS (MANUAL ONLY)

Sorry if i don't give you any other way than a TPF installation. Lucky me ME3explorer evolved well and it's just a texture update we are doing here !

0 : Download one of my files and completly shut down your game.
1 : Take the last complete version of ME3explorer, install it & run it.
2 : Hit the green "TPF tool" (you might have to go for a Tex ride if there is no tree yet).
3 : now load my file : Load > xxxxxxxxxx.tpf (wherever you put it).
4 : Hit the "Install Valid" button & wait full process.
5 : Close & now just to be sure, go for an "Autotoc & generate all tocs" ride (another tool).
