No one is going to be happy with whatever opacity Mental chooses to make so here's a small tutorial so you can do it yourselves, as she has stated several times that this mod has open permissions, as per the description.
BE ADVISED: Because of the material used, "opaque" doesn't cover the whole face. You'll only notice a slight change in the visor.
How to edit the visor opacity in Tali Overhaul & HD (LE1)
1) Open up one of the packages in Legendary Explorer with Package Editor
2) Navigate to tali_overhaul_0 > TaliOverhaul > Materials > Tali_Vsr
3) In the Properties Tab, click on ScalarParameterValues
4) Click on VSR_Opacity
5) Change that to whatever you want (0 is clear, 1 is opaque)
6) Save the file
7) Repeat 1-6 for the other packages
8) If you want to use the patches, then you must change the value there as well
Note: If you want to change the visor color, go into VectorParameterValues > VSR_Colour_01
-----------------------------------
If you want to use the vanilla visor for Tali Overhaul LE1, it is located at BIOG_QRN_ARM_LGT_R > LGTa > QRN_FAC_ARM_LGTa_MAT_1b.
Follow the same steps as above for the opacity, color etc.
Check out the Legendary Explorer Wiki for more information on how to apply it to Tali. Use the search bar as some guides aren't in the main page.
1) Legendary Explorer is accessible via the same Tools drop-down in ME3Tweaks Mod Manager as Mass Effect Modder
2) Package Editor can be found under the Core Editors
3) Do not post bug reports nor comments aimed at the mod author about stuff you yourself did to the files. If you require aid, the public modding Discord is always available at this link: https://discord.gg/masseffectmods
I have set Tali_Vsr to 0.667 in all packages (thanks to the search functionality of the package manager) before installing the mod, and Talis Visor is still clear as day.
Could it be that there is another value that has to also be changed for the effect to show?
Edit: The new item 8 (also edit the compatibility files) is what was missing. Thank you very much!
Edit 2: Nope, there is an incompatibility with one of my other mods. No idea which, but outside Ilos the opacity is 0 (zero), no matter what I set it to. When I have time I will try to find out which mod might be the culprit here...
MH must have changed some things around. Will take a while for me to check as I'm on WiFi and I only have the HD version installed. Once I do, I'll see if this post needs updating.
EDIT: Updated the post to reflect the new changes.

Image withTali_Vsr->VSR_Opacity set to 0.999: https://ibb.co/BGsGPy1
As you can see, both are oplain as day.
This is again Opacity 0,667. This time I changed the color to R=0.2;G=0;B=0.1;A=0.667 : https://ibb.co/dK5j376
The color change is visible, but only if something is behind it that is in the background, thus outside Talis helmet.
No matter what you do to the visor (apart from setting the oppacity to something greater than 1 (looks weird!)), it has no effect on how Talis face is seen.
Edit: For completeness sake, here is Opacity 1.0: https://ibb.co/dfsTZyQ
Note: Tali Overhaul is the *only* mod installed. Nothing else. I use the HD version.
Will update the post to reflect this.
Okay, then I see the misunderstanding here. The material is simply always fully transparent, no matter what. That, of course, explains everything.
(But the color can be changed, which is pretty cool. Thank you very much for the information!)
thanks in advanced and have a good day
Edit, after doing some more research I see that someone else was trying to do the same thing, but max opaque is still see through, and it was recommended to change the material, any recommendations of what material to change it to? Or how to change it?
Once again, have a good day
I have noticed that her eyes sockets sometime are not in line with her face did you ever notice that?
Edit: Version 2.3 of this mod and prior actually don't have this problem! So if any of you guys experience Tali's eyes clipping through her eyeholes, use V2.3 until a new patch fixes this issue.
Edit: download this hotfix which was made by the modder https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gdu_1rgxQyiQJoLQiK1NRhU1KAbhQ38d/view
Place it in Your mass effect directory. Navigate to where you installed the game and then follow this path
Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\BioGame\DLC\DLC_MOD_TaliOverhaulHD\CookedPCConsole
Put the hotfix here, overwrite when asked.
This fixed the issue for me :)
If I look at the list in the Mod Manager, I cannot see it. How does this mod appear in the files if it's installeD?
I can confirm that she returns to her LCM appearance in cutscenes when this mod is disabled.
Edit: Hmm. Appears the one in that mod is a custom recolor, rather than the actual, proper Colossus. Know if there's any way to get the real Colossus?
