Edit 26 November 2021: I have updated this Mod to work with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager and updated the keybinds for all three games. Please let me know if you encounter any issues, and please be sure to always backup your unmodified Mass Effect before modding it
(NOTE FOR MASS EFFECT 1: at this time, Mass Effect 1 still requires a Coalesced edit that overrides other Mods that edit the same file. If this is an issue, I can write a post about the changes I made to the Coalesced file so you can implement them yourself.)
Is there a me3 mod for "Optional for Mass Effect 2: Prevent Sprint/Storm from entering Cover"
Edit: i looked at the option this mod changes, and there is no such option for me3 built in. Edit: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/1379
Don't know why but this mod is somehow causing certain dialogue sequences to be skipped and unavailable. When it is installed in Mass Effect 2 LE and I try to initiate dialogue that starts a loyalty mission then sometimes it will just skip the entire conversation after a couple lines, and will do so every time I interact with them and thus I cannot start the quest.
I narrowed it down to just this mod causing the issue but cannot find anyone else with the same issue.
Thank you so much!! After some searching, I even found a way to at least change the Keybinds out of game.
If anyone here is searching for that option, you need to go into Game/ME2/BioGame/DLC/DLC_MOD_ExtraKeybinds/CookedPCConsole and edit the BIOInput.ini file. Anything in there should be self explanatory. Just change the key names of the keybinds that you want to edit. I for my part just switched the keybinds for cover and sprinting.
Ok, so I figured out that all the configs in ME3 have to be edited in the coalesced file. But whenever I just switch LeftControl with LeftShift, the mod stops working completely and it goes back to E doing everything. I just want cover to be Shift and sprint to be Control. Do I have to change something else as well together with swapping the two keys?
Solution: 1.:You need ME3Tweaks ModManager 2.:Download and unzip the Mod somewhere (like an empty folder) 3.:Drag&Drop Default_DLC_MOD_ExtraKeybinds.bin into your ModManager (like installing a Mod) 4.:Modmanager "unpacks" the bin into an regular folder named Default_DLC_MOD_ExtraKeybinds (appears next to the bin) 5.:Inside are regular Text/txt files, open Bioinput and change the Keybinds. 6.:Drag&Drop Default_DLC_MOD_ExtraKeybinds.txt (not the bin!) into ModManager again (see .3) 7.:Modmanager "repacks" a new Default_DLC_MOD_ExtraKeybinds.bin (next to the .txt files) 8.:Replace the new Default_DLC_MOD_ExtraKeybinds.bin with the old and delete the unpacked folder (see .4) 9.:Now zip everything up again (DLC_MOD_ExtraKeybinds folder + moddesc.ini) and install it like any mod (ignore improper mod warning).
I feel like having a separate Cover key unconnected to the Sprint key is more trouble than it's worth. How do I rebind the Cover key to be the same as the Sprint key?
So a friend of mine downloaded this for her copy and it just... Doesn't work for some reason in ME3? It's literally her only mod. We can't get anywhere on Palaven because of it. Are we just doing something wrong?
(LE1) After deleting my settings save file (in "Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Save\ME1\PROFILE") I finally got it to work. Seems like it was overriding the Coalesced_INT.bin file. Thanks for the mod, it is now working as intended.
Edit: I should note I did try resetting the controls in the options menu before, which wasn't enough.
Also I've found a way to toggle sprinting for anyone interested: In BioInput.ini, change Bindings=( Name="PC_Sprint", Command="OnRelease StormOff | OnHold 0.3 StormOn" ) to Bindings=( Name="PC_Sprint", Command="StormOn" ) and Bindings=( Name="PC_MoveForward", Command="Axis aBaseY Speed=1.0" ) to Bindings=( Name="PC_MoveForward", Command="Axis aBaseY Speed=1.0 | OnRelease StormOff" )
Honestly, your best bet would be to follow dukeofkiewit's Tutorial or Padme's Tutorial, using d00telemental's Coalesced Editing Tools. Unfortunately, I do not know how to edit Mass Effect 3's Coalesced file yet, as I haven't gotten to the third game yet and haven't looked.
If you want to know precisely which lines I switched, I'd be happy to show you! You'll have to get the Coalesced.bin files unpacked, and once you do, you'll be editing BIOGame_Config_BIOInput.ini and BIOGame_Config_BIOGame.ini.
To disable Storm enters Cover: 1. Open the BIOGame.ini 2. Search for "m_bEnableStormToCover=true" 3. Set to "m_bEnableStormToCover=false"
To disable Mouse Smoothing: 1. Open the BIOInput.ini 2. Search for "bEnableMouseSmoothing=true" 3. Set to "bEnableMouseSmoothing=false"
To set Use / Sprint / Cover Keybind to only Use: 1. Open the BIOInput.ini 2. Search for "Bindings=( Name="PC_Action", Command="Exclusive Used | TryClimbOrMantleCover | Exclusive TryAcquireCover | OnRelease StormOff | OnHold 0.2 StormOn | OnTap 0.3 TryExitCover 1" )" 3. Set to "Bindings=( Name="PC_Action", Command="Exclusive Used" )"
To create the Sprint Keybind: 1. Open the BIOInput.ini 2. Search for "[SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase]" and scroll down until you're near the bottom of that section (just above"[SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault]" 3. Add a new line "Bindings=( Name="PC_Sprint", Command="TryClimbOrMantleCover | OnRelease StormOff | OnHold 0.1 StormOn | OnTap 0.3 TryExitCover 1" )" 4. Scroll down past "[SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault]" and to the bottom of that section (just above "[SFXGame.SFXGameModePowerWheel]" 5. Add a new line "Bindings=( Name="LeftShift", Command="PC_Sprint" )
To create the Cover Keybind: 1. Open the BIOInput.ini 2. Search for "[SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase]" and scroll down until you're near the bottom of that section (just above"[SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault]" 3. Add a new line "Bindings=( Name="PC_Cover", Command="Exclusive TryAcquireCover | OnTap 0.3 TryExitCover 1" )" 4. Scroll down past "[SFXGame.SFXGameModeDefault]" and to the bottom of that section (just above "[SFXGame.SFXGameModePowerWheel]" 5. Add a new line "Bindings=( Name="LeftControl", Command="PC_Cover" )
Please note, you can change the Sprint key and Cover key Name to which ever keyboard button you want it assigned to. For example, Sprint could be "Name="LeftAlt"" and Cover could be "Name="C""
Is this for Mass Effect 1 or 2? Preventing Storm from entering cover is only available to ME2 and 3. Not ME1. If you are talking about ME2, it should be in file "-_-_BIOGame_Config_BIOInput"
Brilliant and very thorough! Could you please pin these instructions or putting them up in the description? It could help a lot of people. Looking forward to trying out the separate controls.
Thank you for that. Those kind of instructions should be in .txt with all mods editing this file, otherwise their useless.
Edit. Be carefull messing up with those settings, cause I ended up not being able to enter mako: I can exit but the same key "F" doesn't initiate boarding.
Does anyone know yet if these instructions work for me3 as well? This is a must have edit. I spent a little time trying to figure it out on my own by looking at original me3 mods, etc, but I'm just not confident in what I'm doing here

EDIT: Also it disables use of spacebar, period.

In BioInput.ini, change

toBindings=( Name="PC_Sprint", Command="StormOn" )
andBindings=( Name="PC_MoveForward", Command="Axis aBaseY Speed=1.0" )

Thanks
