Mass Effect 3 Hair Mods

broken image


Instructions:

Mass Effect 3 shows up in my Binaries Win32 folder without the.exe file ending - just MassEffect3. So when I try to rename the files - MassEffect3 as MassEffect3bak.exe and Texmod as MassEffect3.exe, Origin doesn't recognize it correctly and instead just starts to redownload Mass Effect 3 when I launch, instead of launching Texmod. Startide 1 0 – arcade top down shooter game. Below are all download links ↓ DLC download-link ONLY for STEAM users: DL.

Included in zip:

Audio plugin torrents. XXXX.tpf*
XXXX.upk (optional for manual install)
BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.pcc*
Resources folder (this is a modder's resource – you will not need these files if you are doing an install of this mod)

*required

I included the Resources folder for anyone who wants to mess with the mod in 3DS Max, but otherwise, you won't need it. The .upk file is required if you want to replace a particular hair mesh. Texttowav. The .pcc file is required if you just want an easy, quick install.

Required Programs:
ME3 Explorer (this mod was created using the latest version of ME3Explorer Versions 0109K)
Gibbed Mass Effect Save Editor
Texmod Topaz texture effects 1 1 0.

4. Open the BIOG_HMM_HIR_PRO_R.pcc file located in your game's CookedPCConsole folder (BioGameCookedPCConsole).

6. Go to Transfer > Import from UDK … a new window will open. Import the .udk file.

7. A little popup should say 'Done' after. Now you can close Meshplorer.

8. Go to Tools > Tocbinupdater in ME3 Explorer.

Mass Effect 2 Hair Mod

Hair Mesh: BIOG_HMM_HIR_PRO_R.Hair_FormalSpikes.HMM_HIR_Fsk_MDL

HED_Scalp_Diff: BIOG_HMM_HIR_PRO_R.Hair_CrewCut.HMM_HIR_Cru_Diff

HED_Scalp_Spec: None

Hair_Diff & Hair_Mask: None

Hair

Note: Some hairstyles will look fine in most cutscenes but there can be weird transparency issues during combat. This has to do with the Hair_Diff and Hair_Mask you choose in Gibbed. You can 'fix' it by setting Hair_Diff and Hair_Mask to BIOG_HMM_HED_PROMorph.KaiLeng.HMM_HED_PROKaiLeng_Hair_Diff – this will make the hair look opaque in combat, but it will make the hair look ugly during cutscenes. You can play around with the Hair_Diff and Hair_Mask in Gibbed to try and find a better solution – the transparency issues have nothing to do with the mod texture or mesh itself, so good luck
