new at Nudefix, newbie on modding, so I am asking for suggestions.
After some years I am playing Mass Effect Trilogy again.
I don’t like “swap system” of ME2, so this time I wanted, for my personal play, to free Shepard from swap, in the meantime making all crew members more or completely nude, excluding Tali, though there is someone working on that.
Furthermore, modifying coalesced and using Texmod, you can have the armor loaded only in the locker.
Even Armor Locker mod seems acting the same.
Renaming the references of graphic files inside tpf, gave ugly issues (I know… stupid way
).So I learned the basic: how to extract and replace textures, create new tpf. Not so satisfied for issues, but it worked so it’s a little start anyway.
So I searched for models to start from, finding a lot, that were extraxted from the game, modified to make them available for posing softwares.
Wrongly (again
) taking “diff”, “norm”, “spec” files from those models to create a tpf file doesn’t work. Indeed in the intro movie”, Miranda have her starting outifit, but completely covered light brown. In one of them there is the original graphic file (HMF_ARM_MIRa and MIRb) and the nude file (arms, legs, body) but I don’t know how to combine them.
So I think that the only way is to learn how to modify graphic files extracted from existing tpf files with photoshop or similar.
Is this the only way, or do you know something else?
Thank for patience reading
Thierry
