Wavy Hair
Wavy Hair
Another wavy hairstyle for Shep, because even with the reapers attacking, she still wants to look amazing.
Included in .rar:
.tpf file*
.PSK file
.upk file
BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.pcc*
*required
I included the PSK file for anyone who wants to mess with it in 3DS Max, but otherwise, you won’t need it. The .upk file is required if you want to replace a particular hair mesh. The .pcc file is required if you just want an easy, quick install.
Required Programs:
ME3 Explorer
Gibbed Mass Effect Save Editor
Texmod
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.pcc FILE BEFORE YOU START IN CASE YOU MESS UP.
Easy Instructions (using .pcc):
- Paste the BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.pcc into your game’s CookedPCConsole folder (BioGameCookedPCConsole).
- Skip to Step 8 under Manual Instructions!
Manual Instructions (using .udk):
- Open ME3 Explorer.
- Open Meshplorer (Developer Tools > Mesh > Meshplorer)
- Load the PCC (File > Load PCC )
- Open the BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.pcc file located in your game’s CookedPCConsole folder (BioGameCookedPCConsole).
- Click on the hair you want to replace – HMF_HIR_PROJessica_MDL. (You can replace other hairs but they can cause crashing issues so unless you’re experienced, just follow my instructions exactly).
- Go to Transfer > Import UDK … a new window will open. Go to File > Open UDK package and select the .UPK file.
- Click on the file that appears in the left window and then LOD 0 should appear in the right window. Click on LOD 0 and then go to Import LOD. A little popup should say “Done” after. Now you can close Meshplorer.
- Go to Tools > Tocbinupdater in ME3 Explorer.
- Go to File > Check PCTocbin and select your PCConsoleTOC.bin file located under your game’s BioGame folder.
- It should find an update and a popup will ask you if you want to update it – click yes.
OK YOU’RE DONE WITH ME3 EXPLORER!
NOW OPEN UP GIBBED.
Follow these directions to edit your hair in Gibbed using this information:
BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Hair_PROJessica.HMF_HIR_PROJessica_MDL
BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Hair_Short02.HMF_HIR_PROShort_Diff
BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Hair_Short02.HMF_HIR_PROShort_Diff
OK NOW YOU’RE DONE WITH GIBBED!
ONE MORE STEP!
12. Open Texmod and load the .tpf (detailed instructions for complete n00bs here)
RUN THE GAME FROM TEXMOD AND YOUR SHEP SHOULD HAVE GORGEOUS HAIR!
Hi, I’ve used this hair before and it’s worked perfectly fine for me but for some strange reason, the textures are all out of whack now.
I’ve tried reloading the mod with ME3explorer and Gibbed by your instructions so many times, but I just can’t seem to figure out what or why the textures won’t show up correctly. I also make sure to open it up with TexMod.
This is what the problem looks like: http://i62.tinypic.com/nffi8o.png
I’d appreciate any assistance!
That’s really weird. It looks like Texmod didn’t work?
I can confirm this problem. I think it might be because ME3 went through an update? I’m using the latest SVN ME3 Explorer at the time of writing this and when I use the TPF tool it says FORMAT which means these TPFs are out of date as far as my limited understanding can tell… I think. The TPF tool in me3 explorer will not apply any mods that are older. I have an extensive collection of mods and only the newer ones will apply with texmod or the me3 explorer tpf thingy. this is a real shame because most of my mods are old and I love them :(
