Hi.

Thank you for the amazing Tutorial!

I want to give Joker an Alliance Dress Uniform. The standard fatigue that Joker wears has 115 Bones, but the Alliance Dress Uniform only has 110.
So far, you have just touched on the topic of deleting redundant Bones.

How should I go about adding five additional bones?

Best regards
Malte

p.s. One last thing: I downloaded the 3ds Max version in your article. You need to update the link to the torrent file. Currently it is https://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/6307052/ but it should be https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=6307052 since Pirate Bay switched from .sx to .org a while back.

In reply to Saso. Yes, in theory you would have to replace the entire multiplayer Asari with all of Liara - I'm not sure how to make custom colors apply to different parts but poophairjones on tumblr has done it before so maybe she can help you!

Ok so new question– if I wanted to replace all the multiplayer Asari with Liara’s outfit, do I need to export Liara’s outfit and head and combine them in a program like 3ds Max and re-save them? And can I make it so that custom colors apply to various parts of Liara’s coat in multiplayer?

In reply to Saso. Ooooh that sounds really cool but unfortunately I've never modded multiplayer before ... nor have I edited the weapon meshes though I assume it works the same way as replacing any other mesh? Sorry I can't be more helpful! :(

In reply to Saso. I tried looking my CookedPCConsole under all the PCC files and found a bunch for the multiplayer characters (which may be useful later on for my project where I wanted to swap out the Asari multiplayer models for Liara's model), but nothing that looked like it would indicate the exact file of the missile launcher...

Hi, I came across your tutorial as the first link and I think it can help me accomplish what I’m trying to do. However, your tutorial is geared towards editing character meshes– I’m trying to do something else. I want to edit the mesh of my rocket launcher in multiplayer. This thing:
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/f/f9/ME3_Hydra_Heavy_Weapon.png/revision/latest?cb=20120317194543
It looks like crap to me, and I’d like to replace it with a model of something actually legitimately cool-looking (for example a Reaper Blackstar Cannon or ML77 Missile Launcher). At very least I just want the rocket itself to be altered, since that’s what I stare at the most on my back all the time, however, if I could also somehow edit the multiplayer missile launcher VFX to be replaced with the huge red explosion of the Blackstar, that would be an added bonus. Not sure if that’s at all possible, or if you know how to do it, but any assistance you could offer would be appreciated.
And to clarify, I don’t want to edit any mechanical attributes of the multiplayer missile launcher, since that could result in a ban, ONLY visual elements to make it /look/ cooler.

In reply to Sansuni. No idea if it would work, but maybe try using 3dsMax or other 3D editing program to enlarge the Avina mesh to be larger so that when the game shrinks it, it shows as normal size?

In reply to Nefaria.

Sorry, I don’t have a detailed tutorial – I haven’t really done it myself, though I know it’s possible :(
