Phnx

Hi again. Could someone more skilled than me please combine these two textures? "Torso_F_NRM" and "Torso_M_NRM" found in the editor at "XComGame\Content\XCOM_2\Packages\Characters\Humans\HumanShared\Textures

Anyway, your "random numbers" were invaluable for me to learn how to get it right. So, thanks again! :)

Thanks again for your help! "Smoothness" definitely made an impact on how clearly the reflections are displayed on the visor. But I still can't get them to show up like in your mod. They are still too dark and lack colour. I got it! The visor colour was too dark. I'm using your setting "0.1" for XYZ. :smile: I also learned that there is zero difference between "Reflectance" "1" and "0.001". May just be a switch, X=1/0 - on/off. There is also a max "Smoothness" value. I guess it's somewhere between "1" and "2". Anything more than "2" doesn't seem to make any difference. Most values range from "0" to "1", such as "Opacity".

Hmm, okay. Thanks. I've been fooling with it now, but I cannot for the life of me find a pathfinder helmet with the "VFX_Smoothness" "VFX_Reflectance" vector parameters. And adding them doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I'm using incorrect values?

Okay. NP. So, the way I understand it is I just have to add new "VectorParameters" for the "char_vis_mat" shader, call them "VFX_Reflectance" etc., make them "ShaderParameterType_Scalar" and figure out good values? :)

Cool. Do you per chance still have the project? :)

Yup. :D

I like to be of assistance. Maybe now you could tell me how you managed to get the environment map onto the pathfinder helmet?! :laugh:

Missing some shader data maybe?

A good thing would be to start from here. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/5736252-guide-player-armor-model-swap-with-frosty/

Sorry to bump this, but I'm no good with textures and this is still on my wishlist. I can only do things like this: http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom2/mods/627/? :laugh:

I'm sorry. Essentially I just wanted to give advice. In the future I'll refrain from doing that.

Not meaning to be rude, but that's unnecessary. You make tons of money later in the game, especially with the right AVP investments. ;)

Hi. I know we are in the early stages of MEA modding, but maybe someone has tinkered with this already?! I know how to lower the opacity, which is one thing I like to do/have already done. I'd like to combine this with increasing the reflectance of the Hyperguardian, Andromeda and Pathfinder helmets' visors. The problem is there are no shader values for that (Heleus has those), but maybe there is a work-around? If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it! :)

Sorry, please disregard! :P

Agreed. I guess when the mod tools are a bit more advanced and/or the understanding of modding MEA is greater we may see a mod like that. :)

There was the Enhanced Third-Person Camera (WIP) mod but it was removed for unknown reasons.

You can't without the Frosty Editor. And in the editor you can only see what exactly has been modified with the project file, which most modders don't publish.

Yes. Check the bottom of the description tab in the mod manager.

I know, but I figured doing it myself would be a good way to learn FrostyEditor a bit better. Don't plan on publishing my own version or anything -- Ooogen did an awesome job figuring it out Yeah. More people should publish their project files so we can learn from them. :)

Wait for the next Frosty update. It's going to have a mesh preview.

Awesome! Can't wait for the new version! :D

I'd love to see the scarf on Sara Ryder's jacket removed, if possible. :)
