  • In an investor Q&A yesterday, John Riccitello (CEO of EA) announced that Mass Effect 3 was going to be tweaked for a larger market via some handwavey changes that involve game mechanics. You might think that – with an eye to the console best sellers of last year – they’d be aiming to CODBLOPSify the game and make it more shootery. But no, what they’re actually talking about is shooter-meets-RPG which is what I thought ME2 was anyway.

Key Bindings & Commands

Mass Effect 3 Tweaks

On the right side of the editor you will see the existing keybindings. Scroll down to the bottom where there will be a blank line. Add any new bindings one at a time. Press ‘enter’ once you’ve entered a new binding to start a new line.

Examples:

( Name=”NumPadSeven”, Command=”initcredits 9000000″ )
( Name=”NumPadEight”, Command=”setrenegade 1000″ )
( Name=”NumPadTwo”, Command=”setparagon 1000″ )
( Name=”NumPadZero”, Command=”God” )
( Name=”NumPadZero”, Command=”ENABLEPOWERCOOLDOWN 0″ )
( Name=”F4″, Command=”givesupergun” )
( Name=”F5″, Command=”givesuperarmor” )

If a binding doesn’t work, check ” and spacing in the code.

If you want to change the stats of an individual gun, such as fire rate, damage, or recoil.

Accuracy

maxaimerror = (X= , Y= )
minxaimeror = (X= , Y= )

maxzoomaimerror = (X= , Y= )
minzoomxaimeror = (X= , Y= )

X and Y fields should be the same. Bigger values mean less accurate. The above two values fix accuracy when not holding down right mouse, or aiming. “zoomaimerror” is for accuracy while aiming.

Crosshair size
Crosshairs DO NOT scale with accuracy. It is up to you to fix the cross hair size to fit the accuracy that you have modded.

maxzoomcrosshairrange = (X= , Y= )
minzoomcrosshairrange = (X= , Y= )

Damage

damage = (X= , Y= )

X is value of weapon damage at level I, while Y is the damage value at level X.

Note: Make sure you also fix the statbardamage attribute to be the same values as the damage that you set. There are two other values for stat bars: accuracy and rate of fire. These two values don’t correspond with the values that actually affect the behavior of the gun.

Rate of fire

rateoffire = (X= , Y= )

Both X and Y values should be the same.

Weight

Mass Effect 3 Tweaks

encumbranceweight = (X= , Y= )

Value x is the weight of the weapon at level I, and value Y is the weight at level X. For example, a weight of 1.4 means your cooldown will be slowed by -140% if you equip this weapon.

Unlocking Casual Appearances:
biogame.ini > sfxgame > sfxplayercustomization > casualappearances

To unlock, set the PlotFlag for the armor that you want to -1.

Example:
