Gibbed Save Editor Mass Effect 2 GuideEffect

Gibbed's save editor for mass effect 2! Easy to use and enjoy! This save editor can edit your character, resources paragon/renegade points name credits etc.! This save editor can also edit mass effect 1 events and add squad members and complete their loyality missions with simple click! Firstly you will need to open your save into Gibbed's Borderlands 2 save editor and move your way to 'Raw' to edit your characters Raw Data. Now scroll down until you see MissionPlaythroughs. When you find, it navigate your way to the arrow that will open up the collection window. Image below will give assistance if needed. Like Virmire Wrex killed by Ashley, you'll need to uncheck that but you'll need to import your save as a new game for this to take effect. But if nothing was checked and Wrex was recruited then he survived.I hope this helps:) This link is to a Tutorial on Gibbed's Save Editor I've found it very helpful.

A short description of how to use a head-morph file: after opening Gibbed, open the target save, switch to the Appearance tab and click Head Morph, then select Import From File, select the downloaded headmorph and save afterward (new save is recommended, in case there's an error).
When modifying a face I'd recommend using a changelog. So when you restart the game to change something in the creation screen, you'll know the changes that were made and they can be re-applied easily. Also remember to save a duplicate file or folder before changing anything. Many of the described color changes apply to Femsheps only. Changing colors is about intensity and balance. The higher the numbers, the brighter the color. The closer the colors are together, the grayer or whiter the resulting color will be. So, if you want purple, make sure blue and red are higher in value than green. If you want a lighter version of the same color, multiply all three values separately by say 1,2 or 1,5. Gibbed's newly added Color Editor may make things a bit easier too. Adjusting the V- value is an easy way to get a lighter or darker color.
Vector Parameters
  • Hair color can be changed under HED_Hair_Colour_Vector.
  • To add a colored glow to hair shine, change the values under Highlight1Color and Highlight2Color. This can give you a green shine on purple hair for example.
  • Iris color is EYE_Iris_Colour_Vector.
  • Eyebrow color is HED_Addn_Colour_Vector.
  • Lip color is HED_Lips_Tint_Vector. To see good results the scalar parameter also needs to be changed in Scalar Parameters.
  • Eye shadow color can be changed under HED_EyeShadow_Tint_Vector. This changes the color of the eyeliner around the eyes.
  • HED_Brow_Tint_Vector changes the color of the eye shadow on the eyelids. The result really becomes clear when the scalar parameter is also changed.
  • Blush color is HED_Blush_Vector. Once again the result is best visible when the scalar parameter is also changed.
Scalar Parameters
  • Blush is easily changed at HED_Blush_Scalar in the Scalar Parameters. By adding steps of +0,1 or +0,2 to the current value, the intensity can be altered. Often I end up using around 1,0.
  • Lip gloss is changed at HED_Addn_Spec_Lips_Scalar. Usually adding +0,1 or +0,2 will do.
  • Lip color intensity can be determined at HED_Lips_Tint_Scalar in the Scalar Parameters. If no color was chosen in the Vector Parameters, this setting enhances the normal (red) lip color. This one reacts strongly, so steps can be as small as 0,01. I usually start at +0,1 to +0,2, depending on the desired result.
  • Hair shine is adjustable under HAIR_Spec_Contribution_Scalar. In ME3 adding around +0,1 or +0,2 is usually enough. It also works together with HAIR_Shine_Desaturate_Scalar, which reflects colored lights (in ME2 between 0,5 and 1,0). Hair is already pretty shiny in ME3, but in ME2 I used this setting to add more shine to Julie's hair. Hightlight1Intensity and Hightlight2Intensity can be used to enhance the colored highlights determined in the Vector Parameters. I often add +1 to both values.
  • Eyeliner intensity can be changed under HED_EyeShadow_Tint_Scalar. This is the (black) line around the eyes. In ME3 I often find setting it to around 1,5 is sufficient.
  • HED_Brow_Tint_Scalar enhances the color of the eye shadow on the eyelids. Mostly I set this between 0,5 and 1,5.
Texture Parameters
The facial textures consist of two important parts: the diff and the norm. The diff is the actual texture that has the color and freckles and such. The norm is an added layer that reflects the light. To improve the standard textures I sometimes swap the norm texture for a different one.
For Femsheps, the third complexion option (freckles), can benefit from using the norm that belongs to the first complexion, to give it a more silky look.
HED_Norm: BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R.Normal.HMF_HED_PROBase_Face_Norm
The following set of changes can also give Femsheps a smoother and more shiny look:
  • HED_Norm: BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R.PROShepard.HMF_PROShepard_Face_Norm
  • HED_Norm_02: BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R.PROShepard.HMF_HED_PROSheppard_Face_Norm_Stack
  • HED_Scalp_Norm: BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R.PROShepard.HMF_HED_PROShepard_Scalp_Norm
  • (Added manually) HED_Scalp_Mask: BIOG_HMF_HED_PROMorph_R.PROShepard.HMF_HED_PROShepard_Scalp_Spec
Offset Bones
Changing the mouth and the rotation of the eyebrows can be done in the Offset Bones section. The x,y,z numbers are somewhat like coordinates, which determine the location of these points relative to a central (invisible) point. To keep things manageable, I generally ignore the - (minus) before a current value. So, adding -0,2 to the y-value means: (Y) 4,766737 - 0,2 = 4,566737. And adding +0,2 to -4,766737 means -4,966737.
The eyebrows attach at two points: Brow_(left + right) and outBrow_(left + right).
Brow is closest to the nose.
  • For lifting the outBrow_(left + right), add steps of +0,1 to the z-value, usually around +0,3 in ME2. Adding similar values to the y-value stretches the brow outward. If the outBrow is moved more than +0,3 however, the x-value may need to be adjusted a little ( -0,1 / -0,3) because of the curving of the head. In ME3 lowering the outBrow often seems more appropriate, for a more friendly face.
  • Lifting the inner brow (Brow_left + right) can be done by adding steps of +0,1 to the z-value. This helps with some minor eyelid issues in ME3.
  • Moving the bridge of the nose inwards/ outwards can be done by adding steps of 0,1 to the x-value of Sneer.
The mouth can be changed a lot, but needs great care to avoid issues in conversation scenes.
  • For a smaller mouth, add between +0,1 to +0,3 to the y-value under outerUpperLip_(left + right).
  • For smaller lips, add between -0,1 and -0,3 to the y-value of lowerLip_Left + right or to the upperLip_Left + right. Be sure to check the in-game animation after changing these.
  • To lift the corners of the mouth add between -0,1 and -0,3 to the x-value of outerUpperLip_(left + right). This helps faces a lot in ME3, since BioWare has made all mouths look somewhat sad, by lowering their corners.
For the creation of V Shepard I used a lot more, obviously :>
As an example, this is a large part of the change-log used for ME3 Jane Shepard:

Gibbed Mass Effect 2 Editor

Share your Mass Effect hero with your fellow gamers!

Are you tired of the boring old un-attractive female hair styles that look rediculous when in a battle surrounded by a swarm of geth? Well not to worry, some clever people have created a way to import some of the female NPC hair styles (shown below) into shepards hair, and here are the steps to follow:
  1. If you haven't already, download Gibbed's Mass Effect 2 Save Editor.
  2. Start a new Mass Effect 2 game preferably with a female shepard (although putting female hairstyles on a male shepard will surely have interesting results). When you are at the character creation screen for the new character, create your shepard, and then choose the hair colour you want your shepard to wear with the new style, and choose a random hair style (doesn't matter which one as you will be changing the imput code anyway).
  3. Once you have created the game, save the game where you are and exit Mass Effect 2, remembering what character you saved as. Also I recommend making a backup file of your save game as you never know. =]
  4. Open Gibbed's Mass Effect 2 Save Editor. Now the fun begins! xD Click on the FOLDER icon at the top left corner to open a save game. Find the save game you just made in the folder Bioware/Mass Effect 2/Saves/*name of character*/Save0001 (or something like that).
  5. Your game details should have loaded into the Save Editor. Next click on the RAW tab at the top. This is where all the modifications can be made for your game.
  6. To modify the hair style, under the heading '2. Squad', there are the words 'Henchmen' and 'Player', we want 'Player' at the moment. Click on the CROSS, left of 'Player', then the same for 'Appearance', and then the same for 'Morph Head'. Now if you look next to 'Hair Mesh' there is a code starting with 'BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO..'. This is the code you need to change for the different hair meshs.
    To change it literally copy and paste one of these codes below into it's place. *Don't worry this won't overite the original hair mesh file, it will only change the input code for the game to register what hair mesh to use.
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Mom.HMF_HIR_Mom_MDL
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Sexy.HMF_HIR_Sxy_MDL
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Cyberbabe.HMF_HIR_Cyb_MDL
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Mohawk.HMF_HIR_Mhk_MDL
    Almost done, you have copied the mesh into the right place, all that is left to do is copy the correct texture codes into the correct place otherwise your hair will look very strange. :P
  7. To change the hair texture code, below 'Hair Mesh' next to 'Texture Parameters', it will say '(Collection)'. Click on the word and on the right there should be a box with an ellipsis (..) in it. Click on that. A new window should come up with all the different texture codes. For the non-standard hair style you have used you only need to replace the _Diff and _Norm codes, don't worry about the _Mask and _Tang. If you look next to the numbers [4] and [5] on the left, there should be HAIR_Diff = .. and HAIR_Norm = .. These are the textures you need to change. Click on 'HAIR_Diff = ' to start with.
    On the right there should be the Name -> HAIR_Diff and Value -> BIOG_HMF_HIR. etc.
    All you need to do is copy and paste the Value code of the following corresponding textures codes of which non-standard hair mesh you replaced earlier. Do the same for the _Norm code.
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Mom.HMF_HIR_Mom_Diff
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Mom.HMF_HIR_Mom_Norm
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Sexy.HMF_HIR_Sxy_Diff
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Sexy.HMF_HIR_Sxy_Norm
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Cyberbabe.HMF_HIR_Cyb_Diff
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Cyberbabe.HMF_HIR_Cyb_Norm
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Mohawk.HMF_HIR_Mhk_Diff
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Mohawk.HMF_HIR_Mhk_Norm
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Mohawk.HMF_HIR_Mhk_Scalp_Diff
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Mohawk.HMF_HIR_Mhk_Scalp_Norm
    BIOG_HMF_HIR_PRO.Mohawk.HMF_HIR_Mhk_Scalp_Mask
    *For the Mowhawk, you will need to also replace the Scalp: _Diff, _Norm, and _Mask codes because you are exposing the scalp textures as well. =]
  8. Once you are done, click on the FLOPPY DISK icon at the top left to save your changes. Save by overiting the original save game file, but make sure you save it as the same name it was originally.
  9. Et Voila! You should be able to load that save game and be able to play with your brand new awesome hair style!
