📋 About This Mod
EGM's Weapons in Cutscenes Fix (ported for LE2)
This fix makes Shepard and squadmates use their carried weapon inside cutscenes, in preference to a weapon that is automatically set by the scene. No more using Avengers or Predator pistols.
There are some requirements:
- If the scene is animated for a pistol/smg (one handed weapon) and the squadmate doesn't have a one-handed weapon, they will default to the cutscene weapon.
- Similarly if it requires a two-handed weapon (rifle, sniper or shotgun) the squadmate needs such a weapon.
This avoids animation glitches and stupid looking scenes where someone is waving a widow around like it is a pistol.
A few scenes have been edited in the mod to work properly.
Localisation (Languages)
All languages are available.
Installation
Import into Mod Manager. Apply.
Notes:
This has been split from the main Expanded Galaxy Mod (EGM) page to make it easier to use in collections aimed at LE2. The contents are identical.
For Mod developers - if you want to force a particular weapon in a cutscene set bool 8820 to TRUE. This will disable the cutscene code. Always remember to reset it to false at the end of the scene.
