📋 About This Mod
Overview:
This mod is my personal collection of improvements and fixes to Mass Effect 2 LE UI. Details below, works with LE2 Unofficial Patch and Expanded Shepard Armory (which is recommended, but not required).
Armor and clothes loadout screen:
• Fixed casual clothes resetting on entering choice menu
• Fixed gamepad navigation when exiting choice menu would close whole screen
• Added a safety mechanism to not display armor / clothes with missing model for selected Shepard gender
• Fixed missing or duplicated limbs for user of Expanded Shepard Armory
Loadout screen with ESA:
If my mod will detect that ESA is installed, when changing chest options in menu it will try to add or remove body parts (shoulders, arms or legs) when needed, depending on the "size" of torso armor, to make sure you won't end up with a crippled Shepard.
Unfortunately due to design structure of both LE2, and ESA, there is a limitation where my mod cannot dynamically determine if armor is just for a chest or full body. To overcome this, the mod is using it's own small database of armors ids and their sizes, placed in the ini file. I have tried my best to include in the ini all chest armor options from pure ESA, Hahne-Kedar Armour Pieces and More Modular Armour Parts mods, but any other mod is not included and it might not trigger body parts reset mechanism!
Good news is it's easy for mod devs to add support for this mechanism.
Datapad Xbox UI:
This mod will fix datapad UI to show proper Xbox icons when playing via gamepad. Buttons will also dynamically change with input type (gamepad / KBM).
