LE2 Improved Functionality

This mod will serve as my repository for any LE2 specific requirements that universally track across my mods. It will be a required install for certain mods as well as resource for other mod developers who wish to use it.

Implementations so far:

Hiding hair on henchmen with helmets - This function is included in the LE2 Unofficial Patch

LE2's code does not support removing the hair mesh of henchmen when they wear helmets. This is because the vanilla game uses face breathers for some henchmen and most do not even have a hair mesh.

2 mergemods installed, the first is bHelmetHidesHair.m3m which adds a custom config bool to SFXPawn_Henchman. The second is ShowHelmet.m3m which updates the ShowHelmet function in SFXPawn_Henchman to use the bHelmetHidesHair bool in determining if a henchman should remove their hair mesh if wearing a helmet. The bHelmetHidesHead functionality is unaffected.

The function will determine first if bHelmetHidesHead is TRUE if so use that process. If FALSE then it will move on to bHelmetHidesHair and use that process if TRUE. If FALSE the function will move on accordingly.

How to use:

After install you can add the bool bHelmetHidesHair = TRUE directly to the BioH default properties and/or include a BIOGame.ini coalesced file to control that pawn's bool state. Example:

bHelmetHidesHair=TRUE

Arc Projector CTD with SFXGame recompilation -This function is included in the LE2 Unofficial Patch

When mods recompile the SFXWeapon class in LE2 the game will freeze/ctd when selecting the Arc Projector. This is because the PSC_ShellCasing is set to null on the AP's default properties. This does not affect the vanilla game and I do not currently understand why not.

A corrected version of the Arc Projector is included in this mod that sets the AP's PSC_ShellCasing property to its correct component thereby stopping freeze/ctd issues with a modded game.

DefaultColorScale Coalesced Configurable

The DefaultColorScale is a vector variable in Engine.pcc and is now configurable via Coalesced. It has the value XYZ which corresponds to RGB. It will affect every level in the game.

To enable add a configdelta file to your mod and enter the following:

DefaultColorScale = (X=10,Y=0. 1,Z=0. 1)

This example would make the colors super red.

Armor Helmet Matching System created

A system to match Helmets to certain Torsos has been created. The way this works is via an Array (ArmorHelmetMatches) that has 2 Ints (ArmorMatchId
