Custom Combat Drone Colors for Engineer

Custom Combat Drone Colors for ME3

This mod is no longer supported. Editing drone particle colors in ME3 is too finnicky for me to maintain. Rather than removing the page, I'm keeping it up so that the documentation is still available in case anyone wishes to edit their own drone color. I highly recommend editing the .pcc for your own setup rather than installing the mod, in order to limit compatibility issues.

Description:

 

This is a DLC mod that changes the color particles of Engineer Shepard's combat drone. It does not affect the combat drones of other characters, like multiplayer drones or Tali's drone. It includes over 30 easy-to-install presets, which are described below the installation.

Installation:

DO NOT INSTALL A PRESET AFTER INSTALLING TEXTURE MODS. Like other mods that replace a .pcc package, the presets should be installed before texture replacements like ALOT. Otherwise, something might break. Again: only install before installing ALOT!

1. Install ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. If you already have it installed, just open it up.

2. Download the main file on this mod page.

3. Import the file downloaded here into ME3Tweaks Mod Manager by dragging and dropping the . 7z archive onto the main window of Mod Manager. Click the button to import the mod, then select the mod on the left, then press Apply Mod. You will be asked to select which preset color you want to install; you can only select one option. The default option is Vanilla+, which makes the outer eye of the drone light blue.

That's it, the mod is installed! You don't have to do anything else. Let me know if you have any feedback, and enjoy!

Known Issues:

[*]Presently, Tali's combat drone (Chatika) will assume the colors of Shepard's combat drone. This is unintentional and I am working on a fix. It's an interesting issue: it's as if Tali's drone doesn't read the color values of her own file. Her file could tell her drone to be bright white and it'd still be default orange. If the modded .pcc of this mod is loaded, it will assume Shepard's drone colors instead. Once I can figure this out, I will also be releasing a version of the mod that restores her drone's pink appearance from ME2. However, I won't have much time to work on this until early August, so unfortunately this bug will persist for some time.[/font
