Knowledge Database article of Mass Effect 2 Hacking and Modding has been written.
This article includes all the tools (downloads) and details needed to hack and mod me2
i strongly recommend reading that article, instead of this thread, if you have questions after you have read the article, come back here and ask
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If you do not know how to hack games on basic level and use memory tools, then read my Knowledge Database articles. search for simple things like "unlimited ammo hack" or "basic game hacking"
additionally you can look here:
> How to hack / get unlimited ammo in single player games
> Basic game hacking tutorial & Toolz for it
> Video demonstration of weird hacks and unlimited ammo
use any good memory tool (im using Tsearch) and simply search for the values you have.
1. Probes: use 4byte search - you can not have over the limit, if you want to have more without freezing them, then you need to find the max amount of probes and increas that.
2. Fuel: little bit trickier than normal search. you have to use Float type.
- if you have 300 fuel, then search "Float - range - 299-301"
- now fly lil bit. lets say you have 250 left now. search for "Float - range - 249-251"
- get the point ? you can not search for exact. if you have 900, then most likely it is 900.39232. something like this. so you would have to do 899 - 901 to get the right address.
3. Credits: use 4byte search - same, you can change it to whatever you want.
> 4bytes is just easier to use, because on 1 byte there are way more results (or 2 bytes..etc). game allocates 4 bytes to those values anyway, so 4 bytes will reduce the time and effort.
4. Editing files > unlimited ammo, costumes ..etc < extract anywhere, but keep content in same folder. follow the instructions in the tool.
5. Unlimited ammo for weapons that mod does not change, such as DLC new weapons
- go into your ME2 folder
- search for "BIOWeapon.ini
- open all of them in notepad++ (NOT normal notepad)
- either change
"bInfiniteAmmo=false" to "bInfiniteAmmo=true"
- or add this line into each of those files, where it does not exist
- here's example of the file, where this line has been added manually
- click on "save all" to save them and then close notepad++
6. Weapon Customizing
This includes all the weapon stats
use the mod tool that i included and open "Coalesced.ini"
there you will find all the weapon stats, but its a mess. for example weapon names cannot be searched.
- here's how to find snipers
- in the "only show entries containing xxxxxxxx in path" write "sniper"
- in the "in data values" write the base damage of a sniper, here's the list:
- google for "mass effect 2 weapon list" or something like that or "mass effect 2 faq" to find the full weapon lists, with damage and all. that makes editing much more easier.
- if you have non legal copy with DLC, you have to run the patch (dlc crack) again or game will give error that could not validate DLC
If you want resources, then simply search for them, im sure it will work just like credits.
ammo should also work fine.
What im really after, is the unlimited stealth (tactical cloak - all powers). i took a quick look, but found nothing. game is too interesting to put more time into hacking :)
