- Changelogs
I've added the following sets:
- Blood Dragon: Recolored to have a blue dragon and purple lights. Helmet and armor have been separated and refitted.
- Hahne-Kedar: Recolored to be blue and removed the N7 symbol, as well as an added blue and black scarf. (MEA asset)
- Samara's Armor: The black version of my Samara's Armor for Shepard refits plus a breather. AS OF UPDATE 2.1 THIS ARMOR IS NOW OPTIONAL! CHOOSE ON MOD INSTALL IF YOU WANT TO ADD IT TO HIS ARMORY!
UPDATE 2.7: ONE NEW ARMOR!
- Infiltrator Armor: A masculine refit of Ashley's From Ashes armor, including a matching full-face helmet. I've also recently given it to Male Shepard in Cleric's Armors for Male Shepard (LE3)
- Mercenary "Talon" Armor: After adding this armor to Zaeed Massani's Armory (LE2), I decided to also give it to Kaidan, but recolored to be blue and with the helmet that came with the set. Originally an armor that the Talon mercs can wear in Omega DLC
UPDATE 2.5: ONE NEW ARMOR!
- Armax Arsenal: Using the ME3 part armors, I created a custom Alliance themed Armax set for Kaidan to wear, along with the Death Mask helmet with the N7 details removed.
UPDATE 2.4: TWO NEW ARMORS!
- Spectre Kestral: Using the ME2/ME3 part armors, I created a custom Spectre styled Kestral set for Kaidan to wear, along with the Death Mask helmet with N7 details removed.
- LE1 Hidden: Uses the "hidden"/console command only armors from Mass Effect 1 and creates a custom tinted armor and helmet for him based on his old Onyx armor color scheme.
UPDATE 2.3: TWO NEW ARMORS!
- Spectre Slayer: Kai Leng's Armor and Helm recolored and retextured to be a blue Spectre theme.
- Zaeed's Armor: Armor has been edited to remove the exposed arm and colored blue to match Kaidan's blue theme. Zaeed's helm has also been ported with a recreation of the eye material thanks to MorningAngel's Alpha Transparency Materials.
- Reckoner Knight: Recolored to be a dark blue with dark gunmetal grey accents. Helmet and Armor have been separated and refitted.
UPDATE 2.1: ONE NEW ARMOR!
- Inferno: Recolored to be a dark blue with blue lighting. Helmet and armor have been separated and refitted.
- Samara's Armor is now optional: If you want it (or not) be sure to choose on installation!
UPDATE 2.0 TWO NEW ARMORS!
- Terminus: Recolored to be a dark blue with blue lighting. Helmet and armor have been separated and refitted.
- Spectre Asymmetrical: Recolored and retextured the "asymmetrical" N7 armor parts to make a "slim fit" version of his default armor with a Spectre theme.
These are NOT REPLACERS. They are ADDITIONS. So, you'll be able to switch between the vanilla armor sets and my armor sets with no problems. You will also be able to use mods that add other armor sets to him as well without any issues.
COMPATIBILITY:
A patch is included for Kaidan Alenko Overhaul. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE THAT MOD INSTALLED FIRST IN ORDER TO CHOOSE THE PATCH OPTION.
NOTE:
I DO NOT TAKE MODDING REQUESTS. PERIOD. I WILL LINK YOU BACK TO MY DESCRIPTION IF YOU ASK.
I only made one set of renders for his squad images, so even if you chose the no patches/vanilla option, he will be shown as having the hair from Kaidan Alenko Overhaul. In game, he will have his vanilla hair/head.
REQUIREMENTS:
None
KNOWN ISSUES:
Potentially some neck clipping on some of the armors. I've already resized and refitted them slightly so they would better fit his neck, but clipping might still occur.
INSTALLATION:
Install with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. You may download the mod through the mod manager option or manually drag the file onto the mod manager after downloading. Choose the IMPORT option when prompted. I DO NOT support manual installation.
UNINSTALLATION:
Simply either choose the disable or delete option in the Manage Target tab. Delete removes it from the game installation completely, while disable keeps the mod installed, but unable to be read by the game.
CREDITS:
This mod will not be possible without the Legendary Explorer toolset by the ME3Tweaks Tool Devs.
Thank you to MentalHygiene for providing patching permissions for Kaidan Alenko Overhaul and for providing blender and photoshop files that made making his squadmate images a breeze!
