Overview

Liara, and others who use alternate textures of the doctor/scientist outfit model, have some gibberish text on their arm patch. I guess the idea is that on a TV you'll never see it close enough to read it... but I'm playing on a PC monitor 3cm from my eyeballs. This weird text received some attention on reddit etc. when LE was new, so I was surprised to not find a mod that replaced it yet (unless I just missed it). This mod aims to tackle it.

Editions

There are three .mem files included in the download. Use one of them.

All three edit Liara's patch to read "X-05, Dr. Liara T'Soni, Lead Researcher" and Dr. Chakwas' patch to read "SR1, Dr. Karin Chakwas, Chief Medical Officer". These were inspired by those in MEUITM; except I chose "Lead Researcher" instead of "Chief Science Officer" for Liara as she's wearing this outfit already when you first meet her (and I added Chakwas' first name). Also, for characters besides these two, all three change the smaller text to random numbers - equally meaningless to vanilla's gibberish, but less obviously, IMO.

The differences are:

• "Z-19 edition" changes the large text on the generic NPC versions of the outfit from X-05 to Z-19 so it's distinct from Liara's. The choice of letter and number was arbitrary; I just wanted something with a similar 'vibe' to X-05. (It'd be nice to be able to have a variety, but unfortunately pretty much all NPCs besides Liara and Chakwas use the same texture - well, there are separate M and F textures, but I think having only 2 variations would be more noticeable than having only 1).
• "X-05 edition" keeps X-05 as the large text for both generic NPCs and Liara, as in vanilla.
• "Blank edition" removes all text from the patches of generic NPCs.
  

Compatibility

In the optional files are patches for the Blue Archaeologist ME1 mod in MoonkissedAgara's Liara's Wardrobe and the Dr. Chawkwas Alliance Uniform mod in munchyfly's NPC Edits (LE1). Install either (or both) of those mods, then install this mod, and then install the appropriate patch(es). The patches are compatible with each other; no need for a combined patch or anything.

This is just a texture mod. It alters:

• HMF_ARM_CTHh_Tnt_Diff_0x00C0677F
• HMF_ARM_CTHh_Doc_Diff_Stack_0xA34AFB31
• HMF_ARM_CTHh_Doc_SPwr_Stack_0x7A778B4B
• HMF_ARM_CTHh_Liara_Diff_0xFA4474B5
• HMF_ARM_CTHh_Liara_Spec_0xD83A0D54
• HMF_ARM_CTHh_Nor_Diff_Stack_0x104A0CFC
• HMM_ARM_CTHh_Tnt_Diff_0x329A40E5
  

ALOT for LE1 and LEUITM don't touch these, but something else might.

Extras

In the miscellaneous files you can find a PSD template I used, if you'd like to create your own variants. It makes use of this font. Double click on any of the text layers to open the smart object, where you can edit the text directly. Or, let me know if you have a good idea for another variant and I might do it.

Also, in the old files is the original version 1 of this mod, which removed the gibberish entirely and shifted the existing big text down. It looked pretty clunky, and I forgot to include the male generic texture, so I don't recommend you use it.
