Mass Effect 3 Coalesced.bin tool
February 16th, 2012Here’s a tool for to convert coalesced.bin into an editable (JSON) format (coalesce-*.zip).
It’s a command-line tool but you can drag&drop Coalesced.bin onto Gibbed.MassEffect3.Coalesce.exe to export to JSON (it’ll create a directory called Coalesced). Once you want to repack, simply drag the Coalesced directory onto Gibbed.MassEffect3.Coalesce.exe and it will create Coalesced.bin (overwriting the original if present, back it up!).
Reply if you have any questions, problems, comments, etc.
If you’re less technically inclined, Monochrome Wench has a tool for visually editing data in Coalesced.bin
Steam Achievement Manager 6.3
September 23rd, 2011Changes:

Comment in this post if you’re having issues with the new version.
There has not and will not ever be a virus or trojan in SAM downloads provided through my site, if some random obscure virus scanner picks something up, it’s a false positive.
