Little wall of text ahead.

First i wanted to thank MrFob for the awesome mod.
I just finished the game with MEHEM installed and it was incredible (i don't think i could stand to see once again the Original Extended Cut Destroy Ending, the Starchild, the sad memorial scene and the mind-blowing "breath scene").
I play the Italian version of the game, but i can say it works pretty well (i gladly overcome the fact that suddently Joker and EDI speak in english, just to see my Shepard reunited with Tali XD). But i noticed two strange bugs with the audio. I think they are related to the fact that i'm playing the Italian version and the way in which the files should be overwritten by the mod:
1 - After Anderson's death, it is still Hackett the one who contacts Shepard on the radio, instead of Joker (i'm basically still listening to the original, Italian dialogue in which Hackett says the Crucible isn't working... just to contradict himself in the very next cutscene, where he says, in English, that the Crucible is now fully operational XD It was a bit funny)
2 - During the memorial scene, i'm still getting EDI speaking about her being "alive" thanks to Shepard (i know that the memorial scene used is the Sinthesys one, maybe it is related to that). Althought it fitted the scene in that which i could define as a "good" way, is there a way to fix it? I mean: EDI doesn't talk directly about Shepard's sacrifice, and her thanking him and remembering him can easily be referred to the help he gave her every time in developing human feelings during the game, but i would prefer her just to shut up and let me enjoy my reunion scene.

Warning: possible DLC Citadel spoilers ahead.
After the credits, i reloaded a savegame right before the party in Shepard's Apartment (printing in my head a "2 Years Later" banner during the Loading screen XD), and i played until the end of the DLC.
It felt really good.
Of course there should be a bit of work to do in the dialogues when they mention the war (especially when calling the taxi to return on the Normandy and immediately after, during the "dock" scene), but that would be really the perfect post-ending for the Trilogy.
A true bitterSWEET ending.

PS: I've just a question though: how does the "Legend" savegame actually "recognize" the MEHEM ending? Synthesys or Destroy? Would it be recognized as Destroy by importing it in a theorical ME4 (or just to start ME3 all over again)? Or as Synthesys? (I know ME4 won't follow this Storyline, and i know that re-importing it in ME3 doesn't affect anything, but it's a curiosity of mine)
Thanks for the answer, and keep up the good work.

@iakus and aeryn333: I think the fact that Jack/Miri don't have slides in the destroy ending if they are not LIs is a bug in the original game. The files for them are still set up but it seems they are skipped.I plan to try and fix this for v0.4. I think it shouldn't be too difficult but it maight yet turn out to cause problems because of the timing of the slides. We'll see.

@Mr.House: Make sure you overwrite the old byte and don't insert a new one. Once you are done with the editing, the 60 should be gone and the 51 should be in it's place. The next byte after the 51 should be 00. Also, which HEX editor do you use?

@thatdude90210: Wow, this sounds really strange and rather complicated. I'll have to have a closer look at this. May take some time to fix it. I'll let you know as soon as I come up with a solution. Did you femshep romance anyone in ME1 or 2 and just didn't rekindle in ME3 or did she never romance anyone? If you have Gibbet installed, can you have a quick look at your save and make sure non of the romances are checked? Thanks.

@Alex101Crusader: Yep, these audio bugs are due to the international version. During the cutscnes when you here the english voices, the audio is encoded directly with the video -> All languages get the same audio. During the in game scenes (like the Joker-Shep dialogue and the memorial) the game uses it's own sound files which are language specific. I just modified the international/English ones (the ones which are called XYZ_LOC_INT.afc). Your version uses the Italian ones (they are called XYZ_LOC_ITA.afc) so it's still playing the old sounds. Once the mod approaches finalization, we may make versions for other languages but as long as significant changes may yet occur, I don't want people to do all the work, just to have to change things later on.

I use HxD hex, but it's been ages since I used it(last time I used it was when 0.02 came out and I healed my scars) How do I overwrite an exsisting bit?

I would like to say once again to everyone, Thank You.

This minute marks the one year anniversary of being told I had beaten Mass Effect 3. I still remember the confusion, panic, and eventual despair. It is an understatement to say that the past year was very difficult for me. I don't think the person I was one year ago survived it.

Maybe I'm crazy for letting anything, let alone a video game, affect me so much. If that's the case, so be it. The fact remains that I love Mass Effect and I am grateful.

Grateful that I am not the only one. Grateful that others understand that Mass Effect is not "just a game". For all you others who know that Mass Effect was and still is worth fighting for.

Above all, thank you for MEHEM. Thank you for giving my Shepard the chance to live. More importantly, thank you for letting my Shepard be proud of all the choices made along the way. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see, to play, and to experience the ending Shepard and I fought for. Thank you for letting us hear Anderson say "You did good" and actually believe him.

So here I am, one year later, crying again after being overwhelmed with emotion.
Thank you for making it this time around, a happy ending.

It's basically a trilogy playthrough that didn't do any romances. And I double check with Gibbed save editor and there was no checkmarks on any romance boxes in ME1, 2, or 3.

Thanks Mr. Winters for sharing.

It's hard to believe it's been a year. My own "anniversary" is coming up in a few weeks.


Thankfully like you we can celebrate rather than mourn.


@MrFob/MEHEM team

Watched the new version ingame with my Male/Jack LI Shep and my Female Shep/Liara LI.
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
All the changes from the shuttle to the Alliance armor to the Bailey/Aria slide to the Jack LI slide was amazing.

After watching this I am amazed at the talent of you'all and am excited to see how you can improve upon this with .4, cuz its darn near perfect.


Thank you also for listing me in the Stargazer "credits" (very clever by the way). It's an honor and glad I could help in my small way.

Hello people,

Most important for me about Mehem is .... YES i can play again Me1 and 2 and 3.

Bioware did give me ME. I am a SF lover...I love this game and the ME Universe.
i also am deeply in love with the galaxy that Star Control gave me.

(There is an HD Mod out there!)

about Mehem : For me most important in the game is ........

No Starchild , No 3 colour ending.....My headcanon is the Normandy with all the crew exporing to go were noone has gone before.

I Love ME
I hate ME endings created as it was done by Bioware.
I like Mehem...

Mehem gives me the opportunity to go on as commander Shepard!
To go were nobody has been before ( Yagh?) (Nuhams) ?

About the topics created here on BW attacking Mehem i still dont understand why the attacks are created.

I still do not understand why ppl that dont like Mehem are attacking.

Take Care.

Hey! I just started again playing ........ Star Control 2 (The Urquan Masters)

I just contacted the Earth Commander... and i told him i am Commander Shepard

I Hope Fwiffo will regognize me also  ( Lol)

Thank you so much for this, I have no words, it's so lovely!

[MrFob]

@Mr.House: Hm, HxD should automatically overwrite so it should have been fine. I don't get it. I just rechecked it on my end and it's all correct. Can you check on your side again?
Before you edit, the relevant line should look like this:
00 00 60 00 00 00 97 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 3B 07
after your edit the line should look like this
00 00 51 00 00 00 97 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 3B 07
This should work. Please let me know.

@thatdude90210: I need some time for this one. Really strange bug there.

@spamtrash: Thanks, so you used a Jack save and it worked. Hm, if this bug is really random, it might just have been luck. This is not gonna be fun to figure out.

@wwinters99 and the others: Thanks and yea, needless to say I know how you felt about the original endings. My own anniversary for them is coming up exactly one week for now. Here is the thread I created it about 5 minutes after finishing the game (those five minutes were spent pacing up and down in front of my desk and having a strong drink, only posted it the next morning though).

Thanks for your answer. The bold part it's just what i was thinking about it too, and it's something i'm really hoping for.

PS: The international version of the game has an option in the in-game menu to change the language on the fly. I wonder if it will fix the issue temporarily. Maybe by just changing the audio language to English at the very last second. I will try it as soon as i can.

I couldn't agree more with every single word you wrote, those are exactly my thoughts and feelings too. For the very first time since i beat ME3 one year ago, i was now able to face the ending and accept it.

I had avoided all info about Mass Effect 3. Played the game completely blind as to what was to come. I spent those first 5 minutes wondering what I did wrong.

Thanks to MEHEM I don't have to think that anymore.

On a lighter note, now that I've bared my soul, how do you personally pronounce MEHEM?

I pronouce it like:
mayhem [mey-hem] - A state of rowdy disorder

[MrFob]

@Alex101Crusader: Yep, setting the audio language to English should work.

@wwinters99: Me too. It was actually one of the reasons, I went with this acronym in the first place.

[Iakus]

 I pronounce it mayhem as well.

But I think of it as "Reignite Mass Effect"

Matter of marking the byte-section and simply typing in that particular number. Did it myself just now, and yep, clipping is less severe now on my madame Shepard.



Anyway, on the anniversary: finished the game about a year ago as well - I did not go through a phase of "depression" per se, instead was left with an impression that there ought to be more to come. A full-blown expansion-amount of more.

Instead, the devs did whatever they hoped to achieve - whatever that is, leaving me skeptical about their future endeavours in this franchise (loop-holes how they can push forward are there, laid out by themselves; only question is whether they are smart enough to take them). Above all, I am deeply thankful that fans ultimately took on the task of taking care of the finale, culling its greatest offender out of existence and getting the narrative back out of the sinkhole it was dropped in.


I join the others in saying:

Tiefsten Dank, Herr Fob und Team.

And definitely am excited to see more progression on your project. Excitement that the actual developers yet need to earn back on their end.

I have said it previously, and I should mention it again: I am a "fan" of this mod because of it's scope and execution and the amount of joy that it has brought to others who needed "their endings."

This is coming from some one who does NOT prefer the MEHEM mod. I am content with the current flow of the original (and EC) ending and the overall take from it. However, I can still greatly appreciate MrFob's (and now legion of followers and helpers) efforts in this mod.

I still look forward to the improvements that are made throughout the next version and beyond.

Agree wholeheartily! MrFob and team on this thread have my undying thanks for saving my favorite gaming trilogy. My anniversery is however about 5 months away when I first played the game. I was all set ready to go with my collector's edition when I began hearing the rumblings of the ending and how many people were upset. So, I put off playing it. I then finally decided to play 1, 2 , then 3 in straight fashion hoping that would quell the pit in my stomach.

As everybody said, the first 99% of the game is amazing. Sure it has some game mechanic problems and headscratchers (shepard being a weird evesdropper on the citadel) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Then I get to the ending and was not mad or sad just.....confused. What happened to my crew? What happened to Garrus and Liara who were with me on Earth? Heck, what happened to anybody? Now, with this mod, I have those answers.

Thank you all!

On a side note, I found this other user mod just yesterday and fell in love with it. I don't know if you guys were aware of it, but I thought I share since many of you already have ME3Explorer. Its a mod that alters Shepard's cabin in that the Tali LI picture she gives you is available to you at all times with any character. Using ME3Explorer, you change change the pic to whoever your LI is. Just one more thing to enhance Mass Effect 3, have fun!

Here's a vid of my shepard with LI Miranda picture.



Here's the mod page.

ENOUGH about the citadel DLC gahh wait at least a month then ask after its popular cycle has ended an then its nothing more than SPACE......

I actually just finished the Citadel DLC.  And while I really enjoyed it, I personally don't think it belongs AFTER mehem.  Even if the Citadel hasn't been completely destroyed by the end of the game, it's still a wreck. And I don't think it's a spoiler to say that the Citadel is teeming with life during the Citadel DLC and looking amazing.  Also, there's way too much joy, and the mehem'd ending is bittersweet. (I realize that might sound strange when the title is the HAPPY ENDING mod, but it is what it is).  Another problem is that the Citadel DLC is PREMIUM CONTENT. MEHEM is free to everyone, and Bioware probably wouldn't appreciate giving out "Citadel" scenes for free. It might even lead to the permanent lockdown of MEHEM.

ah good point I didn't think of that

It should. I haven't tested it, but the music files remained the same for the v.02 and v.03, from what I've seen.

Thanks a lot. Great job. It works on the russian version without any problems.

@wavion, very good point about avoiding Citadel DLC content in MEHEM. I'd hate to see this mod get shut down by mods, so I agree it's not a good idea to try and merge Citadel DLC stuff with MEHEM.
