IHJ, is that your voice in the vid? I love what you're doing, but that voice really *really* needs re-recording with an attempt at serious tone; it currently sounds like a Spanish Pee-Wee Herman. I hope that's constructive - I'd hate the audience to feel it's just another cheesy fan-creation when you've taken it so much further than that.

[d1ta]

@IHJ: oy, you're seriously doing this? Wow. Pretty.awsome, man.

Anyho, I love the vid (really do), so.. Nothing from me here.

And my 2 cents are.. :

1. Maybe use lesser text (less wording, and somehow the word 'anonymous heroes' doesn't seem to fit. Because we all know that's an Alliance ship and every single one out there are defending the crucible to the death. I just feel the emphasis using text isn't really needed, IMHO)

2. The VO. I think you could use someone with a firm and grim heavy voice. One that makes you think that this dude is battlehardened and knowing fully that his next command might mean the death of him and his entire crew. And again, I prefer shorter sentence here. Maybe giving a direct command to block Harbringer's path? Or a simple 'hold the line'?

Well, that's that.. Will be waiting for your next update IHJ . XD

[Ironhandjustice]

Well, a general response =)

I think I will make a less-text version for the trailer.

About the voice, is part of a speech, about 5/6, that starts with another tone. I mean, it gets loud when the speech rises.

Well, I'll make an update soon with the video. This morning I'll be working on something else

Oh, and I didn't respond. Yup, is my voice.

Hi everybody. I have the ME3 Digital Deluxe edition, Leviathan, Extended Cut, Citadel, Omega and from Ashes. I intend to install and use the Happy Ending Mod, but I've read a fair bit lately on this thread that urges us to make backups of Mass Effect 3 and the various DLC related to it. I'm really not very computer literate. Can anybody give me instructions as to what exactly I should save and where it is located on a pc after a normal installation?

[MrFob]

Hi UpcastCoderTim, if you use the installer for v0.3 of MEHEM, it will back up your original files automatically and it also comes with an uninstaller which will restore your backups if you want to go back to the original endings (courtesy of wavion). Just make sure you have a few extra GB (I think you need about 7) on the hard drive where ME3 is installed.
The warning about backups is mainly for people who want to do manual changes or want to use MEHEM with other mods but if you just use the installer you are fine.

[UpcastCoderTim]

Thanks Mr Fob. I will proceed with installation. And thank you for all the work you have put into this ending mod. Very, very much appreciated.

@IHJ: Hey man, just a suggestion, since it seems to me that you're making a trailer about Harbringer's end on the next MEHEM version (? Is this correct? Can you correct me if I'm wrong?) maybe you can just put a text at the beginning : The fall of Harbringer
After the trailer ends: Soon, in the next MEHEM version / Soon available for download.

Or something along those lines. Keep it at minimal to keep the suspense there and leave enough room as how you want to make it =)

Just my 0.02 creds.. XD keep up the.awsome.work

Yes, the idea is to make an animation from scrap using the UDK, the BW base engine.

This animation will have lots of VA, audio stuff (Cfs3Corsair is doing this), and some (little) surprises. I'm still on dev phase (at last three scenes missing) of part 3, but is very advanced on animation terms. Im working on some addins to make it more realistic, as first plain firing rounds and fighter incursions.

After, there will be a debug phase and a improvement phase =)

So, my part is right now at a final alpha status. I don't know if it will be available for the next version, as requires a hard integration with MEHEM in addition to our development, so it will take time to see it complete.

For example, in the trailer, the reaper lighting is excesive. This has been corrected right now, but there are tons of problems that should be fixed before the release. But don't worry, I'll keep it alive as long as needed to achieve an acceptable result =)

Thanks for the interest.

[creapsmantic]

anybody have any custom arts for Reapers with there Hulls Broken revealing some of the actual harvested species

cause this could be used as a texture

i am prety good at makeing Music sound  Better   so   if   you would like my help with  that  i can

Modifié par creapsmantic, 23 juillet 2013 - 09:14 .

[Ironhandjustice]

@Creapsmantic.

At my end, I think it won't be possible. The broken reapers are models I have currently modified, and I can tell you that sadly, they cannot sustain a closeup in order to record to this level detail, sorry.

About help, thanks. I will call you if we need additional help =)

@VAs. This two sentences are still available. I remember that we spoke some time ago about remaining voices. Any volunteers?

-SSV Magdeburg: "SSV Magdeburg reporting. Thannix is ready!"
-"Flanking on the way!"

@CommandBenX
Do you think is possible to emulate a Turian voice with your effects?

We miss a "For Palaven!" Turian radio voice as well =)

Hey everyone, just a little heads up on v0.4.
Bad news first, it may be a little delayed.
Good new: After seeing the power and incredible potential of UDK for this project in IHJs videos, I decided to have a look at it. I just downloaded it 2 days ago and I don't have a lot of time per day to check it out, so it will take me some time to get things sorted in there but I definitely plan to improve the videos with it as much as I can. The things I want to do are not nearly as grand in scale as what IHJ does but I think I can make some very nice short scenes to enhance what we have so far take out some of the imperfect stuff and replace it with much better scenes.

At least I hope that's what I can do, as I said, I am just starting out on this.

So yea, sorry it will take a little more time but as a consolation (and maybe a bit of a teaser), here are two screenshots of renders I whipped up tonight.





Keep in mind, this is just initial research, I wouldn't even call it WIP but it took only about 45 minutes to make, so I really want to see what's possible in a couple of weeks.

Don't get mad at me for delaying please but I got to say, I am rather excited.

@Julia: Just a pre-emptive "No cause for alarm" to Julia, I am not planning on changing the timing of the videos anymore, just want to replace some scenes with similar ones.

When you have the time, I must ask you how to make this engine effect ^.^

[MrFob]

At the moment, it's just an emissive texture with a multiplier that cranks it up to 10000x or so.

The disadvantage of this is that it doesn't produce enough glow to be seen from the front, probably need some sort of particle emitter for that.

[Ironhandjustice]

Oh, ok. I have an effect for this. On the future, when we do texture improvement for the project, we can borrow this texture and mix it with my current texture files to extend the effect to all the ships...

It will be interesting

MrFob, given how much you've managed to accomplish, first on your own, then with a little help, i'm pretty damn sure any one who cares about MEHEM in the slightest, will not begrudge you taking all the time you need to turn out v0.4.

Those of us mere mortals who don't have a clue how you do these things, will patiently wait while you get to grips with what needs to be done and move yet another mountain. You have my respect & quiet admiration, as do all the other folk who have pitched in to help in what ever way they can.

It's times like this there really needs to be a doff cap emoticon dammit!.

Um... wow MrFob, that only took you 45 min?! Between you and IHJ, have great excitement for v0.4! No worries on it being late... my sound editing won't be finished any time soon either
Now a little update on my sound editing.
It is hard to find sounds for some things to say the least. However, I am slogging through the best I can. Still... glad I have fraps. And other junk. Going to provide a major update to you IHJ when I can

[cfs3corsair]

Reaper engine noises... need those. If anyone can show me even a 3 second clip on youtube where I might find a consistent reaper engine, would be much appreciated. Will go in game and extract it then

[Iakus]

Don't have a link atm, but if you can find some Eden Prime videos, there's probably something when Sovereign takes off

Is there any way to just outright remove the Stargazer scene? Between EC and this mod, it seems extremely out of place.

Absolutely this. Good Sir, you don't have to apologize for anything.  Thanks to your determination and vision you have made ME3 worth playing again and again.

Good things are worth waiting for. v0.4 is certainly one of them.

I know how to do it with 3Ds max but I don't think that would work for this.  I've done it using a directional fog light effect with shadow casting turned on.  Things I wouldn't imagine one has in whatever that program is that FOB discovered.

[MrFob]

Thanks guys, appreciate you understand. I want to post some more regular updates as I go along. Cool thing with UDK is, you can make pretty pictures while working, unlike when you mod sequences.

cfs3corsair wrote ...

Yea, I was surprised as well (hence my excitement). That said, keep in mind that this is just a model, standing still so far. As long as things aren't moving, you can do great stuff with the lighting. Once things get moving, they get more complicated. It's one reason, why I intend to keep the scenes I want to make short and specific. Lighting seems to be key for things to look good and I want to keep pretty tight control over it as I go along.
Also, of course, this is just a model I extracted from ME3 and modified slightly to give it the engine effect and the emissive windows. So - just like with anything to do with MEHEM - this is recycling BioWare's work, not anything original. Fortunately, BW put their cinematic model for the Normandy into the Extended Cut DLC (turns out the very flawed evacuation scene was good for something after all ).

@DaftArbiter: Check the customisation thread (linked in the OP). Instructions can be found in there.

@BDelacroix: The UDK has these options as far as I can tell and I think they are on by default. The emissive tecture I use is basically a light source although this model of the Normandy is a skeletal mesh and I don't know how to set the settings on emissives on skeletal meshes yet (static meshes I found but not skeletals). Anyway, I am thinking of making a more technical thread about UDK stuff in the MEHEM section of the ME3Explorer forums, so not to clot up this thread with too much technobabble. I'll link it when I got it.

Just wanted to pop in a quick thanks for making this mod. I ran it for the first time a couple weeks ago but I think I may have a slight bug. Miranda was my romance but I didn't get the altered slide showing the Normandy in the sky where she is looking up. It might be my game however, since I also didn't get an e'mail from her to meet up in the Presidium Commons (could still do the meeting though). Anyone else have this issue?
