Also CptData brought up a good point. There are some people who've gotten quite good at gifs and animations for ME3.
ladyxinsanity is the best example i can think of:


That's the one. She's no professional, but she has a lot of skill. I can't see a good reason why -not- asking her for support for some extra snippets?

Space battles are a bit easier to do, so you don't really need to use snippets from ME2 Suicide Mission. =)

@Lyncoln-Ap: Interesting suggestion for the first part, I'll have to try that out. As for the second part, I tried the old score and I really didn't like how it went with the new scenes. It just didn't fit anymore IMO. The SM track is of course very distinct to ME2 which is its greatest disadvantage. I am open for new music but it would have to be a really perfect fit. Not sure which one that would be though.


Sir, Captain, sir, (lol), I have a better solution then: why not replace "suicide misson" with the following combination:

1) Right after the "pause": aralahk company (starting at 2:10min) until the end of it;
2) Right after the end of Aralahk Company, which should coincides with the crucible starting the explosion plays "A future for the Krogan" (from the very beginning) and plays until the ending of the song... (this way, the first "turn" on the song will coincide with the first reaper falling on earth, and the effect is  amusing!) :-)
3) Remains silent until the beginning of hackett narration and, following it, the music stays as it is in the current version.

Hope you find the results good enough to replace the current music, because "Suicide Mission" despite being great is too mass effect 2...

Amazing, I won't use it for now, but if Bioware really does not improve the ending, and fulfil their twitter promise (that I would want to keep my copy of Mass Effect 3 forever, because I just HAVE TO because of Origin), I will use this. I hope you improve it further and give Mass Effect 3 the ending it deserves.

The only thing I don't really like is how your EMS no longer matters, but I can see over that.

This mod has so much win. MrFob? I take my hat off to you. And while I won't be using this mod yet, you can definitely count on me getting it in the near future. First I want to see where they are going with their DLC, and if I remain unsatisfied, I shall return, dig this up and use it without a second thought.

But kudos to you, for providing something so many people wanted. Something which people can thoroughly enjoy and something I hope Bioware takes note of. Good work and good luck to you my man!

Yeah it's great, awesome job, but I can't use it.

Miranda is my LI.

If you could one where Miranda is the one giving the hug, that would be perfect.

Put the ME2 crew in there too. Replace everyone except James, Javik, and Garrus. I don't like the ME3 team at all.

Plus I hate the alliance.

Sounds like a hell of a job. Easiest way to do so is to check for a certain LI: if you had a ME2 LI, your ME2 LI should appear and maybe one or two of the standard faces should get replaced by ME2 characters. Could work.

I love the alliance :lol:

I'm gonna make a prediction right now and say that this is probably gonna be the most downloaded mod in the whole game.

Outside of Shep looking like he got run over by a truck while putting up the memorial plate this is pretty damn good


Why? It's just a cheap imitation that is in no way cannonical. I want an ending that is actually aupported by the creators of the franchise. 



without being rude: "dream on"

the devs stated, that the endings are final and not to be changed in the future. this immitation is better for certein fans, than the "real" ending. please respect this.


No. :alien:


But of course, imagination and taking initialtive is banned on this fan creation forum. Gee, why did you even open up this thread.

Hello don´t know if somebody already asked this, but does this mod will work with let´s say the german version for example? Or must I turn the in some manner to english or international?

Because in my case, the mod didn´t seemed to work, because right till the elevator scene it works just as if there is no mod, then right before the elevator activate, the scene switched to the opening of the arms and then the screen goes black an the Game crashes.

So is there any region requirement and if yes, how can I activate it?

Just saw your ending on youtube and I would wish to congratulate you for a well made mod. You did an admirable job considering you had to work within the confines of what was already in the game.

Is it possible to remove the dream sequences? Because they are a total waste of time, or at least turn the kid into someone that actually mattered to Shepard.

the kid on earth did .. i guess the catalyst poked around in sheps head and used the kids image because shepard associated it with pain and suffering.

but yes .. the dream sequences are bad.

One thing that would be nice is to have the last scene with the man and the boy from behind. And just change the sound entirely. let the boy say something like:

-Dad, when will we go to the stars? you promised. (Take any random kid from the streets to say that and record it)
And away back you can hear Liara or whomever you romanced, shouting.
-Shepard! (there are a lot of her shouting that in ME1 through to ME3 so there shouldn't be any problem getting one that fits.
Then the boy says again.
-Moms shouting, we better go in dad.

And the very best of endings is right there. At least for me who romanced Liara. Only problem is for those who played a female Shephard. But that can surely be fixed my some editing. :)

I will buy the pc versions of mass effect, full price, just for this mod. This is the ending Mass Effect needed. It's the one the fanbase demanded, and it's everything I wanted. Good God, I nearly cried when Shepard was hugging Liara in the youtube video. I officially declare this mod the cannon ending to Mass Effect 3 and the Mass Effect trilogy. Bioware can keep their "artistic integrity" ending and shove it right up [insert derogatory statements of Bioware and EA here], this is the REAL ending. The way Mass Effect 3 should have ended.

Finally got some time to play through it.

Given how ME3 modding is in it's absolute infancy, I'm fairly impressed. Unreal engine games are complicated enough with the proper tools, let alone attempting to hack it with third party reverse engineering.

If you ever get some steam (and perhaps a team) going on expanding and polishing things, I'd be happy to provide some slide or other static art. (<- Avatar is personal art sample, and gallery is in sig.) Nothing too fancy, but I'll extend the offer nonetheless.

Kudos.

I wonder, is it possible to add conditionals to these scenes, for the game to check for?

Why I ask is I think it'd be cool if a Renegade Shepard, at the end, has a slightly different animation, or maybe isn't with the group, and the camera cuts away to them doing something else. The sad Shepard placing Anderson's name on the wall works well for a Paragon Shepard, regardless of how you RP Shepard. A Renegade Shepard, I feel, may not particularly care that Anderson died.

Don't know if character or camera placement can be changed, or if you can even check for the Paragon/Renegade variable at that point. But I know it'd be a nice touch for my Shepard, and it'd probably be a nice touch for a lot of other people.


Edit:  also, if you're still interested in collecting people who can video edit - I wouldn't mind piecing shots you give me together, and putting them to music off of the ME3 soundtrack.

You could use the new refuse stargazer ending for FemShep and her LI.  If you want the stargazer to be Shep, that entire sequence will have to be revoiced anyway.

And it works ok with it not being Jen Hale/Mark Meer's voices, because the implication is that it's a much older Shep.

Alright let me say it right away. I know it's hard to change properly, but can't we have something other than the ME2 main theme, and is it possible to get the Faunts song back again? It just doesn't fit ME3's overall darker vibe!

Wow, that looks incredible. It will be tough to come up with something that doesn't look out of place in the game but if we could get scene of the shuttle approaching/leaving the citadel tower, that would be really great. I'll have to look into that.

Yes, the effects are greatly reduced but with low EMS you will not get memorial scene and should seethe low EMS epilogue slides.

That will not be possible for quite a while yet. While we now have Mesh import and export (Yay for the team!), this would require loading the meshes and textures there, placing them in the scene, giving them animations, etc. Right now, I can use what is already there and rearrange it whcih is a lot more feasible. That said, I want to do something with the slides if possible.

Glad it works. I suspect you still get the language glitches like everyone else. The problem you described earlier didn't seem to be language related though. Maybe in the long run we'll make some translations but not for while yet.

Thanks for the offer and great art! Since the plan is to do some stuff with the epilogue slides, static art might come in handy. I'll pm you when things get more solid if that is ok.

Thanks for the offer! Yes, actually, someone with a lot of video editing experience is on top of the list of people I need atm. PM me if you are really interested and I can send you the material I have so far. However, the scenes do also need some reworking and maybe some additions if possible. But in any case, help on this issue is very welcome!

Yeah, I don't really mind the targazer scene because the implication that they are pre-spcaflight is mostly conveyed by the endings themselves, rather than this scene. So, seen in context of the new ending, the Buzz Aldrin phrase "One day my sweet" might as well be taken literally. Besides, It's just the DLC advertisement after the credits so I am not sure if it's worth spending alot of time on, at least as long as more pressing matters are still to be resolved.

Nah, Malukah is gonna stay. However, I plan to post a music import tutorial soon. Than, you do whatever you like with the credit song.
As for the SM track, I know it's got its issues but I haven't found anything better yet.

On the dream sequences: I'll leave them in. First of all, taking out anything that involves gameplay is always pretty hard (getting Shep directly from the elevators to the red ending cutscenes was the hardest part of the current mod). Also, while the kid is sort of annoying, he is not entirely unfitting and the whispers in the dreams are actually pretty cools IMO. I'd really like to exchange the kid in the dream with the Virmire victim in the first one, Mordin in the second one and Thane in the third one (you know, people Shep really has a reason to care about). I don't know how to do that at the moment though, it would introduce it's very own problems and it would be a different project.

I don't know if this would help you at all, but I'd be willing to try my hand at creating some unique "Normandy Flying" video files to replace the ones at the end of Part 2 (Normandy heading to Mars).

Well, with a proper model, could try something similar with 3DSMax. I've got quite some experience in that field, I just lack a proper rig for anything serious: I can animate space battles but can't add SFX - so it's useless :P

Wow, sounds great. If it actually fits within the game, I'd love to have a "new" sequence there.
Btw, great to see you here. Loved your mesh and texture export tutorials (I think they were for ME2 but they still work for ME3 :). Cheers!

Well, maybe there would a way to divide the work, so that one person works on the model, another on animation and yet another on SFX or something. I have to say though, I have absolutely no experience in that field so I don't really know what I am talking about :). In any case, if we could actually create something on par with the game cutscenes, that would be beyond awesome (and way beyond what I ever expected to happen).
