Just out of curiosity have you thought of using the UDK to create new cutscenes?
Also I’d love to be able to help out in some way. I’ve got experience with animation and basic modelling in Maya and could also help out with any texture work needed. Also I may be able to help out with SFX you were talking about in previous posts.

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

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).

Well, models can be used right from the game (if they're decent enough, of course), but creating new ships and such could work. Hey, since we're at it, we definitely could use some Batarian ships or a set of Salarian Dreadnaughts

However, that's the "hard work" part. First of all, creating a highly detailed model can take several weeks. Then you need to create at least one or two lower detailed models from the very same ship for mass scenes, otherwise even a cutting edge PC won't be able to render full scale battle scenes with dozens of ships on screen.
Also you need to do some draft scenes first to check out timing, animations etc - all without textures or high poly models, just for testing purposes.

Once you're done with that, you can start creating the final scenes including lightning and simple SFX. More advanced SFX need to be added post-production - at least that's what I know. I can't do it

From the very first model till the final battle scene of maybe 5 seconds you can say it may take 3 months. With models done already and "just" doing the scene itself, it's still a month, depending on how much stuff you need, rendering power and time of the guy who's doing it.

Just saying from my experience

[MrFob]

Wow, ok, looks like there might be a couple of people interested in helping with that, which is great.
As I said, I'd be the wrong guy to coordinate this though because I have no experience in that field.

@ CaptData: Yep, that sounds about like what I would have expected. And I guess that's assuming everyone involved puts a lot of time into it, too. Well, the good thing is that there is no rush and that it would be an addition that can be added at any time without compromising the time frame of other things like bugfixing, etc. Might be worth forming a second project for it if people are serious. I would be glad to help in any way I can (and of course to put the results in the game ).

Fob i forgot to mention this last night, but "An End Once and For All" played when i got the very low ems endings, and the 1750 Ems ending. I'm assuming that's because my ems was low, and that if you get the very high ems, you get the more epic sounding "Suicide Mission" as the music. I'm assuming this is the case as i believe there's nothing wrong on my end, but i'll know once i complete my real playthrough (which won't be for awhile).

I do like that even with this mod there's still different degrees of success in the ending, so we still have reason to gather a lot of war assets.

[MrFob]

That is very interesting Mdoggy, I actually wanted to send you am PM yesterday and ask about the music but I forgot. Thanks.

[Mathias]

My pleasure. Btw i'm gonna download From Ashes soon. Once that's installed will i have to replace all the files with the mod again?

[Lyncoln-Ap]

MrFob I've been looking for your answer for days just to notice you have already answered way before, :-)
Am I the only who thinks that Shepard appearing beaten up during the memorial scene is very adequate? In your version, the memorial scene seems to take place just a few hours after his rescue.
Also, while I am not a hater of the original endings, nor of the starkid, I have to say: the memorial scene with shepard present in the destroy ending would have made me much more happy with the original ending... Amazing! I am not familiar with modding the game like this, but I suppose that scene took a lot of work. Congratulations for your work. And I am eager to see whether my suggestions on the score will fit.

I have absolutely no relevant skills, so I'll just play team cheerleader and blab about the mod wherever I can

I am amazed of how dedicated this fan-base is. When this game first came out you guys raised $80,000 towards charity for a different ending. This brought about the Extended cut DLC. And seeing what Mr.Fob and friends made here shows that this fan-base is very passionate about the Mass Effect series. Imagine if the same amount of dedication went towards something in real life like world piece or even towards making the world of Mass Effect a reality towards investment in space travel. The possibilities are endless. You guys truly reflect what the Mass effect series is. Different people coming together be they trolls or they be motivators. You all came together and made your own Crucible. You took the endings in to your own hands and shaped a conclusion worthy of your eyes.All I can say is never give up, and hold the line from Mass Effect 3 and into the future.

Okay, now I've had a chance to download and play the mod with a few of my Shepherds. My custom Shep hugged Tali with minor clipping (I've seen worse in the unmodded game.) I also did my custom Femshep (I found sad Kaidan almost as amusing as sad Garrus, but hey, Kaidan probably would be pretty sad at Anderson's death.)

I seem to be having a problem with another custom Shepherd (Liara romance), however. Everything's fine until Shepherd passes out. The Citadel starts to open, the screen goes black, Suicide Run starts to play, then stops, and the game freezes.

The only difference I can see is that this Sheperd I played Leviathan with. I downloaded the Leviathan fix before I played any of these, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I'll try to download it again, but if anybody has any other ideas, let me know.

[MrChowderClam]

Holy crap, this sounds incredible - re-installing ME3 to try this out :3

[MrFob]

#Mdoggy: Probably. I guess the DLC files should be fine. Maybe it's enough to just replace the files in the main game folder. I am not sure though, you might have to do a complete reinstall as well.

@Lyncoln-Ap: I had a look at the armor and bloody face issue yesterday night. Can't say anything for sure yet but I think it might end up being an armor only replacement, i.e. bloody face with Shep in uniform/casual wear ... if it works out. Didn't really have time yet to go into the music issue.

@Sable: Cheerleaders are always good to have around .

@Isz Niv: I am afraid, world peace is still in alpha stage . Nice post btw, I appreciate the sentiment.

@Honorable Ensign: from what you say, my guess is that the problem is not Leviathan but that the game updated through Origin between your different playthroughs. When the game updates, it overrides some of the changed files with the originals. If that happens with the videos, the timing doesn't fit anymore and the game crashes. Reinstalling should take care of it. Just as with Mdoggy, it might be enough to only reinstall the files in the main game folder but to be on the safe side, I recommend a complete reinstall.

@Lyncoln-AP

I agree on the battered look. It seemed fitting that Shepherd would be nursing burn scars and bruising after getting so beat up. While some of it would be cleaned up, I kinda handwaved it away as livid injuries covered in burn gels and the like. It would look much odder if he was totally clean.

Not a big issue though, as anything is better than the damaged torso scene!

No, I completely agree, and hope that there will be a version where the ruined uniform stays.  It fits the scene well.

Hi MrFob. I have been messing around with PCConsoleTOC.bin and replacing some ingame textures.
Which lines (file sizes) are edited in your mod's PCConsoleTOC.bin (the one in D:\\Games\\Mass Effect 3\\BIOGame). Thanks

In the main game, it's only End02_Cit_Flower.bik. Nothing else. In the DLC_CON_END it's a few files but it sounds like you don't need that. I can look it up if anyone needs the info.

Agreed, but I think Shepard would certainly get rid of the armor. The face textures have to stay, but wearing a casual outfit would be perfect.

[Alienmorph]

Ruined face stays, but as I said again, I think that the best for the body would be Shepard's formal Alliance uniform: I'd give to the whole scene an extra feeling of militar ceremony and unlike the others non-battle outfits it covers his arms and chest too, avoiding the silly effect of a scarred face over a nice and clean body.

Thank you soo much for this Mr. Fob for what is worth you have my profound respect for dedicating yourself at making ME3 playable again for me. This is my canon ending.

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.

No I just used some other advise you gave in here to replace some files because my ME 3 got updated right after the changes. And translations are not really needed right now I think, because all people who know about MEHEM are good enough at english anyway to use it with english settings^^

Just take your time and polish what you have right now, translation can wait till the end or you or your helpers are bored 

But if you do that some day, just let me know, and I would provide my help with translation in proper german as an native german. Would be the least I could do besides cheering for you 

[Lyncoln-Ap]

Shepard would really get rid at least of the armor. Mr. Fob, what about you using my version of the dress blues to replace his damaged armor? If you're interested, it is in this link http://www.mediafire...p7p3p621m3v1mk1 or I could send you a brand new version. I would love to help with this project, even if not more than just a bit.

Very impressive mod, although it doesn't really do anything for me.

(I don't think any kind of editing of the final moments of the game can fix the logical issues that piled up throughout the entirety of the experience... so I'll stick with my Extended Cut blue ending.)

I find it just a bit interesting that not one person from Bioware has commented on this.

[Emphyr]

Here is the customized Femshep version with Traynor as LI.



I never made a vid capture before so i had to learn about fraps , converting and uploading to Youtube.

I captured the complete ending started at my last save on earth. Will upload later.
Again Many Many Many thanks to MrFob for creating this! Its my Canon ending now!

Hurray Nicole Shepard level 55 Adept Lives! and can continue to explore the mass effect Universe in The Normandy.

This is so so Good!

Now i have to sleep i had nightshift and planned to go to sleep 5 hours ago

Edit: I played on highest settings , captured with Fraps and converted the vid with a freeware program.. The quality is not good. If i see the fraps Avi that is wonderfll so i have to find a way to improve the quality on the youtube vid i just uploaded.... But ill look at that later.. i really need sleep now.

Regards from The Netherlands ( Europe)
