I'm all for getting rid of the Stargazers (with all due respect to Buzz Aldrin, who surely doesn't need a last minute cameo in a videogame to be awesome) but I think that a scene between Shep and hir/her LI would be the best replacement, more than some kind of cheesy party with all the crew. The funeral sequence is a pretty strong "farewell to team Shepard" moment, and I think it should stay the last one where we see them all together.

A scene hinting to the fact that Shepard is going to find durable some peace after all s/he's been through it'd be more appropriate. Still, no uber-cheasy stuffs like marriage scene or so on... somenthing simple but powerful, like having have Tali and him somewhere on Rannoch near their home, or on Illium in Liara's loft, or heading to Palaven with Garrus... and maybe him/her wandering one last times among the remains of the first Normandy, thinking about all it happened in the last years for who doesn't have a playtrought with a romance on.

Just my two cents on the matter. We all want a more satisfying closure, but we should draw a line in order to avoid to fall from satisfactory but still classy into cheesy fanfiction-ish.



and @Pkchu

Simply to be silly. Maybe we could speak to Mr Aldrin's agent. Have a wedding scene where Buzz lends his voice to the space vicar, where he marries Shepard to his or her LI.

I had this issue myself.  After I followed the instructions at me3explorer.freeforums.org/edit-dlc-coalesced-t98.html
I found that the way my system handled the files in question was causing them to mismatch the filesize check.

I'm not saying that this is definitely your issue, but it was what worked for me.

Alternatively (as was suggested to me) repair the install so that the game is back to its original state and reinstall the mod.


Thanks for replying! I tried it out, although I wasn't quite sure what I was doing most of the time, but when I came to the step about editing the filesize, the values were identical. So I think - without having any reasonable knowledge on the subject - that this probably isn't the issue. But I appreciate the link :) I might have a look at it again later if I still can't get it to work.

@Ajensis: Hm, I can only guess. The error you encounter implies that you have a corrupted file in your DLC. Are you sure you applied the main MEHEM mod to DLC_CON END and the Leviathan fix to DLC_EXP_Pack001? Btw, this has nothing to do with where your Shepard is in the game, or if you finished the DLC already. It's a general problem of the DLC authorization process.


I... think so. Pretty sure. But then again, it was fairly late, so who knows :P I can't seem to uninstall Leviathan on its own, though (I even deleted the entire DLC_EXP_Pack001 folder and then chose the repair install option, but Origin just said there were no files missing... :huh:), so now I'm reinstalling the whole game. A bit excessive, perhaps, but after trying out BillyHtchcoc's suggestion, I was utterly confused about what files I had altered :D

Hopefully it'll work after the reinstall. I've been looking forward to trying this mod since the moment I saw this thread... for once end a great game with a decent ending. I could just watch it on youtube, I suppose, but I'd rather experience it the proper way.
Thank you for helping out, by the way. I reckon it must be a bit disorienting to juggle with so many different errors from many different people. I'll let you know if I have better luck at my 2nd attempt. *crosses fingers*

Hmm. Just noticed they didn't send the MEEM thread out of Story Discussion into Fan Creations, even though every thread remotely related to this mod gets moved within a few hours.  

I hope it's not out of touchiness, given how heavily other BioWare games have been modded.

@Ajensis: No problem. In fact, I am surprised that there weren't more reports of errors. I have yet to encounter a problem that is not due to either some wrongly place files or some interactions with other mods so my best guess is that it should work for you. Also, I really recommend backups. It's much easier and quicker than re-downloading the whole thing.
If you just ant to repair DLC however, you can do that in origin. Just go to "show game details", right click on the DLC in question and choose "repair install".
Also, the first thing you should always try before re-installing is just to go all the way through the MEHEM instructions again (like it would be the first time). Unless something really weird happened to screw it up, that should take care of most problems.

@OdaNash0410: Thanks and yes, feedback is always good. Just be sure to install the Leviathan fix if you need it and also the EDI slide hotfix for best results (all links are in the OP).

@Sable: My guess is that they just never saw it because it tends not to stay on the first page for too long :).

Edit:  ^ Yeah, I did make a backup of the files I replaced myself, but not of the ones that were replaced by the DLC Explorer. I couldn't find them this time, however, so I guess they're sort of incorporated into another file, maybe the sfar one... but that's just me guessing.

Thanks for the tip about reinstalling a DLC :) might need it in a few minutes.

Update to my post above: it's still not working. Bugger :(

I followed the instructions to the letter and checked before the Leviathan fix. With the MEHEM alone, I didn't get an error message and could load my most recent save. But with the Leviathan fix, something goes wrong.

This is a completely vanilla Collector's Edition game, reinstalled and up-to-date. *sigh*

It seems so pointless that I can't play a game because Origin thinks I haven't paid for Leviathan (even when the Origin store itself confirms I've purchased it) :?

Edit 2: yeah, it's working again when the Default.sfar file in DLC_EXP_Pack001/CookedPCConsole is reverted back to the unmodded back-up.
I wish I knew more about this modding business... :P don't really know what to do from here.


Edit 4: taken back the request in the 3rd edit, I have a feeling it's not the solution and would just be a waste of time. Maybe it's better I just wait for a new version, possibly after the next DLC is released :) I'll have something to look forward to then... I hope.
Thanks, MrFob, for your attention. If necessary, I'll simply uninstall Leviathan in the future and do a new playthrough. I'll get around to seeing the fruits of your labour eventually :D

Bad day trying to tinker with files for different modifications:

"Unable to authorize Extended Cut DLC."

That feel man, one of the worst feels.

If you had read the thread you would know it is very unlikely an Xbox version will surface. On PC you can at least get limited access to the files whereas that would only be possible on the 360 with some probably less than legal software (Probably run on a hard modded console as well).

Unless the universe turns upside down and Bioware release a creation kit for ME3, best you can do is get someone to record a video for you with your Shep's settings

You can transfer saves from XBox to PC and play the PC version. Otherwise, my heart goes out to you but, sorry.

It does work as I have both, I also installed Levi fix after I installed MEHEM v0.2 and everything works fine.

Can someone tell me which file in MEHEM is the end credits song? I have nothing against Malukah and her excellent song, I just prefer Das Malefitz for the credits and I'd like to switch it back.

Of course I'm hoping it's just a file switch and I don't have to do any pcc/afc file surgery...;)

@Mdoggy: Lev fix should work fine. It works for me and almost everyone I t heard of. The only one who still has problems with it is Ajensis and I have no idea why (we've been working on the issue via pm). But just try it, it should be fine. The order of installation doesn't matter. You are just replacing files so it's not really important which one you replace first. Just make sure you install everything into the right directories/dlcs as per the instructions.

@SerenityRebirth: Sorry but I am afraid, the other who answered you are correct. It would theoretically be possible to reformat the data itself but you'd have to do some very risly modifications to your console to access them. It's not gonna happen in the foreseeable future.

@2112.rush: It's not that easy. In order to change the music you need to modify two files. You also cannot just replace them with the originals since there are changes in these files for the other parts of the mod as well. This means that you'd have to manually mod the msuic back. If you are comfortable with HEX editing, you can do it if you follow my music modding tutorial here.
EDIT: fixed the link, thanks 2112.rush. It's the last post on that page.

@mademan2: Thanks and such kind words are reward enough for me (I always wanted to spell out some cheesy line like that :)). Glad you enjoy the mod!
If you have experience in programming though, the ME3Explorer team always looks for manpower, just check out the forums.

That's what I was afraid of. I can do the editing, I just don't want to right now...maybe later ;)

Oh, and your link seems to be broken (at least it is for me...)

Awesome, I just noticed that MrFob has a tutorial on editing to remove the Stargazer scene. With no disrespect to Buzz Aldrin, that scene just felt like it didn't belong.

Oh yea, almost forgot: Last night I finally posted the tutorial on how to change names on the memorial wal. It's a tad complicated but for the really dedicated, it might provide some insight. =]

Harbinger: "Shepard, you insult a future you do not understand"

This line doesn't quite suit the scene. How does Harbinger know Shepard is the one of dozens of men approaching the beam? The Reapers don't exactly have him lojacked and in the middle of battle they cant exactly discern him from others.

“I will direct this personally.” or “Direct intervention is necessary.” would be better suited. And for the blast quote, use “And now you stand alone, Shepard.” because by then, he'd have a direct view. Or maybe end it with the “You are no longer relevant.” line or “We are unstoppable.”

I'd have to agree, to a certain extent.

Come to think of it, "You have failed." would fit Harbi's departure quite well. It does not mean that it believes Shepards are still alive/in any capacity to remain a threat, yet given its somewhat smug attitude, it would be fitting.

One thing I have noted on my end, however, was that for some reason Harbinger just sounds the Reaper-horn on touch-down, no actual dialogue...rest works fine.

Disagree. Shepard is in fornt of the group of Harbinger lands, Harbinger can easly see Shepard right away, plus him calling Shepard out first makest he scene bigger as Shepard and AHrbinger are at leasting meeting in "person"

And what if Shepard's wearing a helmet? Does Harbinger have x-ray vision in this case?

One thing you shouldn't do when making a good mod, don't make oversights. Account for every scenario.

I was wondering if it's possible for all the flash backs to play not just the ones of those who died. I really liked seeing Garrus, (Anderson and Joker are the other 2 I think). Like shep's LI is the last thing she thinks about before she is rescued.
