It's possible to add new emails.


Right now, I'm working on adding the Mass Effect Datapad messages, but I would like to hear additional ideas for adding new emails to the game.

nice ..

[Sil]

Maybe add an email about Emily Wong's death? I don't think there was one in the game.

[huntrrz]

Not an e-mail, but I remember a tribute on one of the Citadel voice announcements - I think...

[Sil]

I don't remember that, but then I haven't played the normal content of the game for awhile.

I don't remember one like that.

[Darth Taurus]

Nice! Keep us informed

[Mr.House]

It would be nice to have all the datapad messages turn into emails.

Nice stuff OP

Wonder if you can add e-mails for Spacer Shep from mom =D

I certainly could, but I'm no writer, so I'd have someone else write the actual letter.

Could I maybe write a few letters for Liara that she wanted to send to Shepard while in lock up and then gives them to Shepard after Mars ala Shepard can read the stuff Liara wanted to send to her? I can pm you them if you want.

You can do it like this (for one letter, for more just make the appropriate number of entries):
1. Open up the tlk editor for ME3. ME Explorer has it.
2. Create two new entries in the tlk file.

<string>
<id>934217770</id>
<position>934217770</position>
<data>Enter letter title here</data>
</string>
<string>
<id>934217771</id>
<position>934217771</position>
<data>Enter letter body here</data>
</string>

The numbers don't matter as long as they're unique (meaning no other entry has them)

Save and create the tlk file.

3. Open up bioui.ini from the Coalesced. You can do so with ME3 explorer if you want. But I use gibbed's tool and my instructions will be for that.

Scroll over to "sfxgamecontent.sfxguidata_mail_normandy": {

and insert this new entry line:

"(MailTitle=934217770, MailBody=934217771, MailStatePlot=9512348, SendConditional=1923, SmallImage=\\"\\")"

The last entry here needs to NOT have a comma (the other entries do need a comma).

The mailtitle and mailbody fields correspond to the entries you made in the tlk.
MailStatePlot can be any number as long as it's unique. Using a random long number is the easy way to do it.
SendConditional is the condition for which the mail is sent. I put 1923 which is the same conditional for the alert email you get from the Alliance at the start of the game, meaning by the time you can check emails in the first place.

Save the coalesced

4. Run the TOCBinUpdater in ME3 explorer.

Oh, this is awesome. Thank you for sharing!

The gun DLC packs don't have emails, so I wrote my own, but piggybacked them out to other messages. This is much cleaner.

This has all sorts of neat possible uses...thanks!

[Ottemis]

This is a thought I had not too long ago! Rewriting Kai Leng's shifty letter, adding letters from Thane during incarceration and Kolyat after his death to expand the content for that romance. So many many ideas, but hadn't the foggiest how to go about it. I think I love you, just saying.

How can you control when in the game the messages get sent to you? As in, if you don't want to just have it sent to you at the start of the game?

You need to change the "SendConditional" value. There's a conditional list here and a good way to make sense of it is looking in here and here.

I have a pretty good understanding of many of the conditionals already, so you can ask me when you want your letters sent and I'll give the numbers if possible.

Awesome, thanks so much!!!

[ZLurps]

Interesting, thanks.

[movieguyabw]

You should release this mod, once finished, on the ME3 Explorer forums. I'm sure many people would appreciate a mod like this.

[XxKarivexX]

I was wondering, could this be used to create emails that only appear after the final mission/ending? (i.e. the Legend Save, when you are placed back on the Normandy before Cronos).

[Saito404]

Questions:
How I can get file like this http://mod.gib.me/ma...3/testdump2.txt for any scene?
How to make new email for Liara's terminal?
I need conditionals for:
1 Shepard visited VS three times and was nice with them.
2 VS is recruited.
3 Mission X is complete
4 Character X was in squad for mission X
5 Shepard bought a gift for VS
6 Shepard had no romance in ME2

Probably; I'll look into it.

That file contains everything from the base game - you'd have to ask gibbed for DLC.

2 VS is recruited.

Kaidan = 18. Ashley = 19.

5 Shepard bought a gift for VS

2112

1 Shepard visited VS three times and was nice with them.
3 Mission X is complete
4 Character X was in squad for mission X
6 Shepard had no romance in ME2

I'll try to find the numbers for these. Some of them may not already exist in the game, in which case I'd have to learn how to make new ones. I'll probably find out soon enough.
In the meantime, you could tell what missions you're looking for specifically.

[CptData]

So technically it's possible to replace missing conversation between Shepard and a character via emails?

Splendid. Seems we have found a way to fill some gaps of Ash or Kaidan ^^

I need conditionals for every mission after Coup.

Also, I wonder how to combine conditionals. For example, I need to send a message after Geth Consensus mission if Ashley is recruited.

[Saito404]

Conditionals are working, but message itself... Maybe that's because of Russian version?
