Cool! Due to my bad internet connection, I won't be able to download it until monday but if it's working, then I guess it'*s ready to go on the nexus.

 

Congrats man! Glad we did get this done after all.

@MrFob

 

Well, I would prefer let Deager to test it before, as he kindly offered himself to do it.

 

My father also wants it installed, so I'll download the file and try myself tomorrow in another computer (and with another shep) in order to have additional testing.

 

Congrats to you too, is incredible to have this live

[Ironhandjustice]

Aaaaaaaaaaand here it is!

 

The installer!

Take a look and let me know!

Huzzah!!
Congrats on getting the installer up IHJ, it great to see the project finally released and out in the Mass Effect universe. You,, Fob, Deager, WV, Wavion, etc, have put a huge amount of time and effort into this; I am thrilled it all paid off. I will download it tonight!!!
Btw remind me, does this work with the JohnP LI mod?

PS sorry I couldn't be around for the testing earlier

[Deager]

I should have time to mess with this. Probably even tonight and confirm it works.

[Ironhandjustice]

Please make backup of the full directory first!!!

I tried it twice, but perhaps with different updates it would work... Badly

@cfs3corsair.

Not sure. It will update some files related to the ending, so I have no idea what effect it could have on it...

I installed Me3, full updates, the leviathan, then EC, then MEHEM0.4, then patch.

@Deager
I plan to do a CEMupdate release too

@both

Thanks for the testing!

[Deager]

That was weird. Got it installed and skipped straight from Joker saying "Shepard!" to the 2nd part of MEHEM where the Normandy pulls a 180 with Joker saying "Not those beams again. Not again!"

 

So yeah, not sure. The only 2 things I wish the installer could offer would be

 

a) automatically finding the install location

not leaving junk files around

 

Granted, I know that gets more complicated to do and I don't know how Wavion does his installers but they are really slick.

 

Anyway, I can try more testing but skipping over an entire part was really unexpected.

[Ironhandjustice]

Well, sorry to hear that

This is a first version, so is unpolished. I plan to improve it as soon as I can.

Wavion's touch register and make backups of the stuff. He probably makes an integrity (size) check before touching anything.

Is possible to do that, definetily. The automatic generation of the installer will be a bit more complicated but still possible without a ton of effort. I'm going to check this with my dad ASAP.

The bad news are that I must do the check because it can break the game if the versions mismatch.

[MrFob]

Hey, sorry, still didn't get around to downlading it (internet situation is a bit tricky atm).

 

I am not sure what exactly is going on but Deager's issue might occur if the file BioD_End002_500Choice.pcc wasn't replaced. I had to re-shuffle the videos a little so it may be that you wouldn't see the videos properly. There might be other reasons as well though (e.g. if some videos are not rep[laced correctly or have the wrong names).

 

Just to confirm though Deager: It cuts from Shepard collapsing straight to the Normandy 360 scene. You don't even see the Citadel arms open all the way?

[Deager]

I'll have to fire it up to make sure that was the transition I saw. Right....cuz it would kind of make sense if I saw the arms open and then go to the second part. Skipping the arms seems odd. I'm a bit busy for a few days it looks like but I'll check it out.

 

Also, since my one save of all my Sheps didn't work with JohnP's mod on my computer but worked for him it might be worthwhile for someone else to test IHJ's current installer. Unless IHJ; did you say the installer was a bit fickle in general from your own testing? Or did you say that simply because I reported a problem?

[MrFob]

It is possible that you may miss all the videos, even the one with the arms, depending on what files didn't get updated properly.

 

Anyway, I downloaded the latest version now and I'll give it a test tonight and have a look at the files.

[Ironhandjustice]

@Deager

 

33% failure is something to look at. I make two complete tests with clean installations, and both worked. The problem is that 1/3 does not work, and would be good to know why. So, at the moment, we should take a look.

 

=)

 

@MrFob.

 

I'm currently working at the version that make backups. If you are going to try it manually, it will probably work. I'm worried about the installer, though.

[Ironhandjustice]

@ALL

 

Now I have it. BWAHAHHAAW. This new installer checks your installation integrity, warns you if you have something unexpected, and allows you to uninstall the addin.

 

Problem: it will only work with a concrete version: pure MEHEM 0.4 + clean installation + all existing patches.

 

Please give it a try.

This should work

[MrFob]

Nice! Downloading now. Will test tonight.

[Deager]

Could be classic me but it says the default.sfar file is not the correct size. So, kudos for getting that working. It failed earlier so I replaced all default.sfar files with their backups. Deleted any files from cookedconsole newer than 4/25/12. Cleared out other locations of sweetfx and any extraneous files. Repaired the game and repaired all the DLCs. Still didn't work.

 

But, if it works for Fob then it's something I'm doing I bet. Or anyone else here trying it out? If so, let us know. I'd love to see this work for the harby project.

[JohnP]

Same here. Are we sure that the sfar is always the same size after MEHEM installation? Not sure what VPatch is doing to the file exactly.

 

Did you install MEHEM with the original soundtrack or with Julia's? I would imagine those options would result in slightly different sfar file sizes.

[Deager]

Good point on music. I did original soundtrack on my test but can test with Julia's later.

[Ironhandjustice]

Hum.

 

Can you please send me the file sizes you have?

 

http://www.adrive.co...rityChecker.rar

 

This tool I made for the prototype should be placed into a ME3 directory with MEHEM installed. Once done, just run the exe and check results.

 

The installer says to me:

I've just tried with Julia's soundtrack and works. BUT I also have Leviathan installed (didn't remembered that). I can also make a version for non-levy.

 

Please post the sizes you have, is possible that the problem is on my end :S

 

If that is the case, I can recompile the thing and have it back once is uploaded. But that's weird, Wavion's also do a integrity check as far as I can see.

Thanks a lot!

 

So is only EC Sfar the only one different for you.

 

@Deager, @MrFob, can you please tell me if do you have the same size for this file? If so, I'll make an OR clause on the code and upload it as soon as possible. After that, we should check that the persons with the different size can run it properly.

 

I can't figure out why we have this tiny (buy annoying) difference. Perhaps the language files? Space magic? Harbinger wants to live?

 

Well, at least the fix is pretty simple.

[Deager]

Concurred. Original MEHEM score installed, DLC_CON_END Default.sfar is 1,951,220,557 bytes

[Ironhandjustice]

Ok.

 

Perhaps is a difference between versions. Weird. As mine is working too, I'm going to compile it for both sizes and see what happens.

 

Once is done, I'll come back with it. It will be available tomorrow, I hope.

 

Thanks for the testing

 

This is a stuff to consider when I release the universall installer. First test in order to know why someone can't install, check with the IntegrityChecker.exe to know it. I will upgrade it with a more informative compilation (5 minutes of work xD) and let it be with the bat director (each installer will have its own Integrity Checker tailor-made).

 

Hope this will help.

[Deager]

Installers are huge as it's about an 8 to 1 to 10 to 1 ratio on downloads for a lot of them. Not that everyone needs the installer but many do.

[MrFob]

Yep, same here. 1,951,220,557 bytes it is.

Not sure where the difference comes from but you mentioned something about a spanish tlk file. Did you modify it possibly? Maybe that can account for the difference.

 

I'd recommend uploading an installer (if posible) but also an archive of the mod files for manual install. Seems that quite a few poeple use that as well.

[Ironhandjustice]

Well, another try.

@MrFob

 

Ok, I'll upload them tomorrow morning
