MASS EFFECT MOD [Released 1.00]

[Taeryc]

Theres a few messed up things, yeah. Like starting on a planet that has independent populations (and thus you annex them) - I managed to get the graphics mostly working as well, though that was in a haze last night and I forget. Stars are messed up though so had to delete that aspect, over all, however, it seems alright, bar a few effects/effect sounds, but thats cosmetic.

At least on the bright side, with the better editor and the alliance shipset I love so much in Universe I can do crazy things, yay! Not that I can link it, but its basically an idealized Sol System with 6 factions. Its.. interesting.

No errors here when I revert to default theme from mass effect mod 2.1

-- There is one thing I'd like to ask. Is it possible to remove or replace the vanilla Human race?

So I don't have both the vanilla human and mod humans in the same game.

Yeah in this mod the mod humans are called Humans and the default humans are called Human. There's quite a few files though that you'd have to edit to do that of course because you'd have to do the opposite of what you'd do to add a race.

Hi Taeryc, I'd be really interested to know how you fixed the problem of independent populations!

I was playing a little game the other night as a random race (Mortalen) and found a colony ship with a bunch of Asari on board in stasis. When I tried to establish a colony with that ship the game encountered a fatal error and had to exit. Not sure if that's quite the same problem you had but nevertheless I'm very curious.

What problem did you encounter with stars? I'd only like to know so I can preempt any difficulties myself!

does anyone know what files need to be edited to disable the vanilla human? kinda problematic having 2 different humans in same game.

The independent population issue is probably something to do with assigning races homeworlds and starting game generation that needs to be tweaked - essentially, it can spawn your homeworld on another races homeworld (as defined by the game) when traditionally it doesnt do that. Leading to a situation where your Systems Alliance spawns on Rannoch with 350m Geth along for the ride. I say this has something to do with Universe because every game i've played of stock universe so far has spawned me in Sol as humans or Ketaros as Ketarov, etc.

That's something for other modders to deal with. In terms of random bugs and errors - theres probably a few lose ends that need to be tied up, but I don't have the knowledge (or the will) to deal with that.

The stars issue is a graphical one - i copied over the old graphics mod onto a copy of universe to see if they worked (theres a few graphics images missing, so you have to do it that way). Essentially the Universe Stars have a different shading so the stars looked off, but this was solved by deleting the ME graphics for stars and restoring the original. Its not really anything that should come up with the base version without graphics.

I think it's more of a feature than a bug. Having two species/civilizations sharing the same homeworld is perfectly possible; and if you don't like sharing it, you can start over.

I had to use proxy to get it, but it's there.

EDIT: or not. It downloads 14 - 15 MB, then stops. Not sure what's going on, but could you please put the fuile on some normal server?

You're probably from one of the countries deemed worthy of accessing such a great server or something.

I'm in the French Caribbean. Sometimes I can not download them to my country.
