First of all, I wanted to thank you for this awful mod ! I don't know how to say it but, Mass Effect is maybe the most powerful in term of emotion and writing (and not only for me), especially with the characters, and it was a fu***** disappointment when I saw the end that bioware gave us... It was really sad personnaly because I'am a huge fan of mass effect ! So, just THANK YOU !
But I wanted to know about the possible translation of mehem ? Indeed, I'm french and even if I understand with the original version, it broke a little bit the immersion when at the end of the game, I have to turn in english my game, and see my last minutes of mass effect without the sames voices of characters
It's just to know it And Thank you again, you rock !
Hey, I'm currently working on a german translation. The Text is fairly easy to translate. I did it with the mass effect 2 tlk tool. with that I extracted the DLC_CON_MEHEM_INT.tlk found under \ Mass Effect 3\ BIOGame\ DLC\ DLC_CON_MEHEM\ CookedPCConsole, to a xml file. That xml File I opened in Notepad++ and translated the Emails and the Subtitles I found in there. Then I saved the file and used the former named tool to convert the new xml back in a tlk. then I backed up the old DLC_CON_MEHEM_INT.tlk file (kinda important if something messes up) and replaced it with my new file. (it has to be exact the same name so dont change INT to FR or DEU or something like that) voila, you have at least translated texts. If you dont want to go through the trouble of changing the games lamguage every time you play the end heres a quote from Mrfob which my help you: "Sorry, in it's current version, MEHEM v0.5 only properly supports the English version of the game. If you set your game to English, you should be able to run the mod without issue.
Alternatively, you can do the following: - Got to the folder <Your ME3 install directory>\BioGame\ DLC\ DLC_CON_MEHEM\CookedPCCConsole\ - In this folder, find the file DLC_CON_MEHEM_INT.tlk and make a copy - Rename the copy to DLC_CON_MEHEM_FRA.tlk - Use ME3Explorer's AutoTOC tool to update the file PCConsoleTOC.bin in the folder <Your ME3 install directory>\BioGame\ DLC\ DLC_CON_MEHEM\ (you can find a tutorial on the AutoTOC tool on the ME3Explorer forums)."
For the rest, yeah thats kinda a hard time. the Voice files used in the videos are spreaded across all three games. I managed to find all voice files from pre end, good end and secret end. Some of the files needed some editing 'cause they consist of two other files. doing that was a pain in the ass, I hope you dont mind that expression . Good thing for all future translations I have a text file with all locations of the voice files (if if they are the german files you just would have to switch out DEU for ur own languages one. That would make it a bit easierto find the voice files. You'll also have to find 3 voice actors (one for captain fob and two for the rescue squad). BUT yeah that big BUT, to make proper translations we need the video files WITHOUT the voices in a usable format (sadly rad video tool just makes corrupted avis for me). Thats a thing Mr Fob has to provide in order to let us make translations.
I hope that answer helps you.
And now Mr Fob if you read this: Please give us the video files without voices, I'm willing to do everything else (or search a few guys who help me finding the lines from the bad ending and do the voice acting). If you want to voice yourself in the german version just go ahead Please just provide the files a lot of people want to see a german version. But I also have some start. I already converted my old german text translation to MEHEM 0.5
Thank you ! And translation (2 comments)
