- Adds a private message terminal in the control center of the Normandy (on the right of the Galaxy Map). As of v1.1, a second terminal is available in the Captain's Office of the Normandy. They both have the same functionality: the emails can be read from either location.
- Besides the terminal itself, this mod only includes a single email. So it does not do much for the player, but serves as a Framework for any mod author to add emails or other messages into the game.
- Mod authors can customize the exact moment when the player should receive any email, and potential plot consequences or other rewards (e.g. XP or credits) after reading it. Messages that require a choice from the player (e.g. Authorize vs. Ignore, like the Spectre Terminal in ME3) are also possible, with customizable consequences for each choice.
- At the moment, due to limited interface options, each message can only be read once by the player. It is not possible to browse older messages. But this will probably be updated later. The current system and data format has been thought out to ensure forward compatibility.
If you are feeling supportive, you can buy me a new email account
INFO FOR MOD AUTHORS

- You can check a functional example of a mod using the messaging framework.

INSTALLATION
Install with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.
- Drag and drop the compressed (.7z) mod file for Private Message Terminal into the Mod manager window, and import it.
- Select the mod in the Mod Manager library list (for LE3) and click "Apply Mod".
Language
- The mod is in English but translations are included for French, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, and Russian.
- In any other other localization, the mod will work just fine, but the single email and the few lines of text shown by this mod will be in English.
- Mod authors that add new messages using this framework are in control and responsible for the translations of those messages.
Uninstall with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.
- Go in Manage Target (for LE3), find Private Message Terminal in the list of installed DLC mods, and disable or delete it.
- Private Message Terminal also makes some changes to the basegame file Engine.pcc, but these will have no effect on the game if the DLC part of the mod is not active.
