I'd like to make polish translation of this great mod, but I'm a total noob when it comes to ME modding, so I have three questions: - tlk is for FemShep and tlk_M is for MaleShep, right? - do .pcc files for all the languages have to weight the same? Or could they differ in that matter? - anyone knows what language is tlk file with PLPC? I can decypher all other languages, but this one I have no idea.
- No, tlk and tlk_M should be identical. If there are differences between F/M-shep, it should go in both (with the version for FShep using the same numbers but after the Female tag). - No, they can be different weights. - I thought PL and PLPC were both polish (like DE and GE are both german but for the full german version and only text in german version). But to be honest I've never acually had a look at it.
You can open the .pcc file using Package Editor, and make the edits directly in there, or export to xml and then import back. That's also the best way to have tlk_M Identical (once your donee, export to xml, then import into tlk_M). Feel free to send me a DM on discord if you have other issues/questions.
Thanks for the answers! Looks I have to do some research first about that male and female versions, but I'm sure I'll get it. I have already opened .ppc file with Package Editor and exported to .xml, but nevertheles thanks for a tip. As for that PLPC, I thought it is some kind of PL version, because no other language came to my mind. Well, I'll do some research, because if it's really another polish file, it should be translated too.
I have received a polish translation, and updated the mod with it. Sorry if it cuts you in your efforts... the person didn't give me any notice that they were working on it. Let me know if the result is good enough or if you see some issues...
Well, I still haven't figured how those FemShep lines work in LE1. LE2 & LE3 - no problem, but the first one? No idea. I checked that polish translation you added to learn how it's done, but unfortunately all it's strings are as if Shepard was a "she". Some of them are of course unisex, but some are clearly addressed to a FemShep, so even BroShep will get those female lines.
just started a new game and i love this mod. it helps them annoying collection quests so much. Could you make a patch for Virmire Savior? i got the emails about both people dieing
This is a cool, immersive mod. Nice job! How many asari writings etc. can you get from this mod? It would be great to know ahead of time how many collectibles you have to get with the Mako.
The fact that it's so easy to naturally read these messages in the senders' voices is just one more example of your talent, thank you for all the wonderful mods!
Been using this mod for a while and recommend it to my friends for their next playthroughs. Any chance for a version for people on their 50th playthrough of the trilogy, that autocompletes the collecto-thon through the messages? :D
The message from Joker about minerals completely killed me ! I found it so funny I came here to say thank you for your mod it adds to the game so much and you don't even expect it before using it ! :)
This kind of little mods seem like they add so little but they feel so essential and add so much to the experience. And the way how the messages are written, it feels like the characters are truly talking to you.
This mod has become an essential part of a playthrough !
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoy the mod! To be fair, the devs are the ones who implemented a message terminal in the next two games. It's definitely a great tool to create a more immersive game, and too bad they didn't think of it already in ME1... but well it's a lot easier for me (or any other) to think about it afterwards. Though implementing it without dev tools is another issue.

I'm not too enthusiastic about making multiple versions tbh. Maybe someday, but you can use the save editor I suppose.

This is from my part considered an essential mod for any future playthroughs.
