Men of War: Mass Effect Unity Project mod

COPYRIGHT:

We're using PORTED models/textures from Mass Effect and Republic Commando, so all rights for those said models and textures go to BioWare and LucasArts; we're not claiming copyright on those models, all we're saying is that, if you wish to use some of ours in your mod we'd like you to ask us first. Again, not because we're claiming the original models, but because bringing props/skins/else into MOW takes a lot of time. We're doing this for free and this mod will never be "for sale" also once the models are exported they CAN'T BE RE-EXPORTED that means that if somebody wants to re-take them to sell them or something like that he can't, because like I wrote the models can't be imported by 3d programs.

You can show your support to BioWare if you're new to Mass Effect by buying the full trilogy, I highly suggest doing so if you're a fan of TPs or RPGs, you'll get your money back in game hours guaranteed: buy the full trilogy here!

CONTENT :

We hope to bring as many factions and objects from the Mass Effect Universe into AS 2, and use this great RTS game to give another perspective to the conflicts that happened in the Milky Way; we are accomplishing this task using our exporting and coding knowledge; since we'd like to port as many things as possible, we will get content from all the three major games of the saga (ME 1,2 and 3, no content from Andromeda will be present). It'll be a difficoult task, but so far everything proceeded with not many problems.

Here are the major things contained in the mod so far, keep in mind these are all under construcion and aren't finished, they will be expanded as time passes:

General overview:

• Over 300 new skins, all of unique as well as common characters; they range from humans to vorchas, more are added each update.
• 100+ new props that you met in the Mass Effect universe.
• 19 vehicles that are both original or new, but in a lore friendly way.
• Sounds from the games or that give a good sci fi vibe to the mod.

Factions :

• Systems Alliance: Alliance Marine Corps.
• Batarian Hegemony: Batarian light infantry.
• Cerberus: Cerberus' army (as of right now composed by Centurions, Troopers, and Nemesis snipers).
• Civilians: Human, Batarian, Salarian, Asari and Quarian civilians.
• Mercenaries: Blue Suns, Eclipse, Shadow Broker's army and generic mercenaries.
• Reapers: Collectors and the Reapers' infantry army (as of right now composed by Cannibals, Marauders and Husks).
• Turian Empire: Turian Infantry Corps, Turian Special Forces.
• Geth: Geth variations present in ME 3 Singleplayer.
• Salarians: Special Task Force operatives, light infantry and mercenaries (Blue Suns, Eclipse and Shadow Broker's army); some heroes and known characters (Commander Rentola, Jaroth, Lieutenant Tolan and Major Kirrahe).
• Heroes: Liara/Tali/Legion/Shepard (male).
• Vorchas: variations of mostly independent Vorchas, but also mercenaries (Blood Pack, Blue Suns and Eclipse).
• Asari Republics: Asari heavy infantry.

Vehicles :

• M35 Mako (3 different types)
• M44 Hammerhead
• Light Turret (2 variations)
• M080

They won't be listed, but we also added many props and weapons for you to create your maps with!

CREDIT :

With this being such a big and challenging project, we use many sources to get sounds, models and textures from, we take note each time that we discover and use a certain source.

• The community from DeviantArt that brings many models into XNA, if you are a Deviant artist or have experience with XPS, go ahead and pay them a visit here with special credit to: nach77, Just-Jasper, Mellin and Padme4000, them being our main sources for many re-done textures and some difficoult to extract models.
• The Gametoast Battlefront 2 community for many asstes check them out over at Gametoast, if the link is broken it's because I can't access the main site (apparently it's blocked in Europe), but Google can find who I'm talking about for you.
• Corra_Ashu and other people from Facepunch (especially from this thread, but also from the Mass Effect thread) for making public sounds, models and textures from many games, in our case Star Wars Battlefront 3, by Free Radical and well games from the ME saga.
• Garry's mod website for addons that contained textures, I don't rember exactly the authors (apart from cire992), but you can find part of the textures we used on the site.
• The major MOW modders, that always helped me in my modding problems and gave me instructions in every part of modding: λpone and SullenMan. A special mention goes to Buzztr0n, for helping me on a daily basis, letting me use part of his files and in general never letting me fail at something, if you are new around go ahead and check out his awsome mod.
• p3dm.ru for some models, Glitt666 for some heads from his released assets for MOW, I don't have any direct link to him, but you can check out his awsome game (originated as mod) here
• The Vk community, the Digitalmindsoft forums and this site.
• Sounds for particoular characters like Geth and Marauders from this youtuber
• Zombie code used for the Husk from the U.N.I.T. mod (if I'm wrong correct me).
• Various skins and a vehicle taken from the "Galaxy in Flames" project from theddd1.

F.A.Q :

Q: Why Mass Effect in particoular? There are plenty of games out there!

A: Because we love Mass Effect and its universe, each playthrough is a differnt experience, making this series unique.

Q: Will there be biotics?

A: We'll think about it in the future, not for now.

Q: What game is this for?

A: The mod is developed on AS 2, you can try and bring this in other MOW games, but you'll have to adjust many things, only the skins will work with no problem immediatly.

Q: Does this work with other mods?

A: Probably doesn't, but it always depends on what files the other mods change, so go ahead and test, at your own risk!!

Q: This sucks, doesn't look like ME at all/ X mod is better

A: Nobody is forcing you to be here, leave if this isn't for you, useless comments will be deleted, while instead constructive critics are well accepted.

Q: When will this mod be released?

A: TBD, but we'll do and open demo for sure.

Q: Will the work be discontinued?

A: Probably for some time, yes, but when it will be, I'll be sure to advise you.

Q: Will this include content from ME: Andromeda?

A: No, it's only focused on the original ME trilogy. No exceptions.
