Ah, ok - sorry for the issue then

I am already subbed to that.

I'm running this with Raider Faction Cerberus so Cerberus is its own faction, yet I run into the Guardians consistently when doing Leviathan or Chosen Strongholds. Probably an oversight in one of the encounter lists.

@aegis
No plans, sorry

@kingofthesdwarves
Generally no, sorry

@Magos Hudson
You can adjust how many armors you can build in the configuration file

and change the voices to the standered ADVENT trooper

anyway to change them so they have hybrid coloured blood and not human blood?

ok so this looks awesome and gives the gave some more variety to the armors, however do you take some mod suggestions, cause i was wanting to have a 'nerdy' character, in my playthrough, cause you know, some nerds want that juicy alien booty

Im confused by this mod so far, iv killed plenty of them but only ever got one piece of armor out of it. I want my whole team wearing cerberus armors

@Saximaphone
Hey, I feel you. I learned by pulling apart existing mods as well. Shoot me a friend request and I can try to review a few things with you.

Hello. I am currently attempting to create a very basic starting enemy mod. Basically just adding a lower-stat andromedon to practice modding.
However I am having major problems finding resources online and pulling apart pre-existing mods is getting me a bit lost and confused. Would you happen to have resources someplace about making/modifying enemies that I can take a look at?

Since all the ME masters are here and Iridar just released another new mod, may I "toss" a small idea: visual replacer of Mark 14 grenade from ME?

@M0ntS4intM1chel

If you would like the Cerberus Guardian to replace the Advent Shieldbearer, subscribe to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2028639590

Does this replace any existing units?

I have to admit myself, Miranda, Tali, Wrex and Garrus a ridiculous amount of screentime throughout my campaigns, hahaaha. Here's to hoping we eventually reach that dream!!!

There is an Avatar Ruler mod which you could learn from? EDI/Kai is not that urgent, any chance we could have Vorcha/Batarian in the future?

@Kexx,
My friend, my sincerest thanks back to you. Honestly, I remember seeing your character mods and thinking that was probably the coolest thing in the world. I've basically used those exclusively since they've come out and continue to. These mods alongside folks like Cavily and Lord Poncho are something I'm happy to contribute to and hope to continue. Thanks again :)
And definitely, looking forward to using those assets as well since you're cool with it!

Also btw, if you want, please feel free to use my Marauder assets from the Palaven Update mod, if you ever feel like wanting to make an enemy mod for them. :)

I look back to almost 4 yrs ago, when I had no idea how to mod games, and my wish was to see someone make a ME total conversion mod. Time passed and no one was really doing anything except voice packs.

So I took it upon myself to learn how to make mods, and I remember thinking to myself when I saw the overwhelming positive response to my first mod, my Tali Squadmate mod: "Dear God, people like this. They're really liking this! Maybe, one day, more knowledgeable people will join the cause, and we'll see the ME conversion happen."

This is yet another beautiful step closer towards that goal. And for that, you have my most sincere thanks!!

Replacer released:

@tastiger841
Agreed, adding new things to a balanced environment will inevitably cause imbalance. I like to offer a few different methods to help alleviate this via: standalone units, replacers, or raider factions. Up to users to select their most preferred option :)

I like the EDI/Kai ideas. I am unfamiliar with the ruler system but hope to learn more about it.

Ideas, ideas, one more idea and this one is going to self-claim the Idea-master, lol

A temp fix is to use console to give you the corpses; IMO the raider factions serve their purposes, because you can never fully ME/WH40k/SW this game. We need to imagine the aliens are the ones "give" us the technology in order to travel far into the space and discover other parties, who are at least 100's years away.

The best option is to have more than 1 option: I am about to start a ME1 campaign with the default squadmates and weapons, without the collectors and CAT-6; then add them (hopefully more stuff will be added by then) when I play ME2 campaign and so on.

May I suggest that we add Eva Coré and Kai Leng as rulers, so they can escape like in the story? Once killed, we can research EDI and Kai's armor (which gives stealth and mobility).

@Scrnbles, Daemon, Jill
Sounds good! You’ve made a solid case here so I’m happy to oblige.


@Dr. I Scourge
I share the excitement :)

I love you. Really.

@NightNinja54
another awesome mod! thank you so much. one step closer.

i agree with ScrmblesThDethDealr, the replacer mod for guardian is definitely wanted and desired. i can't speak for everyone else, and different people want different things. but for me personally my most looking forward to type of mods are the replacer mods. don't get me wrong, i love all your mods and new standalone enemies are nice. in order to solve the problem of them flooding the enemy pool therefore reduce essential drops for research and development, all new standalone enemies are now in raider factions. but raider faction don't always show up in game to be fought consistently ( even with help of other mods ) . so it's all about what mods that cause the desired ( mass effect ) units to consistently show up in game. ie replacers.

cheers ! once again, thank you so much for the awesome work! :D

Yes, I second the request for a replacer!

thanks...that just leave the aliens now that all the advent soldiers are covered.

@VertigoJockey
Yes, you're right. The animations on this unit were tricky due to the shield and such. Since primary pistols aren't immediately supported by the base XCOM game, additional adjustments are required. I wanted to at least get this mod released as its been some time before tackling animations associated with pistols. :)

@Sweeps
Yes, I've updated the Cerberus Raider Faction to support the new guardian unit

@ScrmblesThDethDealr
Currently standalone unit - 'Replacer' on the way if desired

@tastiger841
Sure

Silly question but wasn't the Guardian's weapon the Talon Shotgun Pistol? I remember that was released as part of the modpack the shield came from.

Will this work with the Cerberus Faction mod?

He looks great...He replace the shieldbreaker or is that one on its way as well?

Is it possible I could talk to your privately, like add you as a friend or something? Don't wanna spoil the fun, lol

@tastiger841
Potentially, what's the idea?

First

I was thinking about the missing unit, this one reads Master Ninja's mind?

Just wondering if you are interested in doing a small mod, which is for a coming special day?
