The DLC is probably about 95% assets from the main game. because porting everything would probably be impossible. That means we just pull LE versions of assets like meshes, sounds, etc. “I built a ‘donor’ system,” says Mgamerz, “from an object path in the original game, this system searches for the same named object in the legendary version of the game, which, if present, is used in the converted file instead. It was hard to make this planet look real because it used a lot of shaders that are not in Legendary Edition. Well, that and that is typically at the bottom of the players’ list of favorite DLCs. I imagine the loss of the source sound was what ultimately judged any chance that this DLC was recreated. “I’m pretty sure their tools are not able to work on the compiled files that ours needs,” Mgamerz says, “since their tools are designed to be used with the source assets. The Legendary Explorer gave them an advantage over BioWare. “Although this specific project is a few months old,” says SirCxyrtyx, the longest-serving member of the modding toolkit development team, “it is in some ways the culmination of nearly a decade of work to make the Mass Effect trilogy moddable.” It’s a sequel to ME3Explorer, a similar toolkit that started as a ‘creation kit’ for modders who wanted to change the end of Mass Effect 3. It was possible thanks to Legendary Explorer, a mod-making tool they maintain that lets modders extract and repackage assets from the Mass Effect Legendary Edition and edit everything from in-game text to pathfinding. ME3Tweaks modding team, Mgamerz, SirCxyrtyx, Kinkojiro and HenBagle, sat down to rectify that omission.
