To anyone who wants to use this with the Allies Unknown mod you can edit the mods XComContent.ini, just add this line before the closing parenthesis to each armor piece. , CharacterTemplate="KroganSoldier"

Please add tattoo's for the top and bottom portion of the krogans headplate, thank you good mod!

@Gh0stma3r

Do it, I'd support that. If it helps move the needle, you probably don't need to change much between male and female Krogan armors. I think the only real anatomical difference is that female Krogans are slightly smaller, but when you've got the equivalent of an organic battle-tank in full armor bearing down on you... you're probably not gonna check if its silhouette aligns more with male or female Krogan anatomy. xD

@Gh0stmak3r Im having the same issues.

yes you dooooo

I am so tempted to redo this mod just so the integration with Allies Unknown is done..but that wouldn't be enough. Hell I would want to add female options for all of this as well as the female armor from ME3, and the Krogan armors from ME:Andromeda and ME1. Ugh Am I talking myself into doing a successor to this mod?

Hmm I wonder why the ini edits needed to use this with Allies Unknown Redux Krogans work for the most part with me except for the helmets. The vanguard show up but none of the others do. Since I don't think the mod author really knows since they never bothered to try to integrate it with Allies Unknown; could any of the other users let me know if they had problems with the helmets?

This mod should be definitely be made compatible with Allies Unknown!

Is there any way to restrict this mod from adding the parts to freshly generated soldiers, because having people show up with krogan torsos looks weird and it happens way too often for me to random soldier appearances anymore.

I use Iridar's Clean Soldier Generation and somehow these armors still manage to show up on my random soldiers. Is there any reason for why that is or something I can do to fix that?

Conclusion:

The tweak described by Cylindryk does indeed work. Few things to note:

1. I was unable to restrict the customizations to the Krogans in allies unknown

2. I was able to get the assets from this mod to appear on the allies unknown Krogans

3. The parts don't sync up perfectly with each other.

In conclusion, while I'd love to add the extra mass effect alien cosmetics, it seems that the process to fuse allies unknown and this mod together would take more work than just a few ini tweaks.

If you want them to feel like they're one mod, where only the krogans have these parts instead of normal soldiers, and they can be perfectly mixed and matched... that takes more work.

If you just want to add these assets to allies unknown, that just takes an ini tweak to this mod.

You can totally play with both mods installed, but by default, they'll be separate.

A report for people who asked: "Can this work with Allies Unknown: Redux Krogans?"

By itself, no. I don't think so. They can be used together, but the cosmetic options here will show up for the normal humans instead of the krogans.

I'm currently following the year-old advice from Cylindryk, posted below, to see if that works to get the cosmetics to appear on only Krogan soldiers instead of the human soldiers. Will update with a confirmation if it works.

Wow! Looking at the screenshots in here has me thinking this mod just got even better :)

Oh? What's added by your mod? "Vanguard" and "Warlord" armor? and an "animated head"? That's pretty cool.

Both contain different items, so I suggest using both

Which one's better? This one or the one by Kexx??? Not trying to troll or start a flame war, just curious.

is this working with allies unknown krogans!? that would be amazing!!

@Xavius Here are istructions how to do it:

for AUSR:Krogans you just need to copy the existing lines for soldiers and replace with "CharacterTemplate="KroganSoldier", SpecializedType=true" instead of "CharacterTemplate=Soldier" in the XComContent.ini of this mod's config folder.

*takes a deep breathe*
iiiis there any chance of having a version of this that works with the Allies Unknown Redux for Krogans? Because there's only two armor sets for those guys and I want more customization than 'that's Grunt' or 'That's Wrex' available.

what was in today's update?

Or you could use the uniform manager

i think i found a workaround for krogan soldiers, u need unrestricted customization,
first u create a male char with ur wanted armor parts, and ingame u import this set to ur krogan(male), i thinks it resets if u put on a new armor, workaround is here u take a normal soldier with the advanced armor, and do the same, then import again to the krogan

Guys, let's just calm down and go to youtube dot com slash videogamedunkey.

@boccan - first off, maximum respect for creating mods of ANY kind - from a guy who get's nervous futzing with .ini files. Second, I'm afraid that spelling and grammar DO matter. I won't make any assumptions about where you are from or what your education is, but the fact is that many players will shy away from mods that have serious grammatical or spelling errors. Part of that is bigotry, but part is due to an assumption that poor spelling/grammar is due to sloppiness which will be present in the coding as well. I agree wholeheartedly with you about your reasoning, vis-a-vis poor education, but that doesn't solve the problem. I'm a professional writer and educator, so I do have a bit of knowledge here. Send a friend request if you'd like to talk this out further.

Arkhangel i dont think it matters how inaccuately i spelled the names the mear fact you got what i meant and corrected me told me it was understandable :) anyway while my grammer is pathetic at best this i blame on the last 20 years of a dliberately underfunded english educational system to the point that teachers started to become less interested in teaching due to a low wage :)........ but as for the other aspect towards the arse end of the reaper war and during the invasion of the turian homeworld they was barely holding out there homeworld had almost been taken the space fleet was something i grant you that it was mentioned that a whole turian fleet could outlast the asari's grand citadel fleet in a one on one so i grant you on this your right the elders might have said "fuck this GG im leaving and not coming back"

@bocaan: btw, it's "Salarians" and "Turians," and if it was the direct ME universe circa Shep's career, i doubt the Elders would've taken down any of the Citadel races. remember in ME3 the Turians were actually holding the line against the REAPERS, and actually managed to push them back once you got them Krogan and Quarian backup.

@Bocaan: there IS Krogan Mercs for ADVENT enemy wise

@jedi: pretty sure they'll be added to the armor options for Krogan soon enough, just gotta give realitymachina and Ginger some time

Non-binary version when?

these guys need to be the models for the Allies Unknown Krogan

while not a pro alien ill add this because.............. MASS EFFECT! but if only the krogan were on the alien side like the solarians, asari, taurians, batarians and the rest minus the geth and reapers doubt the elders be able to even roflstomp those races

This guy just keeps on giving. Very appreciated.

Boi. Yes/

@AmonRyu Wow, thank you!
It have taken some time, but it's working!
And now I know how to add B1 look to Geth Troopers, if I do it right! Yay!

Maybe you even know how to change voice in normal Advent Enemies to something else?

@Cylindryk for AUSR:Krogans you just need to copy the existing lines for soldiers and replace with "CharacterTemplate="KroganSoldier", SpecializedType=true" instead of "CharacterTemplate=Soldier" in the XComContent.ini of this mod's config folder.

@Cavily also found a tiny spelling issue on "SkirmisherSoldier" powered right arm while doing that

Amazing stuff!

Thank you Cavily for making this! My Mass Effect roster just got more awesome!

grracias!

I use the Halo 3 Brute and queek's Sangheili voice packs, which I think work pretty well

is there some moar voices for them? except wrex, grunt and wreav

@Cavily: any plans to add Female Krogan in?

@Cavily: you'll need to get ahold of RealityMachina for that update to happen.

Insert Official Kexx Seal of Approval here!!

Good stuff yet again man.

This is awesome!

@AmunRyu If you figure it out, how to add this looks to AUSR:Krogans, will you share with rest of us? :)

"I don't need luck, I have Ammo" Sub an Liked.

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH YES! I'm so happy! I! AM! KROGAN!!!

I think I will just need to add some stuff to the ini. Your mod looks rly high quality, great job!

I'm not sure I've never used it, but I think it's something that has to be added on that mod's side

are the customization options open for the "Allies Unknown Species Redux: Krogans" mod?
