yay. we now have the roach

Hello ; thanks you verry much for this mod ; But i confirm the bug with LWOTC . No more infiltration .

it seems this mod might have a conflict with LWOTC causing the infiltration system for missions to simply not be used and instead immediately starting the mission. though this is an amazing mod and my favorite Skyranger replacer.

Awesome 🙏🙏💙

@Laast np, believe me it was killing me too lol

@Nick Ulgrin
Good catch I'm using MMS (can't play without ME soundtracks :D). I'll try your fix asap THX!

So, I found the reason, and found a fix that doesnt seem to have any bad side-effects. Yet.
If you have both this mod and Music Modding System, one of the files from Music Modding System overrides this mod's, which is the file for the mission intro.
instructions:
Go to steam/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/2943336668/Content
Copy CIN_SkyrangerIntros.umap
Paste it in steam/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/757398474/Content, Use it to replace the file already present.
Once done, profit.

@Laast
Turns out, for some magical dumb fucking reason, Music Modding System is the one causing that, been pulling my hair trying to figure out why, with no reason still.

I hope @Scout Trooper releases a patch for this.

The mod works well for me excepted during the opening sequence of every missions, the vanilla skyranger always shows up, not the Kodiak. I've no idea which kind of mod could conflict and result into this.

Any way to make this awesome mod compatible with Long War of the Chosen ? There seems to be a conflict...

Please, I beg, make a UNSC pelican from Halo for WOTC. There currently is one available, but its scuffed af

OH wow I was literally just trying to link a screenshot if it would help. Sounds good thanks!

@Yhoko Thanks for the report, seems like I missed one of the landing animations, most recent update should fix it!

@Yhoko I see, I'll take a look

I mean the thrusters themselves, so like the back engine parts are like above the rest of the kodiak but it's only on the scene during landing but after landing on the result screen it's fine.

@Yhoko
A couple of questions to narrow down the problem:
Do you mean the thrusters themselves, or their effects?
If you mean effects, which are those - the blue ones for rear thrusters, or yellow-ish ones for bottom thrusters?

Ran into some weirdness with this, I'll let you know if it keeps doing it. on the landing back on the avenger post mission scene, it shows the thrusters like 10 yards above the kodiak for some reason.

@Scout Trooper, You're an absolute legend!

@KhaosByDesign, done

@Scout Trooper, that sounds fantastic 😀

@KhaosByDesign, yeah, I've been considering either making a couple of versions, or maybe even look into implementing Skyranger Skins integration

Any chance of this getting a Cerberus skin for those of us Mass Effect 2 fans?

Holy shit, that was one of the things missing in my ME modlist, thanks!

Really love this mod already with my playthrough. Thank you!

Sorry for asking, but if you are ever in a Star Wars mood. Would you consider doing the LAAT? When I looked at the mod page I saw in the comments that it isn't working well anymore.

coloussal thanks becasue this gonna be absoultey epic

@Blitz_The_Soldier: you're like the third person to ask that. Scroll down.

This is cool. Can you do the Pelican From Halo?

ah yeah sorry, I meant that.
True, but I would be more than willing to put up with that.

@Ydah Shet, do you mean an Advent Dropship to replace Skyranger? There's a little issue with it not having "hermetic" doors, so it might look a bit weird in the loading cutscene

hey sorry if this was requested before, but what about an ADVENT dropship?

@Scout Trooper: hence "might." if nothing else, we know someone's already done the outside work on it. Would just need to add in functionality and such and port it up. Granted, it would also depend *which* Pelican you want too, there are a few variations.

YEEEES, SMASHING that subscribe button!

@Arkhangel, I don't think it would actually work, unless I misunderstand how the engine handles some things.

WotC added new cutscenes for dropping into Abandones Cities, I assume because of atmospheric effects. I believe using a vanilla-targeting Skyranger replacer would break the intro sequence for those mission types - although I'm not sure if they'll just be missing, or if it would lead to crashing

@Sneaky Beaky: There already IS a Skyranger Pelican mod. Just not sure if it ever got ported to WoTC. It was actually done way back in Vanilla. Might still work.

Really cool idea using the Advent dropship animations for dropping into a mission, wondered how you would do that.
Got me thinking though, Im surprised nobody has swapped the skyranger for an Advent dropship yet because that's an awesome dropship & there's loads of Advent mods for player cosmetics.

Your Mass Effect work makes my day thanks!

@Sneaky Beaky
I've considered it, but I'm in a ME mood right now. Plus, I have no idea on how to rip the models from HALO, yet :D

Good news is, if I hit a HALO mood - that should take way less work than this, considering that a Pelican has far more similarities with the Skyranger

@Arkhangel Yeah, I went with the base model, considering Skyranger comes unarmed

Have you considered doing a pelican from Halo? (sorry if you've been asked before)

@Scout Trooper Shame it isn't the UT-47A. Always did love the door gun and sidecarred cannons on that thing XD

I mean its humans fighting against an extraterrestrial threat that can very well be the end of the human civilization, I would be surprised if it didnt fit

@Kexx I just can't help it. For some reason, Mass Effect fits very well with X2's aesthetics for me.

The amount of work to accomplish this, one can easily see the passion that went into it. I LOVE IT!!! Congrats on release, and thank you so much for investing your time and energy in something so awesome for the community!! You're making me wanna return to porting ME stuff!!
