📋 About This Mod
This update includes some minor improvements that have resulted from better tools being developed for Legendary Edition:
Weapons in Cutscenes are fixed - Shepard and the squad will use their carried hand weapon or rifle in preference to the default Avenger or Predator. Code has been ported from EGM LE.
Behind the scenes streaming improvements on the Normandy.
Fixes - certain conditionals and certain files have had minor bugs fixed and improved due to LEX's better bug detection technology.
LOCKDOWN EDITIONDue to the lockdown and advancements in the tookit, we have found some time to make a few additions including:
Squadmate casuals: pick from over 30 casual outfits using the EGM Settings for your squad to wear on the Normandy or Citadel
Galaxy Map revisions including:
- Evolving Planet descriptions - as clusters are captured or recovered, many planet descriptions will change and evolve.
- Reapers will only hunt you in captured clusters, and can be switched off in EGM settings.
- Fuel depots that are destroyed during the Reaper invasion
- Fleet icons showing major fleet locations
The 7z now takes full advantage of the upgrades for Mod Manager, with the Squadmate Pack, Custom Extras all rolled into one highly compressed package.
Update and Run EGM Settings from the Mod Manager Menu
Minor Bug fixes, including improved memory management for ALOT users.
Additions by Kinkojiro, Mellin and Sil. Testing by Audemus, Khaar and BladeZero. Toolkit programming by Mgamerz, SirCxyrtyx and Kinkojiro.
Please Note: Having done the Lockdown Edition, and a couple of months of bug fixes and helping players, we are now retiring (again) and EGM is no longer supported. Please see the FAQs and other articles if you need help.
