[WotC] Mass Effect UT-47 Kodiak Skyranger Replacer

Description
This mod replaces the Skyranger with a model of UT-47 Shuttle from Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.

Includes support for robojumper's Skyranger Skins with following skins:
- Systems Alliance
- Cerberus
- Cerberus (Normandy markings)
- Batarian/Mercenary
- C-Sec

Includes loading screen support for up to 8 soldiers/SPARKs.

Includes icon/graphic replacement on the Strategy layer

Replaces drop animations with those used by Advent troops, as Kodiak has no attachment points for fastropes, and its interior is much too cramped to support vanilla Skyranger animations

Does not affect pre-rendered cutscenes, for obvious reasons

Compatibility

Not compatible with any other Skyranger replacers

Might run into issues with mods editing the Avenger Armory, but should not be gamebreaking

FAQ/Known Issues

Old Skyranger shows up/Kodiak looks broken
Once again, I did not test it with every single mission, especially the heavily scripted ones. If old Skyranger still shows up outside of a pre-rendered cutscene, please be so kind to point out the mission in the comments!

Drop animations look weird with Templars/custom soldiers/certain modded weapons
This is an issue with Advent drop animations. I'll try to fix it in the future, but no promises

Soldiers clip through Kodiak's rear engines during the walkup/walkoff in the Squad Selection screen
Unfortunately, the model's dimensions don't allow for a clean and simple fix of such an issue. This is probably here to stay.

And me, Scout Trooper, for converting and reanimating the model, doing my best to set up VFX and implement it in game

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.

@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
