I'm from Hungary, but that shouldn't be a problem, I have downloaded stuff from there in the past.

Also try logging in to Moddb first, then clicking the download button and use the mirrors link next to the gamefront link. That should give you more options.

It worked, thanks!

Glad to help

Do I direct LAA to the MassEffect.exe that was originally(named) the Texmod?

[Catechrism]

Apply the LAA to your original masseffect.exe that you renamed for TexMod to work. Though you can apply it to both TexMod(now named Masseffect.exe) and the original masseffect.exe(now renamed to whatever you chose). I have to because when I build the full pack TexMod will crash with out LAA. But for people only running the mod it is only necessary to apply LAA to the original MassEffect.exe. I hope this helps, let me know if you need clarification.

[Calians]

Welp seem's Mass Effect on Steam for me is kaput. Had to redownload it for this new pc and the thing stuck at 99%(pause updated). Trying to get around this for the awesome mod

[Calians]

Well I got everything fixed but I get a File Access Denied Need special permission. I go to the security file tab and I checked boxed everything for every user to access it. uugghhh

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, I hope they get resolved soon, good luck.

Btw, CDAMJC, JeanLuc is also doing work on Saren: http://social.biowar...dex/13422555/14

Maybe you should collaborate and/or communicate if you want to compliment each other's excellent texture work?

[Catechrism]

Oh jeez I hope all my work wasn't wasted. He's the best around. I just had a look at his updates and they look really good. I think our interpretations are different enough that people will experiment with both? I have always complimented JeanLuc's work and I will continue to. But I know he likes to do his own thing as he has mentioned when asked to team up with Smarteck. I feel the same, I love his work but I also want to challenge myself and people can always choose what textures suit there fancy. Thanks for the suggestion and support

Get your shadows looking great with some shadow tweaks explanations and comparisons from Misha_007:

PCFS vs. VSMS shadows. I did some screenies as u asked and will show u the difference in details. Here you go :

This screenshots were made with default bioengine.ini settings from my backup.
PCFS set to True VSMF false
http://imageshack.us...3/pcfstrue.png/
PCFS false VSMS false
http://imageshack.us.../pcfsfalse.png/
VSMS True PCFS false
http://imageshack.us...1/vsmstrue.png/

Now the difference with ShadowFilterRadius set to 3
PCFS set to True VSMF false
http://imageshack.us...dowfilter3.png/
PCFS false VSMS false
http://imageshack.us...dowfilter3.png/
VSMS True PCFS false

ShadowFilterRadius 4

ShadowFilterRadius 5

Now with ShadowFilterRadius 2 and ShadowFilterQualityBias 2

ShadowFilterRadius 3 and ShadowFilterQualityBias 2

ShadowFilterRadius 4 and ShadowFilterQualityBias 2

ShadowFilterRadius 5 and ShadowFilterQualityBias 2
http://imageshack.us...wfilter5sh.png/
http://imageshack.us...owfilter5s.png/
http://imageshack.us...wfilter5sh.png/

Now with ShadowFilterQuality set to 8. 8 seems to be a maximum value for this setting in UT3 Engine because raising it to 10 or 15 will result to nothing. Shadows will be the same as with 8
ShadowFilterRadius 2

ShadowFilterRadius 3
http://imageshack.us...wfilter3sh.png/
http://imageshack.us...owfilter3s.png/
http://imageshack.us...wfilter3sh.png/

And last 2 screens with maximum settings(for shadows) possible for UT3 Engine which u can set in bioengine.ini
They are
ShadowFilterRadius=3.000000
DepthBias=0.006000
MinShadowResolution=512
MaxShadowResolution=4096
ModShadowFadeDistanceExponent=0.000000
ShadowFilterQualityBias=8

So as u can see both pcfs and vsms shadows with .ini tweaks looks much better and much more detailed than with default .ini settings. I tried raising maxshadowresolution to 8192 but it seems that such shadowsize is not supported by mass effect cuz I havent noticed any difference. Shadows looks same as with 4096. Personally I dislike PCFS shadows due to sharp edges and with VSMS they look much smoother.


Thanks Misha_007 for all the work you put into organizing this for us

Thanks, I still have to get his neck and then armor, plus a few touchups but I think I should be done by the weekend for sure.

[Catechrism]

I've uploaded a slightly edited version of my Saren HD texture to fix a couple glitches I found, please re-download from the same link on the project page, the file has been optimized.

[Fifmut]

Finally had the time to try this out today, and I noticed that Harkin's face texture isn't connected well to the rest of his head. Here's a pic: 

It's more apparent in-game, looks like he has a mask on 

It's not a huge problem, just thought you might wanna know. Sorry if it's been already mentioned.

Thanks I am aware, it's because I never retextured his hair style.  This is in the works. Thanks for your help

Well finally able to change the files name for the texmod..bad news is when I deleted Mass Effect and reinstalled, I go to Documents/Bioware and the Mass Effect folder is missing theres a folder for it under steamapps but does't have all the BIOengine config file. EDIT: got it back forgot I had a Disc back up for all my games ^^ soon I will be able to play with this awesome mod

So I got everything going but after I launch it the picture of ME comes up then goes to a Black screen and ends up Not Responding. Any ideas?

[Catechrism]

Just wait, it can take from 3-10 minutes to load depending on your rig. I am at about 3-4 minutes. Once in game load times will be normal.

[Calians]

I did and goes to Runtime error

[Catechrism]

Oh ok, runtime error requires LAA patch to be applied to the original mass effect.exe (the one you renamed) and that will allow the game to access enough RAM to avoid this crash.

[Calians]

Yeah I got it found out I directed the patch to the wrong folder xD it works now ^^

Great I hope you enjoy

[TheCrimsonSpire]

Your Garrus looks freaking amazing, I'm super excited to see what else you've done to improve on your old textures. The only bad part to all this, is that I don't want to continue playing ME1, until you've finished completely with your re-texturing.
