Hey, CDAMJ - I started a new Mass Effect playthrough (probably the final I'll ever make, as much as I like the game, it's just... tedious to playthrough now) and finally saw your textures in-game. They're gorgeous! I'm also using the new FXAA Injector, some custom .ini modification (plus your advice on the LOD settings) and 2xAA/16AF through the drivers... just gorgeus!

However, with 7 textures - the main pack, Scientists+Geth+Colonists+Saren and JeanLuc's Dr.Chackwas, Texmod load really slow.

Would it be possible to add the 4 seperate textures and any upcoming ones in a, say, Pack #2? So that would still leave two packs for Texmod to load?

[Catechrism]

Hello Burdokva,
Yes, I will create a second pack in the the near future. Thank you for your compliment. I am excited about this FXAA injector. I have only used it with Skyrim, with great results. I had no idea it could be used in Mass Effect. Which version are you using? Are you using for anti-aliasing purposes only or for color/bloom effects as well? I think I will have to try this.

Hello everyone,

I have created a new file system on the project page. There is Pack 1 which includes environmental textures: light maps, shadow maps, and film grain.  There is also Pack 2 which contains all of the character textures I have done up to this point. Packs 1 and 2 together make up all of my textures. I am also keeping the individual textures for those who like them. Finally, I am also creating a Mediafire link to the full pack, so if you like all of the textures I've done you can simply load the pack of all 250+ textures. I think this format will work well going forward.

As long you allow the individual files to be uploaded at the same time, I don't oppose it.

[Catechrism]

Yep it's all done I kept the individual files, except I merged the film grain and shadow/light maps into pack 1 as I felt they belonged together and should also be the main file because they are the most drastic in quality improvement of the graphics.

Here are some screens of my current WIP:










This texture has been the biggest challenge for me so far

Just for future reference, in comparason screen shots, turn off the film grain as it makes it rather frustrating so see any difference between either shot.

Good point and will do from now on, I have replaced the screen shots above with screens minus the film grain. Most of the changes in these latest textures are subtle as I like to keep to the game's original art work and also to keep the texture size small enough for people to be able to enjoy the mod on the widest range of hardware possible. Hopefully though the changes are noticable?

They're noticable, don't worry.

great mod, good to see support for me1. i am assuming there are no issues running the steam version right? i appear to not have any without tweaking or renaming any files. but then again that could mean texmod isn't even working for me then.

[Catechrism]

There should be no issues with steam once you get Texmod working with steam. There are a few tutorials out there on these bioware forums a good one is on the first page of the following forum link (plus the mods on this page are fantastic):http://social.biowar...index/5314761/1 .

To see if its working, load the characters pack (Pack 2) from my project page and just look at the elcor or volus in game since they are probably the most drastically changed with my mod.  If they look very pixelated/unchanged its not working. Good luck and let me know if you run into any problems...and thank you for the endorsment!

Here's my latest work on the Mako, it was requested, and I'm working hard but I'm not sure how I feel about it, feedback and suggestions for this one would be greatly appreciated

i figured, thanks for the link on getting it to work on steam. such a good mod.

[Catechrism]

No problem and thanks I'm glad you like it.

Update:

OK I've finished the Mako, and am still working on the Normandy, a few more tweaks to go...I should have an upload sometime tomorrow, it's taking a little longer than I planned but hopefully it will be worth it.

Here we go:





And as promised some time ago:




I have to upload these tomorrow but they are finished and you will have access to them in the next 24 hours

New Updates successfully uploaded:

1.Added Normandy, Mako, and Keeper Re-Textures.
2.Fixed Liara's Normal map to show up on unmodified bioengine.ini and modified bioengine.ini. by saving it twice as medium and high detail file names for the normal map.
3.Merged Garrus and the Turian Colossus armor into one download (they are still individual files).
I did this because of the 15 file cap of the site and I thought the files went well together.

Pack 1 contains environmental effects: (light maps, shadow maps, film grain, Normandy, Mako, and keepers).
Pack 2 contains all character textures: (Tali, Wrex, Garrus, Liara, Volus, Elcor, Geth, Colonists, Scientists, Saren, Udina, woman's shadow fix and the Council.

Or use the updated Mediafire link to get all the textures in one pack.

I'm not quite sure I see the difference between texmod and the fxaa injector.

It's both TexMod and FXAA injector running on top of it as a DX9 injector. Basically it adds FX anti-aliasing (lessens jaggies) and allows for custom tone maps and sharpening. Also you can add (which I did not) bloom, HDR, and sepia effects. It helps to click on the image and see the full size. I kept the changes modest because I don't want too much over saturation. But when I look at the contrast and color I like it better with the settings I chose in the FXAA injector than with vanilla ME1. Also the sharpening allows us to see more detail in the textures, look at the skin on the neck of the female colonist, faces of the scientists/colonists, and also Liara's face, those details are much more prominent now.  The AA can be seen nicely on the keeper and the Geth.  It just adds a new level of quality/polish in my opinion.  I like the crispness it provides with the AA and sharpening combined. I'll post some befores to go with the afters.

(I posted this on your Mod page before I realized you had a topic on it, so I'm just repeating this here for convenience)

This looks like a great mod, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have TexMod running with MassEffect.exe as the Target Application and your files in the packages, yet I still haven't seen any alterations and I know that my TexMod is still working because my other mods are fine, so I'm really confused as to what I'm doing wrong. I just downloaded your Mediafire complete package, but it didn't work either.

Although I'm currently unable to use your mod, I'm certain you can fix my problem and I can marvel at all of the great re-textures. After that, however, I'll probably want to try that FXAA Injector since it looks phenomenal in that Geth picture!


EDIT: It's fixed thanks to your advice. I was clogging TexMod with a couple of other mods that might have conflicted with yours, but now it's working and I can see the difference (especially with the Volus).

I have sent you a PM so we can troubleshoot, it seems like you have it set up correctly and since you can see other TexMods I have no idea what the problem is, but I'm sure we can figure it out.

Update:
Thats good news! Problem solved:D

Thank you so much for this, the horrid textures we were stuck with were the only thing I really disliked about ME, and now thanks to your hard work I love it all
Thank you very very much, very much appreciated!
