Hey CDAMJC, I hope you don't mind if I ask: besides Avina, what else are you planning to add/modify in the next release of your ME1 texture modification?

Some armors, NPC clothes I didn't get to, I may do some more work on Tali, and hopefully a DLC fix.

Strangely, Wrex heavy mercenary armor is reaaaaaally low resolution. Not like your retex. Did you forgot about it ?

Didn't retexture heavy yet, just light, and I have a medium mercenary I posted shots of a while back that's not done yet.

Okay so I have a few questions/requests CD, Could you please update the texture on the turian phantom armor(Nihlus's armor that Garrus can get) and maybe the berserker/rage/Battlemaster krogan armors? Also, are there any plans on putting the unused armors in the game at any point (PC console only armors)

Awesome mod so far, enjoy everything you've added!

I have the Mass Effect game from the trilogy package, have applied the mods as per first page instruction, everything happened without errors until I started the game, which stops with this error:

Rendering thread exception:
Attempting to load unused mip #0 for Texture2D BIOG_HMF_HGR_HVY_R.HMF_BRT_HVYb_Spec

RaiseException() Address = 0x7c812fd3 (filename not found)

GMatrix2D::Swap() Address = 0x10da7b63 (filename not found)
Address = 0xe8781b4c (filename not found)

(this stanza is replied another time)

My comp is Intel E8500, 4 GB, Windows XPPro SP2, vid card ATI 5850, driver 6.14.0010.7261 (Catalyst 12.4)

Any help, please?
TIA, Lanf

Nevermind, I have mistyped this line:
TEXTUREGROUP_Character_Spec=(MinLODSize=256,MaxLODSize=4096,LODBias=0)

writing 512 instead of 256

My fault, sorry

Just delete your bioengine.ini and run the game, see if that helps, it will generate a new one error free.  If not follow the troubleshooting section in the OP.

If I have ME1 installed via steam, do I need to direct the installing thingii to somewhere else? The mod doesnt seem to work 100% for me, and CookedPC folder is around 13 GB, not 20 GB :( 
Please help!:crying:

The only way this could be mod related is if its killing your memory, and LAA should fix that along with the command tweaks we talked about in the PM.  I've done some research and the cmd tweak should work for XP.  If it's not RAM related then it's most likely a bad install or something corrupting your game directory.  The fact that you said reinstalling everything via Origin and then the installing mod fixed the crashes you were seeing until now tells me it's either install related or not mod related.  I don't know what else I can do, and these are the only crashes that I haven't been able to walk people through.

To further troubleshoot, run the game vanilla and load that save looking for a crash.  If it doesn't crash, install the mod to a seperate folder and do the copy and paste instal method.  For now don't touch the bioengine.ini to avoid any possible issues just leave it vanilla, infact before running the game vanilla delete the bioengine.ini to ensure it will be new. Run the game and look for the same crash.  If it didn't crash vanilla but now crashes modded apply LAA and the cmd tweak to get XP to access the 3gb of ram so LAA can work and then run the game.

If it crashes with vanilla at the save I would head over to EA techsupport and\\or google the crashes.  I know Mass Effect 1 behaves poorly/erratically with AMD processors especially on Noveria, there is a black square bug, you can google about and will most likely experience, vanilla or modded.  The crashes also could be sound related try minimizing sound hardware acceleration when running Mass Effect as it is picky with the sound cards it will run on.  One symptom is precisely the type of crashes you are describing.  It appears the crashes aren't texture related by looking at the names of the files involved in the report, and other than adding more demand on the system RAM and GPU the textures are the only thing the installer changes.  Given your specs exceed what is required to run the mod I tend to think its not the mod directly but either a memory issue, hardware compitibilty issue, or a bad install.

Please let me know how you make out so we maybe able to help others if they come a cross the same issues.

PS: I am psoitive the cmd 3GB switch (bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072) works on WinXP SP3 32-bit  because last year sometime I walked someone through it to get LAA to work for them and they said it did, also here is proof link

Sorry, I'm sure you've been asked this a million times (I only just realised this site had an ME1/2 forum) but are you making a TexMod -free mod for ME2 and 3 also? :)

Your mod is amazing. I installed it last night and have only gotten as far as reaching the citadel but I can see the difference like night and day. Astounding work!


Thank you very much :)

To answer your question:

Yes eventually but I'm still not done with 1 yet, and its my favorite of the 3 so it gets priority, but I would like to at the very least port what textures can be ported.

Have you used the LAA fix? the same thing happened to me while using texmod and i just applied Large Adress Awareness Patch (LAA) and it worked....

Edit: oh and i couldn't watch your image so i might be wrong

Looks like you need to apply LAA to Masseffect.exe I was getting error messages like that on the surface pro until I applied LAA.

Are there any finished, tried-and-true ME1 mods? 79 pages is A LOT to get through. Don't care what they do; just want to tweak this game so it can be as close to perfect as you can get with limited modding capabilities (I understand that you cannot add content to the game).

Oh wow. You're one of the big wigs, aren't ya? :P My apologies, but I'm bouncing around a few mod pages right now so I'm losing track of what you worked on versus JeanLuc761. Nevertheless, thanks a ton for the info! After a bit of research I've been left with two questions:

1) The moddb website doesn't include downloading the LAA patch link (and I was minutes away from accidentally not even downloading it). What does this do?

2) I'm having trouble keeping track of mods that are used in ME1 versus ME2. This mod, your creation (9 parts + a shadow fix), is for ME1, does not use TexMod, and is the only mod I should run with ME1 while most (if not all) of the mods that use TexMod are for ME2, correct?
