Will the ability to make these .mod files ease the process of porting some of the textures for use in Mass Effect 2?

For some textures yes, but for others Mass Effect 2 uses different hashes, so I will just make .mods for ME2 in the near future, I just want to get ME1 done first.

And now BioWare announces that they're making some serious changes, namely to projects. Will ModDB still host your particular project?

[Zeros_81]

Just let me say that this MOD is fantastic, Mass Effect looks now awesome.

I Hope you could do the same for the second part

I've seen some experienced modders comment that the ME2 environmental textures were of surprisingly high quality and the game as a whole didn't require massive improvements.

Perhaps the proces to adapt the textures for console display was different for ME2, I dunno.

[Blad3Zer0]

ME2 could still use a bit of improvement, namely to hair, faces and outfits. A few have already done some changes on eyes, faces and hair but outfits are still relatively untouched. All it would take for most of those outfits is a simple port from ME1 and appropriate hash and image format changes.

Easier said than done though, especially if you mess up somewhere in the process. Some errors can't be reversed without a complete reinstall...

I downloaded the torrent, but the zip file only contains parts 2-9 and the exe file. Is this normal?

Only closer inspection, I notice that the exe is the same file size as the other parts, except for part 9. I'm guessing it contains part 1?

I've also been testing the enb you uploaded with ME2, and it looks great there as well

Thank you so much for this, this must have been a ton of work. My game looks amazing now.

A brief review of the mod.

First and foremost I would like to thank you for all your hard and quality work, effort and time you put into this great mod. I hope you will carry on with your enthusiastic work and further improve this wonderful game (series) to make it become even better.

After a year of not touching the series I found your mod via youtube and decided to install it and give it a shot. Actually I did not plan to make a complete run. I only meant to test it, but with your mod the game is so much better that I decieded to create my ultimate badass "paragade" Shepard guy (with the most badass custom face I could find in the face-database) and start a full completionist trilogy run. I got to say that the differece is not only noticable but your mod evidently brings the game to a whole new level. With it the game has a lot more ambiance, looks way-way better and it got a lot closer to the design and look of the two latter installments.

I did not notice any textrure glitches, missing or non-loading textures. There were a few instances certailny where I bumped into the old textures (most noticeably the geth ship in Ferros), but it's just mind blowing how many of the textures are retextured, more detailed and almost state-of the art looking.

The lighting of the game improved a lot. I mean a lot, and to me it was one of the biggest pluses. To me it changed the whole experience. I especially enjoyed the improved lighting, thus the improved color grading and the retexturing of the Citadel and the Normandy. They have a completely new feel to them. Oh and I enjoyed the new character lighting a lot. It's a lot more cinematic. There were a few instances where I experienced some shadow glitchis, like one where a small tree-branch shadow appeared right above Shepard's shadow which was following "me" around (until I reloaded a save game), but these were minor problems, and they could be unrelated to the mod.

The only real problem I had with the mod aside from a few sliding, cut short or missing voiceovers here and there (one or two, so it wasn't a big deal really) was that the game crushed quite frequently. It could be really annoying at times. Sometimes I even stopped playing the game because I totally fell out of immersion due to the constant crushes. Other times I could play the game for hours without experiencing any.

These crushes could be really irritating at times, but overall I got to say that the mod made the game and the whole experience a lot better. Thank you again!

Now I continue playing the second installment with the "Return to Darkness V0.2" cinematic lighting mod (it's great). By the way, ME2 could use some retexturing itself. Just saying...

¿The crashes happened in Noveria? Don't know why, but some people have problems here. Maybe the experiments there crash the game

But, overall, it's a marvelous mod. Really impressive. I keep playing this and I can't advance to Mass Effect 2 just for playing once more ME1 with your mod. It's vicious.

[Schother]

First of all I want to say thanks for all the hard and great work CDAMJC has done.
This mod is really great and it improves the graphics so much that the game is much more enjoyable now. I appreciate all this alot!

However I face a serious Problem with the Mod installed.
I have very anoying stuttering issues. It's not that my framerate is low or my PC is to bad but whenever I guide the character to (many) specific Points the framerate makes a big drop and the game stutters. After a second it goes high again.

This happens also at Locations when i move the camera fast that it stutters always when i reach a specific Point. However not everywhere.

Just to Show that my PC specs shouldn't be the Problem here the specs:

OS: Windows 8.1
Processor Intel i7-3930K 3.20GHz
Graphic Card: Nvidia GTX 680
RAM: 16.0 GB

I allready tried reinstalling the game and follow exactly all the steps mentioned in the read me.
I also updated DirectX. Used LAA and all the other mentioned steps I could find here in the Forum but still I don't manage to get the game with the mod installed running withouth stuttering

If anyone here would have another advise or tipp what else I could do I would appreciate alot.

Many thanks in advance..

downloading it right now,will give my opinion later

i dont know how to install this mod, i don't understand the full instructions of installing the zip files some one please help me

[AgeofTherion]

"Be sure when it asks for the directory that it is your exact path to the "Mass Effect" folder. "

where is this folder? and where do i install the patch to? where is it in ussers?

[NekkidNones]

Try searching for "Mass Effect", "Bioware", or "EA" on your computer. Should be easy enough to find. To search in windows, check the upper right of any window you have open, or search from the start button.

It depends if you have installed it from Origin, Steam or even without both of them.

If you use Origin it's probably something like: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Origin Games\\Mass Effect

For Steam it's probably something like: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\Mass Effect

Don't be confused if the (x86) after Program Files in the path might not be on your machine as it's just if you use a 64 Bit Windows installation.

But if you search for the folder via Starmenu or the Windows Search you should also be able to find it

Hope this helps.

thanks got it to work but the game crashes all the time anyway to fix this?

[Catechrism]

Directly from the readme:

Mod Troubleshooting:

Random crashing:
See Mass Effect troubleshooting first!

If all is well, check your bioengine.ini for typos as they will cause invalid page faults, missing mip level/lod/texture loads and many other random crashes. Better yet delete your Bioengine.ini and run the game, this will create a new one and will garuantee its free of errors.

If you still have errors, make sure you have applied LAA to Mass Effect.exe

If you have a 32-bit OS LAA can still help, but you need to do the following to allow 3gb usage "the 3.1 GB switch" in 32-bit Windows:

"Run Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu. Make sure to run as Administrator manually even if you are an admin on the computer, it requires extra admin rights granted by right clicking and running as an admin).
At the command prompt, enter:

"bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072" (without quotes)

Restart the computer"

Now LAA will work properly on 32-bit systems .

Hello, it's been a long while since I last checked this thread. Just wanna ask if the mod is finished now? Has everything been changed, including the weapons? I remember it only being the armor last time I was here.

[voteDC]

Really not sure if I like this mod.

Characters like Wrex and Garrus look amazing but my Shepard now looks a little 'off'.

Her lip colour that looked great before applying the mod now looks really out of place on her face and stands out quite a lot, even in the darker areas of the game.

Still this is just the one Shepard, so the next one I start will be tweaked.

[voteDC]

I've ended up uninstalling the mod. The improvements don't compensate for how weird my Shepard's lips look now.

When I start my next Mass Effect run I'll install it again with the intention of making a Shepard who doesn't have glow in the dark lipgloss.

[CuraeL]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, I havn't checked this thread for a looong time, but last time you were in the midst of converting everything. This is amazing duuude. Everything I could ever ask for. Cheeeeeers!
Happy new year also ofc.

[Darkwak]

I'm having a bit of trouble. I know for a fact that I picked the right folder. However, in the middle of the installation, the installer asks me to insert disk 6. What should I do? I use steam fyi.
Edit. Nevermind I solved the problem.
