Then once all the details are added I load up the Character models into Photoshop and paint away texture seams as best as possible. This was all achieved by texture editing (up-scaling, re-painting, adding details, adding texture, adding pattern, and using that to rebuild spec maps, spec power maps, and normal maps). So far I have updated/re-textured: Light and Shadow Maps on walls and floors (Normandy Citadel and Feros covered so far), Kaidan, Tali, Garrus, Wrex, Liara, Saren, Benezia, Udina, Council, Anderson, Joker, Chakwas, Geth, Colonists, Scientists, Keepers, Normandy, Mako, many NPC clothings, Geth ship, volus, hanar, elcor, Salarians, Batarians some armors, default character armors including N7 armor (of characters re-textured) and various environmental textures. I'm trying to fix some of the "uglies" in ME1 and give it the polished look the epic story line deserves. Welcome Mass effect Modders and Mod users, Keep in mind that this is only a workaround solution, and BioWare will need to fully implement and fix controller support in order for gamepads to work properly on the PC.This guide will get you setup with Mass Effect Updated/Improved Textures Mod (TexMod free version) by Catachrism.
This is where you will need to do manual mapping, by pressing buttons on the controller to match buttons highlighted in the Steam menuĪnd that's it, we hope that this will help you with the issues you are having with the controller in Mass Effect Legendary Edition on PC.
Unfortunately, for all of these issues, it doesn't seem that there is currently a reliable solution. Others are saying that, although the game recognises the controller, it will spontaneously switch from a controller to a mouse, especially in the menu.Ī stick drift can also occur, especially in Mass Effect 1, so if you have this kind of issues, we advise you to play with the keyboard and mouse.
