Version 2021.1.2

Corrected a mistake in Legion's texture
Updated Tali's texture to be more vanilla friendly

Version 2021.1.1

Overhauled Legion's texture due to popular demand

Version 2021.1.0

Initial release of ALOT and ISL for ME1, ME2, ME3
ALOT includes several dozen textures for every game, fixing the most glaring upscales in the LE with textures from the OT ALOT (LE3 Presidium sky, text holograms, Legion, Tali, EDI, Garrus, Liara, . )
ISL includes 40k textures across the trilogy, removing artefacts, banding and aliasing in static lights and shadows. The details of the workflow: denoising of DDS artefacts, antialiasing, 2x bilinear upscale for some added smoothness and finally storing the textures in a higher quality DDS format through MEM.

C REDIT : ALOT is a project that was initiated by myself, CreeperLava, but couldn't have come so far without the contributions of many artists, developers and the input of countless users. A complete list of the textures in ALOT and their respective authors is available here .

Mgamerz and aquadran developed and provided vital support for two essential tools used by ALOT, namely MassEffectModder and the ALOT Installer .

W HAT IS THIS MOD ?

A Lot Of Textures (ALOT) started as a visual upgrade of the Mass Effect Original Trilogy (OT) ( ME1 , ME2 , ME3 ), endorsed by Bioware as one of the main inspirations and benchmarks behind the Legendary Edition (LE). While much of the work put into ALOT was rendered obsolete by the LE, many textures remain superior in ALOT even now. These textures were ported to the LE to get the best of both worlds.

Additionally, the original ALOT's Improved Static Lighting (ISL) component was remade and vastly improved upon for the LE. Much of the lighting and shadows you see in-game are pre-rendered and stored as textures. These textures have not been improved for LE, which results in blocky shadows pretty much everywhere in the games (see screenshots). ISL fixes this by running the textures through a state-of-the-art, neural network-based denoising, antialiasing and upscaling process for about 40,000 light and shadow maps across the trilogy.

The ALOT project was featured on EuroGamer , PCGamer , DSOG , RockPaperShotgun , Kotaku , Gry-Online , PCGames , and many others.

I NSTALLING ALOT

The ALOT Installer you may know from the OT has not been ported to LE yet. You will have to use MEM to install ALOT. You can find a detailed guide here .
All files related to ALOT are present in this page's download section and can be installed independently from each other.

If you have any issues or questions:
First read the FAQ below to see if it is already answered there. If it isn't, come over on Discord and discuss it with us. You can also join us there to talk about ALOT, modding, or whatever you want :).

Unless otherwise mentioned, you can simply install the updated file by following the instructions in the Installing ALOT section. In some special cases you may need to restore your game to vanilla, if so the description of the file will say so.

F URTHER I MPROVEMENTS

INI Settings.
Optimal INI settings are automatically applied when installing ALOT. It is ill-advised to further change INI settings related to graphics. Full list of changes available here .

Driver settings (Anti Aliasing, Ambient Occlusion, Anisotropy).
There is no definite guide on this yet, but settings that can be changed include Anisotropic Filtering (set it to x16) and DSR (for antialiasing, since no other method such as SGSSAA will work on ME LE). Both Nvidia and AMD offer their own tool to edit these settings: Nvidia Profile Inspector and AMD Radeon Settings .

Recommended mods.
These are mods I played with and enjoyed, they're my personal recommendation. They are perfectly compatible with ALOT, provided you install them before ALOT. I also recommend using M3 as a mod manager to facilitate installation of the mods. It's made by Mgamerz, who also developed the ALOT Installer and features similar ease of use. Drag & drop mods to install, pretty much.

Expanded Galaxy Mod (QOL only) : Some quality of life changes to the LE.
EGM Armors for LE2 and LE3 : Ports armours from one of the most popular OT mods to LE.

To uninstall, you can either restore an unmodded (vanilla) backup, or remove the game's folder and reinstall it fresh. There is unfortunately no other solution due to the way the textures are built into the game files.

ALOT - наборы высококачественных текстур для первых трех частей серии Mass Effect.

Визуальное обновление под названием ALOT содержит тысячи текстур в высоком разрешении для напарников, объектов окружающей среды, оружия, брони, противников и много другого. ALOT также восстанавливает большое количество неиспользуемых текстур высокого разрешения из оригинальных игр, которые были скрыты в файлах.

Картинка игры станет заметно более красивой и актуальной. Неплохой повод познакомиться или перепройти современную классику.

A Lot of Textures (ALOT) - улучшение текстур также доступно для Mass Effect и Mass Effect 2.

Версия 12.0 от февраля 2021

The goal of this update is to polish the already excellent state of ALOT and to fix any remaining bugs or inconsistencies. There's really little left to work on now. Many thanks to the users who helped point out missing textures and helped testing the new textures (cristi1990an, Dwailing, Hadrorex, InfinityBeing, Nukleon, Paragon, ScifiIsMyJam101, STEVE HARVEY).
ALOT Installer has been updated to version 4. All credit goes to Mgamerz.
Reworked GUI for better usability
Better integration of ALOV into ALOT
Support for standalone installation of mods, without ALOT
Maaaany small improvements and optimisations, mostly in the backend
Added new textures that were still missing in ALOT: large computers, Volus NPCs, Krogan NPCs, Turian NPCs, main menu clouds, VI and Avina, Geth turret and armature, Citadel bridge and buildings, a bunch of chairs, a few computers and lamps
Fixed a vanilla bug whereby some Turians displayed weird jaw colouring

Completely new, massive overhaul of the game's static lighting textures. This improves the game's pre-rendered lights and shadows (lamps, shadows under objects. ). 14,000 textures in total across all 3 games of the trilogy. Don't let the file size scare you, any computer will be able to run it just fine, it's not costly in terms of performance.
200 environment textures (rocks, grass, wood, snow, sand. ) were upscaled 4x by JimbobJeffers and CreeperLava
High resolution textures for facial hair (beards, eyebrows) by JimbobJeffers
4K sky textures
New junk textures (computer parts. )
Reworked all 4K ME1 armors with updated AI models
Much better cluster textures by Mellin and CreeperLava
Improved MEDc armor
Improved weapon textures based on new AI models
Improved Galaxy map texture
Improved many clothing normals
Better citadel door normal
Various miscellaneous
Fixed red console
Fixed wrong rubble texture on Feros
Downscaled (I know) some textures to reduce RAM usage
Fixed vanilla bug: Earth is flipped on Luna
Fixed minor seam on sand texture on Virmire
Somewhat fixed flicker on weapons. The remaining flicker is also present in vanilla and would most likely require mesh editing to be fixed.
Various others, I honestly can't remember them all

Подробная инструкция по установке для тех, у кого инсталлятор пишет - игра не установлена (ME1 not installed). 1. Запустить Alot installer. 2. Выбрать внизу строку setting. 3. Внизу списка выбрать Games utilites. 4. Выбрать из списка крайнюю правую опцию ( MEM). 5. Из нажать на Mass Effect 1 и из выпадающего меню выбрать первую строку (Texture meneger)/ 6. Приложение запросит местоположение ехе файла игры.- указать вручную. 7. После выбора ехе приложение напишет о повреждении реестра и предложит восстановить запись- нажать yes. 8. После внесения изменений приложение начнёт считывать файлы текстур- на этом этапе его можно закрыть. Затем перезапустите Alot installer и следуйте инструкциям.

Game DATA not found

Решение: Заходите в MEM - Game utilities - Check game files - указывайте путь к игре

А мне выдает вот такое, и ничего кроме "OK" нажать не дает. Далее программа просто закрывается.

Решил проблемму. Нужно было прописать игру в реестр. Для этого пришлось создать файл с расширением .reg и содержанием

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Файл запустить с подтверждением операций по внесению изменений в реестр.

Обратите внимание, что путь к игре "Path" через двойные слеши "\\".

А чем он отличается от мода MEUITM?

Sidorovich12 весит меньше

Котик Даня Не особо волнует размер дистрибутива. Конечный размер текстур будет тот же.

Все таки для первой части говорят MEUITM лучше, на скринах сравнениях видел и правда получше выглядит, а для остальных ALOT само собой

Ну я в принципе согласен, ибо уже неоднократно проходил с вышеописанными модами. По сравнению со скринами "новой" игры".

This mod page allows you to download the standalone ALOT Installer, without having to download
the entire ALOT package. ALOT Installer can be used in 'Free' mode to install textures without any restrictions,
in the event you just want to install some .dds/.tpf/.mod/.mem files from developers.

Again, this is NOT the main download for ALOT. This is simply the installer program!

Q&A
Why is the installer named 'FreeInstaller.exe'?
This makes the installer boot automatically into 'Free' mode, rather than ALOT mode.

"Free" mode? This thing costs money?
It means "Free" as in "You don't have to worry about importing everything", etc. There's no restrictions
on what can be installed. The usual prechecks still occur, however.

Is this the same program that is included with ALOT?
Yes. They're exactly the same and will update the same as well.

How can I make this installer use the same files as the one that came with my ALOT download?
Set the texture library location in the settings. All instances of ALOT Installer will then use it.

Can I link this page as a requirement for installing my texture mod?
Yes. That's part of why I made this page.

How can I make my texture mod work with the installer?
The easiest way is to make your mod download contain a .mem file, which can be made with Mass Effect Modder.
You can run MEM from within ALOT Installer or from the Tools menu of ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. Alternatively,
you can distribute loose .dds files that are properly named (contain the target hash 0xHHHHHHHH in the filename),
or .tpf files.

Note that currently ALOT Installer only supports targeting vanilla textures for non-mem formats. For example, if you
make a texture mod for another mod that has it's own unique textures, ALOT Installer will say the files are not in
your game setup.

A future update will allow it to target modded textures.

Why is the download so 'out of date'?
The installer has an automatic updating mechanism. On first run it will automatically update itself to the
latest version.

Where can I get support for the installer?
You can get support on the ALOT Discord, which is available in the settings.
