Re: origin deleting texmod

Not sure if this will help, but I've attached a pdf to this post with a manual I created years ago to help explain how to use Texmod with ME3 and Origin.

thanks @sundance31us using texmod isn't the actual problem. It is disappearing from my win32 folder when i try to run ME3 through it.

I tested Texmod just now on ME3 and it runs flawless for me.

The problem might be that you chance the files extension, (masseffect3.fff).

Try to rename the "MassEffect3.exe" to "MassEffect3_bak.exe" and try again.

How do you rename the executables, with a batch?

I use the following bat file to do the renaming: (This was created by Black Angel One)

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Run Mass Effect 3 with Texmod?
SET /P X=(Y)es or (N)o?
IF /I "%X%"=="Y" goto :Yes
IF /I "%X%"=="N" goto :No
GOTO END

:Yes
ren "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32\MassEffect3.exe" "MassEffect3_tmp.exe
ren "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32\Texmod.exe" "MassEffect3.exe"

ECHO Files renamed! Please start now your Mass Effect 3 in Origin.
PAUSE

ren "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32\MassEffect3.exe" "Texmod.exe"
ren "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32\MassEffect3_tmp.exe" "MassEffect3.exe"

ECHO Filenames restored! Now you can start Mass Effect 3 with use of TexMod.
PAUSE

GOTO END

:No

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32\MassEffect3.exe"

:END

To create the bat file I copied the code above into Notepad (I prefer to use Notepad++), saved and then changed the .txt to .bat

Note: If your game is saved in a different file from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32" you'll want to change that information in the txt file.

I've attached a manual I created a that shows how to use the bat file.

With the Texmod dialogue box all set to go, all you have to do is press "Run"...have you tried coping a fresh Texmod.exe into your "Win32" file?

okay i tried using masseffect3_bak.exe and it still didn't work. I'm beginning to think it may be a situation for my computer guy.

It's working :eahigh_file:😃
