Mass Effect - MERLIN (Mass Effect Restored Light & Illumination Natively) v.1 - Game mod - Download

MERLIN (Mass Effect Restored Light & Illumination Natively)  is a mod for Mass Effect, created by Catachrism.

Description:

This mod started as restoration of the light, material effects, and post processing to that seen on the visually more polished Xbox 360 version. many people are unaware that there are big differences between the PC version and 360 versions with the 360 being visually superior in many ways. This aims to correct as much of that as possible the mod is ongoing as some issues are far easier to fix than others.

While improving these dynamic lights, post processing, material settings, and particle issues using the games native engine (no re-shade or injectors) I also found opportunities to fix mesh lod issues like the Marines on the Normandy, Dr. Chakwas in conversation, and Lorik Qui'ins eyes.

The mod also provides options for more optional mods like high poly romance bodies, Tali visor distortion removal, and Ash armor consistency project (makes Ashes look the way she does in the video on the Normandy distress call-and also some prerelease footage and concepts) which should be used in conjunction with Mass Effect recalibrated to get her heavy armor at the start of the game.

All mods included are optional, those familiar with MEUITM2 will recognize the install style.

Due to it's .mem nature this can be installed after textures :O or before textures :O (but anything installed after could overwrite key settings). I recommend installing this mod last due to the bioengine.ini changes it makes to restore the dynamic shadows to their glory and in also incase you are using the Ash consistency portion which modifies ash's helmet texture.

Instructions:

Extract to game’s folder and run the installer MassEffectModder.exe

Install:

Using this installer last (after other DLC, controller, and texture mods) is required for lighting mod and Ash armor mod to work properly

To install run the installer and follow the instructions. (should be very quick unless modding a game that has not been texture modded yet-takes a bit longer due to remove mip maps stage).

Uninstall:

Restore back up or delete and reinstall the game.
