    Can you explain in detail how to install it? I installed it with ME 3 Explorer but it doesnt work for some reason, Clossus armor look still the same... I use MEUITM if this is helpfull.

    Edit: Never mind, I did it

      Sorry, I usually check on new posts once a week or smth like that, so couldn't answer in time)

      So, just for anyone else, here is how you install it directly into the game: you'll need ME3Exporer Binary_rev653, there you open ME1Explorer.exe and there in menus go for Tools > Texplorer. There first you'll have to build database, once its done replace HMM_ARM_HVYa_Spe_Diff_Stack (outer layer of the armor) and HMM_ARM_HVYa_Spe_Spwr_Stack (inner layer, the "yellowish" one) with textures from my file, though you'll have to extract them first... with texmod for example. And don't forget to rename them respectively!

      Would you please tell me how exactly you got it to work? I tried it with Texmod but nothing happened, and ME Explorer is totally foreign to me.

    You should provide more clear instructions for those who aren't modders.

    Does anyone know what textures the medium version of the Colossus armour uses?
     
    I tried replacing HMM_ARM_MEDa_Spe_Diff_Stack and HMM_ARM_MEDa_Spe_Spwr_Stack with the extracted textures from the heavy armour tpf, using ME Explorer, but all that did was make the medium armour completely black.
     
    Any advice? I really want to use this texture with the medium Colossus armour.

      They are not compatible, both textures and layouts(that what this mod replaces) are different in heavy/medium/light armors. If ur character can only use medium\light armor u can still put on heavy one thru the console

      Hi, I know this is an old comment but for anyone looking for solution you can put those textures on medium and light armors but it will look diferent because of meshes. Still I for one think it is very good because you can change whole collosus armor line for males. This is how I done it: Unpack .bmp from .tfp with ME3Explorer v3.0 stable relase (and only unpack), then you have to change .bmp to .dds (I used photoshop with nvidia plugin. Remember to scale the orange one (Spwr) to 1024x1024 pixels, before I did that i got black textures. Now Diff one (normal colored one) needs to be saved with dxt5 and interpolated alfa (dont forget to generate mipmaps) and Spwr with dxt1 with or without alfa (you have to work it out, I don't remember now anymore. Now you need to use Texplorer but from !!!ME3Exlorer rex718 build!!! (i got bugs while using v3.0) to add biggest image to apropriete armor. If you want to mod whole colossus line I recomend copying those ready .dds files in three versions (just copy paste nothing more, even in same folder just change the name or there will be minor bug). And that would be for it, hope it helps!

    Hi, is there any chance you could "recreate" this mod as "copy & paste file" version? also compatible with MEUITM, because I don't want to use it through anover programm (like texmod)

    or you tell me how you do that and I try it on my own (first I should learn how to mod ...)

    2nd question: is somebody interested in other armors? also from other games? or is this too difficult to mod in ME1?
    thanks

    You can still use texmod if you can't handle MExplorer, though texmod add some freezes to the game( There are more detailed manuals on how to use ME1Explorer(including creating database there) you can find googling, that I've posted here is a "shortened version" of the one I've googled actually. I think there are some video manuals on youtube as well.

      I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to replace the texures via MExplorer, and I've not been able to find any help online.

    This looks fantastic! Can you also do medium and light armor? And the female version?

      Can't say I had a plan on making L\M-armors to be honest, so no promises there. As for female versions there used to be at least 2 such mods. I remember seing them at old bioware forums years ago, not sure they can be found now though((

      I will have a look for the female versions but a quick look didn't bring anything up. I'd definitely be keen for a female version of the armor (even if it is just the L/M/H armors using the H onyx armor). The Colossus armor is so awesome, but I really don't like the usual colouring (especially when the Onyx has high-res textures with the MEUTIM)

      Well in a short and direct search I found links to the original thread, screenshot, and download of the female version Divinity mentioned. Unfortunately all 3 links are dead.

      Source:
      http://www.shsforums.net/topic/34783-mass-effect-pc-modlist/

      After a few hours checking for alternative sources of the files after having picked up the name of the creator (Klyst) unfortunately I have to conclude unless you know someone who has them they appear to have disappeared from the net.

      That's a real shame - I really like the look of the above mod, and have always hated that the Colossus armor low-res especially next to MEUITM. Will keep an eye out to see if someone expands the mod one day.

      I tried making my own, but no matter what I try the textures come out black in-game, and making a .tpf does nothing, it all just stays the same. Really annoying, I hate the look of the Colossus but it's the best armor in the game
