Upon scanning treestruct Texplorer will create a file called “ CustTextures0.tfc” in “. If you scanned the DLC it will generate a folder in your ME3 install folder called “ TexplorerDLCCache”. Your treestruct will generate a file called “ ME3tree.bin” in “. You can pick whether to do a full scan including DLC (takes upwards 2 hours) or one for the basegame only (takes upwards 15 minutes). Upon starting Texplorer for the first time or on a fresh install, treestruct generation will naturally trigger. To make sure that your update is clean and to avoid any residual errors from the problems with the older REVs, here’s some info on the files Texplorer generates: This also because the newer REVs have a lot of updates to Meshplorer and as such anyone would only ever need to use ONE version to get everything working and/or create working mesh and texture mods. What I would advise is that, because of the incompatibility issues between anything created before and after REV 462, everyone update to REV 478 ( SVN or the SF release from ). Basically REVs 462 to 472 and the Sourceforge release can be considered blacklisted and should NOT be used. Now these issues exist between REV 462 and 472 and were fixed in REV 473 and the latest Sourceforge release. MODs has actually existed for some time but never was it so inexplicitly obvious. The backwards compatibility issue with texture. Because the basegame treestruct had a dependency so did all mods generated with it.

Scanning DLC creates a folder in your ME3 gamefiles called TexplorerDLCCache, it contains the ‘unpacked’ DLC content. TLDR: It would not generate the treestruct for Texplorer unless you were also scanning DLC or had scanned DLC in the past. This has to do with both a bug introduced in the treestruct generation and the loss of backwards compatibility through the use of a different texture replacement method.

There have been a lot of issues reported since rev 462 (SVN). I’m dedicating a post to explain what’s been going on with the current REVs of ME3Explorer and how you should go about updating.
