The TexMod modding tool was created by Racer_S back in 2006 at tombraiderhub.com for altering Lara's appearance in
the Tomb Raider games. Since its release well over a decade ago, it has been used by many, many gamers and modders
to alter the appearance of elements in hundreds of games. The tool can be used by mod creators to package altered
textures together to then share for others to use, or as a player to load packages made by other people.

TexMod only interacts with the DX9 API in regards to redirecting game textures in memory to textures used in the tpf
files. It is fully compatible with SweetFX/ReShade programs.

Simply:
1) Extract the Texmod.exe mod tool and the mod's "***.tpf" file(s) to any place on your computer
2) Launch the extracted Texmod.exe program
3) Select/Locate your game executable via the large folder icon at the top left
4) Select the desired mod "***.tpf" file(s) via the small folder icon in the center
5) Launch the game using the 'Run' button at the bottom of the Texmod window


Note For "Origin" users:

As far as I know, this method is still required to use TexMod with the Origin launcher.

There is an issue launching the game with TexMod due to how the Origin game launcher works, but the issue is easily avoided.
If your game is the Origin version, the Origin launcher is required to launch the game's executable instead of being able to
load the game on its own. This means TexMod cannot be used instead to launch the game.

i.e. "Origin > Game Executable" prevents "TexMod > Game Executable"
TexMod would need to be inserted between the two: "Origin > TexMod > Game Executable"
This is accomplished by a simple renaming of TexMod and the game executable so Origin will launch TexMod and then reverting the
name change and TexMod can be used normally to load the game executable.
- Rename your game executable from "Dead Space.exe" to "Dead Space-ORIG.exe" (for Origin/Original)
- Rename the TexMod executable to "Dead Space.exe" and place it in the Dead Space folder with the "Dead Space-ORIG.exe" file.
- Launch game via Origin so the TexMod exe gets loaded
- While it is open, rename "Dead Space.exe" (texmod) to "Dead Space-TEX.exe" (for texmod)
- Rename "Dead Space-ORIG.exe" back to "Dead Space.exe" and choose this original exe file with its original name through TexMod

If what I've read on this issue is accurate, when you launch the game via Origin then it will simply launch the executable
file named "Dead Space.exe", which will actually be TexMod. You can then revert the names of the executables to normal and point
TexMod to the normal "Dead Space.exe" game executable file with its normal name, then select your skins and hit Run on the
TexMod window to launch the game.

This renaming would need to be done each time, and then reverted after done playing, but it could be automated with a BAT file
or two. This way it can be done quickly and automatically every time instead of manually. Like one BAT file that would rename
TexMod and the original exe, then you load the 'game' (texmod) in Origin, then run another BAT to rename them back, then load
the game exe in TexMod normally. (Rename files > load game/TexMod in origin > rename back > load game in TexMod)

You can select and load multiple skin files (individually from different stored locations or in bulk if stored in the same folder).
The TexMod tool will also remember recently selected game executables and skin files for faster loading in the future.

However, take note of which skins you are loading at the same time and if they are for the same suit/weapon. The loaded skin
files are loaded in sequence from the bottom to the top, so the textures in the top-most files will take precedence.

Simply:
- Delete the Texmod.exe and mod "***.tpf" file(s) from wherever you extracted them to
