Pre Searing in Post Searing
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10205506 Not my own work, just linking it from guru 58.178.117.120 15:22, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[Mhelnos Smiting Bro]

I downloaded a few of these and extracted/zipped/[w/e they are under C-PF-GW...] I can't get the effects to work..
Hopefully it wasn't just error in my reading... but don't we need a script of some sort to make these mods work? anyone wanna give me a link to that?

Downloaded black bambi, xbox mod, and gold cape trim.. if for some reason there are specific scripts..
please break it down into a 'instructions for dummies' type of thing, b/c I am not to computer savvy when it comes to mods, paths, and scripts.

Thanks
MSB

[dies like fish]

you need texmod

[The undead Mesmer]

Oh also just out of curiosity could somebody test em on viruses and put up a list about it? I feel tempted to download a couple of them but I am afraid of the keyloggers ;) so if annybody feels up for the task they have my blessing.

Otherwise nice list :p

[Inde]

I'm not taking credit for these of course, these all come from the official wiki. I just figured, since some discussion is happening here on them in our Riverside Inn I would put up the list they have. I need to test links, redo some links etc.

[Theocrat]

Thanks for the list Inde. Now to play with these things on Linux.could somebody test em on viruses and put up a list about it?So you don't trust a list compiled by a site administrator, but you'd trust a virus report from some random poster?

Buhwha?

[xxod]

Nice list.. maybe sticky this?

So you don't trust a list compiled by a site administrator, but you'd trust a virus report from some random poster?
I think the files will be safe.. if you only download the .tpf file i think that it can't contain a keylogger, or is this false?

[Shadow Kurd]

I did put a note on top saying:

Note: The download link must link directly to a .TPF file. Archived files (ZIP, RAR etc.) are not allowed.

But there no way for us to check. Just don't download anything else than a .TPF file and don't open it with something else than Texmod

[Snograt]

This may seem a silly point, but I hope that everyone is aware that these mods in conjunction with TexMod only affect what you see. In other words, if you download and install the gold cape trim, the Batman shield and the Pre-in-Post Ascalon mods (for example), the changes will only be seen on your monitor - these are not things you can show off to other people in town!

Or, er, I'm a total numpty...

[AscalonWarrior]

Mods won't work with me. I'm using Texmod and I have DirectX9. Downloaded the Dark Glass 4.5, it didn't work. Tried a few other mods just in case but they just won't work :/

[Inde]

You may want to have a glance through this thread if you are having difficulty:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10173288&page=21

[pamelf]

Just a quick note to everyone, because I originally thought it was a game bug... If you use the clearskills mod there are no arrows to show what is a hex or an enchantment. They all show up as just straight skills.

[Arkantos]

Nice list Inde.

[leekanataka]

is there a way to change from tpf back to dds?

[Shawn The Divine]

Just a quick note to everyone, because I originally thought it was a game bug... If you use the clearskills mod there are no arrows to show what is a hex or an enchantment. They all show up as just straight skills.
I made that mod - It's supposed to be like that. I kind of figured people knew an enchantment or a hex when they saw one. The numbers on the bottom were removed for the same reason, thought they were redundant for anyone who's played more than a week or two.

Also Inde's post doesn't have links to the mod, just text, so here:
v1.2 - http://www.mediafire.com/?0ylm1md1c1d
sample - http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/f/f4/User_losershawn_Clearskills.jpg
v1.3 - http://www.mediafire.com/?71bg9dyw3c1
sample - http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/1/18/User_losershawn_Clearskillsv13.png

is there a way to change from tpf back to dds? No.

[The Sith]

Can i be banned with having Cartographer mod on?

[Shadow Kurd]

Can i be banned with having Cartographer mod on?

Of course not

[The Sith]

ok.. coz lot of friends say that ill get ban... so 100% not?

[sykoone]

As creator of the cartography mod, I can say with 99.99% certainty you will not get banned. I've had the mod running each time I start Guild Wars since it was first developed, and not even a hint of trouble from Anet.

[The Sith]

Ok! Tnx m8! .

[creelie]

Do the UI mods require Texmod?

[The Sith]

yes, ofcourse

[MarlinBackna]

Awesome stuff. I needed the cartography aids badly. :D :D

[Brett Kuntz]

Not going to list KSMod Inde?

[Savio]

The OP is just copied from http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide_to_modifying_in-game_graphics/Player_made_modifications. So if it's not there, it's not here.

[Ekelon]

I think it would be good, if the topic post was edited with information on how to download textmod. A lot of these cool looking mods have convinced me to get textmod. I know I can google for it and I have, but I think it would be helpful for other individuals.

[Trevor The Wave]

Uhh...says right here where to download it, and how to install the updates:

[Dallcingi]

Goldcape like rawr's does not work for me haha oh well. I am not 1337 enough i guess =p

[Motoko Kusanagi War]

to get some of these mods to work you need to have the right color scheme, so for the fake gold cape to work, you most likely need to have the same stats of mod that the creator modded.

[deadman_uk]

I have a problem. I use xfire and I like having it on when playing games to record my gaming history and also to chat to people who are outside the game. However with Guild Wars running through texmod, xfire doesn't realise I am playing Guild Wars. My game history isn't being recorded and I can't press Scroll Lock and X together to bring up the chat menu.

I would like to play Guild Wars using a few mods I like using but with no xfire support, this isn't going to happen. Any ideas what I could do?

[AaronSwitchblade]

Sorry if this is violates th TOS, but...

I'm a 3D modeller/texturer, and I'd like to model a Guild Wars themed location. Does anyone know how I can obtain the textures from Guild Wars to texture my environment with?

[sykoone]

Using the textures for another project would be a copyright violation.

[AaronSwitchblade]

Using the textures for another project would be a copyright violation.

I don't know about that. I don't intend to sell the models, or have them up for public consumption. I just want to model using the assets a modeller at ArenaNet would have - to go with my portfolio as I'm trying to get a job lined up for when I leave my current one. Obviously the source would be credited.

[Meilei Jin]

I had both the cart mods working fine but now they dont show any longer. Can a GW update mess a mod up?

[sykoone]

I had both the cart mods working fine but now they dont show any longer. Can a GW update mess a mod up?

Just completely close out guild wars, load up normally to download the update, then restart through texmod. That will fix the problem.

[John Panda]

I dont understand how to apply these to gw at all =/

[sph0nz]

You have to download Texmod. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:Kurd/Mods will tell you what to do. It's pretty simple, really. Open Texmod, and make sure it's in Packaging mode. Then click on the folder and select gw.exe; then you can select the mods (.tpf files) that you want to use. Click run and the mods should run.

[Coloneh]

I was wondering. i really dont know anything about the entire business of creating these mods, so this might be really impossible. but how hard would it be to make a mod so that your screen dosnt get blurry when your drunk. it would be alot easier to work on your drunkard title while playing without impairing your character.

Just turn off post processing. Then you won't get the blur.

[Ekelon]

Just turn off post processing. Then you won't get the blur.

And if you don't know what the heck post processing is, turn your graphics to low quality!!

[torsken]

i must ask, cant u be banned for using any of these?

[Whirlwind]

Use search omg !

This has been asked SOOOO many times hehe.... but no you can't just ask gaile.

hehe okay i did but found nothing really:P

[Koda Kumi]

There used to be a "use 3rd party software -> get banned" mentality at ANet. But they seem to have forgotten that now.

[mrmango]

Well it's not gonna harm any gameplay, and it's ok with them.
No ban.

[Laughing_Man]

so I read in another thread, after much searching, that there's a nude mod out there somewhere, but I can't find it. Can somebody point me in the right direction?:ninja:

Its called Google: Porn, sick perv

[Laughing_Man]

Its called Google: Porn, sick perv

Google gives me squat, just more pages of people asking for nude mods

[Laughing_Man]

alright...since nobody's got a nude mod, how about a bow range mod? Something that adds rings to the radar to show how far each type of bow will shoot. Or something that adds a ring around your character depending on what type of bow you're using to indicate ranges?

[Jesse]

im pretty sure that mods are against the ULA. so go jerk a wad somewhere else and dont play GW to get a stiff one and read the agreement once in a while. all in all.......HAVE SOME COMMON F**KING SENSE

[sykoone]

im pretty sure that mods are against the ULA.

Mods are allowed. Anet has given consent. However, I do agree that anyone looking for a nude mod has got some issues.

Seeing as how you replied to this in a thread that is already 3 PAGES LONG on the subject, including the FIRST POST, WHICH WAS COPIED FROM THE F**KING WIKI, I'd think YOU'D have some common sense and not go off on a rant about someone else's supposed habits.

I personally think that it makes no sense for the bland underwear to cover more skin than the 'armor'. 15k gladiator's armor, necro scar patterns, or monk tattoos anyone? it would make sense that if you were to remove them, for whatever reason, to have at least something skimpier on than a friggin robe underneath.

Besides your ideas about what issues I may or may not have (or what issues you have with my supposed issues) I am now concerned with the Bowdar as thunderai called it in a PM. I now see that it would be very difficult, if not impossible to do with simple graphics modding, as elevation plays a large factor in the range of a bow.

[dont feel no pain]

alright...since nobody's got a nude mod, how about a bow range mod? Something that adds rings to the radar to show how far each type of bow will shoot. Or something that adds a ring around your character depending on what type of bow you're using to indicate ranges?

that is indeed a very nice idea, but i dont think possible :(, we can put in spirit range because thats constant, but changing bows and a changing ranger probably wouldn't, besides after ranger for a while you tend to know your ranges of each type.

Could anyone with more skills then I make a mod that shows this?

While I have no artistic side at all I believe it should be possible if you make the deer/wolf/tiger/phoenix emote invisible and put a vin diesel picture on the rings.

No, it only changes texture, not model.

If anybody is able to send me a copy of the cape trim mod (it seems to be down atm) via email,provide another link to it, or is able to re-host I would greatly appreciate it. ^^

[NathanMurray]

Cool modifications to the game. I like modifications they are a real help. So we CAN'T get in trouble or CAN we. I read the threads and some say Yes and some say No.

[Motoko Kusanagi War]

You cannot be banned, those who say "No" ask for proof. You would have heard of getting banned by now.

I would.. but I need to get out of here fast, try searching for TexMOD, not "mode"... that could make things easier. I'll help later if nobody has by the time I get back.

Cheers!

The only problem I had with it was that in the Graphite theme at least, the chat window is completely invisible when you hit the button to scroll through it. :( Otherwise it's perfect. :)

[RavenGT]

Oh I was worried someone would nitpick about the damn invisible chat box. Oh and I submitted a release thread for the mod, but it seems like no one wants to approve it even after 48 hours? I'm a little upset, I was hoping the hard work would pay off. And now that someone posted it here....I don't know if my thread will go through anyways.

But I should be ;] because it seems like people are liking it. Cheers? Cheers!

It's not so much a nitpick, just that it seems to not really go along with the rest of the mod. Everything is made in the Glazed style except for the background of the chat box!

Plus on my screen it looks like the chat box has a dark bg in the preview.

<.<

[RavenGT]

Well either way, chat box background won't/can't be glazed ;p Still waiting patiently for a proper thread [fingers crossed].

I have a nitpick .. not about the chat box though. On the skills screen, the indicators for moving skills in and out of attributes, its harder to tell when you can and can't move points then it was with the original UI. If i had one request it would be to make it much darker when the option to move points isn't really there.

[Kain Fz]

I know it is silly to request mods, but can anyone make a texmod so Kaineng City looks more like a Japanese/Imperial theme instead of dirty rags everywhere? It really bothers me how dirty it is...

Yes, I have many ideas to improve certain things ANET was too dumb dumb for.

Echavold(SP?) Forest needs to actually looking like stone.
It is too green to truly been affected by the Jade Wind..
The Desolation is also kinda ugly. One moment its green, one moment it is bright yellow, the other minute it is black.. I figure it would be a wasteland, something like Old Ascalon, but more poisen-ish and toxic. Kinda like the after-math of a nuclear bomb.

some1 made a gold surrounding ?

i just want the surrounding, not all the cape of rawr :D

silver or bronze would be nice though

[gigahertz205]

When Im using the "Cartography Made Easy" mod, it seems to cause GW to take up ridiculous amount of memory, slowing down everything. Im not sure if this is just happening to me or what. Im using the elona version right now, and i use it when im vanquishing.

Any clarification would be appreciated.

[sykoone]

Texmod will cause a bit of extra memory usage. The more textures involved, the larger the mod, and the more memory it will use. The cartography mods use 70-150 textures, depending on the continent, so it's not surprising that there is more memory required while using this mod. It's an unfortunate, yet unavoidable, side effect.

[RoyalPredator]

Skyrook didnt did anythign i guess ;)

[sykoone]

No offense royal, but don't speak about what you don't know. I know full well how many texture replacements are in the cart mods. I'm part of the team that made them. Tyria alone has 152 textures. That's why the file size is so big, ~11MB, while most single texture mods are between 30-400kb.

[gigahertz205]

Its a good conjecture, but i dont think thats true. Under the Windows Task Manager, my comp usualy takes up 500000K under commit charge. With GW on it goes to about 1000000k. With Texmod, its about 1500000k. I dont really know how to read task manager to its fullest extent, but im sure this spike shouldn't be happening.

EDIT: To give more detail, it doesn't actually spike up to 1500000k from the start. It usually hovers at about 1000000k then gradually moves up as i spend more time in one area. Tried with other texmods, and the amount of time i spend in an area had no effect on the memory.

[DarkNecrid]

Bigger mods will use more RAM because your RAM caches the textures that it intercepts into DirectX etc.

[Whirlwind]

This is true, but an efficiently set up page file should pretty much eliminate any memory problem caused by it. A small partition of 2~3 gigs on its own drive, (well defragmented before page file size and location is set) is a good choice.

[Issac]

I can't seem to get any of the cartography mods to work. I dl them and then put them in my gw folders. Usually that does it but it not working. Any tips?

[MrGuildBoi]

You don't put .tpf files in the GW folder like hi-res mod. You have to use TexMod.

[Miss Drops Az]

Unfortunately I am wary of downloading texmod from anywhere these days /sigh.

[pamelf]

You need to load the mod into Texmod and then run GW through the program...

Right, because Official Wiki's plan is to bomb everyone's PCs instead of providing legit information and content.

Nvm, got the cartography mods working. Gotta say it makes mapping much much easier and more fun. I recommend it to everyone who plans on doing it.

If those glitches happen just minimize and maximize the game again and it should be fine. If it happens again, just rinse and repeat until everything is back to normal again.

Yeah that is exactly what i do ;) it does get annoying some times but it is easily solved.

I minimise, click the desktop and hit F5 a couple of times and then maximize, it is kinda routine lately for me to have that kind of glitch...

[Issac]

Ya, I learned about it soon after lol. When it happened I was like wow, now what lol. Lately it hasn't been happening that much.

[jimme]

Easier way to remove that glitch/bug whatever is by pressing F11 (Options Menu) go to the Graphics Tab, and uncheck Wait for Vertical Sync, then check it again. :)

[DarkNecrid]

While this isn't fancy enough for its own topic, figure I'd put this in here!

I made a mod for the skill "Whirlwind Attack" that changes it from the (horrible) icon you see in-game to the old (and much much better) icon it used to have: [Whirlwind Attack].

hey, i'm in need of a specific mod and i absolutely suck at modding myself. could anyone lend me a hand?

the mod i'd like is rather simple: a small window that displays the icon and remaining duration of spirits for a ritualist and ranger. this way, i could time my Life healing spike to the second instead of wigging it. of course, the window would only display the spirits i've summoned so far, and not the ones that aren't mine, kinda like how an enchantment is displayed.

help? please?

[Laughing_Man]

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that kind of mod may be against the EULA and ToS. Most of these 'mods' are just graphical changes that don't affect gameplay. The timers that you're suggesting would likely give you an edge that you wouldn't otherwise have.

Does anyone have the newest version of Mapping out (V4.0.0 I think) that can be used to install the program?

It seems that the Official site is down due to financial reasons.

The older version only has the 3 main games, but the newest one has EotN and the pet locations included aswell.

Btw, these are on the official wiki :ninja:

I'm not taking credit for these of course, these all come from the official wiki. I just figured, since some discussion is happening here on them in our Riverside Inn I would put up the list they have. I need to test links, redo some links etc.

Start TexMod in logging mode with another member, or several, of your guild present. If you have multiple accounts in the guild, that would be ideal. Repeat steps for editing capes as normal, but capture the textures from other member's capes. I don't know if there are separate textures for every other member(can't test; guild inactive), but it would be far simpler to just display the same textures for all the the other members, so I'm guessing that is done.

No matter who is wearing it, your guild's cape uses the same texture on all your members. Not sure if it uses the same one in PvP (red vs blue).
