Flash on Whisper Mod - Guild Wars Forums

sunec · Sep 13, 2009, 07:57 AM

Flash on Whisper Mod or simply FlashMod is a nice little utility that I made that, as the name suggests, flashes the Guild Wars window whenever you get a whisper and Guild Wars isn't the active window! Just like Messenger, just without that annoying sound.

Often when you're on GW you are doing other stuff too, like checking Facebook, reading forums etc. And you might occassionally get a whisper in GW that you don't notice before possibly minutes later, which can be quite frustrating.

And that is why I have made this mod, so you will always know when you get a whisper, but not to the degree where you feel like smashing your computer because of stupid sounds!

It works like KSMod in the way that you put a file named Graphics.dll in your Guild Wars folder (where Gw.exe and Gw.dat are located) and then it automatically loads the Mod whenever you start Guild Wars.

This leads to incompatibility with KSMod so far, but if people want it, I won't mind adding support for it, as I do have a trick for achieving it

And just as a final reminder, this is a mod, and it will not give you any advantage what-so-ever in Guild Wars and can therefore be compared to KSMod when it comes to that.

Download: FlashMod.zip (Original version, no beep sound)

(Optional download: FlashMod with Beep sound)

Installation:
- Unzip the FlashMod.zip and you'll find a file called Graphics.dll
- Copy Graphics.dll to your Guild Wars folder (where Gw.exe and Gw.dat are located - in most cases C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\)
- Start Guild Wars (or restart it, if it was already running)

Please try it and feel free to comment on the mod, and I hope you will all like it and find it useful, as I find it incredibly useful myself!

Works. Neat gadget - looks to be clean (but I'm not the best at scanning these things XD).

Word. Now I'll never lose my favorite guild wars friends! ^ ^

Is there any possibility to have the file renamed? Because I really like the mod from Kuntz and that also uses the file ''graphics.dll''

Gr, Dragon ^^

BTW: very nice work ^^

It would be possible for me to make my Mod look for KSMod and then load it if you have it.

I'll work on it and have a new version up in not so long then!

nice job, i really like the mod. And would be nice if u could get KSMod to work together with your mod.

Prevents my game from starting in full-screen mode?
As soon as the game is supposed to launch, I get an error. Works fine in windowed mode tho?

Crashes my gw as soon as i load a toon.

I think a recent update broke it. I'm not supporting this mod anymore though as I don't play GW any longer.

Are you sure this mod causes your crash?
I just tried it and got no crash and a happy flash on the taskbar when PM'ed. I'm running on XP 32 bit.

Please try removing/renaming the dll and check if your crash is gone.

100% Positive, Put the mod in the folder, re stared, crashed... retried... same removed mod, no crash.
