If you don't care, then keep your nose out of it. This is an awesome artistic endeavor by many folks and I applaud their work.

I think image 4, the knight, is from isle of the weeping stone (or is it a blue warrior.. I forget).

i still dont get it
but i want to ask someone who's done it
is it possible to extract a hairstyle texture from a campaign and put it on a character from another (for example nf ele hair on tyrian ele)
if yes i really have to learn and try it at least once

Yes, provided that the actual 3D model of the hairstyle is the same. I've stolen a NF Paragon hair texture for my Factions Mesmer (picture posted earlier) and a Factions Necro hair for my Tyrian Ele, which was easy since the base 3D is similar for both. TexMod only modifies the textures, so you can't actually switch your purple hairdo to, say, ponytails or a bald.

There are two things in question for that iriyabran.

One is about geometry, the second is about texture.

Think of it as geometry and paint. Sure you can apply the same paint to any geometry, but it wont always look right.

if your asking about changing the 3d aspect then no, thats not possible. What you CAN do is change the 2d aspect, the texture, which affects color, the way it looks and its how shinny it is.

You can either take the default layout of your hairstyle and bring it to photoshop and alter it, or take the hair texture of a hairstyle that looks similar enough in 3d space and substitute it for that and hope that it matches closely enough.

I hope that answers your question

I need help modding! Im considering reinstalling or repair installing guild wars to see if it will allow me to mod if i choose a different install. I can't get textmod to apply the mods to my guild wars client thru package mod even when i follow the steps correctly. Will reintsalling ruin my account or anything I have achived on my game? Or can some1 else giveme a reason to why the mods dont work.

All account information is stored on the server, so you won't lose any of it. On the other hand reinstalling GW is unlikely to help.

  • Files not used by the mod removed from the package.
  • Various buttons are now Dark Glass style when pressed.

Screenshots and download here.

Beta 5 will be the final beta. Party window in PvP areas will be fixed along with active drop-down menus and other unchanged interface items. New quest icons will be produced for the maps and compass and other small bugs will be fixed.

Any changes you would like, please post in the thread on my new forum here or email me at dfcowell-AT-dfcowell.com.
I love this. Very nice work. I prefer this to what we are provided in game currently. Once you have the Hero panels set I am definitely going to use it.

I really like the Dark Glass beta 4 too, my only nitpick is that some parts are incredibly hard to see.. Namely anytime you hover over a weapon, or someone's name, it's a bit too transparent. Check this example:


Now, I usually run with the chat box up, so I know the easy solution is to just close it. But that doesn't help for reading char names/titles/item descriptions in inventory, stash, or trade window. I haven't got around to loading up Texmod today to see if it's possible, but if you could make the backgrounds for only the items/char names and the like a slightly more opaque while keeping the transparency everywhere else, it would help the usability a ton, while still keeping the eyecandy.

And the mod.

Or if that's too shiny, here's a version with the head and end golden, and the rest left alone.



And the mod for that.

I never really liked the footprints in guildwars, so i decided to remove them.

This mod is tiny and simple, no need for screens, it just removes the footprints.

I've been wondering the same thing, my mod is just painted over the armor.
If you're good enough with a paint brush it looks real-ish I spose.

1. Make sure you capture the textures in .dds format.

(you may need this plugin for photoshop)

2.In photoshop, goto the channel view. You should see a Red, Green, Blue and Alpha channel.

3. The Alpha channel controls transparency, when it is black the texture is transparent. (Over R=100,G=100,B=100 the alpha layer controls shininess instead). The actual affect is probably dependant on the object, so results may vary.

4.When you save, make sure you have Explicit Alpha selected in the Nvidia dds options dialog that appears.
