Modding your own GW

1) Where's the nude female mods?

2) Is there a texture for the FULL map?

Not sure where I'm going with this yet, but just getting an idea for mapping purposes.

Wish I could go back to pre to charm a bear. I'd love to turn him into a polar bear.

The textures used for clothes, face, skin and hair seem to be sort of piece-mealed together in memory. If you mod, say, your top, then you change your gloves, it reloads the original top texture and your change is gone. Altering your charaters appearance will only work if you plan to only wear 1 outfit all the time.

I already made a polar bear mod. I really want to do a panda, but for that I want the existing in-game panda texture, which would require having access to the one quest where a panda shows up. If anybody wants to roll up a canthan noob ranger and play up to that point I'd be greatful. IGN is Ms Massacre if you have that quest and want to contribute to a panda patch.



Gaile- Nothing easier! What kind of kitty do you have? A stalker? You want the whole thing lavender?

This is my UI so far:



however i want to add the 50% and 80% marks to the health. Can someone please tell me the code to the texture and how to modify it? it would be greatly apreciated, thanks

So any chance of making that mod available? I know my rangers would love to have polar bears following them around.

How did you modify the text on the chat bar to show what each tab is? I'd like to do that for my game too.

I also am interested in what was modded to add the strip to the health bar and if anyone has figured how to do that to the main health bar and not just the party bars. I'm shooting for making it stand out more but can't figure out how whoever did that, well, did that

more messing with the skill animation then the ui right now XD


I've found most of the skill for 3 ranger build and i've found the arrow animation :O I turned my poison one into pink and the basic one into blue/frost arrow


this is what an arrow icon look like

couldn't resist...

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH that first pic = best so far in this thread... im still laughing and I saw it 5 minutes ago!

would it be possible since you can mod the mini pets to take the mini pet and make it look like the celestial pig? if so can someone try it for me and post a download link?

This'll be a weird request.

Quartz has high resolution skill icons, but what about...high detailed skill icons? It's a little known secret but we get what I would call "low detailed" skill icons in game.

For example:
In-Game: http://gw.gamewikis.org/images/8/8a/Life_Siphon.jpg
High Detail: http://www.guildwars.com/images/prof...lifesiphon.jpg

In-Game: http://gw.gamewikis.org/images/4/44/Fireball.jpg[/img]
High Detail (Harder to notice, their is stuff coming off to the back from the sides: ) http://www.guildwars.com/images/prof...t/fireball.jpg

In-game: http://gw.gamewikis.org/images/5/54/Sever_Artery.jpg
High Detail (sharper sword) : http://www.guildwars.com/images/prof...everartery.jpg

DUDE I'm totally making a white tiger pink! :: squeals ::

@Dark
If you can provide me with a set of skill icons you would like to use I could have it done within the hour, just post a link in this thread, couldn't find a full set where you were getting those ones you posted.

for some reason i cant mod

its really pissing me off, its all fine till i try to use the 'log with' ley, i've tried all of them from F1-F8 but whenever i press it nothing happens its getting on my nerves, its not in the file i ask to send it to and i even tried changing that...

Ok i can't seem to get it to work, I'm following this guide 'http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide_to_modifying_in-game_graphics'
to add the mods wich Ailia has made.
I only want the following mods 'AilHealthv2.tpf' and 'AilRadarv2.tpf', but when i click 'run' on 'texmod', Guildwars will load normally and when I login, I don't see any differences. Do I need to run every single mod of the package of Ailia or am I doing something wrong?
I really just want those 2 mods, so if anyone can help me out here I'll be very thankful.

If I'm right, you could find the icons just here:

This looks a lot of fun. But I would like a definitive statement that AN have checked the tool for both spyware and it's use is compliant to the EULA, as I have seen conflicting reports.

E.g from Gaile
" am glad this was resolved happily. And yes, I did respond to your PM about 30 hours ago, but the forum must have timed out because I do not see it in the Sent folder after all. And no, we do not work on the 4th, which begs the question of why I'm here, now, but we'll not go into that. --Gaile 00:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

To all modders: It's important to note that the parameters concerning the use of third-party programs do still apply. We cannot condone the use of such programs, and we cannot support the accounts of those who may be negatively impacted in using such programs. That's called the "If it eats your hard drive and blows up your refrigerator, don't call us" policy.

Honestly, though, as previously stated, it is unlikely that we would actively pursue or action those who use such programs in a positive manner, that is, those whose only interest is creating benign mods of our games. Keep in mind that occasionally people get creative and might bring up the use of a harmless program to attempt to mask other harmful activities. We see that with other situations, such as where they say "But I was only using an alternative OS, why was I blocked?" and we discover they are using major bot programs.

If you feel that this creates a "mixed message," then I guess we should discuss that concern. I can understand where the strict "Don't do that" is clearer than "We can't say you can do that, but we won't take action if you do choose to do it." There are some cases where it's not black and white. One example that comes to mind is the use of emulators to play Guild Wars. We develop only for the PC, but others play on other systems and that's totally ok. However, if they develop difficulties, our Support Team is not available to help them resolve those issues. So we don't prohibit the alternative, we simply decline to support it.

What I want to say above all about this matter is that if you're going to mod, have fun, but do stick with the benign and positive uses of the programs and create mods that impact the game only in ways that are fun and harmless. If there's more information to share, I will do so as soon as it becomes available to me. --Gaile 00:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC) "


And from Support i've seen one that says no

"Response (GM ******) 07/04/2007 01:15 PM
Hello ******,

Thank you very much for contacting the Guild Wars Customer Support Team. Unfortunately we can’t give a definitive answer regarding this issue, as we would have to check and verify every single occurrence.

However, in compliance with the User Agreement:

3. LICENSE TO USE
(…)
You may not (…) (b) modify, adapt, reverse engineer or decompile the Software (…)

We would strongly advise you to not attempt to change any textures if you does not want to risk your account being closed.

Please contact us if you have any more questions, and thank you for supporting Guild Wars.

I would really love to mess about with this, but i've spent too many hours to have it ruined.

Yeah man the entire program is spyware, thats why people have been using it for a couple years just fine.

And heres the problem here:
"3. LICENSE TO USE
(…)
You may not (…) (b) modify, adapt, reverse engineer or decompile the Software (…)"

You aren't modifying the software. In fact, you don't even do anything with the software. All the mod does is splice in different images over what is already there pretty much. And you aren't doing the later.

Gaile has pretty much "asked" for a mod, and Emily and Gaile said it was ok, and Emily got here confirm from the freaking FOUNDERS of Anet.

So.

IMO:
HUMAN BEINGS > AUTOMATED RESPONSES

Also:
Ailia, I PM'd you.
