Comments/suggestions/flames are all very welcome.

Moderators: I'd appreciate it if one of you go and virus test this so people don't scream foul, also I'd appreciate it if it could stay in this forum, although it'll probably get moved.

I'll be offering separate packages when I'm done, unfortunately it makes rebuilding the mod after making small changes a much more irritating process to break it up at this point.

Wow, Congrats to being the first modder presenting your work to the community. Atleast that I know of, but to me the only things of interest are.

- Critical Hit, 50% HP

So I suggest simply making everything its own package, as you probably will do anyways. That way people can be as picky as they want.

the 50% hp bar is useful for a lot more than ZB

great work here, look forward to seeing what else this sparks

just thought of a request.... possible to get HP #s on ally/enemy bars?

This isn't a virus. Also, it's cool. Pick it up and you'll be that much closer to being as awesome as Tiyuri, which is to say you'll still be really far away.

No.

This is cool. I have one idea you might be down with or not for the future: to put the out folder in a .rar before you pack them so people can also choose a "pack your own" version.

Cool mod, I particularly like the sleek UI and critical hit animation.

I've been having some really funky graphic glitches on the character screen when I run GW through texmod with these mods. Some pretty funny stuff, but it isn't hard to repro as hopping from full screen to windowned seems to really set it off but it doesn't always do the same thing. I have screen shots if you are interested (at one point there was so much flashing on my screen that my fiancee looked over and said "whoa is that the epileptic seizure mod?"). Is that normal for texmod in general (this is my first mod) or just a bug with this mod?

@Tiyuri you should check the party bars ... your hp bar frame is smaller than the hp bar itself (check edges)

second the 50% mark is kind of crappy because it appears on everything you focus -> like items or npc have a 50% mark too

and i ahve to agree with the others i realy would appreaciate seperated packets for every modifaction, cause i dont realy like everything but a few thins realy much like the ranger spirits or the crit hit animation .. well done

This doesn't modify anything in the game, per se. What the program does is redirect textures that gw.exe displays to the custom textures you've made/downloaded. The original data is unharmed. And the changes are local, so no one sees them but you.

Is it possible that these skins do not work for Windows Vista 64? I seem to be unable to apply any skin that I download.

Would it be possible to create a mod that would make "fog of war" coloured red or something? Would be very helpful for cartographers.

I've tried but I suck at modding, apparently. I'm good at loading them though

how about making a window that keeps track of who on the other team have died. Would certainly make it easier for spike-builds to target the easier to kill targets.

Maybe something similar to the party window, but showing enemy names with the number of deaths behind it and also allow quick selecting (same idea as with the party window, but then you select an enemy).

If you can get that to work, without violating anything that Anet has made, it would be very nice indeed

Check it out, I made a system where it compares your map with the map of a grand master cartographer.

All the green highlighted areas are areas I've yet to uncover (that are uncovered on the cartrographer's map) all the pink areas are areas that I have uncovered that the grand master hasn't.

that's nice and all, but it doesn't actually show what you haven't found yet, because it just shows anything that's not "uncovered map", including areas you can't even go.

Is it necessary to start GW through texmod every time to access the mods? I'm lazy.

Yup. Unless a shortcut can be made via either some programming, or just a BAT file.

I think its most likely that you will need to start Texmod everytime.

Good job man, I really enjoy the new stance animations, and the crit hit thing. Not to mention the effectiveness of the 50% line(tho a deep wound makes it useless), and I agree that adding a 75% or 80% one would be nice too.

I have a few questions about this mod. I am wondering as I have a strict policy against running 3rd party stuff that I lack the source code too so my questions are as follows:

1. Is this program a client hook or graphics wrapper?

2. Is this just a pak editing job of sorts as you might do for a quake engine based game.

3. If it is a hook or wrapper in nature does guildwars have any anti cheat sort of counter measures ie: you could be banned because of the way this modifies the game.

4. I am wondering what you have completely discovered can be modified client side. It is suffice to say entity position is transmitted to the client so I was wondering how much more is possible for an advanced radar or possibly other features that might improve gameplay.

5. I think after this basic info I might take a stab doing something of this nature.
