The dragon thing probably faces the other way in ascalon city, so if you go up to it and look at the back of it the watermark will show. Thats my guess at least.

The loading screen isn't too hard with a decent graphics program. If you look at the list of player mods, there are several that change the loading screens. I am planning to change the crystal desert one any minute, though ^^. (Just remembered I need to get there, first :@)

I'd just like to let everyone know that xxod and I are combining our mods to make one pre-post-mega-mod. See here for details.

Great mod! It's like the Searing minus the icky searing part of said Searing, which is the part of the Searing nobody wanted.

Anyways, I haven't dled this mod yet, but I have a question. In many of those screenshots, your areas have odd lighting, almost fullbright.

Did you do some cheesy photoshop effect on your screenies, or is this due to the Old Ascalon lighting on Pre-Searing textures?

Cool mods, are you going to change fort ranik and other areas in post searing?

Are you going to make pre searing mods aswell? maybe give pre seraing a wintersday or halloween. it would be so cool...no pun intended
i would help but my comp broke

i had a cool Zelda mod i made with allsorts. Like on mission completion there was swords and sheilds from zelda. You could probably get some textures for the wintersday mod from the shiverpeaks and other areas

Great work! Nice Presear! Keep it up!

Hey xxod... do you know of a way to open TPF files and see the # of the images that in the tpf? (I am looking to find specific textures in a current mod but need the # of the images)...

fantastic, now you can escape from an escape from reality! now complete with an area that's been "seared" with nature! that's no impact hole, that's a nature hole!

Haven't found one yet! Maybe some Elite-programma can make one?!

At rest, i want to say that I'm not into moddin anymore, sorry :P Since I'm playing music with band, (http://nl.youtube.com/profile?user=WHPmusic) and this takes more time, and even more fun

So I thought, I could tell ya'll what I'm doing now. Nice to see the High-Rez mod! Good work! Nice input for the guildwars community.

Uhm, other thing I would like to say, that if you got questions or some other things :P you can post reply!

Heya all .
xxod you've done very good job . Ascalon looks much better then before you realesed your mod

. But... there is one little thing ... . How about completly restoration of Ascalon..? Why our lovely AN dosen't want to restore those what were lost during the Searing . Ofcourse Ascalon won't be the same like it is now in Pre . Some things will change. Well , you're asking me how to do that without changes in gameplay..? There is my answer : this could be avilable after finishing Prophecies campaign . Like HM . But post-Searing may still exist . You can choose that you want to be in post - Searing , or new-old Pre

. So you will see there rebuilded Fort Ranik( as outpost ) , Serenity Temple , Grendich Courthouse with village , Nolani Academy ( as outpost) ,Saderlac Sanitarium , Surmia ( as outpost) and all of this what were lost in Searing . But ofcourse what with monsters , Cartographer title and Vanquisher.? Ohh.. this new region will be absolutly self-dependent from these titles . Monsters..? Well , ofcourse players dosen't want to kill 1 - lvl skale.. as they were doing it in Pre . AN should contact with players who cares about Pre & Ascalon , and with the others , maybe should organized new contest to create new bosses , greens , who konows maybe even new gold , rare weapons.. . This new Ascalon shouldn't be a "n00b island" . This should be a new fantastic region with new bosses , quests , greens , golds . And it should look like our favourite old-Pre .

Well , I hope that I won't be banned for that .

This mod requires Texmod to run. You can get the program from the official wiki on this page. Just follow the instructions from there.

Very nice coding- but the whole blasted building thing takes a bit away from it. I mean, you have nice, pretty stuff, but in the background its still all death and destruction with people who look demoralized, and buildings that look like they were the target of a mortar barrage.

Not to nitpick as this was alot of work...

But the movie showed distant brown sections suddenly turning to green as you get close. That would suggest that "distance" textures haven't been replaced. (Yeah, they're harder to find I bet...) Any ideas on fixing this?

It's more a case of quantity rather than harder to find. There are over 2000 distance textures in ascalon alone and each one has 3 sizes. That's 6000 textures that need to be edited.

Hey, perhaps a nice idea to have pre-searing ascalon to look as post-searing ascalon?

That is very nice. I will Dl when i get home and try it out hopefully. I actually miss the "Old" Ascalon(Pre-Searing), but not enough to live there with a nub Char.

I don't know if anyone else has this issue but it seems rare even for me.

Most noticably if I have this mod running while in pre it starts covering the textures under my feet in this odd orange shading, I'll add a screen later if I get the chance, not a huge issue mod works

That glitch is a Texmod standard. Almost every mod you run will introduce minor stuff like that.

Hi RI,
This kind of 'mods' are very easy to make, soon i'll post a tutorial how you can make this. It's a bit tricky but if you've got Photoshop, DDS-plugin (nvidea) and texmod you can make huge reskinned worlds.

ps. Soon i'll release a AIR-based program for guildwars. Its a layer program which supports the player with wiki-based information, Guild Roster, Guru price checking, ingame clock and lots more options. maybe even a mp3 player

Next time i will post a screenshot of the program, stay tuned

Hello everyone!

Im bringing up a very old thread. Im going to make a tutorial how I have made this Pre-Ascalon mod, but theres more!

Since I have vacation now (1 week) I'm planning to make a new city mod. Now you guys may decide why and which city I should redesign. Then I could make a template for that town and with the help of my tutorial you guys can also mod a whole town/city! Great idea right?!

Looking forward to you guys!
