Pre Searing in Post Searing
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10205506 Not my own work, just linking it from guru 58.178.117.120 15:22, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I downloaded a few of these and extracted/zipped/[w/e they are under C-PF-GW...] I can't get the effects to work..
Hopefully it wasn't just error in my reading... but don't we need a script of some sort to make these mods work? anyone wanna give me a link to that?

Downloaded black bambi, xbox mod, and gold cape trim.. if for some reason there are specific scripts..
please break it down into a 'instructions for dummies' type of thing, b/c I am not to computer savvy when it comes to mods, paths, and scripts.

Thanks
MSB

you need texmod

Oh also just out of curiosity could somebody test em on viruses and put up a list about it? I feel tempted to download a couple of them but I am afraid of the keyloggers so if annybody feels up for the task they have my blessing.

Otherwise nice list

I'm not taking credit for these of course, these all come from the official wiki. I just figured, since some discussion is happening here on them in our Riverside Inn I would put up the list they have. I need to test links, redo some links etc.

Thanks for the list Inde. Now to play with these things on Linux.

So you don't trust a list compiled by a site administrator, but you'd trust a virus report from some random poster?

Buhwha?

Nice list.. maybe sticky this?

I think the files will be safe.. if you only download the .tpf file i think that it can't contain a keylogger, or is this false?

__________________

Click signature for more info

I did put a note on top saying:

Note: The download link must link directly to a .TPF file. Archived files (ZIP, RAR etc.) are not allowed.

But there no way for us to check. Just don't download anything else than a .TPF file and don't open it with something else than Texmod

This may seem a silly point, but I hope that everyone is aware that these mods in conjunction with TexMod only affect what you see. In other words, if you download and install the gold cape trim, the Batman shield and the Pre-in-Post Ascalon mods (for example), the changes will only be seen on your monitor - these are not things you can show off to other people in town!

Or, er, I'm a total numpty...

Mods won't work with me. I'm using Texmod and I have DirectX9. Downloaded the Dark Glass 4.5, it didn't work. Tried a few other mods just in case but they just won't work :/

You may want to have a glance through this thread if you are having difficulty:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...173288&page=21

Just a quick note to everyone, because I originally thought it was a game bug... If you use the clearskills mod there are no arrows to show what is a hex or an enchantment. They all show up as just straight skills.

Nice list Inde.

is there a way to change from tpf back to dds?

I made that mod - It's supposed to be like that. I kind of figured people knew an enchantment or a hex when they saw one. The numbers on the bottom were removed for the same reason, thought they were redundant for anyone who's played more than a week or two.

Also Inde's post doesn't have links to the mod, just text, so here:
v1.2 - http://www.mediafire.com/?0ylm1md1c1d

No.

Can i be banned with having Cartographer mod on?

Of course not

ok.. coz lot of friends say that ill get ban... so 100% not?

As creator of the cartography mod, I can say with 99.99% certainty you will not get banned. I've had the mod running each time I start Guild Wars since it was first developed, and not even a hint of trouble from Anet.

Ok! Tnx m8! .

Do the UI mods require Texmod?

yes, ofcourse

Awesome stuff. I needed the cartography aids badly.

Not going to list KSMod Inde?

The OP is just copied from http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide..._modifications. So if it's not there, it's not here.

I think it would be good, if the topic post was edited with information on how to download textmod. A lot of these cool looking mods have convinced me to get textmod. I know I can google for it and I have, but I think it would be helpful for other individuals.

Uhh...says right here where to download it, and how to install the updates:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide...-game_graphics

Goldcape like rawr's does not work for me haha oh well. I am not 1337 enough i guess =p

to get some of these mods to work you need to have the right color scheme, so for the fake gold cape to work, you most likely need to have the same stats of mod that the creator modded.

I have a problem. I use xfire and I like having it on when playing games to record my gaming history and also to chat to people who are outside the game. However with Guild Wars running through texmod, xfire doesn't realise I am playing Guild Wars. My game history isn't being recorded and I can't press Scroll Lock and X together to bring up the chat menu.

I would like to play Guild Wars using a few mods I like using but with no xfire support, this isn't going to happen. Any ideas what I could do?

Sorry if this is violates th TOS, but...

I'm a 3D modeller/texturer, and I'd like to model a Guild Wars themed location. Does anyone know how I can obtain the textures from Guild Wars to texture my environment with?

Using the textures for another project would be a copyright violation.

I don't know about that. I don't intend to sell the models, or have them up for public consumption. I just want to model using the assets a modeller at ArenaNet would have - to go with my portfolio as I'm trying to get a job lined up for when I leave my current one. Obviously the source would be credited.

I had both the cart mods working fine but now they dont show any longer. Can a GW update mess a mod up?

Just completely close out guild wars, load up normally to download the update, then restart through texmod. That will fix the problem.

I dont understand how to apply these to gw at all =/

You have to download Texmod. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:Kurd/Mods will tell you what to do. It's pretty simple, really. Open Texmod, and make sure it's in Packaging mode. Then click on the folder and select gw.exe; then you can select the mods (.tpf files) that you want to use. Click run and the mods should run.

I was wondering. i really dont know anything about the entire business of creating these mods, so this might be really impossible. but how hard would it be to make a mod so that your screen dosnt get blurry when your drunk. it would be alot easier to work on your drunkard title while playing without impairing your character.

Just turn off post processing. Then you won't get the blur.

And if you don't know what the heck post processing is, turn your graphics to low quality!!
