Quick question: When I zoom far out the armors go back to low rez or however you want to call it version (they did this with base gw too), I assume this is normal/it is running fine, right? Because they are high rez for everyone in towns etc otherwise.

But really, thanks so much for this mod. I read you don't play anymore, and I am just amazed that you keep working on this mod for us even if you don't use it yourself. That's a lot of dedication and kindness, so thank you so much!

Yes that is normal. As the camera moves away from objects, they are replaced with lower polygon, lower resolution textured objects. It is thought that since the object is far away from the camera, it doesn't need to be of high detail since it's unlikely you'll notice anyways.

I am working on an update to KSMod that will freeze the level of detail to 'high', but it is a difficult one to do, and I may not get it working right.

Wow, that would be awesome and would also fix a lot of minor glitches appearing while zooming out. KTY if you manage to get it working properly.

Thanks, you're doing an amazing job on KSMod.

Just a heads-up, I updated my KSMod to 2.6, when I load GW using the KSMod launcher it says "error loading KSMod: 3 - 00000005," and neither the high-def armor textures nor the kill counts are present when I'm on.

Not sure if it's only me... but yes, all other armor's gone blurry in towns again :sad:

It seems you are not logged in as an Administrator, or some other permission has been set that is denying KSMod the ability to open the GW process.

hey I got a question. When you talked about making distant objects stay on high detail, did you add that with the last update? Considering I'm on a 6600, I had a hard time trying to run this lately and wondered if you had any other options available?

I asked about this earlier, having the draw distance increased and detail remain at high. I hope this can be added!

I just updated KSMod and noticed there is a KSMod.exe file. Since I use both Texmod and KSMod, am I now unable to run them both at the same time? I tried loading KSmod.exe instead of GW.exe inside Texmod but it doesn't appear to load my tpf files....

That update hasn't been finished or added yet.

Load Textmod first and then load KSMod.exe once you're at the login screen (or later).

I could believe that but I almost want official confirmation by Kuntz that this isnt gonna steal my game account.

I mean, it makes sense since it hooks onto your .dat file....but still....you just never know.

I just downloaded KSMod from the site and it still scans clean and has been unmodified since I originally uploaded it.

DLL: http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanre...663234904f89b9

EXE: http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanre...64d8ccea3f0a9b

If you want a free and great virus/spyware/malware scanner, use the new one from Microsoft, I love it:

http://www.microsoft.com/security
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

It's called Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE)

It's common for many virus checkers to flag anything that modifies the memory of another executing program.

I contacted Avira and sent them ksmod.exe. They said this:

Quote:

The file 'ksmod.exe' has been determined to be 'FALSE POSITIVE'.In particular this means that this file is not malicious but a false alarm.Detection will be removed from our virus definition file (VDF) with one of the next updates.

This is good news!!

Has anyone had any problems with KSMod crashing your GPU lately? I launched GW today with it on for a change and my GPU whent ABSOLUTLEY bonkers, multi-colord pixlels and flashing all over the place. I'm not sure if KSMod did this or I just had to shift things around; I removed my ram and GPU, dusted off it all (A LOT in the GPU) and reseated everything and it seems to be stable (knock on wood).

Like I said, I dont know if this has to do with KSMod and Win 7/ GTX200 series cards or not.

Rightclick on your gw shortcut on your desktop or wherever and you'll see in the target box something like

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"

At the end of it put a space and type -image

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image

Hit apply and when you start GW it will download all the files you are missing. When its done it will exit. Just go back in and remove -image and you're all set.

From what I understand KS mod could not cause that did you try it again?

Ah ok , I always do that when installing gw for the first time , I though I needed to add that command line to the KSmod.exe or in the ini file.

Thank you

i have a question. when using texmod, for other advantages, such as crystal windows, clear skills ect.. im forced to choose between the ks mod and texmod, is there a simple way to run both?

i LOVE hearing the kill sounds goin off in pvp, but i dont want to sacrifice the other UI enhancements when using it.

forgive me if its been covered already, stopped reading about 5 pages in. lol

Of course, just run the game with Texmod then run the ksmod.exe while in game. you just need to rezone or map somewhere else for it to take effect.

If you want to get rid of those texture errors made by Texmod, you can simply minimize and maximize the screen. Don't need to do anything drastic like restarting the game :P.

As for volume, uhhh I don't know lol.
