Nvm, I got it to work. I decided to re-copy the .dll and the .ini file to my gw folder after doing the "-image" thing and now it loads without a problem. Thanks for all you efforts kunt0r, your mod makes the game more fun to play fer sure. Although I'm still trying to find a group of critters large enough to kill all at once and hear "Godlike!" without anything before it. Any suggestions?

Today's update seems to have disabled UT sound effects. I have an error message to the effect of: "Unable to enable UT99_Sound_FX" or somesuch. High-res textures still work.

Well, the 5000 other people that have downloaded it havent been hacked... so I think your fine. -_-

The files aren't even .exe or anything, there just two little files. 1's a 2 line text thingy, other contains the ut sounds and code. and thats all

Not sure if you can hear "Godlike!" right away with a large enough BOOM! on mobs. For some reason, the sound effects don't work when I'm out Vaettir Farming on my ele.

But for sizeable, easy mobs to easily reach "Godlike!", there's that Service: In Defense of the North quest and also those marching Charr outside Gunnar's Hold.

K, now it doesn't matter what I do or how I do it. Every time I load GW I get the same window popping up.



I've done the -image thing.
I've defragged the .dat file over and over.
I've tried doing the -image thing and then adding the 2 ksmod files.
I've tried adding the ksmod files and then doing the -image thing.

And I still get the same error window popping up. I'm going to try and see if it's a driver related thing and get back to you on it.

Anyone else having this problem or have had this problem in the past and know how to fix it? I need help, I miss the UT sounds.

And for some reason across the top of the error box it says version 2.1, but I have the 2.2 installed......

If you'd bother to actually read the error box, it says the problem is due to a GW update, and to check the site for a new version. This has happened before. Sometimes when Anet does an update, it changes something required to make the mod function properly. Just give him time to make an adjustment and post a new working version. No need to do anything else but wait.

Um, ya, I actually did read the error box. But if you had actually bothered to read previous posts, you would have seen that this error had occured before. I fixed it by using the -image command line and then re-installing the files to my gw directory. Problem solved. But it doesn't currently work the same way. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem and was able to fix it.

Ya, me too. I've tried everything I can think of. I guess we just have to wait for kunt0r to do an update.

Still gives a message and even worse, now my GW crashes all the time. Don't install last version...


edit: Confirmed, after turning off the mod, everything works. Oh, and the sound file is corrupted. Anyone has the 2.1 version so I can install it?

The graphics mod should still work if you hit "Yes" on that box, but the update on May 8th, 2008 messed up something and the coding doesn't operate correctly anymore in KSMod. It shouldn't be much of a problem and the only effect is that the UT sounds won't work. It shouldn't effect the way GW runs either. We just have to wait for kuntz (who doesn't play this game anymore) to find time to update it or wait for someone else with knowledge of how this mod works to find a fix.

Hey guys, FYI someone has been trying to log into my Guru forum account (IP: 213.98.218.28) lately, so be careful what you download from now on that has my name on it, even if it's from this account. My password is strong, but you never know. I think I still have GW installed, so I'll try and update KSMod so it works again when I get some time. Always remember, the mod will just be a simple DLL & INI file, and the filesize of the DLL should never change from what it currently is (give or take 512 bytes). And it will NEVER be an EXE. And it wont be hosted on any other site/domain other then k-u-n-t-z.com

Love the mod, specifically the High Res textures (disabled the sounds, just don't find they fit this game). I've been looking for ways to improve the graphics in Guild Wars and this just became my #1 mod for the game. With my older graphics cards that struggled to run Guild Wars it might not have been a good idea to run this....but with my rebuilt system (went from a P4 with a 9700 Pro to a Core2Duo with a 8800GT) the game runs great maxed out...so I was looking for something to push it a little further. This is just what the doctor ordered! Thanks!

This should be a command line switch or option in game...don't know why it's not there...even last generation vid cards can run this game with ease.

Even very old computers can run it. My friend's Celeron 1.8Ghz, 512MB ram and Radeon 9200 graphics card does not suffer any performance hit. The game runs slow but it did without this mod anyway. No performance hit for him.

When I suggested this idea, I had so many comments like "oh this is a useless suggestion" and "it will impact performance too much" and "who cares about graphics" etc. So not true, time after time, I hear people's views on this mod, not one negative.

I thank Kunt0r for making my suggestion a reality! (btw, I too don't care about the sounds, I disable them even though I am a big UT fan)

I may be wrong, but could this mod be responsible for improved graphics such as the "shimmer/heat haze above" the lava pits in CoF. Or maybe it's just that I'm noticing things more........

Hmm. After few RA games, I noticed it works only in PvP... When I was farming as my monk, it didn't work Oo.

Sounds only proc if you earn a certain amount of XP. If you are getting little to no XP from whatever you're farming, you will not get any sounds.
