I don't find it a huge deal, but I run in windowed mode, so if I run into the issue a minimize/restore to fix it takes about 2 seconds.

I am running into these problems hourly, and it's starting to get annoying now lol. Here are a few examples (resized)

Why can't these problems be fixed? Who made texmod and why isn't there an update to fix this?

Occasionally I believe while loading the textures and such, it accidentally loads another texture by accident that is similar or near it, possibly? If you notice, shadows always become the stupid square things which are very similar to the skill icons/bar area so maybe it accidentally loads that texture for em.

it's just a flaw in a program, I don't play GW with Shadows anyways (cause of texmod) so it doesn't ever screw up for me anyways.

It only ever does it immediately after zoning though, you should be able to minimize/restore as soon as you notice it, and before you 'engage' anyone, even in pvp.

It's not the fact that I lose concentration or unable to attack right away that's bothering, it's the fact that I have to keep minimizing/restoring all the time. I will put up with it for now but I hope someone can fix it.

Well seeing as Texmod hasn't been updated in two years, don't hold your breath. The guy that made it probably hasn't ever played Guild Wars anyway. If it's doing it that much, try disabling shadows like DarkNecrid suggested, see if that helps.

I paid a lot of money for my PC, it's a gaming PC. Graphics and visuals are very important to me (why do you think I am using your mod?). Guild Wars at it's maximum settings isn't anything special and I certainly will not turn off shadows. I want to improve the visual experience of Guild Wars, not lower it.

Can anyone take over texmod? Release a new version?

Again, it hasn't been updated for 2 years so 2 things are likely:
a) he doesn't have it anymore anyways (reformatted pc, new pc, etc etc etc.)
b) he is dead and/or hiding and/or doesn't give a shit.

someone should make a better texmod...

If I was the creator of texmod and reformatted my PC, I would surely backup my creation. All that time spent just to lose it due to a format? If he is smart enough to make texmod, he is smart enough to backup.

Yes, I agree, does someone here have the ability to make a better texmod?

Could try to get in contact with Kuntz (guy that made the ut sounds/high res textures mods). If I remember right he was involved in making the original icy dragon sword hoax (before anet made it a real item) using a texture replacing program similar to texmod. Pretty sure he doesn't play gw anymore though, so not sure how receptive to the idea he'd be.

Hi, I already messaged Kunt0r yesterday requesting a draw distance extender mod. He replied saying he think he can do it but he is too busy. Count him out lol. Shawn, do you have the skills?

Christ no, I've never programmed anything in my life, not even gave it a passing thought before. If you think Texmod is bad, you'd soon see how good you have it once I finished making a progam..

But he hasn't updated it in 2 years, so he either no longer cares about his creation, or lost it.

I know people who have the ability to do such a thing, but there is no point. ALT-TAB is a minor inconvenience that takes the span of less than a second to do on even a remotely decent PC compared to the inconvenience of coding such a thing from scratch that would not only work with current texmod mods but also not be buggy, or the inconvenience of somehow reverse engineering the executable to do such a thing(this is illegal)

this is probably why no one has ever updated it

I have a problem when using Textmod, whenever I take screenshots which I have set to save in BMP then just save in the standard JPG format

Does anyone have a solution to this?

I am not sure how you would obtain the source code unless the developer gave you it. There is always the hard way *HINT*

*HINT*. I am not good at coding but I can help you on the graphically side if you wish to try the hard way.

I just wanted to tell you that I love this UI mod. It is really pretty, and amazingly clean-looking. Great work.

The only thing is I really wish you would make a 50% health bar version since there's no way that I know of for me to make an edit of it since I don't have source files, and I'm really used to (and like) using mods that have that feature.

Open Texmod, browse to your Guild Wars shortcut by clicking the yellow folder at the top. Once done, click the little folder below and browse the mods you want to include.

Texmod is this little program that allows you to use the interface mod in GW.

This is where I downloaded Texmod; http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Texmod

and for the picture..

This is very slick.

I think the only thing I see missing is a "drop item" command for heroes.

Keep up the excellent work.

Glad to see the new version up and released, couldn't find many bugs during testing, mind you it was at some obscene hour of the morning, so I hope I didnt miss anything you missed also.

Nice update/fixes. I don't like the enchant/hex/weapon/condition 'dots' though

BTW, on the preview screenshot, did you know that you left some names unblurred?

Crap, but I'm very lazy so I'm going to let it slip. And I know some people won't like some of the design decisions like enchant/weapon spell/hex/condition pips and the big red close button, but it's normal and people will eventually adapt to it.

Great UI here but i just have one question. Is there any way to remove the spirit radar? Not everyone uses spirits so its just an annoyance. Not talking trash on your UI as i love it and TY for makin it.

As Raven just said above, you'll adapt to it

I don't even remember its there. Also, I love the custom HM and PvP-map change only thing icon (balth and arena icon)

It always happens. Sometimes texmod replaces other textures with things like the grass will be the number 1 on your skill bar. If you don't mind the shadow just play with it. If you do then minimize and maximize the game and it should be gone. This also works in fixing the WHOLE screen thiing where it shows a texture on your whole screen.

dude, this is one of the more amazing texmods put together and really makes GW look young once again, it really breathes life back into the visual aspect of the game and provides a perfect example of proof that any real changes made to the game aside from skill updates are all made by the community and shows that if we are equipped to do so that maybe anet should step the fugg up or start hiring us, or you to be more exact.

I found a minor bug in the 1.2 version of the mod

Screenie:

As you can see on the damage monitor , there are some skills that look like an elite even though they aren't (Golden Fox Strike and Spear of Lightning) . This doesn't seem to happen all the time though and it appears to occur randomly.

EDIT: It also happens backwards; sometimes elites don't have the small yellow border. All these things were noticed in RA if it matters.

Very nice job with this. Theres a few things that bug me, but im just a picky person and still used to GW without this. Love the mod!

Mikey I also saw that but couldn't get a ss.
