As the title of this topic says, I can't get Texmod to work. I'm on Vista Home Premium, tried using it without the Firewall, then without the virusscanner, then as Administrator, but it still doesn't work.

Help??

Kind regards,
Sabine

When I enter all the necessary things in the Texmod-program, and then press Run, that message as said in the topic title appears, and the program won't run.

the texmod isnt working

wow

how specific

-error messages?
-does it open at all?
-are you sure you have the game fully updated before running TexMod

EDIT:
AHH

Make sure you're running Gw.exe, and not a shortcut of Gw.exe

right click it, go to properties -> compatibility and set it to run textmod in compatibility mode for windows xp sp2 and check the box next to "run this program as and administrator"

hope that helps!

try moving your Guild Wars folder out of Program Files, into C drive, and try again.

Did you disable that UAC or whatever-it-called Account Security.

I disabled that from the beginning and haven't had any issues running texmod/games.

I appreciate you guys trying to help me, but I don't think all that stuff is going to make this program work. There should be an easier solution to this

the easier solution is you properly identifying the symptoms so people here can actually help you. just telling us it won't work doesn't cut it. you need to tell us what you've tried, exactly what you're doing, and give us the full error. if you don't know how to describe the error, screenshots are a great help. you giving up so easily without really trying to fix it just means you really don't want to use texmod.

there's something obviously wrong on your end because the program works fine for pretty much everyone else. therefore the error must be 24 inches away from your monitor and approximately 48 inches off the ground.

delete it redownload it, redownload your .tpf files as well, the error message is just general so maybe its corrupt.

thank you.

@TS

Is your TexMod the newest version? Because over time as patches patch GWs, it causes TexMod to not properly associate with it. Well, for me that is. But uh, if not, reinstallin TexMod might work. If not, try reinstalling Guild Wars. And make sure that your tpf's aren't corrupted, cause' that screwed me up one time as well... so yah.

Try loading one mod at a time to find the one that is not working.

Might as well give this one a go.

Seeing as nothing is working.

For everyone asking for a "specific error" on texmod the only error you recieve is "D'oh! Shit Happens!"

could you give me an URL from which you got the files? Maybe indeed something is corrupt, I don't know anymore... I just get a bit frustrated when everything I try doesn't work...

Consider trying this: List your Texmod version, and link where you got it from. Do the same with the modifications you're trying to run and their download location. This allows someone else to try to run the same as you and attempt to reproduce the issue.

I got the Texmod program from here:
http://www.tombraiderhub.com/tr7/mod...oad/texmod.zip

But where I got the TPF files from I can't remember, because I had to use Google for those...

I can't seem to find the version of the program, but it was made on the 21st of April 2006

I would recommend getting TexMod and the tpf files from the wiki.

yes that would be a good idea...I know that one of the ones I had (for elona) wouldnt work...so I found a link in the elona thread and downloaded that one...it worked....
so try redownloading from a better source and see if that helps.

Only real way is to use a decent anti-virus solution. Most paid for solutions tend to be worse than even the free version of avg.

No offense, but the Texmod-program itself comes from Wiki, the first link you see there (the one I posted earlier on here), and I can't seem to find any TPF files on Wiki...

Am I noob, or am I terrible at searching?

Uninstall McCrappy, then get Avira or AVG, or NoD32 if you like to pay for things.

well.... yesterday I got the Texmod program with one of the TPF files from one of my mates from our alliance, who said that it worked on his computer (he has Vista too), but it didn't work on my PC either, so I guess it's not gonna happen for me...sigh...

Here's a thought: Are you sure that the problem is with Texmod itself and not a bad .tpf file? Try running Texmod with no .tpf's selected and see what happens.

this is off topic but UAC prevents rootkits from getting into your computerhttp://www.winmatrix.com/forums/inde...howtopic=18441, so I would advise you enable it and to get back ontopic from the wiki you can download texmod here http://www.tombraiderhub.com/tr7/mod...oad/texmod.zip
and all wiki's tpf's http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide..._modifications

hope this helps, if not sorry for wasting your time.

This is true. UAC should only be disabled with advanced users who understand how to properly run a computer. UAC may be a bit annoying at times, but if you are not an advanced computer user, it can also save you and your personal data.

When I click Texmod.exe and just select GW.EXE as the application without using the TPF-file, Guildwars DOES start up normally. So that would suggest the TPF-file is crappy. BUT: I got this file from one of my alliance mates, and he said that it worked fine on his computer.

So now I'm even more puzzled...

Tell you what, if you're on xfire or (god forbid) MSN, PM me with your contacts and I'll dc my copies over. Suppose I could email them - but it's around 18MB for the three.
