Tyrian Cartography mod broken

It seems the latest update has caused a few problems with the Tyrian GMC mod for Texmod. Interestingly enough, the last time this happened was with the GW:EN map change last year. It's not likely they would change parts of the map for no reason, and not enough was broken to completely ruin the mod. The affected areas are around Lion's Arch and the old Guild Hall Isle, and also the map at Talus Chute.

Any ideas as to if these areas have been updated in any way, any reason why they would change the maps for these zones?

Hmm... well they did add the chasm near LA... but I doubt that would change the minimap image used to create the map (and that did happen a while ago). I got nothing.

The chasm was the Gwen update last October this is something from last weeks update. I'm stumped.

Maybe add screenshots so we can see what this 'mess up' looks like.

Maybe you are accidentally loading the old tyrian cartography mod and not the updated version from after gwen?

Nope, same version from last week. Pre-gwen is gold, post gwen is blue.

Also, before anyone flames me for not knowing how to run texmod, or screwing it up myself, I'm the one who made, and is currently repairing, the mod, so I do know what I'm doing here.

This could be why its broken.

That's it! I must have glossed over that one in the update notes, but did find a rather large portion if map added to the mission. Thanks for solving this little mystery, Lycan.

The bug fix was to the gates of Kryta mission... as far as scraping out the map goes though there is nothing new. Its just that the souther island(s) didn't show up on the world map. Also, the odd part near Camp Raknor/Drocks is not new. It was like this before the update. (I got 100% Tyrian Cartographer a few weeks ago and remember that particular oddity.) I have tried several times to unfog that particular place and have never gotten any more than what your picture shows.

Why? How does it affect you people getting a new title?

Let me guess your the same person that cried for an Ursan Nerf after using it to do all the HM areas.

Doesnt really effect us per se, it just cheapens the title by how its so easily accomplished.

YOU know how you got YOUR title. That's all that matters, right?

ALL of the titles have been cheapened - LC is not exempt from that.

I got my Legendary Vanquisher without using Ursan, but because so many used Ursan, it means a lot less now. (But, on the other hand, I actually enjoyed doing it, as opposed to Ursan, so I'm still ahead.)

Is there a place to download the textmod that is 100% secure with no trogans or key loggers? I would like to try and use it but I don't know how.

Keep all the texmod/ cartography mod made my title pointless out of the thread. Anyone can go make another thread specifically for QQing over everything that the game ruined.

Just curious skoone have you been able to change it around/ having any luck making it work again?

Been using this mod for not to long, been running perfectly for me. Theirs some glitches you get when you minimize the game and maximize it. But if you keep doing that it goes away. Thanks again for the awesome mod.

No. I actually remained neutral in case of ursanway.
Its a very different things. Legitimate, but somewhat overpovered skill and third-party cheat program. Why not use bot-scripts then? They too ease gameplay.

Thanks for a great mod sykoone. And don't listen to all those anti mod activists out there. They're just angry because you thought of it first.

Yeah, that happens to me too. Though annoying at times I'd rather have that and the mod then no mod at all. It would be a pain in the behind without it.

Yeah, right, one must be absolutely out of his mind to even try that...

Oh wait... did it twice, first time with Nec (without Heroes at that time) and then with Rt (Title-Char). DOH!

So I have 2 Grandmaster Cartographers without textmod. But I honestly would have used it if it were available at the time I did those.

Why?
Mindlessly going over every area twice or thrice in search of the last 0.1% isn't an achievement in anything but bloody-mindedness.
It was horrible to try to find the last few tenths of the last percent WITH texmod, I can't imagine what'd possess anyone to even try without it.

I did legend cartographer without a texmod. I did not recall coming back to any section for missing 0,1%. If you go there once and wall scratch correctly there is no need to go back. So It it is perfectly possible to do legend.c without any mods. There is also a nice list of tricky locations here on Guru. I do not mind others using textmod to get their cart titles but I would not do it myself since it is a kind of self cheating isn't it?

It's a computer game... If it's fun to do it your way do it. If it's not, don't. Games are meant to be fun...

Because bot scripts aren't allowed by ArenaNet but Texmod is.
