Hey guys,
Im at like 95% of my canthan explorer and I vanquished everything.
I really want to get my 100% and tried it with GIMP but just don't get the 2 pictures at the right resolution.
So i decided to use Texmod.
I'm using Mc Afee and i read about it how i can use them together (Get Texmod.exe out of the quarantine (let me know if I'm wrong)).
But now i have another question.
I'm also using Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware (not at the same time, I know 2 anti-virus programs are bad but I don't use them at the same time, I use these for alternative pc scans).
Do any of you guys uses these programs and do they detect Texmod as a Trojan aswell?
I hope you can help me out,

Texmod and Malwarebytes/SuperAntispyware

I use both along with AVG. And AVG is the only program i have issues with.
Ive never had any issues between Texmod and Malwarebytes and SuperAnti.

I prefer to run a scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware after i download Texmod and the explorer mods.

I occasionally do MBAM scans, but it never picks up TexMod as a trojan. Does it pick the explorer mods up as trojans too? Sounds fishy.

Any small exe going to be looked at as a Trojan because it modifies another program. I highly doubt you can hide a keylogger in a TPF file. Texmod was never made for GW anyway, so you should count it out of the list of things to steal your account, as it hasn't been updated since early 2006 and again was never made for GW in the first place.

MBAM shouldn't pick up TexMod as a trojan.
Also, remember that SAS is an AntiSpyware, not a standalone Antivirus, and you should use it with over antiviruses.
As far as i know, MBAM is just a scanner, so you could have all three on the computer (check up if McAffee has AntiSpyware, i'm not sure about it).

Ran scans of Texmod with both Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware.
Both came up clean.
For Mapping I use the Cartography Made Easy Complete Collection (link on wiki). Again scanned with both programs, and both clean.

wiki versions of texmod and mods are fault-free. some antivirs flag them as trojans or other crap, but it's false positive. just follow the links provided by the official wiki and you'll be fine.
Elephantaliste
texmod itself using injection and packing methods that are used by malware aswell
so in some case you won't make the difference between safe texmod and infected texmod, like between a false-positive and a false-false-positive.
so the only mean to get a safe version is to get it from a trusted source that eventually provides in case of links only, hashes to check integrity of archives.

Thanks for the info so far.
What do you mean, like i know what you mean because i saw people using it in Mirrors Edge aswell. But are you suggesting to not use it then?

no, he pointed that there is - probably - no possibility of any trojan or logger in .tpf file (aka mods that texmod loads, as in mapping) and that texmod wasn't originally designed for gw, so that there's low probability of it being infected or having a keylogger specifically to hack people's gw accounts.
use it, just download it from a trustworthy source, aka wiki or friend.

Its perfectly safe, no one would honestly have gwamm without cheating using texmod cartographer. Just download of wiki link and dont google it unless you have to. I got MalwareBytes on many cpus and it has never flagger Texmod.
YoSiKa
Yea Yea, I know it's safe but i think i misunderstood that guy :P

Couldn't get the pics at the right resolution :P

This. Thank you! IMO TexMod is a bunch of crap and I personally consider it cheating. |

you either:
* need a pic of a completely explored map from someone who has already mapped 100% of it (probably using texmod, so similar 'cheating' to using one);
* have to get the fully explored map from the .dat file (i have NO idea if it's anyhow possible - if not, disregard this point; if it is, i think it's similar 'cheating' to using texmod);
* have to very carefully scrape every corner and every spot, twice or more (it IS possible to achieve, especially that the cumulative amount of explorable area is 'over 100%' - but requires very careful scraping all the edges while visiting).
if there is any other way, please enlighten me.

i don't have a clue how can you tell, in gimp or not, where you have unexplored area without comparing your map with another. i mean, some places are obvious, but small chunks can sum up to 2% or more and sometimes the texture on the map is so crappy/monochromatic/dark/whatever that you simply can't say if it's explorable or not with a naked eye or zoom from gimp.
BuD
Yup I used photoshop. There used to be (maybe there still is) a post with maps that were 100% uncovered. You had an option of which resolution to use. When I did it, I had to time the clouds on my map to line up with the clouds on the 100% map, once I got them lined up I just created 1 pic with 2 layers, the layers were my pic & the 100% pic. Id then switch between the 2 layers & watch for little changes in the fog on the map. I did Cantha last, imho it was the hardest of the 3, Jade Quarry & FA werent that popular back then. There was another post for people wanting to Carto those 2 competitive arens hehe

When I did it there were no texmods or 100% maps ( a couple claimed to be full maps but were probably less than 95%), So it really was a case of wall hugging every zone carefully, multiple times.
And yes, Jade Quarry was a deserted pain, but apart from that, Cantha was by far the easiest.

Ahem - I think we may possibly be straying from the topic of AV false positive problems here...
Fear The Apocalypse
I too had the texmod flagged as a Trojan using McAfee. But according to this forum it seems that the program is still safe. (Provided it was DL'd from guild wikki official website). So I'm going to assume it's safe.
Thanks for the helpful posts!

False positives are a pain in the ass. The anti-malware apps are doing their job by tagging stuff that exhibits malware-like behaviour, but it leaves us with the situation where we pretty much have to trust stuff based on word-of-mouth.
Annoying.
Annoying.
Fear The Apocalypse
I'll have to re-download seems how I wiped clean all the "infected" files. Additionally, which site is recommended? Rapidshare or megaupload. (Both are on official wikki) but I'm curious if anyone has better experience compared to the other.
OoO Rift OoO
They both contain the same file, prefrence IMO...
Fear The Apocalypse
Okay. Thank you

The problem is with McAfee, not TexMod. All other anti-virus programs I have tried have no problem with TexMod. If McAfee keeps deleting TexMod, then create a new folder for it, then go to the McAfee settings, and put the path for that folder in the "What not to scan" list. Then download and save TexMod in that folder only.
It worked for me.

But all the wiki links are safe right..?
I might sound like a paranoid kid but still...
MisterB
The official wiki links are safe, TexMod is safe, and the .tpf files linked on the wiki are safe. A number of users patrol the page(s), but check the history to be safe. If the last edit happens to be from an anonymous IP, make sure the links were not altered.
lol at TexMod "cheating."

Point 2: Yea i know it's cheating but i'm happy if you got an alternative way...
MisterB
At the top of every article on the wiki are a few tabs. Click the history tab, and you'll see a list of edits. I just checked, and someone cleaned up a vandal on that page on March 17. I presume the links are fine.
I think you misunderstood. I think it's funny that people consider TexMod cheating. I do not. TexMod with the cartography mods does the same thing as GIMP or PS image flipping, but it's faster and easier because it works in real time. That is not the topic of this thread, however.

So it's safe now? (I think i go for the TombRaiderHub link)
Never really gave a chance to find those wiki history stuff ^^

Just go to the tombraiderhub link then. All of the links have the same file...
