As this isn't answered yet, i'll just ask it again until it gets answered.

I dont want the complete package mod for changing everyone, just the tiny mods for the rader and health bar.

If anyone can explain how to do this, or give me a link to download, or even the script to make it, i'll really appreciate it.

Right now we have something that's bringing a lot of creative talent to the field, inspiring new life in the community, and adding depth to the game...a cosmetic side of the game, where players are finding ways to just add their artistic expression...and has even at least been shown an interest by the "powers that be" at A-Net....and you're suggesting everyone just gets a ban for it....

I love it when people get scared when a group of people -- even a relatively small one (compared to the total numbers of people who play GW) -- decide to add a little color to the world.

Well said Anthony! I see nothing wrong with making it so everyone can get 15k armor for free. It would save all that farming which is needed. And even better, you'd still look different to everyone else becuase you'd only see their normal unmodded armour. All sides win apart from the elitist trade money horders

Xero Silvam · Jul 04, 2007, 11:35 AM // 11:35

You can't just add any armor on any character. You would place the texture of the image on top of the actual looks of another. Ill upload a picture later.

eiirish · Jul 04, 2007, 11:45 AM // 11:45

You could make the clouds on map darker, right?
Cartographing uses

BenjZee · Jul 04, 2007, 12:01 PM // 12:01

, also thinkign editing a tattoo. might get koss'es afro...so much i can do.

anyone wanna mod the map so it shows us loadsa stuff, how about delete fog?
im making my own skill picture for skill captures, this is cool. i
Could anyone make a zelda package full of mods, im thinking master sword and hylian sheils on mission completion

Anet should see this as acceptable i dont see why they would mind as it is only modding our own screens. other people will see you as normally so if you think your wearing fow and your actually wearing starters thats your problem

Seriously, modifing the DAT file should have no noticable effect on Anets side.

That's funny seeing as I have not heard back from Anet as to WHY I was banned. The message with code=045 is their generic "you're banned forever" message.

Once I hear back from NCSoft / Gaile I'll post.

Again my assumption is that due to logging in and out a few times on the same character in semi rapid succession is what raised the flag. Hopefully they have someone working tomorrow/today so I'll find out then.

BenjZee · Jul 04, 2007, 12:38 PM // 12:38

actually im gunan play it safe and not mod untill gaile comes to the thread and clears up the matter.. i cant see this as harming anything really
if not , i see awhole thread of people ready to be banned

Black Glass mod - Complete interface overhaul, details, screenshots and a download link here.

DarkNecrid · Jul 04, 2007, 12:56 PM // 12:56

Emily has updated and she said what she posted was correct according to a founder of Anet.

It seems any bans that are occuring are caused by a flaw in the banning system.

pamelf · Jul 04, 2007, 12:58 PM // 12:58

A flaw in the banning system? *shocked*

Graywing · Jul 04, 2007, 01:00 PM // 13:00

Made one hell of a sissy mesmer...

prism2525 · Jul 04, 2007, 01:02 PM // 13:02

about pvp balance I'm sure it won't hurt one bit.

If someone makes (already in existance) a spirit range mod for the radar, it would be crazy not to use it in pvp. This means all the good players will still be on an even footing. Same goes for bright monk armor etc.

EDIT: So we DO have an official word about modding and that's "It's OK"? Great!

At Graywind: Scary. Just scary.

Shadow Kurd · Jul 04, 2007, 01:11 PM // 13:11

Woohoo Emily and ArenaNet FTW! . Ok people we can continue modding

, just don't log in and out 10 times a minute

I love this. I was about to start work on a dark style interface, but this is near perfect, so I'm using it instead

How's this for a start?

Antithesis · Jul 04, 2007, 01:18 PM // 13:18

This all seems like a very bad idea to me. It's sure to lead to exploits and cheating (eg bright skins) because what is essentially being done is reverse-engineering the game files and running them through third-party software.

Fair enough they are local game files, but mods will be shared and spread amongst the community whether you like it or not, for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage over those who choose not to mod. It won't be about Captain America shields and pink dragon swords. Counter-strike wall hack, bright skin and headshot mods ring a bell to anyone?

Some smart guy is gonna come along and find a way to inject info into the game and *BOOM*...there goes Anet's reason to hang onto GW1. It'll save them a heap of money to drop the game once GW2 is released and this seems like the best method of encouraging that outcome.

Of course this is all ill-informed supposition and doomsaying on my part but i can only see this negatively impacting the game. So i have no pity for those of you who lose an account whether you've got tenuous approval from two employees of Anet or not because you are hacking the game and you are using third-party tools to facilitate it.

Loving it! Now make you clothes green and your helm a pointy green hat too, and you can officially play with Link on your PC

...on the other hand, aren't those textures copyrighted by Nintendo?

Selket · Jul 04, 2007, 01:32 PM // 13:32

Things worth adding: targeting enemies in pvp 1-8, instead of a casting bar actual cast time progressed out of total cast as well as something similar for health.

JackRabbitSlim · Jul 04, 2007, 01:36 PM // 13:36

@Selket - neither of those is possible with the current tools, all we can do is modify existing textures.

@Arduinna
Good point. Hopefully, as long as I don't release it publicly, it shouldn't be a problem. Which means I can carry on working on the master sword

Weak.

Unless you can make characters bigger, which would serve a purpose.
