If you run Texmod with a mod, and you need to install an update, just close it after the update is done and then re-run GW through Texmod.

Please don't hate me for interrupting but I've been trying to comprehend this thread. Before I read this I thought I was computer savvy. Well... I guess not. So all I'm asking is, Can I have a transparency mod? Thanks.

No. Not unless the models polygons are flagged with transparancy, all it will do is make every a shiny chrome.

Transparency mod? care to elaborate.

no, you can't make your armor see-through.

actually you can, but the see-through will cause you to see right through your character, which is generally not what you want.

By transparency mod I assume you want it for nude mod purposes... not possible. You can only make the person completely transparent, and in some places, from my experience, transparency is completely blocked (there is 100% transparency (alpha) there in the original texture, and yet said texture is not see through).

since the mini update from yesterday, GW says no to my Texmod

So basically after tinkering around with it the only conclusion I could make was that there needs to be a lightsaber somewhere in guild wars, and arrows completely red to look like lasers. But im sad because the blue lightsaber I have won't glow because theres no glow effect for katanas =(.

LOOOL! I should've elaborated. I was flipping around the thread and I saw a person who posted a picture of their UI (Inventory, Skills, Hero, ect.) that were transparent. Thanks.

I could guess that you would get the background template of it and either erase it or just reduce the quality in photoshop.

If you are asking how to get that mod go to the official wiki and search mods. I believe that one is called Crystal windows. I like the Dark Glass mod better, the darker background actually helps to distinguish items from the environment. But thats my opinion

Anyone having any luck getting texmod to work with Vista? I cant seem to get it to work at all, just crashes as soon as it starts.

Sorry if I missed it the last 19 pages, I only briefly skimmed...

Yanman.be · Aug 14, 2007, 09:23 PM // 21:23

Red-Tide, it works on vista home premium fine with me...

Red-Tide · Aug 14, 2007, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Odd, Thats what i'm using... I'll give it another go tonight and see if I can get it working. Did you have any issues during setup? Did you have to do anything in particular to get it to run?

Thanks in advance.

yes right click on texmod/ properties/ tick "run as admin"/ tick compatibility with xpsp2/ok

Red-Tide · Aug 14, 2007, 09:55 PM // 21:55

Damn it, why didnt I think of that. Still getting used to Vista here, had the same problem with Punkbuster in some other games. If it wasn't set to admin it wouldnt download updates or anything.

Thanks for the info 007 & Yanman.

Red-Tide · Aug 14, 2007, 09:55 PM // 21:55

Double post, my bad.

There are several client side mods that allow skin changes that YOU see on your side. for instance there are some screen shots of player warriors out there that have the character skin changed to some other unplayable character skin wrapped on it. Its been used in some fan movies and such... There are also some sound mods, and 1 interface mod that makes the GW skill bar look like hands with signet rings on it... (that one is kinda dumb looking actually)

The last mod I have seen is the old school ascalon login screen replacement... Basically modding it back to the original login screen... (done by extracting the original files from the DAT on the original CD for prophecies and modding the installation to use those files instead of the normal login screen.)

There are other mods that are considered cheats... In that there is a fog color mapper that lets you see more easily where you missed some areas on your map for cartographer. Or changing the u map to use the compass map instead.

And other mods that extract the hidden dungeon maps so they can be printed out for reference. Stuff like Torment maps and the new GW:EN dungeons have already been shared using this method.

While Anet does not specifically say you can not mod your client how you wish they are not necessarily endorsing it either... Technically speaking it qualifies as reverse engineering in some cases, and as such is against the EULA.

Basically as long as you are not gaining an unfair advantage by doing it or not abusing your mod abilities to allow you such advantages, I doubt they will care. Using a mod for making fan movies or for ascetic pleasure alone is basically the only legitimate reason to allow a client side mod. So keep that in mind when you do it. Arenanet is very unique in that they allow a flag for full DAT file decompression. This allows a competent end user to see the goodies early and in some cases do some interface tinkering for their own enjoyment.

When and if it effects Others in abusive ways, it will be taken issue with. Prime examples... the GH overlay button mod that allows Presearing characters to go to GH illegally... Or script mods that make fake mission queue (alla Tihark Orchard) to take you to maps you should not be able to get too. (this one has been mostly fixed so it don't happen anymore, since you can no longer use this trick to map to town points, and generally in missions the map portals are disabled.)
These kinds of mods are BIG, BIG, HUGE, NO NOs...
