I use the Adrenaline one as well, whenever I remember to use Texmod and not just launch the GW client :P I like how clearer it makes the graphics.

I have only used the Cartography mod - in desperation for the last 3% of Elona, because I HATE that Remains Of Sahlajah mission so much I was trying to avoid doing it by any means possible. (didn't work tho - I still had to go there for the last 0.6% -.-)

I will use it again if I get stuck at 95%+ of Cantha and Tyria.

Effendi Westland · Nov 02, 2007, 04:26 PM // 16:26

Used it for the last 3% of cantha, and use it whenever I am summoning spirits or healing.

Malice Black · Nov 02, 2007, 04:27 PM // 16:27

Nope. Does not interest me in the slightest.

Solas · Nov 02, 2007, 04:35 PM // 16:35

havent used it and prob the only time i would use it is for cart, unless anet brought an in-game way of seeing percent left in area or the lieks.

Lady Ana Stacia · Nov 02, 2007, 04:38 PM // 16:38

I used it for the last .3% I needed in Elona, was really hoping it would help me avoid having to do Remains challenge mission but unfortunately it didn't.

I know what it is, but dont use it.

No one else can see the mods you install unless they install the same, so there's little point to me to use it, although I admit some interest in making my own GUI. As for Cartography, I find it easy enough frankly to look at a 100% map, toss it in Photoshop if I want to for a comparison.

MithranArkanere · Nov 02, 2007, 04:56 PM // 16:56

I find texmod almost useless. Using it to explore is too cheap.
Using it for skins is senseles, since no one else can see them.

So, why to use it?

Roo Ella · Nov 02, 2007, 04:56 PM // 16:56

I haver only been using text mod for the last 6 or 7 days
and only reason I did was for months and months have been stuck at 99.6%

Found all the really tiny spots my eyes just could not see normally
0.04% and now have Grandmaster of Tyria.

Spirit range on my radar is useful to me in pve for putting ranger spirits in places where they will be useful AND not wiped out in two seconds. The 50-80% health lines are moderately useful. I like having the Crystal Windows UI mod because I normally play in a smaller window, and that lets me see what's going on when I have a window or two open. Also, at least so far, I cba to do any Cartographer titles. The most I have is on my ele, at 75% or so I think, just from playing way too much Prophs back in the day.

pkodyssey · Nov 02, 2007, 05:36 PM // 17:36

I like the spiritradar bubble one.

Because some people actually buy armor for the way it looks.....?

Big_Iron · Nov 02, 2007, 05:44 PM // 17:44

I put down that I don't use it, but I have downloaded it. I'm interested in using it for the Cartographer title, but haven't done anything with it yet.

Witchblade · Nov 02, 2007, 05:46 PM // 17:46

/user

cartographer/custom armor parts&weapons/adren+clear mod/custom gui as well

this one looks really interesting

ReiNaruto · Nov 02, 2007, 05:54 PM // 17:54

I just use it for doing Cartographer while vanquishing areas, I dont want to return to some far place just for a lost pixel.

Gio · Nov 02, 2007, 05:55 PM // 17:55

I love texmod and I usually don't play without it anymore. <3 ^...^

What's the problem you're having?

I run Texmod and GW all the time under Vista.

**cosyfiep** · Nov 02, 2007, 06:26 PM // 18:26

dont use it, and cant use it.....though it would be nice for a change to get to use something to make my gw title hunting easier....but alas.

I started using Texmod just recently and really like its potential. There are some mods I wont use that take away from the immersion factor of the game, like the spirit rings (I want to judge AOE distance on my own). But I like mods that add to the immersion factor and/or reduce clutter or words on the screen. I don't like large, cartoony graphics taking up a lot of space on the minimap or such (why I like heroflag mod) and we are working on a mod to reduce the annoying size of the red map blips that cover up most of the topo of a map if you do any amount of exploring.

I also use the cartography mod sometimes, but only after I've done as much exploring on my own first and don't feel like spending tons of hours scraping edges of maps I may already have mapped out and just can't tell.

I'm 99.9% a PvE player; but if I ever get into PvP I would choose not to use Texmod at all as I would consider some of the mods borderline cheating that give you a leg up competitively over other players using the standard UI. I don't have a problem with that in a PvE setting though.

What I like most about Texmod that is different from most other game mods I've used is that it doesn't modify any of your actual game files. It loads GW in a shell so to speak and replaces textures in memory realtime as the game calls them. If you don't like a particular mod or it causes you trouble of any kind, then just quit GW and start it back up again w/o using Texmod.
One feature I would love to see added is the ability to save Profiles in Texmod that you can select and load with a few clicks. Currently when you quit Texmod (eg: reboot) you have to reselect all your mods and the GW.exe location. Just takes a sec but seems like it would be simple to let you save some of those settings between sessions.
