Hey, thanks for the link. Seems simple enough. Also it appears that you run GW through TextMod, which like Oblivion simply overlays over the basic primary file but doesn't change it. If the game crashes, you just run GW normally since nothing in GW itself is changed.

I spent all that time battling Charr and trying to save Ascalon and when I went back after all was said and done, I find not even a single bit of grass or less troublesome sky. Then I did battle in Factions and then Nightfall and finally the Great Destroyer. After all those years I'd really like to see "some" change in Ascalon.

This mod seems like I got my wish! Will give it a try later tonight.

I was wondering if a "lighting" effect such as the one outside Ember Light Camp can be modded. Didnt figured that out, though ^^

Can u make a screenshot or something, so i know what you are meaning

Witchblade · Oct 10, 2007, 05:17 PM // 17:17

/logging (trying

) i'll edit in a sec

edit: i meant, the ambient lighting in a map...i doubt that can be modded just with the use of Texmod, and i aint that good at modding ^^
I just thought about this when i went capping Echo a few days ago^^

Looks nice, but the dead trees and crumbling buildings all over the place kinda diminish the effect.

Rome was not built in a day and forests take decades to regrow. Its closer than dust and ash so I'll take it!

I actually like the crystal effect with grass and blue skies. Nice job!

thunderai · Oct 11, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Looks impressive, I would hope that GW2 takes this as a lead and uses a similar technique to creating the ascalon of the future; however, in 250 years many things more would no doubt change.

Neo Nugget · Oct 11, 2007, 03:37 AM // 03:37

Well i guess it's what ascalon would look like in between GW 1 and GW2, i read in the pc gamer GW edition that Green started to grow in The ascalon area.

This mod might actually make me download textmod or whatever it is

i suggest for a new version to change the map of ascalon , replace grey by green , doable in 2 sec with photoshop or something like that .

How you do it ?

=HT=Ingram · Oct 11, 2007, 05:39 PM // 17:39

I kinda think this should be implementable from Anet. Once all the campaigns are complete and GW:EN is complete on your character it could trigger a script client side to activate this type of mod client side to make ascalon look different in the same way. To show the progress of time there... The rebuilding effort so to speak. Basically Just like this, a RESKIN of the area client side, not a new area...

Interesting project... I look forward to keeping a watchful eye on it to see how it progresses, and would welcome some feedback from Anet on what they think of this idea...

Suko · Oct 11, 2007, 08:47 PM // 20:47

very nice work!

Silly Warrior · Oct 11, 2007, 09:37 PM // 21:37

Very cool!

Great work man, I hope the community can put some positive input on this to help you improve it!

This is amazing! Before I saw this the only thing i personnaly thought texmod was good for was cartographing! retexture of landscapes never even occured to me, but now someones done it... OMFG! lol

You've done some amazing work!

just wondering though, do u have any plans to retexture any other places after you've done ascolon??

just a few thoughts to run by you "Crystal Desert goes Jade" or "Lions Arch goes Volcanic" haha!

=HT=Ingram · Oct 16, 2007, 10:35 PM // 22:35

Actually Lions Arch gets flooded would be more appropriate... High tides start happening, causing water levels to flow further into town...

So far I must admit I am impressed. For this being fan work its not too bad. still obviously feels kinda beta as in some modes it doesn't sync in correctly, but its still very impressive when it does work. It would be really nice to have this happen automatically in game after you complete all the campaigns to show to passage of time. The addition of the Map overlay was the golden touch... Really makes it look new and different.

Found a small problem, if you have terrain quality set to low it shows the default textures.
So you need to have terrain quality set to at least medium to see the mod.
Apart from that, i like it.

I know this. It's because all textures got a "Default Texture" which is low graphic. Made for people who dont have a (good) graphic card.

BenjZee · Oct 22, 2007, 01:39 PM // 13:39

nice mod. Is it that bright in the game?
seems alittle bright for me.

Your going to be busy this wintersday and halloween lol.Ofcourse we can't get some of the decorations ..shame...but it will look good to have a mod for the outposts that are effected.

I see a future mod for all areas being made wintery or pre searing like

PowerRAV · Oct 22, 2007, 09:13 PM // 21:13

Just thought I'd let you know your watermark or signature shows up backwards in The Isle of the Dead guild hall or is it even supposed to be there?
