Comments/suggestions/flames are all very welcome.

Moderators: I'd appreciate it if one of you go and virus test this so people don't scream foul, also I'd appreciate it if it could stay in this forum, although it'll probably get moved.

could you offer just the critical hit by itself its the one that i want the most.

Mystic Cobra · Jul 08, 2007, 01:10 AM // 01:10

I really want the radar,critical hit & 50% HP.How we can uninstall that ?

Tiyuri · Jul 08, 2007, 01:11 AM // 01:11

I'll be offering separate packages when I'm done, unfortunately it makes rebuilding the mod after making small changes a much more irritating process to break it up at this point.

Nevin · Jul 08, 2007, 01:14 AM // 01:14

Wow, Congrats to being the first modder presenting your work to the community. Atleast that I know of, but to me the only things of interest are.

- Critical Hit, 50% HP

So I suggest simply making everything its own package, as you probably will do anyways. That way people can be as picky as they want.

Tiyuri · Jul 08, 2007, 02:05 AM // 02:05

Yeah I will do when I'm finished with it

Miral · Jul 08, 2007, 02:15 AM // 02:15

the 50% hp bar is useful for a lot more than ZB

great work here, look forward to seeing what else this sparks

just thought of a request.... possible to get HP #s on ally/enemy bars?

unienaule · Jul 08, 2007, 02:24 AM // 02:24

This isn't a virus. Also, it's cool. Pick it up and you'll be that much closer to being as awesome as Tiyuri, which is to say you'll still be really far away.

Osi Ri S · Jul 08, 2007, 02:59 AM // 02:59

whould you mind adding 80% health indicators along with the 50% ones? it would help with LoD and such.

i havnt been keeping up with the other threads about modding, but does anet ban you for this?

i've seen a post saying theres no rules against modding
and ive seen other threads where ppl are banned for modding.

so i'm bit confused, so whats the story?

fenix · Jul 08, 2007, 05:08 AM // 05:08

gasmaskman · Jul 08, 2007, 05:12 AM // 05:12

gasmaskman · Jul 08, 2007, 05:16 AM // 05:16

No.

This is cool. I have one idea you might be down with or not for the future: to put the out folder in a .rar before you pack them so people can also choose a "pack your own" version.

Linsle · Jul 08, 2007, 06:37 AM // 06:37

Cool mod, I particularly like the sleek UI and critical hit animation.

I've been having some really funky graphic glitches on the character screen when I run GW through texmod with these mods. Some pretty funny stuff, but it isn't hard to repro as hopping from full screen to windowned seems to really set it off but it doesn't always do the same thing. I have screen shots if you are interested (at one point there was so much flashing on my screen that my fiancee looked over and said "whoa is that the epileptic seizure mod?"). Is that normal for texmod in general (this is my first mod) or just a bug with this mod?

El_Inferno · Jul 08, 2007, 11:35 AM // 11:35

@Tiyuri you should check the party bars ... your hp bar frame is smaller than the hp bar itself (check edges)

second the 50% mark is kind of crappy because it appears on everything you focus -> like items or npc have a 50% mark too

and i ahve to agree with the others i realy would appreaciate seperated packets for every modifaction, cause i dont realy like everything but a few thins realy much like the ranger spirits or the crit hit animation .. well done

This doesn't modify anything in the game, per se. What the program does is redirect textures that gw.exe displays to the custom textures you've made/downloaded. The original data is unharmed. And the changes are local, so no one sees them but you.

awesome, nice job... Some very intellegent ideas... Best thing ive seen in a while now... Tiyuri > Anet
