and why is Tyria cartography made easy 10mb >.<
i dunno much on trojans but is that way too big to be for an img? (just read on a post saying .tpf's cant contain keylogger)

but the wtf.tmp is worrying me>.<
anyone else getting them?

seing as uncommpressed images are large in file size (before the format update my .bmp screenshots where 5.5mb each) its not that strange.

As far as the file size for the tyrian cartography mod, considering there's over 150 images in the file, 10 meg is a decent size

Loveless Rage · Feb 17, 2009, 06:56 AM // 06:56

Ok. I just started using texmod. I followed all the steps, ran guild wars with selecting the .tpf in the package mode. I did this, ran guild wars, nothing happened. Do I need the save the picture of my map anywhere? If it helps, i'm using tyria

ranger rothers · Feb 17, 2009, 08:30 AM // 08:30

No,

Run Texmod

Select Gw.exe as the target application

Select Tyria - Gwen Cartograpy Made Easy.tpf as the Package Name

Run

Just to be sure ... you did run GW using the run button in the texmod dialog, right?

Did GW do a new download and decompress when you ran it? If there is a program update when you start GW, that will subvert texmod, since it has already applied its changes to the old version. So, the new download will overwrite it and it will look like nothing has happened. In that case you simply need to quit GW and rerun it from texmod so the package is applied to the new version.

When you get a GW update notice while in game, quit GW, start it as normal to download the new version, quit again, and run through texmod.

Nilator · Feb 17, 2009, 01:42 PM // 13:42

Where do I find these .tpf 's?

Edit:
Never mind.

Loveless Rage · Feb 17, 2009, 08:38 PM // 20:38

It has no updates for me, and ranger, that's exactly the steps I did. It just doesn't work. I'll get a picture when I get home in a few hours.

Loveless Rage · Feb 18, 2009, 02:43 AM // 02:43

Here's a picture to better represent my situation. It shows my map after the settings i've selected with texmod, which you see also.

There is nothing in my out folder. Also, the most common guide tells me to take a picture of my map, but doesn't tell me what to do with it. I know its 1280x768 (or something like that, don't remember exact dimensions) and fullscreen, but I don't know what to do with that picture.

Any insight would be amazingly helpful.

Read my above post for a few more details. Thanks.

BrettM · Feb 18, 2009, 12:59 PM // 12:59

Your screen is a bit hard to read, but I don't recognize the name of the package you have loaded. I use "GW_Tyria - Gwen Cartography Made Easy.tpf". Are you using something different, or did you rename the package for some reason?

You do not need to take a screenshot of the map when using texmod for cartography. That is done only for the older way of doing cartography where you use a graphics program to compare your screenshot with a reference screenshot of a map that has been completely cleared. I don't know which guide you consider to be the most common, but it surely describes how to do this or it isn't much of a guide, and it is dead wrong if it tells you to use a screenshot with texmod. If you want to follow this process instead of using texmod, I suggest you find a different guide that does tell you what to do with your screenshot. All the guides I've seen explain this in detail.

I'm not sure why you expect something to be in your "out" folder. Texmod does not output anything to your disk. It modifies the map that you see in-game while you are playing. Your U-map and M-map should show colored "fog" that retreats as you move around clearing the area.

Loveless Rage · Feb 18, 2009, 08:23 PM // 20:23

Yeah, well after that image I had spent countless hours attempting to get it to work. I got the mods from the official wiki, and yet still nothing work. I've tried EVERYTHING, and i'm not even kidding. I have reinstalled texmod, turned off firewall, moved the folder everywhere, ran gw with an -image, and nothing. Is there ANYTHING that might solve my problem?

Please help by answering my question. *Exactly* what mod did you download? What *exactly* is the name of the package you are loading, because it sure doesn't look like "GW_Tyria - Gwen Cartography Made Easy.tpf" in the screenshot you posted. (My eyes are bad and the screenshot is small, so perhaps I'm wrong.) Let's make sure you're loading the right thing first.

Edit: I see that the name of the tpf was changed when the author updated it recently, so it should now be "Tyria - EotN Cartography Made Easy.tpf", which still doesn't look like what your screen is showing.

There are also two videos on YouTube that may help by showing exactly how it works:

Texmod: Questions and Answers

Loveless Rage · Feb 22, 2009, 11:06 PM // 23:06

I've used the youtube video and the Q&A to troubleshoot. I've downloaded all the files for guild wars using the -image trick. I'm using the packages from the official wiki, and I tried others. The links are in a UI - Interface page. Let me get the link:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide...I_enhancements

I use the cartography maps from that page on the official wiki.

Sigh. I give up. I've asked twice now for the exact name of the package that you're loading into texmod. I don't know why it is so difficult to answer that simple question instead of just waving your hand and saying "it came from over there somewhere". The video guide says that it just won't work for some people, so I guess you'll just have to do your cartography the old fashioned way. Good luck. I'm outta here.

*Darcy* · Feb 23, 2009, 07:14 PM // 19:14

@ Loveless - the package showing on your pic is named "CARTOGRAPHY - TYRIA ONLY"

This is not the correct file name. If you downloaded the file and renamed it then it will not work.

Go to http://www.mediafire.com/?yuzy6pefeha and download Tyria -EotN Cartopgraphy Made Easy.tpf

Aleron Adeodatus · Jul 14, 2009, 06:05 AM // 06:05

OK, everytime i go to download texmod windows media players pops up and says that it doesnt support this kind of file. where do i go from here?

Long dead thread, but for anyone else running into Loveless Rage's problem... Look on the right: "<No package selected>" There's your problem. Click on the package name and you'll get a description of the package to run (if the creator of the package included one).

Texmod itself is a zip file. Do you mean the .tpf files?

If so, it sounds like your browser is misconfigured to try to open the files. Instead, right click on them and save them to the hard drive somewhere.

SpyderArachnid · Jul 15, 2009, 12:48 AM // 00:48

Another thing you might wanna try, is running Textmod with Admin privledges.

My GW runs off Admin access, so my Textmod has to run with Admin access. I've had mods that don't work cause I didn't run it with Administrative Permissions.

Also, I use "Cartography Made Easy Complete Collection". Works great. This way, I have all maps, and don't have to keep downloading new files when I want to move onto the next area.

http://www.mediafire.com/?k50zdqnehwn

That's the link from Wiki for Cartography Made Easy Complete Collection. Make sure that when you are running Textmod, that you don't already have Guild Wars open as well. I know that sounds like a stupid thing, but it has happened. Once you select your program (GW.exe) and then selected the file you wish to use (any .tpf), click the box at the bottom that says Run. And if Guild Wars does an update, you'll need to close Guild Wars after the update, and click Run again. Otherwise, your stuff won't show up.
