Hello everyone,

The Beta for this Ascalon Pre-Mod has been tested and after some comments, tips etc. I successfully uploaded the first Alpha version. (V 1.0)
Maybe some people find bugs with the textures inside these .tpf files or maybe improvements are needed! So feel free to post your comments about this Ascalon Pre-mod Pack!!

The .rar file i've uploaded contains three .tpf files (Texmod):

- Ascalon City
- Old Ascalon, including Sardelac Sanitarium (Outpost)
- Map Update

Click above for .tpf download
----------------------------------------
I'm planning on making the other regions also Pre, more info about this will be post also in this thread. I'll keep this thread up-to-date, so keep looking about new info and ingame pictures!

xxod

I never expected someone to make this, but it's something I've always wanted. Thanks.

Update: The RAR file I downloaded is corrupted. Has anyone had any similar errors?

Works Fine here

Redownloading the RAR file gave me a clean copy. The fault was probably MegaUpload's.

The mod functions as intended. Textures in Ascalon City, Old Ascalon, and Sardelac Sanitarium are altered.

Only textures at high detail are altered, meaning that running this mod with terrain quality less than "High" will have no visible effect. It also means that only the textures closest to you are shown as intended (except in screenshots), as LOD textures have not been altered, giving a "chunky" feel during actual play.

All in all, this is nice for screenshots.

My first thought was: nothing special... until i realized it's post searing Ascalon

Witchblade · Oct 10, 2007, 01:18 PM // 13:18

just saw this was reposted here

so gonna thank you again, xxod ^^

btw, like i said in the modding thread, you should post a few mirrors (or that bypass thingy for MU) lotsa people have "country slot problems" with MU (btw, never dl their toolbar)

here's the repost of the mirror i posted on that topic

@xxod: if for any reason you mind me mirroring your mod, pm me asap and i'll edit this ofc

Not to be completely noob-ish about this, but I'm a fan of modding Oblivion but had no idea you could mod GW. I assume it just replaces textures, and only "sticks" so long as they don't update content that would overwrite the particular texture. Where can I learn about GW modding, what is allowed and what isn't, that sorta thing? Can someone point me to a GREAT thread about it?

Thanks Witchblade for host the .rar file at rapidshare. I've found someone who host my .tpf files, so no download code etc anymore

This sounds great

.. I think the next step will be a snowed under Ascalon. Great idea helloworld!

As the lack of time, school music etc. I think i'm going to upload the whole map with images and especially the ground and sky texture. The modding isn't that hard :P. So if you like modding i'll give you the textures and code of image in the Texmod.txt file

Official Wiki Page

ANet has said that modifying textures (and it is just as you said, simply client-side modification of textures, nothing more) is alright, in that they won't go after you for doing it. However, if you screw up your computer or game, they also won't help you. Of course, the worst thing that could happen is needing to reinstall GW I think.

Download Texmod, there is topic i think about it, or just use google

They load the .tpf files into your Texmod, for help use google

i hope you extracted the textures from last Wintersday or you're gonna wait

But i dont think more than changing sky/ground textures can be done
i dunno how to make things "darker". I was wondering if a "lighting" effect such as the one outside Ember Light Camp can be modded. Didnt figured that out, though ^^ (Night/Day feature ftw

)
