Ok guys, I was skeptical after seeing some scattered reports of bans for this kinda thing, so I wrote to Anet. Below is my post, and their "non-automated" reply, which took almost the full 24 hours to reach me.

Hey

There has been alot of talk on various fansites of being allowed to "mod" textures for the game.

Before I even give any THOUGHT to trying this, I want to find out whether it is legal and complies to all the ANet policies, as some people claim to have been banned, whilst others claim to have proof of being allowed to do it.

That link shows the article

Thanks

And their response

Unfortunatly i wont be modding untill they totally throw bans out the window. I think if they are the ones who put the mod out there they shouldn't ban for the results of their actions. To many are out using now i think they should legalise it..its not hurting anyone but yourself anyways.

what about that ;o

ElinoraNeSangre · Jul 04, 2007, 05:00 PM // 17:00

If I understand correctly, this is not modifying the software or decompiling ect. You're not actually modifying the software, you're just shimming in (is that the right word?) a texture. It's local only, and is not modifying gw.exe or gw.dat. I could be wrong, though (heh it's happened before).

It's a fine line granted, but it's still there. Some clarification would be good.

That aside, it occurs to me that perhaps we should be taking the chat to the chat thread, and leave this thread just for the screenshots: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10173288

Guild wiki is completely broken and i got a question, once the ATEX is extracted and converted to PNG then edited how do i get that back into the dat so i can see my changes?

Jumping Is Uselss · Jul 05, 2007, 02:00 AM // 02:00

Still experimenting with modding. Here is a guick job I've done with my cape.

anyone know how to remove shininess? Or does anyone know when im suppose to press F8?

[DS] · Jul 05, 2007, 03:23 AM // 03:23

the shiny bit is covered in the wiki guide. you have to get the texture that makes it shiny and make it black (there are examples in the guide)
