Tex mod and mapping

Ok I will TRY and explain how to run texmod for all your mapping needs!


Firstly click on this link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UNU4JK8T

And download texmod.zip . If you cannot open the file this means you need to install winzip or win rar


http://www.win-rar.com/downloadnow.html (Winrar)

http://www.win-rar.com/downloadnow.html (Winzip)

Ok when you double click texmod.zip inside is a file called Texmod.exe extract (or drag) this file to your desktop.



If in Vista or Windows 7 Right click the file and select "Run as Administrator" (Windows Xp is just a double click) you should then get a window looking like this:



Ok next up you need to click "Target applicaion" which is the yellow folder top left.

What you do is navigate to where your guildwars.exe file is kept which is normally:

C:\Program Files\Guild Wars or C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars in Windows 7

Texmod should now look something like this:

Ok next we need to download some more stuff from GuildWiki if you go here:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide_to_modifying_in-game_graphics/Player_made_modifications

Here is hosted a collection of files that can be used with texmod all made by game players there are several options at bottom of page but you need this link:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guide_to_modifying_in-game_graphics/Player_made_modifications/UI_enhancements

Scroll down the page until you reach this heading "Cartography Made Easy " folow the campaign links for the various websites that host the files i have chosen elona which is http://www.mediafire.com/?jommizgz5zz

Now you download the file which is in this case called "Elona_CartographyMade_Easy_2009"

Next you press the yellow folder above the cross and locate the file you just downloaded and open it.

When the file is loaded into Texmod you should see the name of the file located under the heading "package name" select it to it is highlighted in blue , Texmod should now look like this :



All that is left to do is press "Run" and Guildwars should start as normal.

When you start playing you will notice a kind of "fog" this will make it easier to map.

Well I hope this guide helps you to run Texmod, any questions just ask.

Thanks goes to evol for giving me a dumed down way to download this.
