[Guild Wars 2] A possible new way to mod Guild Wars 2 that is quite promising. (1 Viewer)

[rspkers]

We tried it before and it had too many limitations. However, a reddit user created a program that allows you to edit the 3D model directly. This allows you to add and remove amrour parts and skins. In addition, it's possible to create custom armour using base armour models as well. I'm not skilled enough to work with it, but perhaps someone who is will find this to be really useful. I'm not certain of the scope of his program, but it looks promising regardless.
Here's the thread.
Another thing to note: Guild Wars 2 is completely free to play now, so there's no barriers.
[Release] ModelMod: modify art in games • /r/Guildwars2

I really enjoyed GW2. Unsure if I want to go back to it but a good set of mods will definitely be enticing.

I'd love to see some mods for GW2, It's still a great game and has beautiful graphics.

 

[Daedalus]

Agreed. Fashion's a real letdown ingame, so a mod might spice things up. Hell, maybe someone'll come up with bikini armor or even a nude mod.

 

[Vergil]

Nice discovery! Will have a look into that.

 

[Ninski]

If there's anyone that can make a nude mod for GW2 it's Vergil =)

Can't get the tool to work since GW2 uses a 64 bit client. I've tried to make it use 32 with a command but that didn't worked out. Did anyone else had more luck?

I just picked up GW2 again after years away, when I went to download the client, the 64 bit was the default, but there were 32-bit options too, further down the page. I'm not familiar with these things, bu it seems like a 32-bit version would need to be downloaded and used to even attempt this and would likly only apply to the 32-bit version. Anyways...

 

[Vergil]

Thank you Zela! I will reinvestigate that :)

 

[Vergil]

I've had no luck, the 32-bit installer installs a 64-bit version. :(

dang ive been looking forwards to a gw2 nude mod for a long time. maybe one day we will have one ;-;

 

[ZelaXaleRo]

Ah well..sorry if i got anyone's hopes up reviving this thread a bit... Though, keeping a tight lock on their game ensures people don't mod around for the paid outfits and the like...That said GW2 is more about showing off than for self-satisfaction like other games.

I do appreciate a follow-up from the Legendary Vergil, honored.

 

[Vergil]

No problem. It was definitely worth a try! I hope this tool I've used will be updated to support 64bit games.

Bit of a necro, but i was curious if you had any luck with this? I took a peek at the guys subreddit and it looks like it updated it to work if you use the -32 command thing but otherwise no real x64 support.

 

[Vergil]

I've already tried it with the -32 command some months before. It sadly did not work.

 

[Lokiie1984]

Ah shame, would have been nice to see nude mods for GW2, especially with the new expansion coming out this month.

Yeah, me too.
Now, suppose someone can make this work on 64bit and we all start to mod our GW2 game, won't ANet detect it?

 

[Vergil]

Probably they can. But maybe they are okay with it like they were with Texmod and uMod.

 

[Daedalus]

Now I really hope it gets updated to 64bit.

So ModelMod does work for me with the -32 bit option. Confusingly, I had to target the gw2.exe launcher, (not Gw2-64.exe). I also had to start as Administrator. I'm using version ModelMod-1.0.0.13, with the latest patched GW2 client, and was able to follow his tutorial with it. I've confirmed I'm able to remove parts of the meshes and edit textures, but being able to repair the holes in the base layers of the meshes is currently beyond me. Still it seems quite promising if you have the tool expertise and can get the hooks to work.
