KSMod 3.2 - High Definition Textures, Multi-Client Virtualization, UT99 Sound Effects

I keep getting a "Unable to enable High_Def_Composite". Like maxxfury, I'm running winXP Pro. Any ideas why I'd be having an issue with this?

I can't use the Multi-loader. For some reason it's not working. How can I enable the Virtualization?

Edit the Settings.ini file.

I have no idea why it wouldn't work.

Got it working.

What did you end up having to do?

At some point in time, I installed a browser toolbar called ForceField (came with my zone alarm security suite according the their website). That's what caused the problem. I'm still trying to find out where to uninstall it. Just killing the process for now.

Weird thing is...what would the toolbar have to do with ksmod??? I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Oh boy I am happy!. This was what kept the high rez and the ut sounds from loading. Forcefield came with the Zonealarm Tool bar. Weird that kept KSmod from working properly. You ahould be able to use the remove/add programs from the control panel to get rid of the tool bar. It should be separate from any other Zonealarm stuff.

Thanks, I updated the OP to reflect the security software that is incompatible with KSMod.

Dunno if this bit of info is relevant at all to KSMod, but here goes:

If you installed a game in the default Program Files folder and want to mod it without Windows (Vista/7) getting all angry on you, do the following steps.

- Locate the installation folder (eg. Guild Wars) within Program Files or Program Files (x86);
- Right click it, select "Properties";
- Go to the "Security" tab;
- Click "Edit...";
- Click "Add";
- Enter your Windows username in the provided field and click "Check Names";
- Click "OK";
- You're back to the Security window, with your newly added user selected. On the bottom half, there is a list of permissions. Tick the box for "Full control" (under "Allow" ofc );
- Click "OK" all the way.

You can add Comodo to that list. Virtualization does not function if it is installed. Textures and UT SFX still work.

Tested with Comodo Firewall Pro v. 3.0 in WinXP Home SP3 (32 bit).

Thanks, updated OP.

Anyway to turn of the sound effects?

In the Settings.ini make sure the line reads

UT99_Sound_FX=0

0 = disabled
1 = enabled

I'd like to add that random stuff in my inventory and storage (which I obviously HAVE seen before) is also coming up invisible upon game launch, such as my Igneous stones in Pre-searing, various minipets (new ones I acquired and a few old ones), and some stackable items, some non-stackable, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I deleted and rebuilt my dat with -image the other night, to no avail. All items appear normally when directly running gw.exe. The quoted post above is the only reference to the problem I've found.

My install dir is e:\Guild Wars\, so it's not a weird name thing, and my e drive is a separate partition with nothing on it but GW.

Thanks guys, I'll look into this bug at some point. I think I might know what the problem is.

I also ran into this virtualization bug yesterday - opened a birthday present and was greeted with an invisible icon. Was rather disconcerting at first, until I realised that the present was there but that I just couldn't see it. Then I came here and discovered these posts.

I disabled virtualization and can now see the icon. In the meantime I'll stick to running a second instance under sandboxie (which uses up a few extra gigs of disk space, so not the ideal way of doing things).

OS is Win7 x64.

Yea, definitely ran into this same issue with virtualization enabled. Seems to get worse the longer the game runs. Will have to disable that for now, but it does help performance on my little Acer Ferarri One, so I would greatly appreciate a fix for this.

The Wrath of Kahn

I've been running this for a bout a week now and the virtualization feature is great. The problem though, is that the GW launcher fails whenever I try to download the high def textures using the -image switch. The download will begin but will never get past the 10% mark before the error occurs and I'm presented with the GW bug report form.

Just wondering if anyone else has had trouble downloading these textures and, if so, if they were able to get around it.

Thanks.

You probably shouldn't launch KSMod with the -image switch. Just make a shortcut of gw.exe to do that.

Yeah, that did it on this first go. Much appreciated.
