Item list populated directly from interal files, so any new items are automatically added as soon as a new patch is downloaded. All modifications are stored in a separate.dat files, so no official game data is overwritten. Option to revert and reapply all modifications. Batch Import/Export with ModPacks. Upscale textures to any resolution.
Hi, I hope you can help (apologies if this has been posted in the wrong section).I've been wanting to download a program called Texmod, which modifies in-game textures. I've read numerous accounts on other forums that many download links for this program are dangerous and contain trojans or viruses.After a bit of searching, I eventually found the 'official' link to the zip file, but despite what people have said about this link being safe, the virustotal scan gives conflicting reports:Quite a few people think most of these detentions are false positives.
Would it be safe to download this file? Hi MelissaTG,Thanks for the reply. Could you tell me which site you downloaded texmod from, as I'm still not sure which is the 'official' one?Also, when you said there was a new version, is this the 1.0 version of texmod (instead of the 0.9b one most links lead to), as I've recently come across a 'newer version' of texmod called umod, apparently made by the same people. I have no idea if it's any safer than texmod, though.Hi AdvancedSetup,Thanks so much for agreeing to test the link. Hopefully I've put the tags in correctly:I've also come across a couple of other links recently - would it be okay to post these for testing in the next post?

I use Texmod for Bioware games (mostly Mass Effect) and it is available on their social network. I am fairly confident that it's clean, as a lot of modders on the Bioware social forum link directly to it.
If it was bad, I'm sure folks would raise a stink about it or it would be removed. You can easily find it by googling Texmod and Bioware together.As far as 'new version,' I was referring to the new version of MBAM. I've had the program for years and recently it prompted me to install a new version that looks completely different than the old one.

You can zip the file and attach it in a reply and I will submit it for review, or you can put the link for the download within CODE TAGS so that it's not a hyperlink click link and I'll download it and submit it for review.Thank youHi AdvancedSetup,Sorry if you've already seen this - I wasn't sure if I replied properly to this post or not.Thanks so much for agreeing to test the link.

I have scanned with KIS 14 With latest update result is CLEAN. I have scanned on virustotal and the result is 8/53.
I have deleted the file is the file safe? If not will i get infected by it even though i did not run to program and only unzip it?
To test it thanks. Hi MelissaGT,Sorry for misunderstanding - I thought you meant a newer version of Texmod, not MBAM.Does your anti-virus software think texmod is suspicious as well as MBAM?Hi LilacLizard, I use Norton 360 Premier in conjunction with MBAM and Norton never had a problem with texmod. I can open texmod, but when I try to run any packages MBAM freaks out unless I turn off the real-time monitoring.
I've read that MBAM doesn't like the way texmod works to load textures into a game as that type of behavior looks suspicious.Neither Norton nor MBAM flagged texmod when it was downloaded from Bioware's Social page.
Modding Support made easy!uMod 2.0 is now released! Take a look at the new asset threadWhat is it?uMod 2.0 is a complete solution for adding modding support to your game allowing for custom assets scripts and scenes to be loaded at run-time. UMod 2.0 allows the community to create modded content within the Unity editor and export the assets to a run-time loadable format.What about UMod 1.x?uMod 2.0 has been completely redesigned to allow for new and exciting features to be implemented in an efficiency and effective way meaning that support for previous version will be dropped as we cannot maintain backwards compatibility. The way we see it is that there are three main types of mod that you could create with uMod:Script modding: The modder would create custom C# scripts for the target game to either change or add functionality. With our system, modded code is allowed to access game specific code if the developer chooses to expose it.
An example could be adding wall running support to an fps game or even replacing the scripts for the character controller to provide a different feel to the game.Asset modding: The modder would create a new prefab that is designed to either replace an existing game asset such as the player character or to add new assets to the game. A good example would be adding driving functionality to a game by providing a vehicle prefab with appropriate controller scripts.Scene modding: The modder would create a whole new level or environment for the game including adding spawn points for game specific objects such as enemies, players or event triggers.It really depends on the game and how much the developer want to expose to the community but there are a lot of possibilities.Its worth noting that with our system you can include any combination of these modding types.Hope this helps. Unlike previous version of uMod, the developer will now have full control over the build process if they desire meaning that they could create their own personalized exporter window instead of the default one provided, as well as specify assets that should or should not be included through build scripts. Developers will also be able to generate a mod tools unity package that contains the uMod build engine and the exporter window (or customized exporter window if provided) along with any assets or editor tools.uMod 2.0 no longer requires modders to provide a script containing the name and version of the mod. Instead the this information can now be entered into a settings window prior to export.

Hi Stormy102These features have already been implemented in version 2.0You will be able to get the following information prior to actually loading the mod:. Mod Name. Mod Version.
Core uMod version (Used for backwards compatibility). Cardiac patch market. Mod Description. Mod Author. 8 byte identification codeWe have also implemented a helper class which is used to manage a local directory as a modding directory. You will simply need to assign the path to the directory at startup and then you will have access to the following methods.
It's been quite a while since I last updated this. We are still actively developing uMod 2.0 however he have had a few issues getting our system to work with more recent versions of unity (Due to app domains and security) however we have now found a solution which we think will be perfect for our needs.We have also been developing a separate asset that uMod will rely on which has shifted focus slightly away from uMod, however this asset is approaching completion so we will be able to push to get uMod 2.0 finished.I will update this thread soon with more detail.
Thanks for looking. Hi,Progress on uMod 2.0 is good and steady, although we are still trying to find solutions to a few smaller problems.The main issue we are having is that we cannot restrict the access that modded code will have to a users computer. This is mainly due to the fact that mono (Or the mono that Unity uses) does not implement the relevant security assemblies. This means that any code run within Unity runs with full access, even if it is loaded into a separate app domain, whereas in.Net you are able to impose a security policy which will cause a security exception to be thrown without the correct privileges.As a result of this, our security system is only able to prevent mods from running if they contain any code that accesses any restricted namespaces or assemblies, such as System.IO. If anyone is able to come up with an alternative solution we would be very interested as it is undesirable to prevent a mod running simply because it breaches a namespace restriction.On a brighter note we have been working on the scripting system for the last few weeks including the interaction between game code and modded code and its safe to say that there are far more possibilities than there were in the previous version. Modded scripts will now be able to:.
Create custom mono behaviours scripts that run in game. Receive game events in a similar way to mono behaviour messages (OnDestroy, OnTriggerEnter, etc). Events are defined by the developer. Inherit from in game scripts to extend functionality. Attach game scripts to modded objects. Much much more.Its worth noting that the developer ultimately has full control of which classes and members are exposed for modding.Communication between game and mod code will still be achieved via magic strings as used in the previous version but they are far more robust and capable in uMod 2.0.

The following code shown is an example of how modded code can access game code. As part of the scripting tests we have been testing multi-mod loading to check for any clashing behaviour that could cause problems. At the moment there are no issues and multiple mods seem very happy to run along side each other simultaneously, although these are only simple purely scripted test mods.
We will need to test with much more substantial content to be certain.We are also trying to figure out the best way of ensuring that each exported mod is assigned its own unique mod identifier. We have thought about exposing a event in the build engine that request the developer to generate this key and this is probably the method we will go for. This method provides the most flexibility since each developer can implement their own generation algorithm, probably using a key server of some form to ensure the code is unique. At the moment for testing purposes, the build engine simply generates a random 8-byte id which is not great.We would be interested if anyone has any ideas on this.Its still a little early to post a release date since there are a few smaller issues we need to nail down but we will post a date a soon as we can be sure to meet it.Let us know what you think, Feedback is much appreciated.Thanks for lookingTrivial Interactive. Not quite,Resources.Load would not be able to load the prefab.
Its used only for game assets and should probably only be used by the game.The mod would be able to load the prefab using the code I posted above. Its also worth mentioning that mods are also able to request scene changes.The game is always able to load any content that a mod contains using a similar approach to above. UMod allows the developer to have full access to the mod as well as control over what mods can and can't do.Hope this helps.

UMod allows the developer to have full access to the mod as well as control over what mods can and can't do.Hope this helps. You can use 'prefab nodes' to mark the location in a scene where an unavailable object will be placed. It is simply replaced with the target object when the scene is loaded. The same thing apply's for textures using a 'texture node' script.We realise that this isn't ideal as the modder will have no visual representation of the object at design time. To solve this issue we plan to implement a custom mod tools builder that allows developers to put together a mod tools package specific to the game.
In this package you will be able to include custom editor tools as well as scene assets to help modders create modded levels.This won't be until a later update though. It`s starting to be a good tradition - each month I am asking you about current status.Yes, I know that now we have summer and everyone wants to have a vacation.I am so annoying with my status-requests because now I have finished all prepositional part of work in my project (I am doing something like game-maker studio for numerous game developers who also waiting for me) and my current plan is to wrap such assets as UFPS, Voxeland and Unistorm into independent dll-modules-mods. So I am completely dependent on release date of uMod2. Well its that time already and as promised uMod 2.0 is now available in beta.There will probably be a few updates per week with new features or bug fixes but I will post here every time a new version is added, so you can watch this thread for notifications.The documentation will be expanded over the next week or so and uploaded, but as of now there are only a few example scripts and the to get you started. Demos and tutorials will also follow shortly.If you find a bug, then please report it using the included bug report tool (Tools-uMod 2.0-Bug Report or Tools-uMod Exporter 2.0-Bug Report) or via our website and we will work to fix it as soon as possible.To get started take a look at the page.
Make sure you select the correct version to suit your Unity version otherwise you may receive a selection of errors.As of now, we are uncertain of how long the beta will run but we will update when we know more.Thanks for looking.

Click to expand.Hi,Which Unity version are you using? That error occurs when you use the (5.0.0) version of the exporter with a version of Unity that is newer than 5.3.0.
Its happens because of changes to the way scene loading works in Unity.Also, Renaming of the assets is essential if multiple mods are to be supported. If the build succeeds then the assets will be restored to their state before the build but it looks like this is not happening for you. I will update to make sure all assets are restored regardless of the build status.There errors that appear after the first one are a direct cause and will disappear when the first error is fixed.
