Guild Wars 2

I’m working on a native code MOD based on the Guild Wars 2 Combat Mode MOD & idea by Michael Puckett & Jayce. There’s a couple of reasons why I started this:

Project Home on GitHub

Configurable Settings
This tool has a UI to configure all settings, so you don’t need to dig into code to change options. I’m also planning to enable several settings, so you can have separate settings for each of your characters.

More Options
There are several additional options you can configure:

-Shut down the tool when you close Guild Wars 2
-Start the tool minimized (currently to the task bar, working on System Tray)
-Vertical Offset for the cross-hair overlay
-More control over cross-hair display in/out of combat mode
-Auto-enable combat mode when using a skill key
-Auto-switch combat mode when switching weapons
-Auto-disable combat mode when chatting or opening UI windows (e.g. inventory, etc.)
-Toggle tool visibility, so it’s as close as possible to a GW2 UI window

Mouse Trap
These MODs (both the original and mine) require you to run Guild Wars 2 in Windowed Mode. If you have a dual screen setup, like me, you know what that means: the mouse is not “trapped” in your game screen but can move off to your second screen desktop while you’re gaming. So I added an optional mouse trap that locks the mouse on the primary screen in Windowed Mode.

Runtime
The original tool is written in AHK (AutoHotKey), which is an interpreter, not a compiler. This means every time the tool executes a line of code in the script, it is re-interpreted. For this reason, the original tool is kind of CPU hungry (it typically consumes between 5 & 10% of my CPU).

This code is compiled ONCE and then executed natively – it is therefore much faster and requires much less CPU (between 0 and 1% of CPU usage in Task Manager).

Status
Right now, the goal is to test the tool with a limited number of people to make sure all the T’s are crossed.

At this point, feedback from people that use non-US keyboards and non-standard GW2 installs (e.g. Steam) would be most welcome.

I wouldn’t mind some UI modifications in game. I just wish to move some things around, like the map and chat box. Still can’t see how the many fascists on here think everyone should have the same UI, as if moving the mini-map around is going to make you better at the game.

I would like to play as a ranger with an actual croshair.
I don’t like pressing left mouse button all the time…
And targeting is slow actually. Autotargeting is even worse sometimes than don’t using it.

Vindictus had an awesome system…

I guess the first question people will ask is, will using this app get you banned or hacked?

I’m sure you are’nt doing anything dodgy intentionally but it would be good imho to get a steer or confirmation from Anet about it’s use.

I’ve been using a controller and holding the left shoulder button down the whole time.
This mod would free up that button.

I don’t know if I want to use anther outside program. Because my controller driver often brakes.

Also a if Anet ever added this kind of feature to this game. It would add a whole new player base to the game (action mmo crowd).

tried it… seems promising. the old CM Mod has been abandoned so i’m rooting for this developement. now how can I attack with my left mouse button? Thanks

Not sure what your issue is with the name calling but you can move the mini map to any corner you want with no mod required.
