Finally, an in-game map of the rift!

Unzip the file into Horizons\Resources\interface\maps.

You should have a directory called "The_Rift" amongst the others, like Chiconis, Kion and Sslanis.

See the Mods section of the wiki for the link!

Back in the day, this mod was floating round. I have been useing it of late, and I LOVE it. Basically, it gives you 2 rows of 10 (or might be 8, can't remember off the top of my head) tabs in a chat box. Let me condense all my Chat rooms and Tells into one window.

The problem I've found is, on a patch, whatever the code changes, gets overwriten, and the mod gowz <POOF > Very unhappy.

So, what I was wondering is, if someone that knows more about how the game works could take a look at it, and see if whatever is changed can be protected from overwrite, maybe be moved to the Override folder somehow.

Had to zip it to attach. Only thing in there is the exe. heh

AGH Viewer [right click, save as]

You probably need These DX Files (put them in the folder with the exe if needed)

Readme / changelog

This is the GUI driven C# adaptation of my old command line agh2dds program. It converts to tga by default, which is a more common format than DDS, and the game will convert TGA back to AGH automatically. It will view almost any texture type in the game, but non-power-of-two textures get distorted tofit. So be aware of this if you're wanting to use it to nake texture mods.

Feel free to ask questions, or request features. I haven't looked at the code since Jan 2006 though, so any updates may take a while.

 

You are either gonna like this or hate it, but please note a couple of things. 
 
1. Try to use a soft colour (like a pastel) they are easier on the eyes

 
2. Some people do not like colours in chats so you may end up being put on ignore if you abuse it. 

 
Step1



Within game 

type the following command

/alias d c dragon <!--color r=0.5 g=0.5 b=1>

/saveui



This creates the new alias command



Close down horizons



Step2



Open windows explorer and goto the following location



c:\program files\artifact entertainment\horizons\prefs\chaos_chasing\UICommu nicationPrefs.def



Open this file in notepad



Scroll down to the bottom of the file.



Amend the alias command entry to the following



ALIAS

{

string Long = "c dragon <!--color r=0.5 g=0.5 b=1>"

string Short = "d"

}



Save the file



NB. There is tab formatting within the file, probably best to leave the formatting as it is



Reload Horizons on the same character.



Type /d test



And watch the result in dragon chat



NB for market



/alias m c marketplace <!--color r=0.5 g=0.5 b=1>

/saveui



NB to change the colours you have to edit offline directly into the DEF file doing it in client does not work



NB type

/alias d



to delete the alias command 

 

Well, that's what "Player Customizations" are.  Understand that "hacking" is a benign activity.  It is taking something and modifying or customizing it to do something else, do its job better, or otherwise do neat things.  Examples include:  The Map Pack, HCC, emote packs, and the notorious setscale command.

Hacking is NOT developing cheats, exploits or doing otherwise malicious things.  That is called cracking.  Cracking activity and disclosure of unpatched vulnerabilities and exploits will not be tolerated.

That being said, feel free to discuss any hacks, provided that they abide by the above rule.
