User Guide is out of date

[drakumus]

I'm having trouble following the User guide pointed to in the readme and setting up MM with Guild Wars 2.
here: https://github.com/jmquigs/ModelMod/blob/master/Docs/userguide/README.md

Set up steps completed:

• Created a profile and pointed it at Gw2-64.exe
• add the d3d9.dll found in ModelMod-1.1.0.4/bin/modelmod_64 to the bin64 folder in guild wars 2
• Setup Blender and run the setup script
• follow the Start instructions and launch the game

Issues:

• No UI displays ingame for texture selection
• the "Launch Time" config mentioned in the UserGuide is no where to be found in the MM desktop application's UI
• Error in log:
  ThreadId(2): Snap confile does not exist: "C:\snapconfig.yaml"
  ThreadId(2): Using defaults
• No snapshots being saved to what is suggested to be the Documents directory of MM: "C:\Users\R\Documents\ModelMod"

Are there any known issues with having the game on a different drive from MM?
My install is on D drive but MM is on C drive
Can anyone offer any guidance for using this tool with Gw2?

Yeah the users guide is a bit wrong now. You can ignore "Launch Time" that is obsolete. The snapconfig message is not a problem, you don't need that.

What input profile are you using in? For GW2 I suggest the "F keys profile". Then while in game like on character select, hit ctrl-F6 to clear the texture list then ctrl-F3 or ctrl-F4 to cycle textures. You should see something on screen turn green-ish (indicating its selected). If not then something is wrong and I'll probably need the entire log file to debug.

I tried the F key set first and then the other key profile. I didn't notice a green. I'll try again and see if I notice it this time.

I'm experiencing the same issue as OP. I'm able to see the textures cycling however it won't save any snapshots. I'm assuming the intended directory for saving snapshots is documents/ModelMod. I tested on both 1.1.0.3 and 1.1.0.4 to no avail
