Addons for Prophecies Classic
Extensions to User:Asuka's Prophecy's GW Classic UI mod. Credit for Original mod goes to User:Asuka. Includes Classic Green Party Member add button, Minimize/Maximize/Close, Classic style HP bars in party window (no gold trim or shiny effect, the original way it was) Keep in mind texmod cannot resize polygons or animate them so the original X buttons in top right had to be fit with the smaller style buttons in todays GW UI.

In-game Mission Maps (IGMM)
This is a mod that adds a walk-through of red dots for each mission on the map itself, highlighting important places and bosses located within. It also shows a "times table" for any mission with a time limit for Masters. The Mission Map (U) generally gives a better view than the World Map does. These maps are heavily based off of Celestia's maps on the Wiki *Props*. Note: This mod does work with Cartography Made Easy, but ONLY if IGMM is loaded before CME (higher on the queue or list of mods).

Photo Booth - Screenshot Helper
Photo Booth creates a blank grey space in the Isle of the Nameless explorable zone to create an even and glare-free background for screenshots and video. The area has the ability to use skills and is in range of enemy dummies to attack as well as friendly NPCs to buff. Note:
 * This mod isn't recommended for normal play as it turns a decent amount of the Battle Isles environments into solid white & grey.
 * I found the images to be much more clear if you turn Post Processing Effects off for the screenshots.

Render Image Helper - Stylist Background changed to bright white
Although an odd wee mod, I have found it infinitely useful in producing high qualities renders. It changes the background of the dye preview/Stylist screens to bright white, making it easy to fuzzy select in any image editing program, (such as gimp)and be removed. When saved in a format which saves alpha levels (such as png's) it helps create images which look rendered.
