Running AugTyr

Download and extract the archive, then run the AugTyr.exe file alongside Guild Wars 2. The game must be in windowed fullscreen mode for AugTyr to work.

Node types

• Reach node (pink): You're just meant to get to it.

• [0.3] Teleport node (cyan): Get to it then teleport to the next node. It should have some text attached to specify how to teleport to the next node unless it's obvious. Some possibilities are:

  • Using a waypoint. These teleport nodes will have the relevant waypoint code attached to them, which can be easily copied.

  • Entering or leaving an instance. These are both considered "teleports" as there is no limit to the distance immediately traveled in those situations.

  • Map-specific teleports, e.g. the Divinity's Reach tunnels, Black Citadel elevators, Mad Mardine's cattlepult...

• Heart node (yellow): Get to it then get working on a heart.

• Heart wall node (orange): Don't continue past it until you have the specified % on the nearby heart.

[0.3] Report console

AugTyr now comes with a report console where helpful messages are be displayed.

Some messages fade out on their own, others stay. The console can be cleared or hidden. Default keybindings for these actions are outlined below.

There are three types of messages:

• Info (black): Reports on what AugTyr is generally doing.

• Warning (yellow): Reports on wrong inputs that should be noted but can be safely ignored.

• Error (red): Reports on problems that the current operation cannot continue because of.

The console maintains the smallest size necessary to display all of its messages. When there are no messages, the console will be tiny but still visible (unless specifically hidden).

[0.3] Unofficial routes

Routes take me a long time to make, and I'm focusing on implementing features right now. Some people have been contributing their routes, but it also takes me a long time to review those.

At the same time, people want more available routes, faster.

As a solution, I've introduced the unofficial route system.

Routes found in the Routes directory are considered "official," and those in the UnofficialRoutes directory are "unofficial."

New route contributions will be added to the project unreviewed and bundled with releases, as unofficial routes. When loading a route, AugTyr will look for an unofficial route if an official one isn't found first.

Saving is unchanged. AugTyr will always save to the Routes directory.

[0.3] User config

This version introduces a user config system, which lets you change many ways in which AugTyr behaves.

The file can be found in AugTyr_Data/StreamingAssets/UserConfig.json. It is a json file that can be modified with any text editor (notepad should do, really).

Note: You might notice the json file contains C and C++ style comments. These are technically not allowed by the json specification, but Json.NET seems to be OK with them, so no problem for us.

There is no UI to change the user config. I might make one (separate from AugTyr itself) in the future.

Below is an overview of currently available options.

[0.3.1] Display options

• ScreenWidth (int) Set to a positive number to have AugTyr use it as the desired resolution width.

• ScreenHeight (int) Set to a positive number to have AugTyr use it as the desired resolution height.

• [0.4] TransparencyMethod (string) Select which method AugTyr should use to make the window transparent. Possible values are:

  • "ConstantBlit" A shader will explicitly set each pixel's transparency to zero.

  • "DiscardAllBlit" A shader will make all pixels be ignored, keeping the previous transparency of each one, which should be zero.

  • "DefaultBlit" Set all pixel's transparency to zero using Unity's default BlitCopy shader.

  • "NeglectBlit" Tell Unity to let the code decide what to blit, then blit nothing.

  • "ByColor" Instruct Windows to treat a certain color as transparency, and paint that color as the background. Not recommended as it is slower than the other options, and doesn't allow for semitransparency.

Behavior options

• AutoUpdateGameDatabase (bool) Set to false to disable game database updates. AugTyr should not establish any internet connection if this is the case, but in turn the game database (used to resolve waypoint names into waypoint codes) might become outdated.

• [0.4] RouteAutoload (string) The route autoload method to use. Possible values are:

  • "None" Never autoload routes.

  • "All" Autoload the route on every map change (not recommended, as instances are considered different maps).

  • "Existing" Autoload the route when entering a map that has a route created for it.

  • "NonInstances" Autoload routes when entering any map that's not an instance (beware, this relies on an updated game database to determine if a map is an instance).

• StartInFollowMode (bool) Set to true to instruct AugTyr to be in follow mode when started, instead of edit mode.

• OrientationHelperDefault (bool) Whether or not the orientation helper (the follow mode green line) should be on by default.

• ConsoleFilter (int) Possible values are:

  • 0 Show all messages.

  • 1 Filter Info messages.

  • 2 Filter Info and Warning messages.

  • 3 Filter all messages.

Visual options

• [0.4] ConsoleFontSize (int) The font size for all console messages.

• RouteWidth (float) The width of all lines drawn, in all modes.

• NodeSize (float) The size of all nodes drawn, in all modes. Set this to 1 to use old size from v0.1.

[0.5] Follow mode options

• ReachNodeRadius (float) Radius around nodes you need to reach to consume them. Set to 1 to restore the old, precise behavior.

• FollowMaxRouteLength (float) The max length of the route to show in front of you. Set to 100 to restore the old behavior.

• MinDisplayNodeCount (int) The minimum amount of nodes to show in front of you. This takes precedence over FollowMaxRouteLength, but neither of them go past Teleport nodes.

• ShowFollowBacktrack (bool) Set to true to also see recently consumed nodes. The settings for how many will be shown are the same as for upcoming nodes.

Input options

The only input option is InputGroups (object), which in turn can contain the following options.

Input option format

Each input group contains a list of input actions. An input action is an object with the following elements:

• ActionName (string) The name of the action. Possibilities are as seen above.

• KeyName (string) The name of the key that's bound to this action. All possible keys are listed at the beginning of the UserConfig.json file.

• Control (bool) Whether or not the Ctrl key should be required as a part of the input. This element can be omited to use the default value of false.

Each action can be bound multiple times, or not at all. Additionally, binding multiple actions to the same input should work as expected, but produces no warning although it probably should; such a warning might be added in the future.

Follow mode tips

• [0.5] In this mode you will "consume" any visible node you get close enough to. Then, the next node will become selected.

• Consuming a teleport node with a waypoint code will automatically copy the code to your clipboard.

• If you lose the route somehow, you can press 5 to select the closest node to you, visible or not.

FAQ

Why does AugTyr connect to the internet?

AugTyr uses the official GW2 HTTPS API to build a "game database" of sorts, to be used to resolve waypoint names into waypoint codes.

The download already comes with an up-to-date built database, but AugTyr still makes one API call to check if there has been an update that could've made the database outdated.

All HTTPS API calls can be disabled by setting the AutoUpdateGameDatabase option to false.

How can I tell the beginning of a route?

For now there's two options:

1. Select the first node (Ctrl + Numpad 4 by default in edit mode), then change to follow mode. The orientation helper will point you in the direction of the first node, try to figure it out based on that.

2. Since most routes are just 3D versions of Lulle's routes, you check the route for the map you want beforehand here.

A better solution will be integrated into AugTyr in the future.

AugTyr's resolution is wrong

You can set the resolution you want explicitly in the user config file.

I only see a black screen

This has been reported to happen if Windows Aero is disabled. Try enabling it.

Something else that might be related is global graphic options, like those set up via the NVIDIA control panel and such.

If that doesn't help, you can try all possible values of the TransparencyMethod config entry and see if one of them works for you.
