Mods Overview

GW Launcher can inject two kinds of mods into the game as it launches:

DLL plugins (.dll, or .lnk shortcuts to a .dll) — code mods like GWToolbox. See DLL Plugins.
TexMods (.tpf, .zip) — texture replacements, loaded natively via gMod (no uMod needed). See TexMods.

Three ways to load a mod

There are three sources, and they stack:

Source	Applies to	How
`gwlauncher\plugins\`	Every account	Drop files in a `plugins` folder next to `GW_Launcher.exe`.
`<gw-install>\plugins\`	Only accounts launched from that game folder	Drop files in a `plugins` folder next to that copy’s `Gw.exe`.
Per-account list	One specific account	Add them in the account’s Mod Manager.

The two plugins-folder sources are only used for an account when its Use mods in plugin folders box is ticked.

Per-account mods

To attach mods to a single account regardless of folders:

The Mod Manager lists your mods grouped into DLLs and TexMods. Pick Add Mod to browse for files and Remove Selected to drop them.

Load order

Mods load in alphabetical order of filename. This matters for TexMods: a texture already replaced by 1_FirstTexmod.tpf won’t be overridden by 2_SecondTexmod.tpf. Name files with a numeric prefix to control precedence — see TexMods.
