It's easy:
- Download the latest build (always the top link in the Downloads section on the right panel of this blog)
- Extract the downloaded zip to any folder - it doesn't have to be the GW2 folder, in fact it's better if it isn't. Just create a folder anywhere and put the contents of the zip in there.
- Run GW2 and log in, make sure the game is running in windowed or windowed fullscreen mode.
- Run GW2TacO.exe
- You're good to go.
Setting up TacO inside the game:
- In the top left menu bar you'll see a new icon, a TacO
- You can move the different TacO windows around by clicking the TacO menu and selecting "Window edit mode". Resizing and moving the windows will be possible that way.
- Once you've moved the TacO windows to convenient locations, turn off "Window edit mode" the same way you enabled it.
- The rest of the TacO setup should be self explanatory through enabling/disabling stuff in the TacO menu
- For some of the features you'll need to create an API key at https://account.arena.net/applications. Currently the "account" and "progression" features of the API keys are used. You can add the API key through the TacO menu.
Have fun :)

Deletehope can load subfolder poi data, and poi can have attr like title or caption for show text on poi
Deletewhen editor window is hidden, hope can realy hidden (without hidden click)
BoyC how do I contact you for help? I am running Windows 7 on Parallels on my mac. How can I be in the game (I only run gw2 on the Windows side) and open Taco? I am not a developer and not savvy in your world but trying to figure this out cause it looks so cool!
Deletedoes this work on linux
Deletehow does taco connect to guild wars if it is in a seperate folder
DeleteAnonymous do alt tab then run it
DeleteNo, this doesn't work on linux to my knowledge.
DeleteTacO uses the mumble API which works by the GW2 client opening a memory mapped file in the system at a specific url and writes the camera and other data in there for each frame. TacO opens this file as well and reads the data each frame.

Nice addon... (=
It's not the first false positive. I'll comtact the author of the virusscanner and report it as such, but currently I'm sitting at an xmas dinner. But food for thought: all the 54 other scanners, including all the major ones report TacO as safe.
Deletethank you for this..very nice and usefull !
ReplyDeleteBitdefender blocks the .exe
ReplyDelete1) Firewall: Server-requests outside of GuildWars-Server IPs (non-arena-net servers got pinged, but I dont see which ones -.- (how can I see them?)
2) Trojan/Malware security: Malware detected on .exe -> Quarantine
Any suggestions?
Please send in the exe through the false positive reporting tools of bitdefender so they can check it out and add it to their white list.
DeleteAs for non arenanet http requests, taco checks this blog on startup for the latest version id, and the gw2taco:// links you may find on some marker pack sites will make taco download markers from where they point to.

DeleteWhen I run the EXE my GW2 window is a black screen
ReplyDeleteSee the FAQ on this topic, please.
Deleteis there a way for TacO to track my DPS and Condi damage I am doing per target? If not, is there another program that you'd recommend?
ReplyDeleteThere's no official API for those so no, TacO cannot track things like that.
DeleteSo to run this on macOS we need to talk about how to make this execute via WINE/cider in parallel with the game. Any thoughts on this?
ReplyDeleteTacO will NOT work with the Mac client. The Mac client doesn't support the Mumble link API that TacO is based on.
DeleteWindow/windowed full screen gives severe frame rate drop/lag. Overlay does not show even in those modes. TacO icon is not there and program is running.
ReplyDeleteMy laptop supports 4K resolution but GW2 doesn't. I have it set at 1366x768 because otherwise the performance lags. Any other setting gives lag. In response to my comment made 24 October 2019 @22:50
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what to do because my computer will throw a fit and constantly notify me of the recommended resolution. ^
ReplyDeleteI followed all instructions. ^
ReplyDeleteNow it's denying permission to the destination access folder?? And it won't allow me? What the heck is going on?
ReplyDeleteI attempted to redownload it and it is now doing this. ^
ReplyDeleteYou probably still have an instance of Taco running. Control+Alt+Delete to bring up Task Manager and go to Processes tab and see if you find Taco still running. If so, kill it and try again. I was having this same issue and found Taco still running. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm having a small visual issue that I don't know why does it, but every now and then, it shows a small circle on top of the Guild icon and it's TacO who is displaying that because if I stop TacO the circle doesn't come back, it disappears when I click on the Guild icon but it comes back after a while, why and how do I stop it from doing that?
ReplyDeletehttps://i.imgur.com/GdD6ngb.jpg
Hi,
Deleteyeah, they rearranged the menu and put the trading post icon at the end of the menu bar. That circle is supposed to show up around the TP red (!) icon if something changed in your tp wallet since you last checked. It'll be fixed (moved to the correct location) in the next build of TacO.
Perfect, good job, I love the app 😍
DeleteI just downloaded taco. Exported all the files to a separate folder. When I start up the game amd run taco, none of the markers show up. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated. Thank you
ReplyDeleteDid you also download a marker pack? TacO on its own is mostly only a platform and it comes with a limited set of markers.
Deleteim having same issue. Didnt know about marker packs. Where do you get them?
Deletehola, el software funciona bien, es muy practico solo que me gustaría si es posible el cambio el idioma al español?
ReplyDeleteHi! Just a question, does Taco support windows 8? If it does, could you explain me how?
ReplyDeleteI downloaded and make it correctly, but when I execute it, it crashes. This is the log crash:

Now I have checked download build 0.30 and it doesn´t crash and works propperly, but I am afraid it does not have all the maps. I continue testing builds.
DeleteIf you can help me it would be great.
Well, I continued testing builds. These ones did not work ( 0.47, 0.46,0.45, 0.44, 0.43 ) They all crashed.
DeleteBut, Build 0.42 works and does not crash.
This obviously, in my computer windows 8, net framework 4.5 and directx11.
Im happy now, can play with it.
I hope this is a help to sombody else.
Further this, as I am not a knower of how this works, could anybody tell me if I must allow some Api in gw2 or something?
At the momento I run it like this and it works in the game.
Thnaks.
