Our TacO menu will now have My Marker's -> My Category -> Test Marker Markers Now that we have our own entry for our Markers we can start to create our choice of categories. Click on TacO to open the menu followed by Filter Displayed Tactical Markers. You can preview your efforts so far while running GW2 followed by TacO. Next we need to start describing the Markers we plan on using and these will also form your own entries within the TacO menu. Note: Everything inside the XML document should be considered case sensitive. Everything we add after this point will be positioned inside of these two tags. The first entry insde our newly created XML file will be the tags that mark the start and end of the XML's Overlay Data. This new XML file will be automatically recognised by TacO. In order to begin creating your own custom markers or trails you will first need to create an XML file in the GW2TacO\POIs\ folder. When the trail is Exported again the new additions to the trail will be included. To continue adding to an existing trail once a trail has been imported, Pause Recording and then when ready to continue Resume New Section. Import Trail: Even without using the XML file for custom trails, a previously Exported Trail can be Imported and used.Delete Last Segment - This will delete the Trail left behind you one step at a time, use with care when used in conjunction with Pause Recording as large sections of Trail can be quickly removed.This allows you to waypoint and then Resume New Section without having the Trail follow you all the way across the map. Resume New Section - Only visible when the Recording is Paused.Pause Recording can also be used to create larger segments by Pausing, moving on to another point before Resuming. By clicking on Pause Recording you get the option to Resume New Section. Pause Recording - Pauses recording, useful if you die and need to waypoint or need to check where you need to go.Start New Trail - Starts recording a new Trail.With the Trail Marker Window open you have the option to assign some shortcuts for each of the following actions, and can find the option to do this Marker Editor > Rebind Keys. WARNING DO NOT click on Stop Recording or you will lose your current Trail progress, only use Stop Recording when a trail has been saved (if required). It should be noted that if you want your trails to also be usable within Blish Hud you will need to change the '\' Backslashes to '/' Forwardslashes. Once you have added this line to the trailtest.xml. NOTE Once a Trail is Saved, the location and details are saved within the POIDATA.XML file within your GW2TacO folder. Open the Data Folder and name it: trailtest.Save your Trail using the Export Trail Button.Click on Start New Trail to create a Trail.TacO usually has the Marker Window already open, if not you can find it about 3/4 of the way down the main menu window. The easiest way to get started in creating your own custom markers and trails is to create an actual trail. If you don't already have it installed then I would recommend consulting the TacO Quick Start Guide (Outdated as of June 2023) and FAQ or the TacO Reddit page should you run in to any problems. The Guild Wars 2 Tactical Overlay or TacO for short provides a number of markers and trails as a way of guiding you around a map or to assist with specific achievements.
