Commander Tag Accessibility

An addon for Guild Wars 2

Change the color, add an outline or pattern to commander tags by modifying the texture.

Source will remain private to prevent abuse.
Hooks PSSetShaderResource() does not otherwise read the game's memory.

Now supports loading from Arcdps if Nexus isn't present.
Loading through Arcdps is not well tested, please reach out if you experience issues.

Extras

In addition to commander tags, the addon also supports the mentor tag, squad markers, party target, and the chat background texture.

I'll add any low hanging fruit that benefits from the existing outline / recolor pipeline as long as I deem it not to provide a competitive advantage.
