This tool is courtesy of Aylee Sedai of La Ruota Del Tempo, check out the features below in this external map:
  • It's completely free
  • Complete database of ELITE skills (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall)
  • Complete database of COLLECTORS (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall)
  • Complete database of unique GREEN ITEMS (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall)
  • The software DOESN'T need an internet connection.
  • The software DOESN'T need GuildWars launched.
  • Maps of the regions and location of the specified object on the map.
  • Easy filter to find out quickly the searched elite, collectors or green item.
  • I added also the capabilty of creating your personal character and mark for each character, which elite skill has been already captured and which not.

Download it here: MappingOut v4.0.0

Updated: 10/19/08

Updates:

- Added personal notes. Everybody can now insert their own annotations to the maps
- When you hover over a square, the information pop-up of the skill etc is automatic. Right click is no longer needed (by udoh)
- fixed wrong locations of "Shield of Judgement" (by udoh)
- added the internet update functions! (still under development, with Didimo, but already working!!)
- fixed collector's material request. Now it shows also the quantity.
- if "Elites" check is not selected, it no longer displays the elite stats in the information window
- made it possible to see greens on the map, without showing also the elite skills (by firefoxx666)
- fixed the error caused by lower screen resolution (by Thargor, Dirty Savage & Lothlorian Sassun)
- moved the legend on another windows, so that it no longer takes up a lot of primary window
- fixed the modify/delete bug int the character list (by KiyaKoreena)
- Added the number of items listed to every lists (Elites, Collectors, Greens)
- Added into legend the description for non-boss and boss with no elite
- added another location where "You're All Alone" can be found (by Bithor the Dog)
- fixed the elite skill name of "Avatar of Dwayna" (by Heretic Fire)
- fixed the stats of "Ravaging Daggers" dropped by "Ravager of Dreams" in Depths of Madness
- Added Razakel boss position in Domain of Secrets, and its own elite Corrupt Enchantment
- Updated stats for unique green item: Amiresh's Piety (thanks to Khonan [GdT])

It sounds cool but it doesn't work for me.

I extracted the zip to a separate folder and tried running the exe and I get a runtime error '76' Path not found.

Are there any specific instructions such as where you should unzip the files?

You got the "Runtime Error 76" because you moved the MappingOut.exe file ouside of the MappingOut folder. It needs to remain inside the main MappingOut folder to run properly.

Your MappingOut folder should contain the following files (do not move them or it will not run properly):
  • Campaign.00.Core (Folder)
  • Campaign.01.Prophecies (Folder)
  • Campaign.02.Factions (Folder)
  • Campaign.03.Nightfall (Folder)
  • Data (Folder)
  • Personal (Folder - created once you start adding your characters within the application)
  • MappingOut.exe

Thank you. Your suggestion helped me figure it out.

It was user error. I actaully only extracted the exe. I had to delete the folder and extract again from scratch.

Sorry Blair3175, I'm not very good at english and I think I haven't understand your post very much.
Forgive me if I misunderstood what you were trying to say, but It seems you didn't launch the program at all. The only colums I can imagine are those in the TXT files. You aren't supposed to open those files. You should unzip all the content of the zip file and launch "mappingout.exe".
Moreover, if you have already modified some txt files, I suggest you to delete the folder and unzip the files again.
Let me know if this is the real problem, and forgive my awful english.

May the light shine on you.

Excellent tool. I noticed you have the stats of the green items in a text file and it is possible to filter by keywords in their description - however, I am unable to view the stats of a green through the program itself. Am I missing something or has this not been included?

Actually, green items are yet included in the program. They appear in the elite/boss information window. Just click on a green item in the list and then right click on the flashing green mark on the map. You should see the green item information at the bottom of the little semi-transparent window.
Otherwise... I did something wrong

May the Light shine on you.

This program is excellent. No more hopping around guildwiki to find boss locations for capping runs. If only there were an option to check off collected greens like there is capped elites, then it would be perfect.

Thank you Aylee, that works. However, I would prefer a way of seeing this information in a list or table. Perhaps this could be added in a later update?

Awesome tool! I love it already and have all my characters added and updated.
I do have one problem though. I can't seem to run it in window mode, it comes up in fullscreen and when i use the icon to switch it to windowed mode i get the following error.
Run-time error '380': Invalid property value
When I click on "OK" in the error window the program closes. This isn't a big issue but is there any way it can be switched to run in a window so I can move it to my second monitor so I can see it while playing GW?
Thanks for any help, and again GREAT JOB and thanks for sharing this with us!

What the heck am I doing wrong? I unzipped the files to my desktop. All required files are in the newly created folder. Open the folder, click on the MappingOut.exe and I get this:

Run time error '380'

Invalid property value

Anyone?

Thargor,
your totally right! Probably you have a screen resolution of 800x600 or even lower. It's my fault. I didn't test the program on lower resolutions than mine. I did it right now, and discovered the error you just pointed out.
In the next update, I'll correct this problem.
Thanks for drawing my attention to it!

AC10,
I understand what you mean. It could be usefult to have a simple table, listing all unique items... I added it to the unended list of "to do"!
(actually now I'm thinking about the capability of adding personal notes and an internet update function...).

May the Light shine on you.

Very sorry for that Aylee Sedai. It seems you were right and I was not running the actual program and just looking at the files of the program. Very nice program, and I am very pleased with it. Thanks for much for adding this for everyone to use.
Thank you!

Dirty Savage,
I think its the same problem of Thargor.
You propabably have a screen resolution of 800x600 or even lower. I did'nt test the program on lower resolution than mine. I'm such an idiot ... Tomorrow I'll fix this problem for first! It's embarassing .
Sorry for this irritating error. I will adjust it as soon as possible.

Bad bug. All bugs are bad. But its a minor bug. In the character editing screen if you scroll the window it loses the selections and behevaes oddly. Unsure why it does that. I've also experienced the collapsing issue noted by others (my screen res is 1024x768 if that helps any). Otherwise its a great program. Thanks for the effort/time you put into making it

Aylee Sedai, Just to let you know I usually run at a resolution of 1024X768 and that is the resolution I am getting the error at. Seems to work fine at higher resolutions though.
Don't feel bad about it, this is a great tool and your giving it out for free! I think we can overlook a couple of small bugs
Keep up the good work and thanks again.

Absolutely wonderful job!!

I have run into a tiny error, but it only happens with user stupidity. After you modify a character's Skills list and save it, the menu for Characters list still lets you choose 'Modify' but no character is selected. When you then hit 'Modify' it gives Runtime error 381 and crashes the program. Maybe change it so after editing a Character list it defaults to select the first one on your list? Hope that made sense...

It will give you that Error if you are trying to run it at a low resolution like 800x600. I got the same error cause my work computer is set at 800x600. I changed the resolution to 1024x768 and it loaded up no problem.

Very nice program here. I can see it is a work in progress but I am certain this took ALONG time and lots of effort. You are an ACE Aylee Sedai and I would like to thank you personally for your hard work. This is going to make it much easier to find the collector or Elite Cap I am looking for. Cheers!


This took ALLOT of work everyone. I'm sure Aylee doesn't mind constructive evaluation of the program but I it would be ashame if anyone flamed this program cause it is really nice and I for one give it a Thumbs up... WAY UP. I'm going to post a link on my Guild Web Site to this as I'm sure my guildies will get allot of good use out of it.

Hats off Aylee on a Job well done.

When I try to view the whole mp not just one region eg. South Shiverpeaks I get a black screen with "May The Light Shine on you all" Aylee Sedai. Then it reverts back to the map I was previously on.
eg. I'm looking at Vabbi, Use to drop down menu and select All, that black screen comes up for maybe 3 seconds then it shows just Vabbi again. Does this only happen to me? Is it intentional? Otherwise, great tool, gotta enter all my character data now.

Togira Ikonaka,
I really can't figure out why this is happening to you. On low performance personal computer, I could happen that the black screen pops out. But if you choose a region, you shall see that region anyway. I'll give a look, to find out why this is happening.

this is the greatest GW based program ever! the only nit-pick I have about it is that it doesnt include what the skills do, but I can be OCD at time so just ignore me. (or make a patch ;]) also, the words "avatar of dwayna" have been spelled "avatar of dwaynia" how do you fix this?

If you right-click on the boss's location on the map, it will give you detailed information, including the skills description.

Suggestion for next update.

would it be possible to include as you mentioned, a personal marker function. I have a real trouble trying to remember which shrine gives which blessing and where they all are.
This programme kind of sums up all others really, its what the community has been needing for some time now we are at campaign 3. Other progs gave you a little here and a little there but never combined them like you have and you did it all into one place... awsome job

What is the best place for us to let you know of inaccuracies. "your'e all alone" can be captured in two place but you state one, Its not a criticism, as tying all the elites from all campaigns must have been a huge job and much respect for that.
Do you want reports like that put here?
