That image of the hideous teeth and gums posted a few pages back is a texture used in the 'Corrupted Isle' guild hall. Possibly used in the Realm of Torment as well.

Does anyone recall when the Canthan Hand Axe skin was implemented? Was it with the Totem Axe update? What about the Jade Sword? Looks like some weapons never got implemented. Odd that The Ugly Stick's in the middle of it, I don't recall it being missing at Factions release.

(Since Serenity Temple is dedicated to Dwayna and Melandru, she's probably one of those.)
There's several of those around Ascalon region. Three of them are right inside Ruins of Surmia outpost.

It's always possible that Totem Axe was there all along, (with the release of Factions), but never had a drop till the update. Or maybe The Ugly Stick string was updated to a [proper], so you weren't "wielding a The Ugly Stick."

Side Note: can we get an update like this for "a Vera" ?

Those pillars are also in the Nolani Academy mission. You see them as you get closer to returning the Tome of the Fallen for the bonus.

Looks to me like the Darkwing Bows are implemented into the game as the Steelwing Bows.

It should be noted that the present GW doesn't fully utilize the GW1 engines potential. The engine supports dynamic lighting, for instance, although presently that is only used in one area in the Domain of Anguish, and allegedly the reason jumping/flying/swimming is not allowed is not that the engine can't handle it, but that allowing jumping/flying/swimming made map construction more difficult.

Also the engine supports higher polygon counts and larger textures than we're presently seeing.

So yeah, you can make a pretty impressive game, with considerably upgraded graphics and expanded motion, using a modified GW1 engine.

Nundu bay has a different icon.

And do not have that tiny isle.
It does have some of those shop stalls, though, but not so many of them.

Dat files differ from installation to installation, so giving you a number won't really help. This list appears 2-3 times, however, and I found it only because I remember the Totem Axe being in the same batch of items as the "strange" ones. The list is in the middle of nowhere (relative to the rest of the text file); if I had to guess, it was in the bunch of text files near file #42150 for me.

Hopefully they add normal map support ( if it doesn't already have it )

Normal Maps >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bump maps.

Even if they just generate them automatically using Gimp or photoshop rather then baking them from high poly models, it will look a lot better then the game currently looks. The way normal maps work with lighting effects is win.

Just look at the sky.

- It may be an isle.
- It must be in Kryta, the Battle isles or the Sea of Sorrows.

It may take time, but it seems that there are some text files with miriads of text lines.

First to answer that waterfall question the only thing I found that might be related to the heart engraved in the rock would be this:

Wedding In Tyria.


The first picture stouda01 posted the thing that looks like a rhino, or ox whatever it is; Isn't this the year of the Ox does anyone know? Ox minipet maybe?

Ty! That's the story that I was talking about, right on. I was thinking that it perhaps had to do with the heart, who knows.

All over GW:EN, particularly the Norn area. However, GW1 is very sparse on real-time lighting so it's not the best game to cover in normal maps.

I assume that those are the 3d models. If I'm right, any viewer besides the game client would probably be more work then the rest of the viewer combined.

Arena Net File Format. ANFF = FFNA (little/big endian encoding)

It's proprietary format for storing anything, some can be scanned as text, others are encrypted, etc... There's not much to do with those, hex editor is your best bet.
