i think that whole marketplace thing isnt an outpost. It must be some sort of environment if you know what i mean for trading. Like it shows messages and stuff say when an item is unidentified etc

Yeah, I downloaded the GWDatbrowser and I'm trying to find the stuff you guys are talking about but man, it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Question about the texture files though, for half of them, I have to export them just to see them. Is there a way around this?

This is where i come and urge everyone not to mess with gwdat browser unless they took precautions (use firewall, make sure you have it from trustworthy source, best thing you can do is to download sources and compile it yourself.)

You can modify it all you want I believe, because it would only change the appearances of things on your own screen. The thing Anet gets really upset about is using extracted GW graphics in other games.

Get these two:

Extract in your GW folder and run GWDatbrowser.exe

Thx for explaining how to do it, and about last pic posted by Shadow Kurd...I can't figure out what it is, don't think it's anything related to kurzick, wings bring to my mind paragons, could be somewhere in elona? Never seen it anyway. I'll go give a look

The Xentax one would be pretty safe. They have better things to do than release spyware.

The first one is the alphabet used in the Charr areas. If you look at the banners in Charr areas, you'll notice that the symbols actually do consistently translate over into the english language.

A B C D E etc correlate to each symbol above.

Theres alot of weird stuff in here, and its very interesting to look at some of it!

I recommend downloading that program previously mentioned and trying it out.

The files seem to be organized by what exactly they do, like cursors, icons, then other sorts of textures. Its still very messy though.

A little off topic, but i was having my first play around with texmod the other day (was epic fail) and when it targetted the + icon for party formation the texture it was targetting had all these other icons on it too, thumbs up/thumbs down etc etc (forgot to log it and cant get on atm).

Looked like that "kick vote" thing that i remember being talked about ages ago, anyone remember what happened/didn't happen?

i think that last image of the outpost type pins must of been what they were going to use at the start in pvp. There used to be king of the hill matches etc...im sure its like that. in pvp there never used to be an island. i think you used to click those

Looks like a bit more than an outpost eh? How does that crow taste?
Where did you find this? o_0; And how did you translate it from all the ... numbers and junk lol?

Just posting stuff I find interesting
just a few things:
my cropping skills are sub par, but all thats cut off the images is unimportant (doesn't affect image at all)
numbers interfere with unimportant stuff
and all i can do is look at images- how are you looking at town names and stuff?

Looks like the charrs view of Tyria.

And if you use the charr alphabet you can read the map aswell (Kryta, Shiverpeak Mountains, Crystal Desert, etc.)
