I'm just playing with this tool at the moment... am I right in saying that the bigger the "position" value, the more recent the file was added...? Because, if so, I've found something very weird...

It almost sounds like a dev-minigame thingy, but I'm very confused...

Quote:
Event - "Moa Mayhem"

Rancher Mepi's Moa are being attacked by starving Lynx. Prevent the Starving Lynx from killing more than half of the Grazing Moa.
The position of this file (type = unknown) is 4025063936 and its size is 20380. Its ID for me is 39002. Also in this file:

Quote:
Eat Vegetable - Destroys an adjacent GADGET_PROTO_VALLEY_HILL_WEST_PROTECT_FARM_VEGGIE


Quote:
Torch Flames - Target foe burns for 1 second. If that foe is a zombie, it burns indefinitely, setting all adjacent foes on fire
Erm... is this still GW?

Quote:
Extinguish Flame - When this skill completes, the lighthouse flame is extinguished
Sounds like an addition to something in Kryta? A Tyrian festival?

...and by far the strangest thing:

Quote:
Block - Defend yourself with the Riot Shield ... Ringing the bell will cause any nearby Moa Birds to follow you for %str1 seconds
Riot Shield?!
and also:

Quote:
Prod - Prod the opponent with your Billy Club
.... *runs*

Screenie for proof:



EDIT: Further down in the file, there is a reference to Krait... Is this a free expansion to GW:EN in the works?

I hope so. Maybe ANet will give Prophecies some new content before moving on to GW2 in full?

They better!

Because we all know they have so much free time and the whole "We can't do this because we're too busy with GW2" is such a lie, right?

Even if it's against EULA (not that I'm sure it is), how could Anet know you've OPENED your DAT file in....anything?

They can't ban you unless they know, can they?

Quote:
"As a general rule of thumb, we don't mind if you do things like this to make your own playing experience more fun. Some people really like to mod, and we recognize that this can often be a valuable learning tool. When you're doing it, though, keep in mind that we ask that you don't use our content to mod other games. Please do not attempt to extract anything from your GW.dat with the intent to use it in a mod for another game or project. Also keep in mind that we can't support any changes you make.

In other words, if you try to make some changes and your game crashes, don't contact support because there really isn't anything they will be able to do for you. Make sure you have your disks handy to reinstall

In case anyone was concerned about this reply, keep in mind that alterations that people make to their own .dat files will not affect the play experience of others. All of that important data is stored server side, so any changes that would be able to be made are purely cosmetic. For instance, if someone re-textures their sword to look like a gigantic pickle, they will be the only one to see this change. You won't start seeing people wielding pickle swords running around in random arena any time soon

Also keep in mind that we are always interested to see what stuff you guys come up with. If you do something exceptionally cool that you feel would really benefit the community as a whole, don't be afraid to let us know about it." -- Emily Diehl


"To all modders: It's important to note that the parameters concerning the use of third-party programs do still apply. We cannot condone the use of such programs, and we cannot support the accounts of those who may be negatively impacted in using such programs. That's called the If it eats your hard drive and blows up your refrigerator, don't call us policy.

Honestly, though, as previously stated, it is unlikely that we would actively pursue or action those who use such programs in a positive manner, that is, those whose only interest is creating benign mods of our games. Keep in mind that occasionally people get creative and might bring up the use of a harmless program to attempt to mask other harmful activities. We see that with other situations, such as where they say "But I was only using an alternative OS, why was I blocked?" and we discover they are using major bot programs.

If you feel that this creates a "mixed message," then I guess we should discuss that concern. I can understand where the strict "Don't do that" is clearer than "We can't say you can do that, but we won't take action if you do choose to do it." There are some cases where it's not black and white. One example that comes to mind is the use of emulators to play Guild Wars. We develop only for the PC, but others play on other systems and that's totally ok. However, if they develop difficulties, our Support Team is not available to help them resolve those issues. So we don't prohibit the alternative, we simply decline to support it.

What I want to say above all about this matter is that if you're going to mod, have fun, but do stick with the benign and positive uses of the programs and create mods that impact the game only in ways that are fun and harmless. If there's more information to share, I will do so as soon as it becomes available to me." -- Gaile

Lets see, Ascalonian Squire who is confusing this forum's policies with that... other GW forum. Yeah, I'm with everybody else on this. There is no way to prove you messed with the dat file. And editing the dat file won't cause any harm to the game since all vital information is stored server side.

Its just textures, there is no other armor that has the same "shape" as Obbi armor so it wouldn't work.

Zaishen Title

A title for balthazar faction or balthazar faction cap maybe?
It doesn't have the "XX Title Track" like other titles though, so it may be for some other stuff.
