Having read about the "lore" of the map for GW2 and all the destruction that will happen, anybody think that this might be a representation of the map for GW2. The appearence of the expansion of the desert to Ascalon and the flooding of Kryta seem to suggest something prohpetic about its representation.

Persuadu, that is a map that is found throughout Prophecies. It is far from similar to GW2. For starters, Orr is still sunken. Many of the islands inbetween Kryta and Orr would be sunk due to the tidal wave. And it doesn't include the northern territories that are seen in Eye of the North. Also, Kryta is not flooded, the map is distorted to what we have when we press M to represent how there is no global (or aerial) view of the world from a lore perspective - i.e., the map is "guessed" locations.

If you mean the gray/white checkerboard, that's just a transparent background. Others are repeated textures.

The only good thing would be looking when the new update actually happens, atleast aswell you can see the minipets a few hours earlier ..or maybe days

You know that minipets are the mini versions of creatures already existing in GW -> they already have a texture.

Also, I got that map as a small poster with the Guild Wars Special Edition, all those years ago.

And GW2 wasn't even thought of back then..

Smithy is partly correct. The 3rd year minipets were spoiled by the .dat because somebody found the text string for them listing all of them "Miniature Mad King Thorn" etc. A.net might learn from there mistake and not put them in until the last minute.

Even when we found them in the .dat, we still didn't know which mini was what type of rarity.

So far all minis use the exact same texture as their full size counterparts.

The latest version (http://www.ashguild.net/GWDatBrowser_03.rar) worked fine for me using the Windows 7 Beta. What problems did you encounter?

If you modify the dat, it's a EULA violation and ends with a banning. I do believe you have the full right to browse the files however.

An improved version of the Flamberge so it seems. I browsed GWWiki and couldn't find this in the database. Maybe someone could shed some light?

honestly I think it's possible to do a graphics swap on dhuum using texmod if everything within the require armor type is in place. Does he have any exclusive features that stand out differently?
