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?

TimTimTimma · Jan 20, 2008, 10:01 PM // 22:01

where can I download the GwDatBrowser so I can browse the dat file too? o_o;
I googled it and found some open source stuff but nothing that I can download and use out of box. Help please?

zwei2stein · Jan 20, 2008, 10:03 PM // 22:03

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.)

Man the afflicted textures is damn scary...well even themselves are quite fugly scary, but whatever....

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:

http://www.raechaer.de/GWDatBrowser.zip

Extract in your GW folder and run GWDatbrowser.exe

@Shadow Kurd: Those are the stained-glass windows you see in Kurzick areas. I think they have them in the Kurzick-themed guild hall if you wanna check them out.

Wait...Do you not know what they are or are you just posting them up cus they're cool??

Looks like another example of Kurzick stained glass to me.

BenjZee · Jan 20, 2008, 10:37 PM // 22:37

oh my god, theres a picture of a macor parrot in that dat

Chrono Re delle Ere · Jan 20, 2008, 10:41 PM // 22:41

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.

Forgot to save the id for these but filename is 152404_ATEXDXT5

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.

Silly Warrior · Jan 20, 2008, 10:51 PM // 22:51

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.

fowlero · Jan 20, 2008, 10:54 PM // 22:54

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?
