Did photobucket muck the image up? I checked and its stuck the stupid thing down to 800x600 and I doubt I can put anything bigger on. Apparently I need to update it my account for anything bigger.

Ill try with imageshack... if this doesnt work ill scream.

Cheers for telling me.

It's amazing you can do so much with what I thought was a poor quality screen-shot. Thank you VERY VERY much!

That is not my map but it is SilentVex's map. No way would I try to take credit for SilentVex's great work to the community. I just wanted to point it out and get on the front page. There I am guild free again.

freekedoutfish: The image is the correct size this time, but the jpg quality is really poor. I miss spots when there is so much fuzz. Just post the .bmp if you can.

Hello People.

I made this forum account especially for this thing. Im new to the exploring thing (have been playing GW since start though). And well, I got pretty far with the guide and some posts here, but I need help to finish it. What makes it a bit tough for you guys is that I suck at imaging and stuff on PC's. I made a screen of my M map, but i play on a widescreen, so its resolution might be off. I have tried to switch to the resolutions requested, but my view gets very strange (not good for comparing).

Hope you people can help me get my very first explorer title. My map is posted below. Im at 98%. Tnxs in advance!

EDIT: Faster M pick for the clouds thingy as suggested in first post

I don't use the difference method, so I don't know. From what I can see, analyzing a difference map of elona is about 10x more difficult, 10x slower, and 10x less accurate than simply putting your map on the layer above a complete map and clicking it on and off. I can check out a whole map in about 5-7 minutes doing that.

Also, I've updated the .bmp maps, and I'll probably be making a new U map soon. My best guess puts me at 100.8-.9%.

Thanks, after trying your method I went from 95% to 99.4% and I still have some areas to get to. If I get stuck I will post my bmp but so far it woks nicely. I even found that it helps some to sharpen both images so that the pixel differences stand out more!

Keep up the great work and do you have a link to your new updated bmp map because I think there are a couple spots that I have, that the original does not.

The JPG of my map. Done quickly at 1280x1024. 99.5% completed, tabbed 2 of the 3 '100%' maps from the first page and wall hugged all the towns. Now just a little bit stuck...

Much appreciated if you could find the rest

^I was in the same boat Sod. Try entering and exiting the Command Post through all the exits in the surrounding areas, that netted me .1-.2%. I'm sitting at 99.7% now, very slowly making my way through areas I did quickly.

I just tried... didn't net me anything. Think i saw 2 things unfog slightly once but other than that not enough for a 0.1%.

Hi all

I really need help, I'm currently on 99.9% explored and I am totally stuck. I was mapping from the start of them game, got to 99.8 when I completed the desolation and managed to uncover some fog in Kamadan but got no % for it.

finally got to 99.9 in when I re-mapped some of Gandara.

No idea on the last bit. Here is my map any suggestions will be most appreciated!

Here is my map 1440x900

3rd time lucky.

Im surprised the quality wasnt good enough. I always assumed jpgs didnt loose any quality in the compression.

Heres the bmp version:

Ok issue; its refusing to let me upload it to imageshack or photobucket due to size limitations on the file itselfs. As a BMP its over 2mb and thats too big.

Do you have an email address I can use? or can you think of an alternative image hosting webstite?

Hi all,

I just recently finished my Elona GMC map, and that makes three GMC titles. Since I got the first Tyria one, I've been writing guide posts for friends with screenies of my maps, only in sections rather than the whole thing at once. The smaller images can be helpful for some approaches to finding the missing bits.

My friend, and the site admin, was kind enough to give me permission to leave links here in case anyone else finds these helpful.

my Tryian Grandmaster Cartographer guide
my Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer guide (mostly just maps)
my Elonian Grandmaster Cartographer guide (again, mostly just maps)

I haven't put anything naughty (that I know of) in the specific post pages, but if you go exploring around further please note that they're on a site that's:

not entirely about Guild Wars
not entirely in English
not entirely fit for children or the squeamish or the politically correct

Hope it helps, and best of luck to everyone out there working on these titles!
Cheers,
Luny

Silent ur spots help me a lot but i'm stuck at 99,7% O.o! (tears...)
Can u help me one more time

Elona map 99,7%--> http://i14.tinypic.com/48g6yhl.jpg

Thx again

Great Rob · Dec 02, 2006, 12:41 AM // 00:41

aww man, i knew this would happen. I've hit 99.9% (thanks a huge deal to SilentVex) but now i'm stuck yet again.

Unfortunately I don't have the required programs/knowledge to stitch together a bunch of U maps.

So pretty please could you have one final look Silent?

I'm currently at work so can't post an updated map, but here's my latest one you checked http://i12.tinypic.com/300frmc.jpg . And here's the latest marked one you gave me http://www.ps-mc.com/arcane/wtf/rob4_marked.jpg. I've been to all those locations so just one more spot should hopefully be enough.

(if you want an updated map let me know and i'll post it when i get home)

Thanks again
