Guild Wars 2

I cannot find the Post anymore but some time ago a kind user has posted links to game dumped high resolution WvW Maps with around 41MB in BMP Format.

Can please someone provide do me the favour and create them after the Borderlands Map changed? My Tool doesn’t use the Tileservice and I need those Maps as background.

Thanx a lot!

God Of Fissures.8627 created them, you should PM him

Thank you, just did this

Generating these from the API is pretty easy if you cheat a bit. :P

But there’s the downside that the API-Maps are only JPEG while those from the gw2.dat are actually hi-res bitmap formats. (YES, i wish the maps API had an option for .png maps!)

Depends on the zoom level you will be using it at.

Not really. The bitmap maps are alot clearer in details – compare for yourself:

http://gw2.chillerlan.net/examples/gw2maps-gmaps-simple.html (API map)
https://chillerlan.net/gw2/wvw.html (self created PNG map from the source God Of Fissures.8627 provided)

Pan to Stonemist castle at max zoom and compare the details and you’ll notice a huge difference.
