why is this the only red link article? --Falconeye 05:05, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

because I was finding them by entering dungeons and whirling through all the available textures in texmod, and I couldn't find it. I won't buy the BMP so theres no chance of my making an interactive map for it... -Chieftain Alex 09:53, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
So, you need someone with BMP & that knows how to use Texmod? --Falconeye 10:03, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
probably. and then they'd need to take screenshots of the route at the very end, and be able to screenshot or annotate a map with all the important points to high precision. -Chieftain Alex 10:11, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
I got both... only, I don't how to use Texmod outside of CME and Dark Glass UI. ^_^ --Falconeye 10:15, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Its easy, you just choose "Logging Mode" instead of Package mode after selecting guild wars. Set the output format to .dds if you have photoshop or .png if you don't. Set the log key to something that isn't logout, e.g. f8. Click run.
when the game loads you'll see an extracted texture in the upper left corner, pressing the + or - buttons on your keyboard will cycle through the available textures. The easiest way to get this texture would be to go into the BMP, open your mission map, and hold down the + button until your mission map goes green and you see a transparent copy of the mission map in the left-hand corner. Then press your logging key (probably f8, depending on choice above).
exit gw, go to the output folder (texmod tells you the location of it), and finally upload the file to the wiki :P -Chieftain Alex 10:26, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
I think I got Map in .png-format pepped in the output folder, but now I am getting a File extension does not match MIME type on the Upload file. --Falconeye 02:15, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Most textures come out of logging mode as .bmp files, so make sure it's .png and not .bmp. If I find time, I can get such images too, but if Falconeye has 'em already, not gonna bother. Konig 02:59, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Bah! I followed Alex's steps to the letter, from login to '+/-' to upload, a dozen times now! I hate you File extension does not match MIME type. ;_; --Falconeye 04:16, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Oh I didn't see this!
It means that the file extension of the file you got from texmod - probably .png - isn't a .jpg image. You can either open it using some software on your pc and save as a .jpg file format, or email the image to me as an attachment and I'll convert it :P -Chieftain Alex 15:12, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
