Keith Parkinson and T.King did most of the Artwork and UI Graphics, IIRC. Don't know of any other Artists that were puclicly credited with working on it (that had specific well-known reputations aside from work on Vanguard).

I had really hoped your assets upload would include how they did the original minimap, but sadly it does not

Could this have been a beta2 texture? I was only in open beta, and I certainly remember using it.

Nevermind, I see what happened, this is your working directory. Game updates created new folders and left the original "skins" folder intact. So we get all the textures, but none of the window xmls.

Well, what is important is the placement of the minimap window. If it could be fit so that the corners are hidden behind the circular texture, without having the edges visible at all in the interior, it would work.

After looking at things more, even if they had managed at one point to make the minimap circular, I don't believe it could be done now. The current schema doesn't seem to have any reference to making a window or graphic circular. We have Rect, but nothing similar.

BTW, i forgot to say "thank you". A very big thanks for this very important resource.

As for the beta map, I have spent much time thinking about it, they really would have had to do a circular mask and somehow restricted the poi's to this mask. So Tervalas is probably correct in stating that we can likely not accomplish this anymore. So now I'm sad, but this rest of these textures are simply awesome, and I am trying to come up with ways to use them in the mod I am currently working on.

Also, if this becomes a community mod project, and you guys want to divy up the responsibilities, I would not mind taking one or two of them

[Locithon]

Would anybody be willing/able to re-upload the beta files? I would love to play around with them a bit.

I have all the beta sigil graphics for the ui, but there isnt any place to upload them here, maybe someone can talk to vginterface.com and they can have a place for everyone to share such things.

**EDIT** Ok i uploaded the beta graphics @ Sigil's beta vanguard graphics.
