This hak adds 31 new placeable maps to the toolset. The map textures were taken almost exclusively from the 'Wizards of the Coast' web site in the free downloads section (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/downloads).
There are maps of Eberron, various dungeons, cities, terrain, and *finally* a map of Faerun.
The textures in the hak are DDS textures. The textures contain an alpha channel to allow the 'rough edge' effect on several of the maps. This is why the textures are larger on disk that a standard 512x512 texture.
The placeables.2da supplied is padded past the HOTU and CEP reserved entries. The placeable items are numbers 4450 thru 4480. If you use a different placeable.2da base, then just copy these lines and the wildcard padding line above entry 4450 into the end of your placeables.2da. I have also supplied an erf in the zip file to allow easy import into your module. The erf will place entries into the Custom->Placeables->Miscellaneous Interior category. The standard Bioware map portrait is used for all the maps to cut down on the hak size.
P.S. Please note that HOTU and CEP *ARE NOT* required for this hakpack to function. The hak contains placeables that will work with any combination of NWN, SOU, HOTU, and CEP.
