Developed by Ossian Studios� Inc., this is the world map system used in the game �Darkness over Daggerford� (a former BioWare Premium Module), which was released for free to the community. Ossian is now releasing the world map system as a stand-alone system to builders who want to use it in their own mods.
The world map system allows players to travel between different areas within a module, very similar to the way it was done in the Baldur�s Gate games. Players are taken to a world map screen that shows the world they are adventuring in, where they can then click on area icons that jump them to the various areas. A world map system is an excellent idea for builders who have many areas to travel between in their module, and wish to give players a better visualization of where they are currently located or how they are progressing across the world.
Included in this download are 4 things:
1) A detailed instruction manual written by Brian Watson (aka MadWombat) for getting the world map system working in your mod (includes images).
2) A stand-alone demo module of the world map system (�Darkness over Daggerford� not required).
3) An erf file for importing the necessary world map scripts and blueprints into your mod.
4) A hak containing select demo world map resources from �Darkness over Daggerford.�
Requirements:
1) The 1.67 patch (or greater) must be installed.
We hope Ossian�s world map system can increase the enjoyment of whatever NWN mod you are working on!
Would be awesome to see some of the other multiplayer ideas implimented, but absolute gold none the less.
