The NWN2 World Map System provides an exciting new interface for representing long distance travel in your campaign. However as it introduces several new concepts and requires some scripting knowledge the World Map System has proven to be rather difficult to master.
The World Map Guide is designed to help you integrate a fully function World Map into you campaign with the minimum of pain and suffering. When complete the World Map Guide will take you every step along the road from constructing your first World Map to overhauling the World Map GUI.
I hope you enjoy the journey!

A truly great help to get the map working! I only noticed that I had to manually create the "sj_mod_world_map_demo_ld.ncs" script as it wasn't included as a ready file. Not a big problem as the text was there, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Thank you for your time in creating this! _________________________ EPIC CAMPAIGN 3.00 My builds are at nwn2.wikia.com and at nwn2db.com

Overall, an excellent contribution. Very detailed documentation. Thanks to this tutorial, I was able to succuessfully upload and install my own custom map for use in my upcoming module. I greatly appreciate the obvious time and effort that was put into this guide. I would recommend it highly.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who voted over the last year or who has emailed me with questions and suggestions: I appreciate all your feedback and I'm just sorry that the guide has been neglected while I've been working on Khalidine and the like. I'm hoping to be able to devote more time to my own projects, including the WMG, in the coming months so, fingers crossed, there may be some updates appearing either here or on Link Thanks! _________________________ Sunjammer Code Monkey

Such a great tutorial I had to create a profile just to vote on it.

Very good tutos, Thansk for sharing. How does it works for PW? I was assuming that as we name the map when calling it, we can use different maps dynamically IG, did you test this or is it just a wishful thinking in my head? :)

I think the way NWN2 implements world maps is needlessly complex. However, this well-written and informative guide makes the process much easier to deal with.

If you want general information about PW aspects of the World Map you should speak to weby on the BioBoards or in the CR channel (#NWN2CR) or if you have a specific question let me know and I'll find out for you. _________________________ Sunjammer Code Monkey

Just wondering if anyone has looked in the PW aspect of this ? would love to be pointed in a direction to find some good info on how multiple players could use the world map?

Nothing springs to mind but I'll have a dig around in the OC scripts and see if I can find anything. In the meantime thanks to everyone who has voted since the last time I said thanks! _________________________ Sunjammer Code Monkey

While playing the original campaign during Act II the Blacklake and Merchant districts of Neverwinter disappeared from my world map and I have no more access to them :( It's possible the conditional scripts bugged for some reason, but how exactly can I fix them? Any ideas?
