[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 2619101, member: 20741"] No - you cannot reduce the grid in NWN. You can, however, turn it off from being visible in the toolset and use scaling on the image via Photoshop (or whatever program suits your fancy) to adjust the image for scale. This works wel for exterior tilsets and I use this all the time and its very convenient. The same works for interior tiles - but does not work as well when using tilesets which are furnished. (ie the bed or table ends up looking much too small). NWN is based on one tile being 10 meters x 10 meters. Not 5 feet by five feet. The scaling is off by a fator of about 6.3 or so. When you need to use an interior - use a tileset from NWVault that has had all of the furniture removed from the tile and scale the screen shot(s) optically in photoshop. There are several tilesets on NWvault which have all the furnishings stripped out of them. They are free to download. Should you wish to add placeables to your tile at the right scale, NWmax has a scale wizard so that you can increase the standard placeables in game by whatever percentage you want. The basic 3d modeling program (gmax 1.2) is free as is the NWmax modeling scripts that we developed is also free. While 3d modeling requires skill - the scale wizard does not. Anyone who is able to use the toolset is able to use our scale wizard. NWmax is available off of our website at [url]www.nwmax.dladventures.com[/url]. We host a support forum for NWmax on our website: [url]www.dladventures.com[/url] BTW, NWN2 will have scaling built in to the toolset. Note as well: The DragonShard World Editor, which I am just starting to play with now, works very well for this purpose too. [/QUOTE]
