[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3044063, member: 20741"] Gee Johnn. You might try...oh....the NWN toolset - say? Yes, The Toolset. (Not in game - the toolset) Rick Burton did a custom script for me a year and half ago that spawns in black blocker planes as placeables over the entire toolset map. You then delete the placeable as you go to reveal the tile underneath. As long as the camera does not dip below the height of the blocker plane - fog of war is perfect. Using a projector - the scale problems *mostly* go away. The script itself is portable to NWN2 and the model is trivial to make. Given the lack of furnishing in the interior tiles for NWN 2 - it will work even better for that purpose. Plus, the scalability of all placeables in NWN2 makes correcting for Airplane Hangar syndrome much easier. I have the script package sitting around somewhere. Email me and I'll send it to you. Tokens to move around? I think you might find some in the Toolset. ;) Tabletop Mapper works as well. Google it - or try the downloads section here on Enworld (thought the one stored here locally on Enworld is a little out of date). I can mail you a copy of the most recent Tmap if you can't find it. You can thank me on Tuesday afternoon :D [/QUOTE]
