By hand. What I did was set in my Photoshop Prefs a grid the size that I wanted, then used it as a template to lay down a proper grid with the line tool. When finished, Select the grid and stroke it with the color you want.

If you want, I can simplify my own PSD file (make it very basic), zip it up and post a link here for you to pick it up if you think that'll be easier.

 

[Nalfeshnee]

that would be very helpful thanks

Okay, you can pick up my PSD grid template file here.

You'll note that in the layer folders for the sample creature and character I've included layers for their threatened areas (to 5 ft and 10 ft), but they're currently turned off. I turn them on when resolving the round, but leave them off when uploading the map for players' viewing. I used to leave them on in the final maps but I found that it ruined the beautiful NWN backgrounds so now it's up to the player's to keep an eye out for meandering into other creatures threatened areas...

Let me know if you have any troubles with it.

ive posted a map up on the IC thread, missing a grid. i was thinking of a larger grid - maybe 30x30 grid so as not to obscure too much detail.

You mean larger squares? You can always scale the existing one up if you wanted to, then crop off the excess. It should hold together okay.

Just had a look at the IC thread - the map looks great !

That is a pretty small one, buti think it woks out ok. at least now we all know whose where. though the map doesnt perfectly match what i had in mind, it will do for this combat. the others will be redisigned around the nwn maps, so whould be better than this one.

(course some terrain will need a stretch of the imagination. plains of red grass and writhing trees in the Abyss, for instance )

It's a pretty nice map, except Kyran isn't on it. Do you have the CEP content pack? That has alot of stuff if you can get it to work, I couldn't though.

 

[A'koss]

When you have the CEP pack loaded the easiest way to make use of it is to always start with the default CEP starter module. That way it has all the stuff already loaded.
