Okay after some searching through NI I found the correct area file for the promade and I can port there and visit all the places, but when I leave the area (AR0700) I cannot go back except by porting. Hopefully someone can find out what is wrong and let me know.

Uh my, I screwed up badly here. The visibility of AR0602 is wrong for both cases, I am really sorry about this
Fixed worldmap.wmp is attached and will also be included in v3 that I hope to have done this weekend. Apologies for this

* EDIT * Seems as if I cannot add attachments anymore... If you know how to do this you might just switch off the visibility flag for AR0602 using NI, just ask if you need assistance

Oh no, does this mean that I have to start a new game?

No, why should you have to? You can either ignore this version, install it and enjoy only the modified graphics or start a new game. It is up to you.

If you are concerned about the fixed bugs, please let me tell you that the Eshpurta bug has been there for years, you can work it around using CLUA. The bug in Athkatla can be easily fixed in your save game using NI (this was already explained above). And if you really don't dare to touch your save game, please contact me and I will change it for you.

Actually I'm quite early in my game, so starting a new game would hurt only a little, still I don't really want to. Thanks for your generous offer, I may need your help in the future, but I'm fine at the moment. I guess the new graphics would be nice tho. Can I install this version on top of the previous, or should I remove that first?

Yacomo,

I think you should get your own forum for this mod and your other projects. This would let others see how their mod could be add to the map.

The offer will remain - if I break it, then I'll have to fix it

I generally recommend uninstalling before installing a new version, but it should not really make a difference.

[PolarBear]

Come on, you didn't break anything

Oh, and by the way I'm using and love both of your mods, wonderful work indeed!

And Chev might have a point there aswell

Bug:BGT area AR3900 has "Bald Hill" text description.
AR4300 - "Forest of forgotten souls"

Reinstalled twice just to be sure and all the labels are right in my install (with BP-BGT). I wonder what could cause your problem? Maybe an old save game, some corruption of dialog.tlk? I do not really know

Btw: All the text patching is still 100% from BH1.8, did not change a single thing yet

[NiGHTMARE]

Yes.

Easiest way is to use NI to remove the Worldmap.WMP file from your saved game. This will give you a new map. Just use the CLUA command to hop between the areas so they start showing up on the map. Some areas like the Xvart village you may never need to bother with because you never go back there anyway.

[Yacomo]

If you know how to use NI, you could also replace the worldmap.wmp in your save game folder with the one from the override folder (make a backup first). Then you can use NI to make all the locations in your save game that you have visited so far 'visible' and 'visited'.

[Yacomo]

Just a quick question because I'm too tired to check for myself....would this mod allow me to travel from the ToB areas to the SoA areas  and vice versa?

Only if somebody wrote a mod that enabled you to This mod only offers the basics that would be required for such a mod, meaning the locations are all there (on a single map), but there are no links between the ToB areas and SoA, so the SoA ones will not be 'reachable' once you are in ToB. You could however CLUA to SoA areas, don't know what will happen then B)

[Yacomo]

Yeah the CLUA is doable but i have a more focused question now....If i CLUA'ed to a SoA area (which can be done in a ToB game with no visible problems could I then move around the SoA areas by using your MoD? Cuz that would be fine...If not im going to have to learn how to make this all access mod myself. Not so much that I have to as much as I want to

Nobody tried this before, but yes, you should be able to travel around. The game may behave a bit 'odd' here and there, since none of the SoA scripts will be prepared for you 'coming back', but apart from that you should be able to do some shopping and even finish quests if they do not depend on you being in a specific chapter. I'd say, give it a try and tell me about your experience. If nothing fatal happens by hopping between SoA and ToB I might add a teleporter stone or somesuch to a future version of the mod
