I am happy to announce that the third version of the revised BP-BGT worldmap is now available on the IEGMC mirrors.

Download locations:
IEGMC Asia
IEGMC Asia (mirror)
IEGMC Europe

Please send any feedback here: Discussion thread on the Forgotten Wars BP-BGT forums

Some screenshots from former versions can be found here: Screenshots on the Forgotten Wars forums

So, what is it? From the readme:

- a clothmap style worldmap covering a large part of Faerun - derived from the wonderful Check the Bodies map by CBisson and Valiant, but four times the size and all missing medium and large cities as well as several area labels added
- a full set of coloured Baldur's Gate map icons including all required variations
- support for a growing amount of mods, including BP-BGT and TuTu
- a clothmap style Throne of Bhaal map to spice it up, alternatively you may play Throne of Bhaal using the Shadows of Amn map

Changes since v2:

- recreated the worldmap using smaller city icons and labels, they were really too large
- incorporated the nice new miniature graphics of Baldur's Gate and Athkatla that SirKill kindly donated
- moved Ulgoth's Beard to it's own island as it should be
- moved Berdusk and Iriaebor farther to the east
- moved Murann a bit to the south
- minor adjustments to some icon locations to suit the modified worldmap graphics
- added an addtional option that allows playing Throne of Bhaal with the large map, of course you cannot use the clothmap style Throne of Bhaal map then
- added missing map link that made it impossible to reach Eshpurta in the TDD part of the game
- added compatibility to 'old' BGT without the CtB compatibility fix from Sir BillyBob; two BGT areas (AR3500 and AR3600) were renamed starting with DSotSC since they were also used in CtB
- fixed a serious bug introduced in v2 concerning the visibility flag for Irenicus Dungeon (AR0602); that bug that made it effectively impossible to enter Waukeen's Promenade (AR0700) via the map, you had to clua there
- updated to mosunpack 0.92
- updated installer so that it is not possible to install optional mod components without installing the main worldmap first
