May I suggest Removing the lift map pin in Upper Sanctuary in favour of a Barak-Tor map pin? Similarly, the Hoarite temple and the Gambler's Hall in Lower could use map pins as well.

You could also make a map and do your very own customized map pins!

You can call Barak-Tor "My secret sexy place" if you like!

Or, we could remove all map pins and let PCs start up a tourist industry, creating and selling their own maps!?

Yes? No? Oh-well.

Actually, I think pre-scripted map pins are ridiculous in the first place. If you want map pins, you need a map to pin them on. If you want a map to pin them on, you need to either buy it or make one.

Poissibility? Merchants with maps that reveal the entire area they were a map of and add DM-scripted map pins. If a map becomes outdated, you're just going to have to buy a new one. This will at the same time allow more RP with, among other things, competitively price PC-made maps, PC-made maps to otherwise secret locations (maybe even a scam artist selling a treasure map that leads nowhere) and much, much more.

At any rate, this was only meant for the city, as in, where people more often than not know where stuff is (even if they can't remember!). I'm not suggesting map pins for places outside Sanctuary.

But at least remove the lift one, seeing as it's, you know, destroyed and everything. >.>

I already make maps and try to make a living off it but that's not overly lucrative, but if it would reveal the minmap and not just add pins how would you determine how much it reveals? I think NWN only lets you reveal the entire map, so you could just enter an area, map it, use the map and instantly see everything.

There is a way but it is more laggy than it is worth, I think.

I once used the heartbeat event of an area to unreveal already explored territory from (off?) the minimap of the players currently within an area. But that was a rather clumsy approach to force them to use mapping equipment. There 's no really satisfying method to partly reveal the minimap to a player.

I have enough trouble finding where I'm going :) The problem is, if you loose a map you'll forget everything. I for one also use the maps to see what direction I'm heading in.
