NWN Mapping and Modules
Berendir @ 6:48 pm EST

Heres some more news from the Neverwinter Nights Vault. The first bit of news is about Mapping in NWN:

Both the players and the DM will have access to a map. The map screen will display a small scale iconic representation of the terrain in the area. The map will automap while you walk around, with the DM's map fully exposed.

And heres some information on Modules:

The client is actually quite unaware of what module you are running. The server hold the module and send the client updates about which tiles to display, where the characters are, where they are going, etc. The only items requiring downloading are custom art or sounds (if we can support them). Make what you want, share it by uploading it or keep it to yourself, it matters not.
