Thinking Big about Guild maps

[cmkinsac]

I have been doing area maps, city maps, even structural plans, but I cant get the damned RAW file into Oblivion. I have everything design, modeling, and texturing figured out, but I cant get the map into the game. Any help here? Maybe someone that can transport it into Oblivion and send me the file?

A project like that was started along time ago by ProFantasy. They mapped most of Faerun. aka The Forgotten Realms. If you look on EBay, you can still find a used CD of it. It's called: The Interactive Forgotten Realms Atlas. I actually own one of the CD's and it has 400+ maps on it, all LINKED (drawn in CC2). Extreamly detailed work.

Here is the link: (project is closed)

Here is a pic of Water Deep. This map has about 50 links to it.
Enjoy.

I have a lot of maps from Faerun and it was these maps that drove me to start to make a mapping app.

The problem with them is that they are done for and licensed by wizards so that you cant add your own stuff to the maps or modify them and redistribute them. As such it is a natural consequence that eventually the project would stagnate because you have to rights to continue to improve it. After a short while and after I had mapped a few of the really small towns and found that later these towns had official maps made for them that I closed off doing any more mapping for Faerun. As an RPG game your supposed to fill in a lot of the detail and then you find that it becomes obsolete when the licensor modifies it.

It was a good product for its time - especially when everyone didn't have any (or a fast enough) internet connection.

Heres an old map I did of the sort I made before they changed them:

I would love to run around in the CWBP if it ever gets made into an Oblivion map.
