CreateMaps
CreateMaps, "filename.esp"
Where: "filename.esp" = Plugin to create maps for
Type: Console
Returns: none
Example: CreateMaps Morrowind.esm
Scripts:
The function will actually create maps for all the plugins loaded in the game, not just the areas affected by the plugin. Nevertheless, it wants to be given the name of one of the loaded plugins.
The actual effect of this functions depends on the Create Maps Enable entry in MORROWIND.INI file. The accepted values are:
0 = None
1 = Xbox Maps
2 = Exterior Cell Maps
For the Xbox setting, maps are created for the given input plugin filename (a .MAP is created in the Morrowind\Data Files path). For the Exterior Cell Map setting, BMP files for all exterior cells are output to the Morrowind\Maps directory; you need to create this subdirectory if it doesn't exist yet.
Note that this takes a good deal of time so you may wish to let it run overnight. It is advised to start a new game and type the createmaps command ASAP, even before Jiub asks you your name. This cuts down the number of scripts and game functions running, making this very long process somewhat faster.
