So, yesterday i was bored and played arround with the functions GetTileExplored & SetTileExplored so i am justly simply sharing it here.
Script is supposed to run for the Events "Area OnEnter/OnExit" and "Module OnPlayerRest". So it saves the minimap vision/fogofwar state of the current area to the bio db on every area enter/exit and player rest.
Take/use it at your own risk because it was just a quick test, didn't really run an super hard test cycle with it.
I don't know if anyone else is using this code, but your snippet above was enough for me (a total NWN scripting newbie) to implement on our test server. We'll shake it a little to see if we have any problems before moving to the live server, but wanted to share that I am thankful for this quality of life improvement!

const string MINIMAP_DB = "minimap_db"; void main() { object oArea = OBJECT_SELF; object oPC = GetEnteringObject(); if(oPC == OBJECT_INVALID) oPC = GetExitingObject(); if(oPC == OBJECT_INVALID) { oPC = GetLastPCRested(); oArea = GetArea(oPC); } if(!GetIsPC(oPC)) return; int iAreaHeight = GetAreaSize(AREA_HEIGHT, oArea); int iAreaWidth = GetAreaSize(AREA_WIDTH, oArea); string sAreaResRef = GetResRef(oArea); string sMap = GetCampaignString(MINIMAP_DB, sAreaResRef, oPC); string sX; string sY; struct sStringTokenizer stTok = GetStringTokenizer(sMap, ","); while(HasMoreTokens(stTok)) { stTok = AdvanceToNextToken(stTok); sX = GetNextToken(stTok); stTok = AdvanceToNextToken(stTok); sY = GetNextToken(stTok); SetTileExplored(oPC, oArea, StringToInt(sX), StringToInt(sY), 1); //SendMessageToPC(oPC, "explored sX: " + sX + " / sY: " + sY); } sMap = ""; int x; int y; for(x = 0; x < iAreaWidth; x++) for (y = 0; y < iAreaHeight; y++) if(GetTileExplored(oPC, oArea, x, y)) sMap += IntToString(x) + "," + IntToString(y) + ","; SetCampaignString(MINIMAP_DB, sAreaResRef, sMap, oPC); }I removed a few extraneous braces and made the layout of a few of the lines consistent with the rest of the code.
