I have released a small, uhhh, tiny work that is based on hildskialf's old Clear Fog of War mod. The old version appended area scripts and some areas already did this in some vanilla game areas. The drawback with this is not every area has a script or modded areas with scripts weren't affected. I modified the code to work with party AI and explore any area and the bonus here is it will work for any modded area.
For now it works just for BG2 type games, mods, TC's and Baldur's Gate Trilogy but I am working on making it compatible with other IE games as well. The only drawback with my addition is that it may not work for cutscene mode that transports the party to a new area.
To some this may be a cheat but I always played most of my BG2 games and mods with hlid's CFOW as I do not like the black fog and I enjoy seeing the full area scenery.
Here is the link and I appreciate any feedback or criticism.
