Is there any way to, kind of connect the region boudaries i.e. Run straight from one region to the next with no loading screen? the kind ofthing i mean is like what Morerunes did with his Fable: The New World mod http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVsn6ujHfUI&feature=relat ed
if it is possible, could anyone tell me how to do it and, if so, are there any problems with joining the whole world together, only leaving the islands seperate. i.e. extreme lag or such...
Thanks in advance, Shorti

Region merging. A long time ago I took the liberty of merging all the landmasses in Fable and put it in my TNG Editor's Set. There are quite a few problems with this though, a brief and incomplete list of the few issues I can think of:
- The largest region has... I forget how many maps but it's a lot, it's the whole stretch from Twinblade's tent to the graveyard circle, and it takes forever to get from one side to the other.
- Because all the maps are consolidated, and because you only get one REGION entry for each region, you impose one set of region definitions on entire landmasses.
- NPCs can't follow you between all the regions. This has to do with how the navdata is set up, and we can't edit the navdata, so...
- It sucks up way too much memory if you don't clear out all the maps. You'd be running several villages at once, and that consumes a lot of resources.
- Quests are borked. Most quests and cutscenes are set to trigger at a certain place in a region at a certain time. With consolidated regions, most of those regions don't exist anymore, and that breaks quests.
If you're not interested in my 'already did it for you' set and want to merge the regions yourself because you're weird and crazy, open up the FinalAlbion.wld (mind the file extensions) with notepad, scroll down where the regions are defined. How it works: each region has a series of ContainsMap lines that tell Fable which maps go in which regions. Edit these as you please, just make sure that the end result has each map called once and only once in all the regions. Then edit userst.ini, change UseCompiledWorldFiles to FALSE.
Edit: Or do what OldBoy said, everyone appreciates a guy who can search.

After spending roughly an hour running from one end of Albion to the other, I finally realise how it could take 5 years to make a game like this, and also why after another 5 years people like us are still fascinated with it...
would there happen to be a version of this "TNG editors kit" that wasn't bare? like the complete version of the game, with buildings, NPCs, fences, rocks and such?

You can use the default TNGs, but I would recommend at least removing quest sections from the TNGs because Fable will crash outright. And even still, I'd recommend getting rid of anything that doesn't have a null ScriptName or ScriptData for the same reason. And even then, performance is a concern. At least in theory, as I've never tried it.
I might put that together at some point.

To be honest, I'd look in the .TNG's even though I could be wrong.

Leren van de taal van Nederland is leuk.
Ik heb nog veel te leren, hoewel.
Tengo la ambición de aprender a español.
Yet I have no idea how to start.

TNGs, as has been said. In each TNG there are sections that are used for certain quests. You want to get rid of all of them except XXXSectionStart NULL. It's not enough to just get rid of the lines, because what you'll get is a crash. You clear it out from XXXSectionStart to XXXSectionEnd, leaving only the null section.
Even then, you can get issues if you don't get rid of anything that doesn't have null for ScriptName and ScriptData. If it has something other than null, that means it's used somehow either in a quest or a cutscene or by the executable or whatever, and you want to get rid of it.
And even then, you'll still have performance issues, as well as everything else I mentioned earlier.

Nope, read the rules, we don't provide original files on this site. Redump the FinalAlbion.wad. If you deleted the FinalAlbion.wad, get a clean one off your retail discs.
