Baldur's Gate Hints
About This File
Baldur's Gate includes large levels, many with no name. Thankfully, the kind folks at Interplay and Bioware have included a cursor location system. When in the game, just press the L key to have the program display the location of the cursor. This file will list cursor locations in standard order (x,y).
Be warned that EACH TIME the program displays a load scene, there has been a change in area, which means that there is a new XY grid. This means that a building will have its own set of XY coordinates. If you think something is odd in the coordinates listed in this file (e.g., the file says two things are in the same spot), then there's probably been an area and coordinate change.
