World Map

World Maps are a bit complex until you actually understand how they work. There are many dependencies needed to make the entire thing work. Credit to MrRean and NWPlayer123 for the current data. To-Do: Document the individual files in the WorldMap0X files in ObjectData thoroughly, find out the exact files needed for the GUI on the World Map and Grand World Map.

This is an example of the world map in-game.
