 You can open .npc-files with NPC-Editors (there are a bunch at forum download section, check the link named something like "Kermi's FTP")
But those are old, some are about 20 years old from early 2000's and therefore can be a bit prickly

It's been ages since I tried to use them with bigmaps (tried some things for Aimnas bigmaps), but I do recall issues with values too high for them
like, if the value of the number is too high the Editor struggled
But you can give it try and maybe you numbers match, dunno

If you want to make Fatima work, that's the first you'd need them. Fatima's script is rather big, it spans over multiple records (inside the .npc)
i.e., as you may have noticed, she stops multiple times on her way to Rebel Hideout and waits for player to be close enough to move further
Those stops happen at GridNo's defined in those records (a .npc-file consists of several records)

I'm not sure what happens when you use a mix of map sizes, you may have to stick to one (like, either all are 160/160 or all are 200/200)
Give it try if you like, I don't know an example where that was done, but maybe it's working (still kinda doubt it)
If you use 200x200, be ready for extra work and adjustments all over the place.
I know not a single mod that managed to make all quests working on bigmaps (but well, the most prominent BigMaps-mods, Aimnas and Horn-Of-Africa, never got finished), but there's always a first, so why not

The Isolation point won't work without an fully enclosed area, so unless you do that, no point in using them
Point was just to not mistake them for "C" (which is always needed and important, unlike "I" which is only needed in some rare scenarios)
