@crGrc - Just removed the static stripes, will probably adjust the values to make it more readable in the future, but for now it's removed. I recommend you to download the original mod by Peimelo if you like the change though

Great mod. What do the recent changes (December 23rd) do?

@Gameshark - You have to delete the flatmap_detailed.fxh file in main_menu/gfx/FX/ folder

The stripes added by this mod are quite confusing, as they're the same size as the background, and make it hard to perceive which culture/religion is in the majority, and which is in the minority. What files do I need to modify to undo this and get back the default stripe size?

Could you make the map to look more like CK3 map? More contrast, vibrant colors with darker gradient towards borders. That would be great.

@dantheMan yes it is compatible

Anybody figure out if better road builder is compatible?

@nqwery I figured it was Steam screwing up the downloads, restarted it and it's fixed. thanks.

@Richard Hamster - Perhaps try unsubscribe and resubscribe? If it still doesn't work I'll probably just make a direct download link for the mods.

help! I subscribe to this mod and it doesn't seem to download? 0 bytes installed and doesn't ever show up in the mods list in the main menu. Other mods are fine

10/10 mod simply for the fact that my North Sea Empire is no longer the same color as the ocean

Have you tried disabling other mods that might conflict?

@Jvr - Better Road Builder seems to be working on my end

It's just me or after the recent updates to this mod the better road builder don't show up anymore? isn't it integrated into the mod?

much better without seeing lines as easily

works now, thx

@Marczewka - Thank you for the heads up, should be fixed now.

Otherwise great visuals

When I select a market, the mapmode becomes weirdly opaque and I can't see which markets are in range.

@Agraza - Not intended for the lines to be that noticeable, should be fixed now

why the lines on the water? :( nice otherwise

Oh cool, cant wait. Busy with exams too atm so I understand!

[Army of Two] AXIS - Unfortunately that's just how it's implemented by Paradox. I have had plans to try to make a mod that makes the fully zoomed out map more aesthetic and readable but I'm busy with exams rn

Yes but the flat map zoomed out does not have any paper map art on it :/ Just flat colours

@nqwery Looks really great, though not compatible with Astrolabe. Love the colours nonetheless

You can by going to the settings, click the map section, and switch the Flat Map Mode to Zoomed Out.

Is it possible to get paper map mod where I see it zoomed out but not zoomed in?
Seems like vanilla forces me to choose either paper map or full terrain and graphics, but I dont see the paper map when zoomed out.

I find the paper map much more atractive from afar or mid range and the terrain gfx better somehwere from closer mid to close range.

@AkhyKabyle_ - try out the vibrant version here: https://eo.steamhost.cc/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3616480377

This is amazing but the drop shadow on the blue water and the paint splotch effect on countries kinda ruin it

Yeah I tried to see into the map_modes.txt file, but tweaking it is something I'm not capable of doing. I'll just wait until you make one, hopefully. Thank you for your work

Since it's using the same settings as the base mod it's indeed intended, it's to make the map have a bit more texture, but it still probably needs more tweaking to get the balance of texture and readability just right

Feel free to tweak it on your own by editing map_modes.txt and tweaking the paper map settings.

I have alot of ideas for papermap mods but the stuff I could mod for the flatmap is a bit lackluster. I'm probably gonna try making a high saturation submod for this soon tho since I've been thinking about making one for awhile

Damn that was quick ! Thank you so much !

That being said, is it normal that the colours became a bit washed out? Previously when I was using your map mod with Astrolabe, the colours were deep and saturated, but now they're not with the compatch.

Here's the comparison between without the compatch : https://ibb.co/LDBP5LP6

VS with it : https://ibb.co/kgXRm9fv

@AkhyKabyle_ - Sure, here's a compatch for it.

Mod is really great, been using it since it was posted. However, it is not compatible with Astrolabe - Smart Map Navigator, due to it having Better Road Builder integrated. Any chance you could integrate Astrolabe - Smart Map Navigator as well?

@chivu - Since Better Road Builder edits the map_modes.txt file, it seems to not be compatible with this and most other mods that edit the file. I'll just incorporate it into the main mod since it's a pretty crucial mod.

Not compatible with Better Road Builder

@crGrc It doesn't have any impact on performance, purely some graphics tweaks

Does this map have any impact on performance? I'm guessing not but it would be good to know.

@2bullitz unfortunately not.

@HiFiAnatomia should be fixed now

@nqwery

I implemented what u said and it's good, but is it now achievement compatible?

For some reason country colours appear very washed out for me when zoomed out to paper map. It also sometimes flickers between very pale / normal saturation when panning the camera for colours like it's "transitioning"

Imperator Rome vibes man

10/10 mod

@DerRitter
https://eo.steamhost.cc/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3602081918&searchtext=how+to+get

if only this were achievement compatible....

@Kimlin Yes, It is save game compatible

Hi Nael, Is it save game compatible?

@2bullitz

go to \loading_screen\common\defines\graphic

open flatmap_adjust.txt and remove the stuff that doesn't effect the water color like the base color of land and default color

delete all the other files in in_game and main_menu.

Is it possible to have just the dark water without any other changes?

Beautiful - worth noting that to have it constantly with angle, set 3D terrain to off, then restart game, took me a while to work out but now I have the beautiful map constantly.
