In-Game Biome Map

Description
Simple mod to add an overlay of the biome map on top of the normal map in-game. Very useful if you want to know where the exact borders of the biomes are, without having to tab out for the wiki's map.

Hope you enjoy. :)

Thanks for explaining this. Just shows how much goes into these projects. Great job by the way!

Because file wise it's not an overlay, it's the entire map. The game can only override the map, can't overlay something on top. So I had to overlay it on top manually, then save it as a file replacement.

And it has to support very high levels of zoom, so it's very high resolution. Some map mods go over 200mbs, so I think 67 was pretty good.

Might sound like a weird question but why is the file size 67 mbs for a map overlay?

简单的模组，在游戏中的普通地图上添加生物群落地图的叠加层。如果您想知道生物群系的确切边界在哪里，则非常有用，而不必查看维基的地图。

Should work exactly the same as the normal map, as it's just an image swap. There is no code or other data in the mod, just an image.

If you're encountering issues, they must either be another mod, a vanilla bug, or a local issue with your computer or mouse.

how do i zoom in and out of this map? Doesn't seem to work with just scrolling

Back in the day, most people in the community called them "biomes" anyway. Not to mention that the game used to refer to them as such. I was just repeating the pattern.

Nowadays if I wanted to be technically accurate, I could call it a Spawn Area map. But that would just confuse people, because they'd have no clue what I was talking about. :P

I agree. The name is misleading. It says "biome" but it's just a territory map. If you had put colors in that corresponded to environment then that would have made more sense. Maybe use a striping system. One stripe for rain and the other for fertility and maybe another for mineral resources.

Anyway, thanks.

Ahh so it's not a biome map then, just a region map. Gotcha.
Shidan  [author] Apr 4, 2021 @ 4:15pm 
The colours themselves mean nothing. Just a way to differentiate the regions from each other.

The names are the important part. And both them and the coloured regions are visible at all times.
