This is a utility mod. it lets you drop a map overlay on top of the map editor surface.

Updated 9th April 2020 - incorporating a change suggested by Archimon - which neatly removes the flicker from the maps.

You can then trace the roads / rail lines etc. and drop towns in the right place.

It is far from perfect - I would really like to use terrrain faces and get the map to fold over the terrain.
At the moment it 'hovers' just above the ground. Which is great if your map is completely flat but not so great if you are using a height map.

The mod can be found in the madhatter category in the asset menu.

Options

Base map size - set this to match the map editor size - ie small / medium / large / etc
Base map ratio - set this to match the map editor ratio - ie 1:1 1:2 1:3 etc.
These two values will initially scale the map to fit the map editor surface size.
- so you can use the same map on any setting


Map - 1,2,3 or 4 - You can have up to 4 graphic files with maps in.
They are usually located here:-
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1066780\1939067713\res\textures
Each one is 2048x2048 replace the contents with your maps but keep the file size.

Scale Major % - 0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90
Scale Minor % - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

These two are added together - 90 + 9 = 99%, 0+1 = 1% they adjust the map size
