Toggle Fog Of War

Description
Adds a button in the top left to toggle fog of war.

I like to check on the state of the world from time to time, so I had to turn on/off a mod all the time. When Change Starting Settlement came out I had the idea to take the disable/enable of the fog of war as a standalone button.

So big thanks to Change Starting Settlement for giving me the idea.

It is save game compatible and should be compatible with everything.

Mod not working?
  • Disable ALL mods.
  • Enable ONLY this mod.
  • Start a new campaign.
  • Check if it works.

If it works but not with other mods, then one of those other mods has broken scripts.
This mod is literally only a few lines of code that uses the simplest of functions. It is very unlikely that this mod breaks.

Removing the mod mid playthrough
Make sure to create a save with fog of war enabled before turning the mod off.

Known Issues:
  • DON'T save with fog of war turned off. If you load that save there will be no fog of war at all
  • button does not hide on hide ui
  • changing ui scale moves the button in the middle of the screen. Reload the game to fix button position
  • you need to toggle fog of war off/on twice when loading a save with fog of war turned off

Got a save with broken fog of war?
  • load save
  • click toggle fog of war button ONCE
  • create new save
  • load new save
  • toggle fog of war off/on twice

@Valour

1) I do mean 4 times with that but press it as often as you want or until it looks correct
2) it doesn't look right

"• you need to toggle fog of war off/on twice when loading a save with fog of war turned off"

1) Does toggle FOW off/on twice mean pressing that button twice, or pressing it four times?

2) If I load a save with FOG turned off, and I don't perform the instructions, what bug is 'supposed' to happen?

So confusing...

I have not changed the code since the very first WH3 release.. so as long as you get any version it will be fine. I only push updates because people will scream "update" otherwise.

Thank you man, I actually checked them all, they've all been shut down by Valve in 2022 or earlier.

It's alright though, i've found the mod on a russian website which I think is the last such website remaining, it's only problem is that it's manually updated by volunteers (API seems to have been shut down), so it's a bit outdated, but it's running just as fine on the latest patch

Steam removed the link .. well...
steamworkshop [dot] download
or ask google

@Draky
I don't have anything setup for that at the moment but I will look into it.
In the meantime you can download any workshop item with tools like
{LINK REMOVED}
There are other tools as well, this is just the first that google gave me.

would you consider uploading the mod (particularly the WH3 version) on github? Would be a great boon for all of us who don't own the game on steam. Thank you.

P.S. One can't even comment on workshop items for a game that they don't have on their account which is why I'm writing this comment here.

@Mr JDW

I am assuming you mean Mod Configuration Tool || The Vandy Library

I just tested it and it works fine.
You probably have another mod that is broken.

Hiya im using the configuration tool and it seems that its hiding the button itself, any idea on how to fix? (using other mods such as diversity for army)
