"Iron and Blood" Map Style

Description
COMPATIBLE WITH ALL VERSIONS 1.14+.

Iron & Blood is a map style featuring a flat political map while zoomed out and a translucent terrain-focused map while zoomed in. Rivers and gradient borders are only fully visible at a closer range, making the map look neater from farther away.
It's a few small changes, but I thought they combined to look nice. Major props to linwajun's HOI3 Map ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2193382134 ), where I got the idea (and some of the code) for this map from.
Oh yeah also I changed the impassable borders to some low-quality chain pattern I spent way too long on.

Remember: If you like the mod, you should like the mod. Helps it go around further and faster so more folks can appreciate it.



NOTE: I won't be able to update the mod until I get around to moving its files over to my current PC. However, it is still compatible with the most recent game version, 1.16.

Unfortunately, I do not believe I will. Sorry to disappoint.

(But if I ever do, I'll make sure to mention it in the Description)

will you be adding opengl compatibility?

allllllllright i finally got around to fixing the display images to correctly reflect the fact that the countries DO, IN FACT, HAVE MAP NAMES. i hate myself for intentionally removing them while taking the display screenshots the first time around.

i'm asking how it broke specifically because i'm not experiencing any issues with it, so i have no idea what could be broken.

by the way, the mod is only compatible with game versions 1.14 and beyond (in other words, it's only compatible with the current game version). mud shaders were changed in 1.14, so using the mod in earlier versions will cause heaps of issues. make sure you're not using the mod in an outdated game version.

Finally fixed that mistake I mentioned a month ago. Water will now rest at its intended height.

Apologies, you are right, it now says its fine; it must have been only on April 4th, and the day or two after, i guess it corrected itself. Thank you for responding though!

I've got no idea. It showed all my mods as outdated around the start of April (cool April fools joke, Paradox), but then they went back to normal, including this one.
This mod's version is set as 1.14.x, so I don't really know why it would be showing as out of date, especially because it's just fine for me. If it works alright, then it shouldn't matter.

Will this be updated to the latest game version? From my usage, the mod does not seem to be broken at all, but as of the latest update on April 4th, it now says this is now outdated.
