See if this mod updates for you now, since there might have been some leftover stuff in this mod that could create your issue.

hmm, well, I guess these results could have been expected: I put Dark UI and Dark UI Retexture below No Map, and the UI is fine now, but the map is fully vanilla and functional.

I think it's because UI modifications probably can't tell the difference between a change and the entire file, so the last mod overwrites everything.

You should try to put the UI mod last, and this on top of it. I use Stripped UI and it seems to work as intended. Let me know how it goes after you switch the order. Hopefully that will fix it.

i'm loading this absolute last but it seems to create alignment issues in my Dark UI. The texture of the UI itself becomes misaligned with actual UI elements, for example my actual health bars are no longer inside the intended rectangles of the UI texture.

I think there are some map mods out there that show the regions on the map, but they are visible all the time.

It would take some trickery to get the map to update a region as well as the position of the town. There are files that have the town sprites in them, but I am not sure you can increase their size etc. Someone would have to have a look at that, but I doubt that will be me, since I have moved on to other things. I might out of curiosity have a look at it at some point and see how far this stuff could be stretched.

Can you make that when you arrive in a town the marker on the map also display the area around?

Enjoy :)

So simple yet so useful

A bit niche but glad you like it :)

Perfect mod, thanks a lot !

No probs :) I enjoy it thoroughly

pretty cool, thanks

The map is now completely gone! AND you can use DARK UI! Just make sure that this mod is under Dark UI in the mod list when you run the game, and this mod will work!!!!

I just found areas in the border zone that I've never seen in my years of gaming because I look around rather than look at the map :D

So here's a step by step:

Find the Dark UI mod from the steamapps/workshop/content folder. They're all numbered. Kenshi is a certain number, and all mods are numbered.

Copy the dark UI number folder, and plant it in the mods folder in the kenshi directory. Rename that folder to exactly what the .mod file is called. Then find the "gui" folder, and find the map, and copy the map image into the dark ui folder in it's exact same directory.

After this, paint it all black. Then find another file in the gui folder that has all the icons. Add a black square on top of all the map icons you want blocked. Test in game, and tweak the dark areas if necessary. Voila, you have Dark UI black map :)

Glad you like it!

I'll let you know what you need to edit once I get on my desk top! You don't need to import or anything, and you will get dark UI to your game.

This mod is so HUGE that it should have been a default game option, it's both an immersion mod and a graphical overhaul, since it forces you to actually look at things: wow
complete succes, all in 2 minutes of modding. wow.
simply my favourite kenshi mod.

allright, screw dark UI, the new ironman with hardest settings and no map begins tonight!
So nevermind my previous question.

"You just gotta edit the file with the icons": could you tell me where I find this please?

I tried to upload the dark UI mod with the dark map, but it seems that I couldn't do it. The guy hasn't responded so I guess it's not happening at the moment.

You can do it yourself though, it's fairly simple. You just gotta edit the file with the icons, and make them all black.

Lay down campfires, they are free and don't cost any supplies. use them as arrows to point your way home.

nevermind the guy, he's maybe away.
Anyways, one thing that would further this mod would be to disactivate the location popup(not what you have talked about earlier, but regions popup, like in: BAST, or THE OUTLANDS, the big font that pops up whenever you enter a new region)

as for darkUI, how hard must it be to set the UI to black with white font? If it's doable via the editor, even I may give it a try tonight.

The dude is not responding. Try asking him yourselves if you want this. It will pretty much take a minute to do, so if he is asked a few times I'm sure he can oblige us :) I tried to upload a version but it seems there is a block on uploading similar mods or something, since I couldn't upload it.

I got in contact with the maker of DARK UI, so we will see what he says when he as time to respond. The best way would be for him to upload the mod without the map. I would then post a link to his mod on this page.

I was looking into removing the whole map, from the game, but I'm not sure that's possible. One might find a way to move the map off screen, and I will definitely look into moving the location discovery notifications off screen so you won't get popups notifying you when you are near some location.

Just a few more minutes.... Happy work day :D

allright buddy, go to bed, I have to go to work^^, now you hang up.

Hah :D

I'm in the Rebel Base for some rest, and I forgot from which direction I came from lol Damn it

this mod by itself justifies a fourth kenshi run.
I want to get lost on my way home, I want to take shortcuts into beakthings nests, I want to approach skinbandits to ask for directions^^

And I gotta say, I'm loving this. I already had to get out of the swamps, and I am exploring the borderzone like never before :)

Glad you like the idea! I just messaged him, so either he will do it, or I will, so long as he agrees to this joint venture :) I am about to head to bed, so you will hear from me tomorrow latest.

I'll post a message here once I hear from him!

oh thank god you exist!!!!!!!!!!!
it's a bit masochistic but exploration really gets enhanced, like x9 billions, and...we may even have to start drawing our known location's map on paper^^

sucks that dark UI does not work, please try your best to get the author's permission, it's a must have mod, and for now I value his mod over yours, out of habit.
