Thanks mate

Sure you can use it :)
I don't have the motivation/time to maintain this right now.

Hello, you said that people may not use anything from my mod, in whole or in part, without my explicit permission.
And that you will relax this at a later date.
I wnated to do some heavy modifications since it seems you lost motivation
If you authorize it of course

wooow

The problem is I can't fix the crappy terrain normal maps ETC. without modifying checksum
So desert mountains will be hard to see, desert super bright, etc. if u disable that stuff by deleting the terrain stuff. Blame paradox reeee >.<

It won't work with MP because it changes the checksum
If you get everyone to use it then the checksum will change for everyone and you will have no issues

Unfortunately Paradox is unresponsive, lots of 'we dont do dev here contact XX' and then no reply so unless someone can get a post on forums or something to get them to fix this it's no dice.

Does this mean multiplayer is no longer compatible?

You can tweak it by modifying the railroad shader a little, iirc, just remove the 'return' that I added before the rest of it. Or something along those lines.

Paradox refuses to respond so I guess this will modify checksum :(

Love this mod although I wish the railroads were still visible in default map mode

Thanks a lot my friend

Hello it indeed works

OK - updated. Should work fine now let me know if any issues.

Honestly most people play singleplayer and multiplayer is not really modded so it will be better to release it right now and release a future multiplayer compatibility patch later

@UnknownSniper This is wonderful news my friend ! I really appreciate the efforts. This might be the best map mod I have ever seen. Do you need any help ?

@Arcane Master -

I've fixed a few minor errors, and isolated the terrain mess up.
Unfortunately the issue lies in my workaround for checksum conflicts.
If I submit the fix now the mod will change the checksum so it will be useless for rmultiplayer.

I'm contacting paradox and hoping they can let me know of a workaround or two, or maybe expand the modding capabilities to be more user friendly.

If that doesn't work not much I can do to workaround this. Sigh.

Do what you must my friend

I understand

Don't feel like spending time on this sorry.........
No guarantees, might fix sometime but I have too much other stuff to work on for now.

Please

Hello, the mod needs an update because it messes up terrain in BBA

I hope it get update in next DLC, i really like this mod.

Not really. Too little feedback and usage to bother improving it, I don't play HOI4 atm either.
Maybe when I get back into it, next DLC? Will see. Or if more people use this :\

Is an update coming ?

I like it a lot! favorite!

Just tested with DirectX9 and DirectX11, no issues at all booting up into a new game etc.
Definitely no 'black screen' so xd

The ripples are still there, just zoom in?

Just delete therailway shader, read comment to be sure its the right one, and then it shouldn't override

Want to add that this mod is otherwise fantastic, really enjoying the look

Can you add a submod to bring back railways or something?

Hey, I have a question, is there a way to modify your mod to include the railways ? (They are still valuable to see where to cut off ennemies)

very nice

Instead of indenting/deforming the terrain (which they do for mud etc.) they just slap on the railroads. Makes them look extremely floaty (even with offset 0) and in certain crowded areas it's difficult to even see the underlying terrain. Looks jank on hills/mountains/etc.

Plus the supply-mode railroad pathing doesn't even match the on-map railways, e.g. goes to same tiles but map is left-right while supply mode is right-left.

hmm ok, seems like a weird change

as noted in change-notes that is intentional since the default railways look like crap and are not adjustable.

Dont know if anyone else is having this problem but Railways arent show up on the map normally, you can only see them because of the trains moving around or in the supply map mode.

FYI updated battleplan distances to match below, looks fine to me.

Terrain definitions are first-come first serve, they don't even override :\
It's why its !_ so it gets loaded before 00_ xd

Terrain map mode colors are mixed in with terrain movement penalties/etc.

If you don't care about terrain map-mode just delete !_terrain
Otherwise if you play with mod that changes terrain penalties, need to merge

i.e. Copy colors from my !_terrain (vanilla stats) to the modded 00_terrain or vice versa etc.

Can you explain why we need to merge 00_terrain changes into !_terrain? I thought the !_terrain was just additive to whatever else there is? Does it actually overwrite other mods 00_terrain file?

Yeah, I really like the changes this mod makes. I changed that those camera numbers to 350/200 and it seems like that will work well for me.

I haven't modified weather/rain .-.

Planning on doing so later maybe

I really like the changes to the different map modes, like how they now blend in more to each other (especially the air map mode) and the improved resolution and detail of the different terrain types. But would it be possible to change the way the rain drops, because it looks really weird in the angle it falls down to the ground?

Hmm, gp. I have it set for myself to group icons later that's probably why people are having issues then.

You can modify maparrow.shader and these:
// Camera-distance fade control
#define CAM_MAX 400
#define CAM_MIN 350

Adjust until the battleplans fade to your liking. Lemme know what you end up with and I'll just port it into my mod :>

For airbases, unoccupied and occupied look quite different to me? For one thing the unoccupied is reverse gradient so its an indented button + its black/grey + steelblue border, while occupied is light grey/white + a normal button.

The mod linked has way too much color on screen - You should be able to make it override my mod's airbase icons if you prefer them .-.

Separate suggestion: Possible to have "Occupied Airbase" be a different color from "unoccupied airbase" like in this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1690638578

Having them be different colors is helpful to quickly identify where your planes are at.

This is as close as I can get and still easily see the battleplans: https://i.imgur.com/JmqpQvk.jpg

That's too far out to make proper adjustments to the battleplans, especially when they are overlapping. What is the line to adjust this in the files? I can make my own edit to tune it the way I like it.

I certainly appreciate wanting more clarity at close zooms, but I still need to be able to make small adjustments to the plans, which i want to be zoomed in quite a bit more.

Battleplans are visible from 450 zoom and higher, and they're huge....dunno where anyone is having difficulties unsrnarling them. Do ya'll zoom in deep?

I find them distracting when im trying to micro units i.e. 99% of the time during zooms below 600

Damn, this looks really nice, but I can't use it because I can't see the battleplans. Trying to adjust and unsnarl them is basically impossible with this mod on. :(

For battleplans, I find myself mostly viewing them from a larger view. Up close they just tend to distract. Important ones such as naval invasions are always visible.

For airbases, I can maybe rescale the smaller ones to be smaller. I'll take some more feedback then start doing more tweaks :)

This is excellent, though the lack of battleplans visibility and air bases being too visible are my only real issues with it.

Looks great although I'm not sure about having to zoom out to see battleplans

Still nicely done

Adorable
