--- If you like this mod please remember to rate it with a thumbs up as it'll help others find it as well! ---

This simple mod makes planning your next move much easier. It removes the clouds from the Fog of War (FoW) while making the FoW brighter, thus easier to observe provinces that are covered in FoW. It also removes the shifting in intensity of the darkness of the FoW, no more waiting for 2-3 seconds again just to be able to read a province name. And if that was not enough, it saves your scroll wheel from goin' bust, no more constant zooming in to read province names. All in all, it makes the FoW Better.


If you would like to change the brightness of the FoW to make it darker, follow these instructions;
Find the mod in ""username"\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod". There is a betterfow.zip there. Unpack it and go to "betterfow/gfx/FX", there is the file "standardfuncsgfx.fxh".

On line 186 it should look like this:
float vShade = vFoWDiffuse + 0.5f;
Change the last number "0.5f" to a lower number to make the FoW darker. For example "0.3f" for slightly darker, "0,1f" for much darker, and "0.01f" for something close to black. It should look like this instead:
float vShade = vFoWDiffuse + 0.1f;
Once you've changed it you need to pack the files up again. Make sure the zipfile is called betterfow.zip and that there isn't a folder called "betterfow" in the .zip, The contents of the .zip should be two folders called "gfx" and "map" and a file called "descriptor.mod".

Alternative download and older versions for pre patch 1.8 compatibility available at Paradox forum thread[forum.paradoxplaza.com] for this mod.

Thank you to DVolk for inspiration from his FoW mod[forum.paradoxplaza.com]!

If for some reason this mod fails to work, or I haven't updated this mod to work with a new update, check out "Simple Fog of War" by xioben, as a substitute as it does pretty much the same thing.

Enjoy!

turns my map into a horrifying pitch black world with red and green, I guess I should check the last updated date before I install mods

Found a way to use HΛLΛXΣL's fix:

Go to EU4 mod folder, u'll have there bunch of *.mod files, e.g. ugc_231191093.mod. Open them with notepad until you find something like:

name="Better Fog of War Mod"
tags={
"fixes"
"graphics"
}
picture="betterfow.jpg"
supported_version="1.25.*.*"
archive="F:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/###/###/###_legacy.bin"
That is the actual name of the mod and the path to the files of the mod, which is in this case:

F:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/###/###/###_legacy.bin

Your path might be different ofc. Since the mods are downloaded via workshop and applied by the new launcher this is the only place where the files exist locally and will be loaded by the game.
So you navigate through the appropriate (rather weird) path of this folder structure and then you open the 936060064723263339_legacy.bin with any packing program, like winrar, 7-zip, etc. And there are the files which you should fix like HΛLΛXΣL said.

HΛLΛXΣL how can I apply the fix with this new Launcher? There are no .zip files in the mod folders anymore.
