Thanks mate.

I've uploaded the update. my game seems to be having trouble loading mods for whatever reason and I could only verify it works by directly modifying the vanilla map_modes.txt, but hopefully it will work for you guys

@Osium thanks for keeping up with this for me, for some reason steam will not notify me when there's new comments on here

like they said, this mod should be compatible with all new versions of the game as long as new map modes aren't added. I don't play CK3 regularly so I don't always know when it's breaking. I will update it ASAP but still, expect warnings about it being outdated in the future

@Osium: That would be awesome!

NP homie, I've been playing PDX games since EU2 and HOI1, and I hate the new terrain/political map hybrids, I always, ALWAYS make a personal mod whenever I play HOI4/Vicky3/CK3 ;) I expect I will have to do the same for EU5 as well!

@Osium thx 4 ur constructive suggestion

This should be very easy to update if it doesn't still work.

Either make a mod yourself, or make a dirty edit (directly modify the file).

The file is map_modes.txt located in game\gfx\map\map_modes

Look at the commented out tags. #hollow near look for the gradients for inside. Set those to 1 or .5 or whatever you want. 0 is devoid of color, 1 is a full fill of the proper map color.

Looks to me you need to change 2 things. Flat Map, is 0.8 so it will be 80% color so mostly color, if you want, set that to 1. The other is under #hollow near. Change this hollow_near_gradient_alpha_inside = 0 to 1 or .8 or whatever.

Best way to do this, IMO, is likely to make a local copy of this mod. Then delete the original map_modes.txt file for this mod, copy current file from the game in, and then make the edits. Voila.

However, this is likely still working unless new map modes were added.

it's compatible withs miller's map?

can someone get this working again pls

Getting error log spam about 'Could not find map mode "title_troops"'. I suspect it might be caused by this mod, as the contained map_modes.txt seems to indeed be missing that one.

Thanks a lot! It seems to work flawlessly now

nevermind again it seems to just be an issue with my game, my map looks all black even with no mods enabled

wait nevermind i broke it

should be working now, let me know if you have any more problems

I'll take a look, thanks for letting me know

Will this mod get an update?

None of the new map modes (retinue, disease, and legend) work right now

@Nomen sorry for the late reply, is there an issue with the mod?

What about a mod that does the opposite - I always want to see the landscape, for me it kills immersion to have it filled with color

yo is this gonna get updated?

這個好耶 終於不用猜伯爵領的範圍了

thanks, I just updated it and it seems to be working now. let me know if there's any other issues.

The new map modes doesn't work at all. Unless I'm missing something there are three that don't work.

Here's a link to the map modes list that shows two of them:

And what you get when you hover over the map modes:

Ctrl-S = Economy and Buildings
Ctrl-F = County Control

Are the two that don't work in this list.

Otherwise when you're planning to travel, you can't see your path or the dangers along the road

please let me know exactly what's wrong with the mod, I just tried it and it seems to work fine still for me, but I don't have any DLCs or anything.

Been wondering about a mod like this. A 1.9 update would be much appreciated

Will this mod be updated? It's such a huge QoL thing that I can't understand how people play without it

pls update on 1.9. doesn't work with new map regims

Outdated, but works for 1.7.1. Ironman compatible confirmed.

BIG thanks!

Both issues fixed - https://i.imgur.com/farYNlh.jpg

I just remembered it's possible to turn off mods, so I turned off this mod and tried the ctrl+L hotkey and it results in the same blank map. so what I added in the update should probably fix the issue.

thanks for reporting the issue, I don't own the dlc so I never would have known about it. it looks like they added a few hundred more lines to the map_modes.txt file for the new map modes they added in the dlc, which were all missing from this mod's file. I added them to the mod and that made the ctrl+L hotkey work, but the map looks like the blank one in your screenshot. I'm not sure if that's just because I don't own the dlc, though. I'm going to update the mod with the new lines, let me know if it fixes the problem.

Hey, I love the look this mod brings to the game!

Unfortunately there seems to be a minor visual/functional problem with it now after the court update. (I own the DLC, with this as the sole active mod.)

I tried looking up online if the court language map mode is bugged on its own first, but it seems that it was an issue with the mod.

The court languages view accessed from within court doesn't display ANY languages and the specific map view toggled with the hotkey cntrl + L or from the (+) additional map modes button under "court languages" literally do nothing.

I would highly appreciate if you could take a look,
Thank you for the mod and your work!

yes

Is this achievement compatible?

Works on 1.4.4. I love it, no map flash when zooming anymore!

Thanks. "Subsribed" boom :)

This is amazing. This was the most useful map mode in CK2; and I hate how they handle it in CK3.

yeah, thought it would be simple as well, I remember asking in a dev diary and one of the devs said it should be a simple change, like you said I thought it would be simply telling it to appear at a much earlier zoom level. I am absolutely hopeless with modding so I wouldn't have even known where to start. thank you for trying anyway.

I looked into it and unfortunately I think what you would want is out of my expertise. the way to do it from what I can tell would be to modify the textures from the standard map (which there are a lot of) to look like the paper map, and I just don't have the skills with image editing to do that kind of work. initially I thought it would be a simple text file edit like this mod is, because in the file I modified for this mod there's a parameter that defines the zoom level at which the "flat map" (the term the game uses for the paper map) appears, but it doesn't seem to affect when the paper map comes up for whatever reason.

yeah that would probably be pretty simple to make. i'll see what I can do

great mod, i always preferred the "realms" view

Is there any possibility you could make a mod so that you had the paper map all the time?

no problem, thanks for downloading. I doubt it will ever need updating unless they change the way the map colors work somehow, but if it ever stops working leave a comment on here and I'll try to fix it

Yes, really needed this.
