One of the reasons this mod sometimes doesn't work (in case anyone wondered) in multiplayer, is because it goes into an infinite download loop on the initialization screen.

Single player seems to be fine.

Using build 41.

41 78 works and ty!

will it come to b42?

I made a version of EMS that has the function fixed. Might fix some problems for you but should at least allow you to use Share Map Symbols mod again. Use at own risk.

I suspect a reason this works so bad with other mods that modifies the map is because it has a destructive "function ISWorldMapSymbols:prerender()" that doesn't allow for other mods to do their modifications correctly.

Not sure if this also affects base game functionality, but might do.

@mp17wd You probably have issues on your end with other things, as this mod should still work even brought into an existing save, as it's working on my own world. Even did a test, took it out loaded the world, exited, put the mod back in, loaded, and it worked fine. There are only a few of them in total, so it might appear that they aren't loading, as they do appear very, very close to what vanilla is.

@Flammable Tempted to do that as well. I have no idea specifically *why* the square bug happens, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with leaving, then rejoining and it's trying to load alternate vanilla symbols and fails as the regular symbols load just fine, so I just personally went and removed that ability from each one so it should load only vanilla symbols then the modded ones. Seems to have fixed the issue, as it hasn't happened again. after load/restarting the game at least 4 times each.

This does not work for me. Build 41, only mod active. Does it only work on a fresh save?

can you turn off the racoon symbol

#b42

Symbols are cool, but i'm so fed up with squares bug that i'm removing this addon.

Update pls

make update for build 42 pls

This mod was last updated in 2022 so I doubt it will be updated anytime soon for 42, can someone try to update it?

@John Dulanius Yeah. I hope that it either gets updated, or ported by someone. However, I found another possible alternative. Still not quite this one's style, but it might be good enough until this one returns: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3399645148&searchtext=symb

The alternative is not as good, this mod had the perfect look for hand-drawn symbols.

Here is an alternative for B42: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3020323164

b42 upd pls

build 42

@ThelianTech I'm gonna go ahead and say no. It's overkill, I don't need 10 rifle symbols, one general gun symbol does the job.

I really hope someone comes along to port this one to B42. It's simple and provides every symbol you need to generally describe things.

I hope someone takes up the mantle. This is a disappointing one to lose going forward. Default symbol set is incredibly limiting.

Guys, this mod hasnt been touched in 3 years. I dont think its getting updated

@matteokmp i dont believe so. i'm hoping that the maintainer of this mod will update it soon.

Is this mod compatible with B42?

What's the mod for the new notes font that's in the screenshot?

well i dunno what happened but some other mod updated and caused this mod to fail (b41) and now my save is borked. Again, not this mod's fault, something else updated to break it. probably the symbol size slider mod.

FML steam never should have designed the workshop this way. back in the day there was an option to prevent updates, but that's been gone for years now. As a result, long-play zomboid games are nearly impossible because some mod will break an ongoing save and there's nothing you can do about it.

i am so angry right now

Hoping for a B42 compatibility update 🙏

Thanks so much for these, I used them soooo much in B41

I need this for build 42, how is this not vanilla

hey folks! i was wondering if you had plans to update this mod for build 42 any time soon. looking forward to playing with this mod again soon.

This mod causes black squares to appear on the map on the first load of a singleplayer or multiplayer save. Once you quit to the main menu and come back, it should be resolved.

Since I don't want to do it every time, I will try to put this mod in the last position in the mod list and see how it goes.

Thank You. Very Good. Sucess!!!

I THINK I've found a workaround: in Mod Load Order, put Extra Map Symbols UI in second last position and Extra Map Symbols UI in LAST position.

I've done this a couple days ago and haven't seen black squares since...

I think this makes some vanilla symbols turn into black squares next time I load up my save. I'm also using symbol size slider and the draw on the map mods.
It wasn't happening with just those two.

I believed in you. I believed in your work. I believed you would continue adding more icons and expanding this mod to make it the best there is.
What happened?
It ended up where the UI mod makes the symbols turn into squares unless you relog into the game a second time.
There's more symbols that could of been implemented.
I wish someone would continue this.

No way, it's been a long time since we last updated

Guys, I have just faced a problem with mini map. There are no symbols on my mini map. How can I fix such issue?

Never use the variants, sometimes they never load when u join ur game.

The variants randomly disappear from the list and already added ones turn into boxes, it's very strange.

To solve the black boxes after loading the game, simply quit to main menu and load the save again. Basically, the mod tells us that the game doesn't load correctly the first time.

is it just me or does this mod "corrupt" the mod 'adjust map size icon slider'? cuz i cant use the slider

I am getting the checkerboards now as well, and no matter how many times I unsubscribe and resubscribe, the mod no longer shows up in my mod list under either enabled or disabled.

This mod is great and works perfectly. I wish there was an ability to change the icon sizes, but in a way it's good because I don't go overboard with it. To avoid any "checkered" icons appearing when continuing, I make sure that the mods are enabled in the start menu. Sometimes the game automatically disables one of the two mods associated in the list.

this mod is cool as ♥♥♥♥. just wish it worked for me as intended. i also get the checkerd squares for your symbols upon reloading a game

Is that possible to make the crayon colors as stand alone plugin or merge with the main plugin?

Because your "Extra Map Symbols UI" is buggy.. it randomly ♥♥♥♥ up all the symbols while loading game

On continuing, it fails to load the symbols and only shows checkerboard squares.

it causes black squares (sometimes)

id like to double up on what @JustPurdy said below. the scaling +- button doesnt seem to be doing anything

May I use this in my modpack?
