2 is when zooming in/out it'll flash the rivers/roads from the map mode briefly between zoom 'ticks' (as in individual rotations of the mousewheel) then go back to normal. Specifically, when zooming out, there's the tick where you no longer see Fog of War (as in all the map is lit up the same, as opposed to areas where you don't have vision being dark), next tick out it will flash rivers, next tick out it'll flash roads, next tick out is when you can no longer see the circles for buildings that are being constructed in locations. On zooming in is the same in reverse, so get to the tick where building queues show up, next tick in roads will flash, next tick in rivers will flash, next tick in areas without vision are again darkened by fog of war. This is with Vulkan and 3d terrain turned off, changing the flat map mode setting does NOT seem to affect it at all. I also have not messed with the mod at all

Hey, Love this mod! Big thank you. 2 specific bugs I've had:

1 is the same issue with the market map mode as Lightmgl. When clicking on a market, instead of the trade range map mode showing up, it'll show this weird blank map mode and be kind of bricked, like to see markets again you have to click on the map which will deselect the market and then it goes back to normal market map mode.

What does colors mean?

Something with the Trade Range mapmode gets messed up in 1.10, it goes all wonky when you click on a Market and would normally go to that Mapmode.

Best mod out there!

Paradox needs to hire good ppl like this, for their own good.

Thank you for the heads up

I will try to check out the 1.0.10 beta before it goes live

Actually, I'm not sure it's your bug. It looks like 1.0.10 might not be drawing roads correctly.

Might need an update for 1.0.10; the road maps aren't showing consistently.

1.0.10 not working

Turning this mod on with no other mods deletes the trade range map mode which was recently added

Your mod just became obligatory now 1.0.10 removed the rivers mapmode

hey man, appreciate your work. very useful mod. thank you

Tested a bit, and found that Waterways Distance Rework is incompatible with this mod atm. Just FYI if someone else couldn't figure out why this mod won't work.

Roads disappearing seems to be a bug with the base game, not this mod. I disabled everything and some parts of the world the road is just borked

@Viginti Septum No, this mod only tells the shaders what color to draw the pixels of the roads, there is no interaction with any actual game mechanics. Is it possible they were destroyed by a parliament favor, or building a town? Both of which I have been guilty of doing myself.

hey, not 100% on this but ive looked around and dont see any one reporting this issue. After i installed this mod, my 2 bailiffs i had had disappeared. Is this something that this mod could have done, like i said... im running out of ideas as to what caused this.

ps. i took the mod out to see if they would come back, they did not.

@rubish 1 I'm sorry, I have no idea why it wouldn't be working, can you check "steamapps\workshop\content\3450310\3605677866\" just to make sure Steam actually downloaded all of the files? It's the only thing I can think of at this point.

it's buggy on the trade map mode when i click on a market the road maps show up and the market names disappear and i cannot click on other markets

yeah idk the roads just really dont want to show up for me. I have flat map on and stuff but the little roads dont appear and its so sad

ill try it again latter and double check the playlist

@beegee84 & @rubish 1 Strange, everything works on my end with both Glorp UI and Darker Borders mods. Have you tried unsubscribing and resubscribing to see if steam downloaded it properly? I would also recommend double checking the mod playlist in game, I had an issue twice now where after enabling a Playlist and restarting the game, it defaulted to having no mods enabled and I didn't notice until I loaded the save and nothing was working.

@Gregorovich My mod is purely visual, only telling the shaders how big and what color to draw the road pixels when certain map mode parameters are met. It doesn't touch anything mechanical, and Glorp UI doesn't touch anything related to roads at all. If these are the only two mods you have enabled, my best guess is it's either a vanilla bug, or a corrupted file that hopefully validating files could fix.

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful, I just went through and rechecked all of my files and even checked through Glorp UI and I could find nothing that would interfere with the upgrade roads button.

tried thiswith flat map mode and it doesnt work at all. this is only mod ive tried since i bought the game so defo no other mods interfering

honestlyi cant see any of the roads :( it just has the vanilla look still im really not sure what the issue could be since im on flat map mode permanently. I only have the mod that adds darker province borders would that affect it?

I'm using this mod with Glorp and have come across an issue I presume is caused by one or the other. The 'upgrade roads' button doesn't actually queue any roads, it just takes your money and does nothing else. So I just emptied my entire treasury into the sea.

@ewobmrk I play with Glorp UI and it works fine, shouldn't cause any issues at all, but if you notice any, please let me know.

@Marunath I'm not entirely sure if I'm understanding correctly, but I think you're asking if it's possible to show an indicator where road connections are possible, but not yet built. If that is correct, then unfortunately no, I don't think it is possible, at least not by me and very likely not without changing the checksum and blocking achievements. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

can i play with this while having glorp ui or its gona casu a problem

i know its already perfect but is it possible making some chances on the map road intersection i want to every possible road extensions for every location is that possible?

This mod is essential and should be ported to the base game.

Awesome mod

You the man brother

This should have been part of vanilla game. Great mod

they always deliver bare bones game and the DLC the crap out of it, even though they had all the nice features in EU4

Its baffling they did not copy the Imperator Rome roads/trade map mode. Genuinely the prettiest Paradox map ever

Before I spent hours staring at the screen with my nose 5 cm in front of it, instantly zooming in and out, but still a lot of connections I missed. This mod is simply GENIAL, saved me a lot of time and pain. Thank you! PS: What about give some UI lessons to the Paradox dev team? They probably need it when they released the game with the roads so invisible.

All the colored roads flash in for a second while you zoom in to the map when the map mode is disabled

Absolutely goated mod, should be a part of the game in the first place. Multi-directional road building was driving me mad with no possibility to see if the province is actually connected or the roads just go around it.

@KeepitrealeZ I've actually been going back and forth on that, sometimes I find it annoying when they disappear early, but other times I appreciate it because it gives an unobscured view of the road network. I haven't ruled it out yet, but I want to spend more time in game with it as it is now first.

Hi, thank you so much! Seeing the river directions is exactly what I was looking for. One suggestion: could you make it so the rivers don't disappear if you scroll too far? It would be great to even have a map just showing the rivers and their directions (I don't know why Paradox hasn't included the ability to see river directions yet).

This mod is absolutely a revelation and showed me all kinds of places around my empire where two provinces I thought were connected were in fact disconnected! Thank you!

Is there any way to make the road builder show you a preview of what the control would be if you built the given road?

Hey i have a request. Can you make a mod that makes building roads easier?

Clicking every location you own to check if roads are build is a pain when you own over 1000 later on in the game. and you have to do this every time you get a road type upgrade its such a pain.

@skalen k 3000 godu Yes, just double checked, enabling Ironman with default game settings says Achievements Enabled. If you're having issues getting it to work, make sure to check that all the rules are compatible as well

If anyone is having trouble getting the colored roads and rivers to show up make sure in Settings -> Map -> Flat Map Mode is set to anything besides Never

Is it really compatible with ironman?

Goated

@legionaer20 The rivers should be displaying a "flowing" color gradient in the direction of the river flow. I just booted up the game to make sure, and it's working on my end. Is anyone else having a problem with it?

is there any way to see flow direction of rivers?

I need to correct you. The mod name is "much much better road builder and awesome rivers". Thanks for this.
