I have had a problem with this NMM file today so I have uploaded a 7z file version.
Can't say that I'm overly pleased with nexusmods.

Drath Samid's Hand Painted Map of Cyrodiil
Version 1.1
By Drath Samid

Version 1.1 and new versions!

This mod was not working well at low resolutions, that is now fixed and I apologise to anyone who downloaded this and tried to play it in a lower resolution, I have also changed Elsweyr to try and make it look a bit more like a desert.

In form of apology for making a broken mod I have made six versions of the map to choose from:

Hand Painted Map of Cyrodiil 1.1 – Original colour version.

Hand Painted Map of Cyrodiil (No Grid) 1.1 - Original colour version with grid removed.

Hand Inked Map of Cyrodiil 1.0 – An old-style ink only version a bit more like the vanilla map.

Hand Inked Map of Cyrodiil (No Grid) 1.0 - An old-style ink only version with the grid removed.

Hand Inked Map of Cyrodiil (Dark) 1.0 – A white ink on dark paper version for dark UI's.

Hand Inked Map of Cyrodiil (Dark, No Grid) 1.0 – The dark version with the grid removed.


Now placed in OMOD's for ease of use and compatability, tested and working at 640x480, 800x600, 1600x1200 resolutions.


Description:
I hand drew/painted this map because I love Oblivion, I have just gotten interested in mods and modding and found out I can just save this map as a .dds then drop it in the appropriate Oblivion sub folder to use it as the in game world map. I made this Mod so anyone can try it out, I took allot of time making the map for my own pleasure, I used the terrain map out of the TES Construction Set as a reference. The map is highly detailed with even the the smallest of rocks etc., most of the houses in towns are visible as are the Imp City districts. I Colour coded the roads as they are named (E.g. the red road is red) and marked out the footpaths including the Frost-crag Spire road, I also added a Grid (1-10, A-J) so now it is easy to find world places that aren’t marked and reference global co-ordinates (E.g. Bravil is Bottom, left sector of vector G6).


You can view and download the full versions of my maps if you wish to print them out from: "http://samofsuthsax.deviantart.com/" The versions on deviant-art have all place names and icons added from vanilla Oblivion.

For fans of Skyrim I have made another map (but wont be making a mod as the 3d map works just fine), you can find it on deviantart.com at the link below.
