Hey, I'm hoping to create a mod that either allows a player to create custom map markers, or change the color of a city's pixel on the map (to basically act as a custom marker) I was hoping you might be able to give a newbie modder some pointers?
The blinking regional indicator is still the base game's for me. Is there any load order modification or extra files needed? I don't see any textures for it in the mod folder.
Could you collaborate with HD Textures Climate Travel Map's Author for an hybrid version, to have the better of both maps? Or I may work on it myself if you give me the permission. I just made a quick test to see what it would look like and I really love it!
I hope you don't mind that I made a test without your permission, it was just a POC on only one file and I purposely truncated it so no one could reuse it. ^^' I think it looks great, what do you think ? Transparency 40% for the second layer, excluded the emblem from the fusion so it remains unchanged. One can probably make better, I did that in about ten minutes. Other types of fusion masks may look better. Also maybe add a legend for colors.
Same message was left to HD Textures Climate Travel Map.
Like I said, the enhanced maps are just map replacement images, so it can hardly conflict with anything else than other map replacement images. Long story short: yes.
I picked a font that kinda matched the font on the other paper maps for the other games. I haven't done the regional maps yet. That will take some time. Right now its just world map, but in time I'll finish all the "zoom in" maps.

Edit: I got the permission from IvanKuzyk and KingOfWormsDFU. All I need now is yours :)
Let's go then, thank you for your permission :)
