I like the map system in this game. it stands to reason most Vault 76 residents wouldn't be from Appalachia and they would be given a map of the area before entering the vault, and the map is just like a tourist map for a region...
Initially I loved the map. The icons are all well made. The reason I made this map was after playing with my friends whom would bee-line for the nearest icon on the map, one after another. We weren't exploring a world, we were just playing connect the dots.
Me: Can you please do the same for ZapWizard's spoiler free map? Ultimist: Maybe. You'd have to contact him and ask him if he'd be interested. I won't do it without his permission.
@ZapWizard, please hit up Ultimist about doing a spoiler free high def map, or could you do one similar? or... is this already higher def than ingame map?
The original game map texture is a 4K resolution image. I have a 8K original file (taken from reddit, before my edits), but the extra detail isn't really there, only a wash of print texture on top.
If @Ultimist wants to make a high-res version of my map, I wouldn't mind, but I suggest hosting the image on this same mod page to prevent duplicate mods.
I installed the .ba2 as described (via "sResourceIndexFileList =") but it wasn't working. Instead my game was going all purple, looked like as if my graphics card went buuh. Then i added it to "sResourceArchive2List =" and now it's working as intended. Just in case someone else is running into the same problem.
I now have a working ba2 version. The issue I was having was that the file needed to be referenced in "sResourceIndexFileList = " and not in the Archivelist line.
Love this map! Keeps the look of the original map but without all the semi-spoilery locations. I was also able to use the Baka Tool to install this mod easily, so it does work.

Nice mod, makes exploration really fun. Endorsed.
The Baka File method does not work sadly but that's okay!
