Could you please explain how to install them? I tried, but I can't get it to work. I don't have a .json Maps and Compass config file, just a lua file, and no matter how I add these maps into the config file, they won't pop up in the ingame mod menu. Please help, I really enjoy these maps!
It's a shame Map And Compass doesn't automatically recognise map packs in its folder. But, it does work.
Hope you like them when you get to use them. Disabling all other maps and just using these is good fun, I think. Especially right now when we're getting to explore a whole new territory in TR..
Thanks for the quick reply! I do not have this config json file named "maps and compass.json". I only have a config.lua under /MWSE/mods/map and compass. This file does contain these quotes with the map packs, but they won't show up in game. I am experienced with C++ modding but have no clue of this stuff here and never modded TES in general. Hope we can figure this out, i WANT these so badly.
The config json file should (I believe) be created when you first run the game with the mod installed. But if it's not there, open Morrowind and change some settings in Map and Compass from default and then close and see if it has been created. If not, you have a problem of some kind!
Worst case scenario, assuming Map and Compass is actually working for you, you could add my map pack to the default config.lua file. I believe that should work too.
Assuming Map and Compass is working at all for you. It sounds like something might be a bit screwy..
The mod itself works fine, but this json config file is not being created, no matter what I do ingame. Adding the maps in the config.lua file seems to be ignored by the game, nothing happens.
I got it! I had the issue that there was a masterfile in my mod manager which was activated. This seems to have overridden the config. In the mod description it explicitly says that no esp or masterfile is needed. So I would always install Map and Compass manually as stated in the description.
I'm sorry, I know I must just be confused, but I don't see Cyrodiil in the list of maps. I see Skyrim as well as a ton of Morrowind-related stuff, but nothing for where I am. Am I misunderstanding how this mod works, don't I just enable the maps I want for this in the MCM for Map and Compass?
I've just checked what's actually in the download, and as long as you've followed the installation instructions in Map and Compass, it works fine. Four new maps, as follows:
local mapsVaelta = { mapMorrowindProv = { name = "Morrowind Province", path = "MWSE/mods/Map and Compass/mapsVaelta/morrowindmapvaelta.tga", width = 4096, height = 4096 },
mapSkyrimProv = { name = "Skyrim Province", path = "MWSE/mods/Map and Compass/mapsVaelta/skyrimmap_vaelta.tga", width = 4096, height = 2048 },
mapCyrodiilProv = { name = "Cyrodiil Province", path = "MWSE/mods/Map and Compass/mapsVaelta/cyrodiilmap_vaelta.tga", width = 4096, height = 2048 },
Yep, I just couldn't read. To be slightly fair to myself, and this isn't your fault, the Map and Compass page could seriously use better formatting. I had to scan the page up and down quite a bit before I found the part I should have noticed. Doesn't excuse not reading your own instructions here though.
It's a shame that Map and Compass doesn't just automatically pick up new maps, but nevertheless, it's a great mod. I have all in-game maps turned off except my maps, and I use this: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/51126

And you need to add the map pack as follows:
"mapPacks":["mapsWagner","mapsVaelta","mapsMapmaker"],

Very immersive.
