[size=15]What does this mod do?[/size]

This mod replaces the Solstheim World Map texture with a 16k quality new one.
Skyrim textures here

Solstheim 8k, darkened World Map texture
now available as an optional file, thanks to xrayy!


[size=8]Introduction:[/size]
I found an epic satellite Solstheim map here
and felt like adding it to the game.


The result is now a map where you can even see the crops at farms!


[size=8]Compatibility:[/size]
My mod has no .esp and is only 1 texture file,
so it can be installed during your playthrough and uninstalled savely at any time.

But you may need to put
[MapMenu]
uLockedTerrainLOD=32

into your Skyrim.ini for maximum Quality.

Fully functional in Skyrim Special Edition!
Fully compatible with Satellite World Map.
Fully compatible with Atlas Map Markers and all other map marker mods,
Fully compatible with Simple Colored Map Markers for Skyui 5.1 and all other colored map marker mods.
Fully compatible with EzEs -Remove 3D Map Camera Limits and other .ini edits.
Fully compatible with Dynamic snow For Map.
It is also fully compatible with High Quality 3D Map,
only thing you must do, is load my texture after it. (It will overwrite Ethatron´s texture)
Same goes for A Quality World Map, overwrite it´s texture.

My screenshots are with all the above mods enabled,
but you don´t need them for this mod to work.



[size=8]Technical stuff:[/size]
Now... I can´t make a fancy SKSE plugin that imports the map automatically.
But I can put medium work into making the map available oldschool.
So I zoomed down all the way, then took around 35 screenshots while scrolling through the entire map,
Combined the screenshots into one big picture (17920x14336),
Then cut off the unnecessary parts.
and then added some more size (totalling 16384x16384), so it matches the upscaled size of the vanilla map. (which is only 256x256)
so my map is 64x the resolution!!



[size=8]Optional Skyrim.ini edits:[/size]
You can further change the looks of the map by playing with the Skyrim.ini.
Here are the settings I am using:

fMapWorldMinHeight=50.0000
