About this mod

An edited version of mapmarkerart.swf from SkyUI 5.2 than only adds color to the quest, player location, and discovered capital map markers

Permissions and credits
Skyrim SE update:
As this file is only an edited SkyUI mapmarkerart.swf file, it works equally well with SkyUI 5.1 for LE and SkyUI 5.2 for SE. This mod will be compatible with anything that works with the SkyUI map, as long as it doesn't replace the same file. The original LE mod is located here, but while the archive names are different, the contents are exactly the same. The old v1.0 is now called Option 2, and the old v1.1 is now the main file.

Why:
I wanted a way to make quest markers stand out on the map, but could only find mods that colored all the markers, which I didn't personally care for. After not finding what I was looking for I decided to figure out how to do it myself, and am sharing at the request of posters on reddit.

Description - Main File:
This is simply an edited mapmarkerart.swf that has the following changes:
- quest and player position markers are colored aqua (R:0, B:255, G:255)
- discovered five major capital markers are pale yellow (R:240, B:240, G:100)
- discovered four smaller capital markers are paler yellow (R:240, B:240, G:150)
- discovered generic town markers are even paler yellow (R:240, B:240, G:200)

Description - Option 2: 
Makes the following changes to the main file:
- discovered four smaller capital markers are slightly paler yellow (R:240, B:240, G:200)
- discovered generic town markers are not colored at all

Description - Option 3: (provided by waylander47)
Makes the following changes to the main file:
- the aqua markers (quest, player position) are replaced with light blue markers

There are images for both options, so you can decide which you prefer before downloading.  Keep in mind when viewing the images that I have several town-adding mods, so you most likely won't have as many of the generic town markers as I do in my images. Update: Since the others had a lot of extra locations, I added two new images comparing the options using only vanilla locations.

Note that using either of the download buttons up top will download the main file. If you wish to download Option 2 or 3 instead, please go into the Files tab.

Requirements:
You must have SkyUI 5.2SE for this to work. Let this mod overwrite it.

Thanks:
- Bethesda, for several games that I've spent way too much time playing and modding
- SKSE team, for both the amazing original, and for taking the significant time and effort to port it to SE
- SkyUI team, for a great mod that I couldn't play SE for more than a few hours without
- waylander47, for sharing his personal edit
