I've tested your mod in Toussaint and it is quite nice! I have just one BIG problem. Why, on entering map mode, game always starts in the middle? IMO it should present player's position without marker, so - I am in Beauclaire, then I see this city on map, not some plain lands. That way I wouldn't have to non-stop scroll to see current position.
Yes, the map reset is a thing. I'll put it on the feature suggestion list and work on it. When there is an option menu I'll implement track position options.
However, I want to let the map track player position be optional since it will also allow for indirect orientation (player position is always on center). I'd be more a fan of save last map position option. Current plan is to add options for immersion levels: Geralt GPS Arrow -- Geralt GPS Dot -- Tracked Map Position without Dot -- Saved Map Position -- Map Reset on open
I'm not wielkicien, but it works perfectly for me in Toussaint. It also merged nicely with the mods "All Quest Objectives On Map" and "Main Map Zoom (updated)", with script merger. Thanks again for a great mod!
I love the idea but it seems that the map always loads up on your location which defeats the purpose - you know exactly where you are, even as the visual pin is missing.
If you have FriendlyHUD however (or perhaps another mod that uses mapMenu.ws) the merge with Script Merger might break it.
For me, I had the error: 'expecting TOKEN_FUNCTION near { bla bla' error when starting the game.
I noticed that when merging the program <NO SCR>'ed a line just before the second { in the script (for me on line 36). I had to manual replace this line into the file.
So... In the following file: mod0000_MergedFiles\content\scripts\game\gui\menus\mapMenu.ws insert the following line just before the second '{' in the script: event /*flash*/ OnConfigUI()
That fixed it for me. Also, perhaps a new merge overwrites this change so you might have to do it again.
tried it, but now it gives me this message on launch :c : Error [mod0000_mergedfiles]game\gui\menus\mapmenu.ws(50): I dont know any 'disabledPinsCache' Error [mod0000_mergedfiles]game\gui\menus\mapmenu.ws(965): I dont know any 'disabledPinsCache' Error [mod0000_mergedfiles]game\gui\menus\mapmenu.ws(973): I dont know any 'disabledPinsCache'
When using modMapQuestObjectives, replace the mapMenu.ws in modMapQuestObjectives with the following file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g7aiyr1ohqjdw44/mapMenu.ws?dl=0
is this mod still working? it's been 4 years since the last update. I don't know if it is any incompatibility with Enhanced Edition or is this mod not working at all. pity, since there's no other mod that removes GPS around here
You still have the minimap in this mod, right? it should be removed by default, otherwise you'll always be able to follow that big silly yellow dot which is the quest marker

Also, " save last map position option" sounds immersive, looking forward to it. Keep the good work up!
wielkicien: As you mentioned you were playing Blood and Wine - may you do me a favor and test this mod on Toussaint?

So, putting this mod BELOW the NoQuestMarkers-mod in Mod list, AND replacing mapMenu.ws with this guy's file did it for me works perfectly!
Thanks again, his post should be stickied and highlighted!
Has anyone got an alternative way of choosing where the map opens each time?
