More readable map v2

[taro8 806]

Here's a little mod I cooked up. It started as a mod to increase the grid numbers around the edges of the map as I could barely read them. Then I figured out how to get rid of the satellite overlay. Then I decided to roll in the changes done by the BHC map contour mod.

Features:
* permanently removed satellite overlay from all the map screens I was able to find (map, UAV terminal, artillery computer, camera, 3den), some of with was forced, meaning you could not disable the overlay

* incorporated BHC map contour changes to improve readability

* increased font size for height numbers as well as grid numbers around the edges

 

Known issues:
* for some reason I could not remove satellite overlay for the spectator mode

* I would love to find a way to increase the font size for the full grid number and the ASL data shown next to the cursor on the map (401019, 35m)

I recently did some custom edits to their map module and those are in there.

Look in ace_map.pbo
Look in the root at file - XEH_postInitClient.sqf

This looks awesome.

Any chance that you could upload it to Steam?

Thanks for doing this!  It's great to have a clean, readable map in Zeus.

Confirmed, bhc_map_contour doesn't work since Tanks DLC. I was so used to it the map looks completely broken without it.

For reference, here's how to fix it:
The mod depends on A3_UI_F in its requiredAddons config, changing that to A3_UI_F_Tank fixes the problem.

 

EDIT: Fixed spelling of the A3_UI_F_Tank dependenciy

I tried it with bhc_map_contour and it worked fine. 

 

ARGH, I made a typo, the real name should be A3_UI_F_Tank (no 's' at the end)

@taro8 Does the ALiVE commit need updating? I actually don’t see anything wrong with it, but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask.

[taro8 806]

@HeroesandvillainsOS No, it was just bis changing stuff with tanks that made my required addons cfgpatches to not function, basically my changes didn't overwrite the vanilla map. The ALIVE map bit I made is your custom stuff so it should work. I just played ALIVE a few minutes ago and the player support map seem to work fine.

Thank you for your comment, I don't know how to do this though. Can you please explain it to me?

Every addon has a requiredAddons config entry in their CfgPatches. The dependency on A3_UI_F needs to be changed to A3_UI_F_Tank.
