[REQ] Navigation Map Make-Over

TheBeast · 04-13-10, 06:02 AM

I find the current NAV Map to be severely lacking in detail and would love to see a NAV Map Make-Over like the one Nbjackso did for SH4.

This is from SH4 and it looks 100 times better then the default MAP's that come in SH5.
Why can't we have progress when upgrading?

Looks great. Did that map have any problems?? i.e. running aground where there was no ground etc

None that I have encounterd as yet.

I did notice you do not want to enable that MOD during patrol as it will change some ojective from Complete to Incomplete.

I want to see far far more depth detail on Nav Map then is currently shown.

When you say detail, do you mean the mountain ranges and stuff on that map? Because, as a sub commander, I've never once looked at the land on a map seeing as I can't go there heh.

As a sub commander, you should really be looking at a chart, not a map

.

The map gradients don't seem to work the same as in SH4, as my chart SH4 mods work-ish, but weirdly. The land gradients are different, I guess because of the enemy/neutral/friendly status they now show.

The gradient map works the same way as in SH4, but for SH5 in addition, each country has still overlays (..\data\Terrain\LocationMaps) rendered and those provided with a texture color(..\data\Terrain\LocationMaps\ShapeTextures) . The map pixelshader interpolates now the gradient colors and the shape colors based on the provided height-map (..\data\Terrain\Maps\Map1)
