📋 About This Mod

Version 2 of my Elven Map mod (v1. 0 went by the name \"Elven Cartographers\"). This mod changes the default brown map to a full colour map with a slightly \"elven\" feel to it, accurately detailing all the changes in landscape type across the whole of Cyrodiil. Also included are new full colour 3-D map icons (including a better door icon for the local map), as well as a more detailed \"You Are Here\" arrow marker and quest markers. Changes since v1. 0 : + Map has been completely re-coloured and reworked. All colours are now more vivid and accurate. + Elven texture toned down in some areas (and enhanced in others) to give more variation. + Map names are now less distorted and are easier to read. + Mapped out the proper transition regions between different land types. Map now accurately reflects the true extent of the mountain ranges, grass lands, golden plains and so on. + New 3-D coloured map icons; more varied and less obtrusive than the originals. Unique colours for each icon make for easier navigation. + Used different .dds format to avoid blurring and loss of colour fidelity due to in-game resizing (the files are now a bit larger but I felt the quality gain was worth the size trade-off). ***NOTE You can discuss this mod here: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=25&t=542817
