📋 About This Mod
Icons, for local map.
The vanilla game has exactly one icon for everything, when using the local map. This makes navigating and finding stuff on the map rather difficult and tedious. This mod allows mod authors to define custom icons for desired locations to display on the local map.
An example file is provided to showcase the mod's capability: you can use any of the vanilla icons (like for the Temple of Kynareth, and Dragonsreach), using custom icons (for Arcadia's Cauldron, and The Bannered Mare inn), and lastly using images (Belethor's shop).
