Nomap printer

Nomap Printer

In nomap mode reading the Cartography Table will generate a simplified map and save it to player save file to be shown by pressing usual map key.

This mod was designed to enhance nomap playthroughs for players to look at their current exploration progress without the spoiler of live updates.

This mod could be handy if you want some map reference for your travels but don't want to draw map yourself in paint or w/e.

If you don't want this generated map and have your own file you can set its name in "Load map from file" and it will be shared to all clients from the server.

File can be set as full qualified name or just file name without path. Latter one should be placed near dll file in any subdirectory.

Main features:

• []generates static map originally based on algorithms of MapPrinter mod by ASpy (all credits to him)[/]

  []shows that map at ingame window, only in nomap mode (map updates only on table interaction)[/]

  []map is saved between session at savefile[/]

  []option to save generated map to file[/]

  []map generated in 4096x4096 resolution with option to generate 8192x8192 (better visuals, more size on savefile)[/]

  []4 different styles of map with topographical lines[/]

  []configurable pins on map[/]

  []pins config is server synced[/]

  []gamepad support[/]

  Pins default config

  • []pins only shows in explored part of the map[/]

    []Haldor and Hildir pins are always shown (especially handy for Hildir's quest pins)[/]

    []only show your own pins (no shared pins)[/]

    []pins that checked (red crossed) are not shown[/]

    []Bed and death pins are not shown[/]

    Map can be

    • []opened by Map bind key (default M)[/]

      []closed by the same key or Escape[/]

      []dragged by left mouse click and drag[/]

      []zoomed by mouse wheel[/]

      []set to default zoom by right mouse click[/]

      []centered at spawn point by middle mouse click[/]

      Custom map layers

      You can use your own variants of

      • []explored map layer[/]

        []fog texture[/]

        []under fog layer (for custom markings)[/]

        []over fog layer (for custom markings)[/]

        That layers should be placed into \BepInEx\config\shudnal. NomapPrinter directory as PNG files and named accordingly:

        • []"{MapType}.{WorldName}.explored.png" for explored map, nontransparent, resolution must be 4096x4096[/]

          []"{MapType}.{WorldName}.underfog.png" for under fog layer, transparent with only needed markings, resolution must be 4096x4096[/]

          []"{MapType}.{WorldName}.overfog.png" for over fog layer, transparent with only needed markings, resolution must be 4096x4096[/]

          []"{MapType}.{WorldName}.fog.png" for fog texture, nontransparent, any resolution, the pattern will be repeated[/]

          If you have several worlds with similar name then instead on world name you can use numerical world ID. To get world ID without using any other mod you can generate map using that mod and check \BepInEx\cache\shudnal. NomapPrinter directory. There will be folders named as world ID. One of them will be your world.

          Acceptable map types:

          • []BirdsEye[/]

            []Topographical[/]

            []Chart[/]

            []OldChart[/]

            File repacking

            You can use ingame console command

            repackpng to make png file nonhumanreadable to prevent clients from opening explored map or markings.

            That command works for png files located in \BepInEx\config\shudnal. NomapPrinter. You can cycle through files available in the folder by pressing TAB.

            The command will create the file with extension *.zpack which you can use instead of any custom layer or fog png file.

            File synchronization from server

            Layers files can be synchronized from server to all clients if placed into \BepInEx\config\shudnal. NomapPrinter directory on the server. That directory will be created automatically on the server.

            The total volume of one world files should not exceed ~7-8 MB otherwise it is better to place some files into shared config folder and exchange it via modpacks or manually placing it into clients' config folder.

            By default only underfog, overfog and fog textures will automatically be shared from server to clients on file change as they most likely have rather small size.

            Custom layers could be either loaded from server or loaded from local config folder. If you have "share from server" option enabled for some laye
