Requires G_Work_Around v0. 31

-------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION:

To install this mod, unpack the provided rar file and place the EHM2_NonTransparentHolomap folder into the extensions folder of the root X4 Foundations game installation folder. If the extensions folder does not exist, create it in the main root folder of X4 foundations (the folder containing X4.exe).

If you have already donwloaded the G_Work_Around UI API v0. 31, it is not required to install this API again.

If you did not download this API, please download the UI API here:  https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=411630 (this mod

utilizes v0. 31). Both the UI API mod and the non-transparent holomap mods should be listed in the in-game menu under extensions and can be

turned on or off in this menu.

Both G_Work_Around and EHM2_NonTransparentHolomap folders are required for this mod to work and both should be activated in-game!

-------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION:

This mod for X4 foundations changes the alpha of the holomap background to 100%, making the holomap non-transparent.

This change is applied by patching into the existing menu_map.lua file using a lua script supported by the current G_Work_Around v0. 31 UI api by Morbideth (https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=411630).

This UI API is currently required to allow independent lua scripts not within the Egosoft (core)addon environment to use global lua functions. As a result, this mod requires the G_Work_Around API. This lua-based mod might not be entirely compatible with other lua-based UI mods that alter the menu_map.lua script. In addition, as it currently utilizes the G_Work_Around UI API, which is still in beta and might become redundant in later patches by Egosoft, it is possible this mod will become obsolete or dysfunctional.

If you are using any additional lua-based extensions, please double check whether the mod is compatible with these lua-based extensions.
