More Realistic Map Mode [B128/129]

Description
This mod makes two changes in map mode: (1) removes the caption boxes that identify and track ships and; and (2) significantly decreases the "spy satellite" view.

With this mod, if your crew sees smoke in the distance or hears propellers on the hydrophone, you can get a general idea of the location by clicking the plot intercourse button (last two photos above) without caption boxes constantly showing where those ships are. And the map no longer has a "spy satellite" view - unless you zoom in substantially (that way you can still use map mode to see the coastline and plot your course in and out of port).

Save-game compatible. Compatible with B128 and B129. Should be compatible with U-boat Expanded, Living U-boat, and all other mods that do not modify the map mode. Unfortunately, not compatible with Map2D.

For added realism, I recommend using this mod with link's Remove Ship Icons mod.

The goal of the "More Realistic" mod series is to add more realism and difficulty to the game. If you like this mod, feel free to try these others:

More Realistic Decorations
More Realistic Guns
More Realistic Torpedoes
No More Heart Attacks

Hi, how do you add captions when the ship is detected, with the new update you can no longer see it, you see a blue halo, can you tell me how to modify the file inside the folder?

If you created the mod to remove can you tell me how to add captions? I thank you.

Remove Ship Icon mod... it says for v128 and 129... are you still recommending it for this (131) version?

This mod only edit the data of 2 lines of /MAP in Settings section.

I just check it and those 2 lines is the same with the current data. So this mod should works with all update unless the game change those 2 lines to something else.

So if this mod doesn't works, then it's a problem with Unity modding (Model, UI, etc.), and I doubt the author will fixing it due to Unity modding is more complex than xlsx modding.

NOT compatible with the current version. Reads "outdated" in Mods menu. I did run it in spite of the warnings, just to see if the grid lines had been re-implemented, and unfortunately, they haven't.
