What is Big Map?
Big Map is part of Death Wish Ultimate, a mod that greatly enhances the Death Wish experience for those downloading many modded Death Wishes. If you're a modder and wanna break free of the cluster that is the basegame map, this guide is for you!

Make sure to have Big Map downloaded first: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2905138291

And here's a reference to all DWs with their map locations on Big Map, save for a few that I left out:
How to create a Big Map location
In order to use different locations for Big Map, while still having performance remain fine and not touching anything in basegame/people who don't own Death Wish Ultimate, we utilize an open part of an existing function to return a string value representing our Big Map coordinates.

To start, make sure to have the Placement Mode configuration on for Death Wish Ultimate, which will allow you to grab the accurate coordinates for either map size.

After you've opened the grid map, press Enter (or Y on most controllers) to enter Pin Mode, and click wherever you want your Death Wish on the map to be. Keep in mind you can zoom in and out to help place it more accurately.

After that, the numbers above the green DW stamp will give you your value to use as your Big Map coordinates!

In order to tell Big Map to use them, we use the GetObjectiveBitID function, as it can be used in a way to return a string value without messing with any of its other uses. Simply paste it as it below:

static function string GetObjectiveBitID(optional int ObjectiveIndex = INDEX_NONE) { if (ObjectiveIndex >= 999) return "1.00,1.00"; //String variable read as "BigMapXCoord,BigMapYCoord" return Super.GetObjectiveBitID(ObjectiveIndex); }

Then, insert your Big Map coordinates into the "1.00,1.00" string, with the X value being first, and Y second. Leave NO space in between the comma and Y coordinate.

After that, it should work once the mod for your Death Wish is compiled and cooked!
