Unfortunately maps aren't loading in correctly for me. The rim of the map doesn't load in at all, just darkness. I hope that the author fixes this as I thought this was a great idea!

@shockwave while it hasn't been updated to include the new dlc6 maps, it will still work just fine
K'Braid  [author] 26 Mar, 2024 @ 10:31pm 
i did something that broke a few things, please stand by
Shockwave S08 25 Mar, 2024 @ 8:31pm 
Is this DLC6-ready?

Rarely, a vonBiome comprehensive terraforming will so drastically layer on top of the underlying topology that the topomap is misleading. IME, this is very infrequent and comes with various hovering terrain-on-terrain, buried towers, buried turrets, surface gaps etc. Feels more like a vonBiomes nastiness. In most cases where that vonBiomes mess happens, the topomap is still a valued addition and not misleading. In such cases, I'm just glad walking under the hills through a surface gap doesn't cause play-halting bugs; and not fun when a coyote exploration mission zone is under the vonBiome-added hill, ugh.

Yes yes, the city/town complexes are in black square flat regions in the topomap. Seems like sensible way to build a city circa the 3rd millennium.

Playing another 40h since my original comment in Jan, I still find this mod to be great addition, with no serious contraindications to using it with vonBiome stuff. Bias: I'm grateful for modders and not expecting perfection.

unsure if any issues remain or not

Are vonBiomes conflict bugs fixed now or is it work in progress?

Hey, I just came across this because I scan the "recently updated" list from time to time.

Wow, it's a great improvement! The maps make more sense now and look less like a bolt-on from an intern! Like now some proper maps that even the IS could have in their cockpits.

No problems with my ~decently mod'd MW5 and only light mod.json edit for load order (mainly didn't want vonB stepping on it).

Anyway, much appreciation K'Braid.

Appreciate you continuing to support the mod, K'Braid! :steamhappy:
K'Braid  [author] 16 Jan, 2024 @ 1:48pm 
and also soon to include the DLC 5 maps retopographed.
K'Braid  [author] 16 Jan, 2024 @ 5:49am 
after almost a year of the MW5 editor being nonfunctional with little desire to get it working again as i had dropped the game thus also dropped out of modding, i've finally decided to get it working again and attempt to solve the issue of that one singular broken chunk punching a hole in everyone's maps
K'Braid  [author] 17 Oct, 2023 @ 4:53pm 
there are some mods that gives the minimap an overlay like that, i think one of the Von mods can give you what you're looking for

This map update helps the game a TON, but...random request...is there any way to add a grid overlay? One of the most annoying aspects of co-op play is that when splitting up a lance to different tasks, there is no easy way to verbally communicate to other humans WHERE you want them to go! If the border of the map had a simple a-z / 1-26 grid (even if no grid and just the letters/numbers on the map visualization border)....OMG, that would make this orders of magnitude more useful in co-op...
Hengleford 22 Jun, 2023 @ 1:08pm 
Ah, no worries then. Thank you anyways!
K'Braid  [author] 22 Jun, 2023 @ 1:06pm 
i'm not sure where the colours of it are actually handled as the textures used and the outputted results are completely different. i only really understand the texture side of it.
Hengleford 22 Jun, 2023 @ 1:02pm 
Heyo @K'Braid, I was just wondering if there's any chance you could make an alternative version of this using the same blue colour scheme as this mod's thumbnail? I might not be the only one here struggling to see through the grey-ish colours :P

Many thanks! :steiner:

Hello, just wanted to point out that this awesome mod has a slight conflict with vonBiomes. Its causing some maps to spawn with giant chasms of death. I asked around and the alleged issue is "decided to integrate unfinished tiles from PGI in their mod". Could you kindly confirm is this is a fixable issue? Using these mods together is just TOO GOOD 🙏🏽
TheSha 18 Mar, 2023 @ 4:18am 
It breaks some maps, enemies spawn inside rocks and some structures are missing, for now it only happened in snow maps to me
Rick 10 Feb, 2023 @ 12:11pm 
Not just more useful than vanilla, a whole lot more aesthetically pleasing as well :)
K'Braid  [author] 7 Feb, 2023 @ 6:55pm 
never made one before
K'Braid  [author] 7 Feb, 2023 @ 6:55pm 
ah i figured out how to make one, thank you!
Blob 7 Feb, 2023 @ 2:43pm 
you can make a discussion thread for bugs and we can post it there
K'Braid  [author] 6 Feb, 2023 @ 4:11pm 
you can upload photos to a site lime imgur and just share them here. i wish steam had a more robust system
Blob 5 Feb, 2023 @ 10:34pm 
Hey how do i go about sending information on a broken mission?
Ruína Arcana 28 Jan, 2023 @ 5:07am 
Gorgeous!
Spoon EGK 25 Sep, 2022 @ 9:02am 
EPIC
K'Braid  [author] 9 Sep, 2022 @ 4:58pm 
i would appreciate it if you could take screenshots of the issue and of your minimap so i can identify and rectify the issue. can't do anything with just "it broke"
Renatto 7 Sep, 2022 @ 9:55pm 
nope, just had to alt+f4 in a snow raid biome because the last objetive spawned inside elsa's castle and was unreachable
K'Braid  [author] 30 Aug, 2022 @ 2:08pm 
i did clean up some problematic tiles already so i may have gotten it
ChuToy_89 29 Aug, 2022 @ 9:43pm 
Sorry, no. Might get some later - don't know.
K'Braid  [author] 29 Aug, 2022 @ 5:43am 
screenshots of the problem and of your minimap would help a lot.
i've looked at these tiles so much i can tell which is which
K'Braid  [author] 29 Aug, 2022 @ 5:41am 
did you capture any photo evidence of the issue? it would help me know what was going on and how to fix it.
ChuToy_89 29 Aug, 2022 @ 1:03am 
Please be aware that I've noticed some map tile problems. I could not finish a mission because objectives were buried within terrain at one point, for instance.
K'Braid  [author] 24 Aug, 2022 @ 9:48pm 
i had originally planned to release updates for every tile set i completed, but i quickly learned a lot of the tile sets borrow from one another so updating a set at a time would cause a big mess with the minimap in game with all the mismatching
ChuToy_89 24 Aug, 2022 @ 8:55pm 
I noticed that it progressed a lot yesterday! I'm so glad it's done!

Nice work! It looks great. :) I'm likely to use this for a long time.
K'Braid  [author] 24 Aug, 2022 @ 4:24pm 
@ChuToy_89 i have good news, it's finally done!
ChuToy_89 8 Aug, 2022 @ 9:56pm 
This is something that I've wanted VERY BADLY in the game. I'd love to see it finished. Nice job on creating something so useful. :)
