An updated version of this mod is now on the workshop:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1650227195

Jut found out about this mod. Hope you'll update it, looks amazing

The dynamic version still works. Ping me over the weekend and I'll update both of the mods and fix the version numbers.

Could you check to see if the dynamic colored mapmodes mod works? If that one's working, then fixing this one is easy. If both mods are broken, I probably need to rewrite them from scratch, which I don't know if I'm willing to do again.

There is not a transparent mod for EU4 currently working/up to date, could you make yours the one? I really want to play being able to see the nice terrain while in political map mode. I tried editing the line you pointed out in another updated map mod but it didn't work

I dunno I'm writing a research proposal irl I don't have time to test it. It should work just by changing the version in the .mod

Are you planning on updating this mod going forward? Or should it still be fine if I just change the version in the .mod file?

no idea homie.

lol yeah.

Never mind, I think its so because they are marshes lol!

Uhhhhhhh????

There's no map just a shader???

Can you please update this map. Some regions among in Lithuania seem distorted in political map

I know, I ment to ask if you could add something like that into your mod as well.

@killwonder uh that's controlled by a different shader and some other stuff.

Wow excellent done! I would only suggest making the waters nicer too.

@reddbane lol I once made a documented version, but i had to rewrite it twice since then and none of the old comments survived.

The file is now a lot more complicated because to avoid code reuse, they threw ifdefs everywhere to screw up the code flow.

Come voicechat with me on discord Negi#4836 if you want me to explain it because i'm too lazy to type it all out.

@Negi
Do you happen to know if there is modder resource that explains what all the elements in pdxmap does? Just altering terrain and map color intensity, I'm running into a problem where preserving the map color quality can cause the map of certain nations to become blindingly bright or making text difficult to read (most often with yellow nations). Is there a way to alter the colored overlay map luminosity/shininess ?

I just have to experiment with the correct landscape to map color brightness ratio, to discover which best represents the original RGB codes (and thus make new map recolor modes easier to make) and still allows the player a hint at what landscape lies beneath. For the longest time my personal choice was 0.25 land to .5 map color, but I'm going keep tweaking it until I'm sure what works best.

just link me so i can add it in the description

@reddbane sure, do it =)

I suffer from RG color blindness, so I wanted to ask you if I can use your coding work to make a Transparent map with Brighter more Vibrant Map colors, as most versions of Transparent Map modes cause some problems for the color blind as pale colors and Green texture bleed-through makes it harder to tell certain colors apart. I want to publish this for other color blind users (I've already created a Religious map mode for the color blind), but I don't want to take your work, or whoever else might have wrote the original code, without asking first. I will of course credit you in the mod and add a link to the original.

Yeah I got it working soon after sry

Should. It just says it's not compatible

Doesn't work right now :(

All good

i used this mod in 1.19 for a long time,is it still work in 1.20?any bug?

This transformed the game for me. I can see the terrain and political map at the same time. Great work!

@BALRROC No idea sorry homie.

@black No way to do it without hacking hardcoded stuff. Ask paradox for me.

@FreeMayk I forgot how to update it to work with M&T you need to change the # of tiles from 4 to 5 or something iirc.

it's very good, but can you add tree to political mapmode?

im a suscriber but dont have the mod... why?

Hi Negi, great mode btw.
Can u update ur map for MEIOU and Taxes 1.27?
When start with your mode, i get some lines cross all map.
I cant play with translucent map. :D

Please keep this mod up to date whenever a new patch comes out

Alright thanks for the info

@ShiaLABunion5 No, I put a feature request on the paradox forums, but right now there is no way to do it without really hacking the executable. Right now, this is just editing a shader text-file.

Are you able to allow it to show trees?

@OzbyBray there you go =).

@OzbyBray Hm. I can do it, I guess. It's just a tiny mod of the TBARW mod.

update for 1.19?

How do I get the manual download of Translucent Colored Mapmodes?

I think I actually even updated it for 1.17, just forgot to change the text.

Of course! @Drakons

Does this still work with 1.17?

is good

This mod is only one text file (a shader), and fixing it was just a cut and paste job. My pride and joy mod is the HoI4 dynamic colored mapmodes mod that I made (it's similar to this one (again, only one file), but a little more complicated (and way cooler)). You should try it!

After a reinstall of the game all the mods that have actually been updated redownloaded and everything is fine now. And I thought updatinng eu4 mods takes like ages... anyways thanks for writing back, keep up the good work !

Binch, there was a bug in 1.14.0 that stripped the supported_version string out of the .mod file. I did update it yesterday though after 1.14.2 came out so that the supported_version string matches again, but maybe your subscription didn't auto-update properly. It definitely works though.

What ? In the launcher it says it's not updated... I'll try to resubscribe and stuff maybe that will work...

Binch, I already updated it.
