1st is it possible 2nd How do i do it? (Change the In-game "debriefing map images")

Basically, I wanted to start making "Tactical maps" with stuff like Autogun Ammo highlighted and stuff, with the biggest problem being getting lost on "Lana's Vents" so i made this

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1784003117

Is there anyway to edit The files so i can get this image as the actual in-game map image while i'm playing (maybe not exactly like this with red lines it's a quick draft) But is it possible? Client side I mean.

In steamapps/common/Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop/reactivedrop there is a pak01_dir.vpk file, which contains overviews for all official campaigns. you would have to make an addon which replaces the lana's vents mission overview with your own picture. there are 2 overview pictures for each mission, one for "tab" (briefing) picture and other for the radar. lana's vents overview pictures are located in materials/vgui/swarm/overviews with the name of rd-lan4_ventoverview.vtf and rd-lan4_ventbriefingoverview.vtf

I doubt it will work on other players' hosted lobbies but it should work on servers.

I did it :D my first ever mod,

Now it's not perfect (i think the map is off center or something) it's Not as accurate as the other map, BUT it works.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1787499567 This will do for now till i learn how to refine ♥♥♥♥ (or if anyone else want's to have a crack at it) hit me up could drop a link to my mega or i dunno upload the mod and let anyone edit it.

Has alot of issues but Hey i got through the maze using it so it definitely works.

The map is either too big or too small because it's off balance and you hit a wall but your circle on the radar says you had plenty of space or your "out of the map"

and it's a bare bones mod no icon or desc.

But Hey it's a start.

And i have alot more planned if i get help (i like to draw more then doing the compiling and stuff)

"tac maps"
tactical maps that show the spawns of every ammo/heath/equipment drop welders autogun ammo etc
I did 1 showing autogun (not the best at doing icons just wanted a quick example)
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1784048555

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1787511404 (friends only) till it gets a bit of testing from a few buds.

I'll redraw it (without using the wrong image with all the lines) laters.

Mod is complete, Download available for everyone.
