How to configure the slider (change min/max values, step value, default value)
For now you can change them manually if you really want to:
  1. Open the mod file with a text editor at this location:
    ...\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2734705913\mods\Map Symbol Size Slider\media\lua\client\MapSymbolSizeSlider\MapSymbolSizeSlider.lua
  2. And change scaleMin, scaleMax, scaleStep values to your desired size. It's at the top of the file
You can tweak other values if you want. Default values:
consts = { scaleMin = 0.066, scaleMax = 1.266, scaleStep = 0.1 },
It will change the values on your client

You can change MapSymbolSizeSlider.params.currentScale to set the default scale upon entering a game. It's currently set to in-game size ISMap.SCALE (0.666).

Little hatch under the slider shows the default in-game size, if you want to change its position, change the MapSymbolSizeSlider.params.defaultScale

Hey! I have an Add-On mod for Wipe's "Extra Map Symbols" where I'm revamping all symbols to 256x256 (Vanilla and Mod's), my mod is now dependent on yours as well - I figured out that the minimum scale for it to be 1 square size is 0.00515625 - However, I'm having trouble figuring out the Max and Step values (I suck at math xD). Could you add me and help me out with some stuff please? Thanks alot!

You can think of resulting image size on map as

resulting_size = image_size * scale

If you want your textures to be the same size as the original ones, then

orig_resulting_size = your_resulting_size orig_image_size * scale = your_image_size * desired_scale 20 * scale = 256 * desired_scale

and the formula is
desired_scale = scale * 20/256
or
desired_scale = scale * 0.078125

Just multiply the scale constants by this number 0.078125 and you should get what you want:
defaultScale (ISMap.SCALE) = 0.666 * 0.078125 = 0.05203125 scaleMin = 0.00515625 scaleMax = 0.09890625 scaleStep = 0.0078125

I spent the last hour breaking my head in trial and error and literally just got to that conclusion before reading your answer ahahha Amazing mod! It was just what I needed for my Add-On! I'll make sure to leave credits and requirement for your mod on mine. Thanks again!

I attempted to increase the max size of the notes, which worked; but the issue I'm encountering is that it the note doesn't load in unless I have it zoomed in. What else will I have to edit to make notes appear when zoomed out? Thank you in advance

It's a limitation of the game itself. They don't show map symbols when zoomed out, for performance reasons I assume
