Take a look at this transparent political map

[satyrlord]

Yeah I gave up with M&T because of the lag factor. EVE is much better in that regard and it adds a nice flavour.

Try VeF

I added you on Steam.

Will add you when I get home, in 6 hours.

if I do add it and it does mess with my ironman, it wont screw up my saves will it, I can unmod it and my saves will work again yes?

(sorry I have a few ironman games that I dont want to break so just want to be sure haha)

Satyrlord, is it possible to only make some parts of the terrain transparent?

Won't break anything man, not sure why it's not ironman compatible.

I would say no. The pixel shader covers all overlays. No way it can me fragmented.

Nice.

What about the vanilla marsh terrain? That's the only vanilla terrain that shows in the political mapmode.

This question is way too complicated for me

 

[STGeorge]

Paradox please add in the next patch.

 

[AngryEmpire]

This looks amazing!

 

[kierun]

Joining in with the "me wants" crowd. Would pay for this!

 

[Ricard2037]

WAANT. need... want want this!


I see better combination of maps, exampl. Comercial+political+terrain.

So who's gonna be a champ and make something like this for the workshop?

 

[Empathie]

hello guys, i'm very interested by all of this, so i decided to try to tweak the shaders myself even if i had no idea how it worked.

After having worked a bit on it, i've merged the color mapmode and the terrain mapmode in a single one (replacing the original diplo mapmode).
I have no idea how to add trees to the diplo mapmode, i'm still looking into it, but i didn't find anything yet, i'm not even sure if it's possible.

I have added some more images, you can find them here:

Awesome stuff man. So is this on the workshop?

 

[BBerger]

If Paradox isn't investigating this and releasing this will spike up sales for a next DLC, I don't know what their business plan is anymore!

On a more serious note, I too vouch for this. It adds a whole extra level of detail and beauty to the game, can't wait to see this as 5-star, top-rated graphical mod of all times on the Steam workshop!

 

[Empathie]

I'll probably add it next weekend if i have some free time, but i would like to try to put trees first.

If i have some time i might upload it to the workshop tonight, but not sure at all.

EDIT: ok i put it here, i think you should be able to get it here, but i can't test.

Thanks, this is just what I needed, I don't want to install a mod that tweaks a bunch of stuff just to have more or less what the OP's screenshot showed. Shame about the trees, hopefully you can sort it out or the devs make it possible somehow.

All of this looks great - top ideas and top work modders, although would be great to see addressed in an official patch as well (as I have experiences with supposedly safe mods breaking things, so am a bit leary of them).

I can understand you, i have already had problems when experimenting things !
It's not always safe to use mods, but you can still try on a fast game just to see if you like it.

But i agree with you though, it would be so much better if it was added directly to the game via an official patch or something like that.
