New structure in handling of map_data.sii
Posted: November 5th, 2019, 4:21 pm
======= Information on how we ought to use the ========
=================== MAP_DATA.SII ===================
================ file in our mods here ================
The map_data.sii file contains a lot of settings controlling how the
World Map view and Job Market views will look and be handled. This is
how it looks default in the game.
SCS's map_data.sii:
Code: Select all
SiiNunit

map_data ; .map.data {

it more flexible and less prune to interference between other mods. This is how
that information will be structured in my mods.
My map_data.sii structure:
Code: Select all
map_data/ ;folder with the following content.
--> _OF/ ;folder containing map_data.sii file in the old format, with all data. For comparison to other map_data.sii files.
------> map_data.sii.orig
--> map_color_config.sui"
--> zoom_uplift_config.sui"
--> player_size_config.sui"
--> road_size_factor_config.sui"
--> full_detail_config.sui"
--> icon_size_config.sui"
--> company_icon_size_config.sui"
--> camera_limits_config.sui"
--> map_items_flags_config.sui"
--> map_3d_camera_pitch_config.sui"
--> ui_map_register_config.sui"
--> ui_map_camera_config.sui"
--> ui_map_always_draw_city_config.sui"
--> navigation_params_config.sui"
map_data.sii ;the original file, but modified as specified below.
The modified map_data.sii file will be a file with constant content, a standard file like this:
Code: Select all
SiiNunit
{
map_data ; .map.data {
@include "/def/map_data/map_color_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/zoom_uplift_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/player_size_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/road_size_factor_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/full_detail_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/icon_size_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/company_icon_size_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/camera_limits_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/map_items_flags_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/map_3d_camera_pitch_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/ui_map_register_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/ui_map_camera_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/ui_map_always_draw_city_config.sui"
@include "/def/map_data/navigation_params_config.sui"
}
}
can just put the file /def/map_data/map_color_config.sui in his mod and change the various colors in it to
suit his taste. Cool huh? Likewise with the other categories of settings, thereby making just the needed
changes and the minimal impact on the data.
Here I will try to maintain a list of mods, including maps, that use this concept.
- [ETS2] Ultimate Satellite background mod //A satellite background, in Google style, for the World Map view and Job Market views.
- [ETS2] Ultimate SCS style background mod //A plain background, in SCS style, for the World Map view and Job Market views.
- [ETS2] Ultimate Thin border line SCS style background mod //A thin border line background, in SCS style, for the World Map view and Job Market views.
- [ATS] Universal Satellite background mod //A satellite background, in Google style, for the World Map view and Job Market views.
- [ATS] Universal SCS Thin style background mod //A thin border line background, in SCS style, for the World Map view and Job Market views.
- [ETS2&ATS] Sinagrit Baba's Navigation mods //He has prepared Color Customization mods, that can be used to adjust the style of the above BGs.
Please, feel free to comment on this new handling of the map_data.sii file!
