Opacity of the map

[MyGodness]

Hi everyone,

I wonder if it's possible to change the opacity of the map (in the menu, in game) ? I don't find it very practical to have a truck in the background when I want to take a screenshot of the map.

Thanks !

@MyGodness

I assume you mean the truck animation that is shining through
due to the fact that the map window has an opacity less than
100%, as in this video.


I have never thought of it and a quick look in the map_data.sii
file gave me nothing. That would be the place, I think, where
a parameter would be found, if it were changeable. So, other
than making your own BG truck animation as a totally black one,
and substitute it against one of the menu BG's I haven't a clue!

Thanks BenganJ :) And yes, I was talking about that background.

I also looked in map_data.sii and I didn't find anything there either.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to replace the animation, is it relatively easy to do?

animation its asked by map.sii from ui/desc
and is described in ui/world_map.sii

try identify the background animation and make it static (or even black)

@MyGodness & @Arayas

The bad thing is that the animation is MODEL type one, which you
create in e.g. Blender and to make it worse, I think it's a two part
one as SCS places the present truck within the other general one.
Correct me if I'm wrong here. Or they just refer to the present
truck model you use within that general anim.

Hello everybody,

why don't you try that mod : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 1938342988

I use it with different combos without any issue :)

Have a good day from a French in confinement :D

Interesting! But have you looked closely that you don't have the animated truck
rotating there behind the map. I realize that you can't see it around the map with
that mod, but I've tried with a TOTALLY black map BG and the truck shines through
then too. So, SCS has set a non 100% opacity value on the map BG somewhere.

@BenganJ

I've cancelled the background map mod and on a place without any road I've a total plain back without transparency so I can suppose it's what is required by MyGodness.

Try it and you will see ;)

Better off, I have edited my own ATS SAT BG to see if I can see the animation
behind there. I will report back! :D

EDIT: Nah, the test with my own ATS SAT BG was not a success, so I will dive
into the mod you linked to a bit more later when I got time for it. I will still
report back here when done! Thanks for the link! :D

[MyGodness]

Thanks for the link, I will try that :)

EDIT : I tried the mod and that is exactly what I was looking for so thank you very much !
