World Background Maps

In the mod you have a file /def/map_data.sii, which you can edit, but be careful.
You will find two sets of icon settings in there and to be honest I don't know exactly
what the first set do, but I assume they have an impact on icons other than company
ones, which is taken care of by the second set. Here you have the two sets, and they
have impact on the 4 different zoom levels of the map.

Coomon icons:

Code: Select all

	icon_size[0]: (13.0, 13.0)
	icon_size[1]: (10.0, 10.0)
	icon_size[2]: (10.0, 10.0)
	icon_size[3]: (8.0, 8.0)
	icon_size[4]: (15.0, 15.0)
	icon_size[5]: (12.0, 12.0)
	icon_size[6]: (10.0, 10.0)
	icon_size[7]: (15.0, 15.0)

Company icons:

Code: Select all

	company_icon_size[0]: (32.0, 8.0)
	company_icon_size[1]: (20.0, 5.0)
	company_icon_size[2]: (0.0, 0.0)
	company_icon_size[3]: (0.0, 0.0)
	company_icon_size[4]: (60.0, 15.0)
	company_icon_size[5]: (40.0, 10.0)
	company_icon_size[6]: (16.0, 4.0)
	company_icon_size[7]: (16.0, 4.0)

Experiment with different sizes until you are satisfied, but note that you have to restart
the game in between the editing on that file. And DON'T TOUCH any other settings in there! :D

Thank you both for the help!

Hello! Could you send me the ETS2 Satelite Map as a map editor's background?

[BenganJ]

@Xoryx

Come again! What do you mean? Try to be specific, please!

He wants to use your sattelite background map as an BG map in the editor as I understand.

@paokkerkir

Let him speak out for himself mate! :D It is IMPOSSIBLE to use that satellite BG
as ME BG, too big and is not adapted to be used there at all. But I can produce
ME BGs which are satellite based, but then also with roads and cities in them.

Hello! I have this problem where the cities are a bit off the satellite map. It is most visible on islands, where the "circles" are in the ocean.
Is this mod related? Can it be adjusted? If yes, how can I do it?
Thank you very much!

@axellslade

Welcome my friend! May I ask if you mean as examples, the Swedish islands and Cyprus or
is it some other ones? Can you show a screenshot? I can say that in almost all cases it is
due to bad mapping. Both I myself and Promods have done some such things!

Yes, I meant that. I need only Iceland and Greenland part of ETS2 satelite map, without roads and cities
