Improved Map Mod (Rustard) Knight of Science Edit
A downloadable mod
Foxhole map mod with better terrain and road colors, topography, etc. Edited by Knight of Science, originally Rustard's Improved Map Mod. I asked Rustard if it was okay to upload this and he said go for it.
White squares have been fixed, all you need is this base mod. I no longer package the zoom functionality separately due to standalone zoom mod issues due to HD nature of the map mod. When I used the zoom mod by itself it caused problems.
Danetello's map mod fix is no longer necessary as a result of this change. The map mod fix overwrites the MapStyle file so my zoom features may not work correctly if you are still running it.
Stuff I added:
- Mortar House Ranges (Dashed red circles)
- Coastal Gun Ranges (Solid black for lock on, dashed for warning shots)
Reaching Trail - Rough markers for Mousetrap glaciers and Limestone Holdfast wallsThis is now part of the base mod texture made by Rustard (that I use). His Reaching Trail fix is much prettier than mine was.Rail Stormcannon (RSC) Ranges (See explanation)Since the RSC ranges have been updated my old lines were inaccurate. I may add them back in the future.- Active Border Intel Disable Range (See explanation)
- (In development) Small stonewalls visible on the map. Currently only shown in Westgate, Deadlands, Stlican Shelf, and Clahstra.
Active Border Intel Disable Range:
As a bonus the red zone lines also mark the point at which intel providing structures will be disabled if there is an active border condition present. To ensure an obs tower never turns off make sure to build it no closer to a border than the red line. If using the red line for steering clear of intel disable for a particular border you should imagine it to go border to border.
Why is there only one download now?
Last time I uploaded two different versions, one compressed and the other not compressed. My export chain isn't the most sophisticated and the results are indistinguishable from eachother so I'm only uploading the normal compressed version (for reference Rustard's base map is also compressed)
Currently only supports HD darkrdz multi pack map set. I may add more if there is demand.
If you have feedback or improvements feel free to find me in FOD or sigil and DM me.
Lastly, I made the Amusing Renames Mod to add a humorous element to the world map by renaming several hexes. Give that a try if you are bored :)

best map mod
Modification breaks the icon of field warehouses in update 59
Fixed in v3.3!
Update 58 broke something, I see white squares in the center of the mortar ranges.
The update now has a Mortar House icon in-game. It will be white until the modpack is updated
Can you make all versions of Rustard's map with this mod, please. And maybe I'm wrong, but I think stonewalls should be not so contrast black.
Best map mod available right now! Buy entire stocks!!
Awesome! Thx!
Looking forward to the update.
