TrueExploration

Until now you've had some magical atlas with a map for every zone, dungeon and even the daedric planes. Not anymore! With this addon, you have to "draw" your own maps.
Each map will start as an empty piece of paper, but as you travel and explore tamriel, your character will draw everything he/she sees.

This Addon is usefull for exploration fans and completionists, who don't want the exact locations revealed as in Destinations.

This addon is compatible with AUI's minimap and Votan's minimap.

Chat commands (should be used while the world map is opened):
/tedebug 1 activates debug mode
/tedebug 0 deactivates debug mode
While in debug mode, you can "draw" the map with your mouse. left mouse button to discover an area, right button to "forget" it again.

/discover completely discovers the currently displayed map.
/undiscover removed the previously set discovered flag.
/clearmap completely clears the saved data for currently displayed map.

Additionally the view radius and the opaqueness of the undiscovered texture can be set in the addon's menu.
ESC -> Settings -> Addon Settings -> TrueExploration



If you enjoy slow and immersive gameplay, try SlowDialogs.

hide/unhide map markers?

Is there a way to hide map markers also? I've installed this and it's great but I can't find any other addon which disables or replaces map markers.

One of my ESO pet peeves is that the maps are too cluttered with locations, so when I look on a map there are 69 markers everywhere on the map, so it looks more like a modern GPS tracker than a hand-drawn map for roleplay purposes.

No, unfortunately that isn't possible.
You can type /discover and /undiscover to manually set maps, but there's no way for the addon to know where you have been while not using the mod.

Thank you for updating this, I wonder if you coud disable the mod in Battelgrounds and maybe also other PvP zones by default as an option?

True Exploration vs HarvestMap

Hi Shinni
I love this addon, very useful and fun, but since Summerset Launch, I had problems with HarvestMap's Pins.

First I thought was something with the addon itself.

But after watching other players using without problems, I thought again.

I did test each addon and finally I discovery which one was conflicting with pins and was True Exploration

See below with and without this addon.

WolfHunter bug: wayshrine free fast travel broken

Looks like something -- I'd guess one of the map hooks -- is breaking wayshrine based free fast travel in 4.1. I have not debugged it yet, on the assumption you may have a pending update to fix it.

Reproduction is trivial, for me:
  1. Visit a wayshrine, and interact, which opens the world map.
  2. Mouse over any other wayshrine, observe the teleport gold cost.
  3. Disable addon
  4. Repeat, observe no cost.

Hi! I wanted to thank you so much for this addon. I really enjoy it, and it has improved the game, for me, significantly since I started using it! Wonderful stuff.

I did want to ask if you would consider adding a threshold to fully discover a map, so that once i cover off, for example, 90 percent of it, the remaining part is just fully revealed. That usually turns out to be inaccessible or uninteresting places, and keeping them hidden doesn't really add much value.

The addon has no way to figure out where your characters has been before you installed the addon. It can only uncover the positions you visited while the addon was active.

To uncover places you visited before installing the addon, you can use the chat commands while the map is opened.
Use /discover to fully uncover the currently viewed map, or use /tedebug 1 while the map is open and then you can draw your positions on the map. Hold the left mouse button to uncover and the right mouse button to hide parts of the map. If you use /tedebug 0, drawing on the map is disabled again.

Not Working as of 10/19/17

For some reason this isn't working at all for me right now, even with all other mods disabled. I tried using it on an old character in zones he hasn't visited yet, and see nothing in the settings that might explain it.
