Accurate World Map v2

REQUIRED LIBRARIES:

About

Accurate World Map v2 (AWM) is the culmination of a months-long endeavour to totally recreate ESO's world map - remastering it in 8k(!) as well as fixing various lore issues, to improve the map's overall quality. It is seamlessly functional with vanilla, and adds new QoL features which are customisable in the addon's settings panel.

Note:

AWM moves zones from their intended location and may/will probably break addons that add pins/edits pins, please make sure these addons are deactivated before install as it may break your installation.

IMPORTANT:

Please DO NOT install or update AWM while the game is still running! ESO only loads textures when the game has been launched from scratch, if you install or update while the game is still running, AWM's textures will not be loaded and thus the addon will not work!

Features

Remastered, 8k vanilla-style map
Lore friendly overhaul of the map in line with previous games
Zones and dungeons moved to their lore accurate places
Lore accurate renames of zones and places
Customise how wayshrines appear on the world map
Gamepad support
Other minor QoL features

Compatibility & Known Issues

Any addon that alters the world map in any meaningful way, or adds pins to the world map in vanilla locations are not compatible with this addon, as Accurate World Map moves zones and pins from their vanilla locations to be more accurate with the real shape of Tamriel.

Addon Incompatibilities

The following addons have been tested to be incompatible with AWM:

Votan's Tamriel Map
Quest Map
Highly Detailed World Map
Lorebooks
EasyTravel

Votan's Tamriel Map alters the world map similar to how AWM does, its zone labels and recoloured hover effects don't show up correctly, and only when you scroll in/out over the zone.

Accurate World Map also overwrites Highly Detailed World Map, so none of its changes will be visible.

Lorebooks relies on the global Tamriel map's positioning for its books, which AWM alters, so installing it with AWM will have issues such as books appearing in the ocean.

Minor Incompatibilities

The following addons may have minor incompatibilities with AWM, untested or otherwise work fine:

MapPins
Destinations
True Exploration
DarkUI
GuildShrines
Votan's Improved Locations

Known Issues

We have a few issues to iron out still. Report any found to Github
PvP battle marks dont respect map changes, this is a LibMapThemer issue
Waypoints no longer appear on the tamriel map, this is intentional as it doesn't display correct positions
Various markers may appear in incorrect locations, all these are known and being worked on.
English only for descriptions and renames.

Thanks To

XyoDarc, TPC9000, Votan, Sir Insidiator, Sharlikan, Baertram, IsJustAGhost and the rest of the ESOUI addon community for their coding help.
The authors of Highly Detailed World Map (MrPikPik), uespLog (daveh), GuildShrines (Valve) and World Map Wayshrines Controller (ErianKalil) for inspiration.
Everyone who's followed this project and encouraged us along the way.
We also appreciate the feedback and bug reports you've been giving us.

In Closing

We hope this addon serves you well in your game and we hope Zenimax sees this addon and takes inspiration to make ESO even better. Everyone who cares about this franchise would love it if they did.

For addon authors:

We have separated AWM core internals into its own lib, LibMapThemer, which means you can use AWM's map theming tech in your addon if you want to. AWM is now the example implementation of a LMT Theme.

We are also accepting separate theme packs for AWM - look out for documentation on that soon.

I use 2 map addons: VotansTamrielMap and QuickMapNav. One colors the regions in faction and the other adds clickable neighbor zone names. Instead of coloring all zones a colored faction border of the whole faction would be a nice addition + the faction's shield in a corner to can be turned on/off

One thing that doesn't work is with https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info...nsMiniMap.html. It cuts the minimap into its default box style. Idk why this happens since it only affects the minimap looks. But the minimap itself works really well if you only use the default style https://esoui.com/downloads/info1399-VotansMiniMap.html.

TNTKokser Forum posts: 38 File comments: 184 Uploads: 0	Since questing is much easier in native language due to fantasy words and accents like the Khajiit I play the localized version. Unfortunately AWM is not prepared for localization. After all the years in the Elder Scrolls universe I'm familiar with the original location names of course, so this problem would be ok for me. However, I found some other incompatibility: all addons that refer to the localized map names, e.g. Votan's Survey The World, a module of his Improved Locations (that is listed as compatible).

This is correct, I will update the main page to indicate this more clearly (Localisation is something I am interested in for future, it is just English only for now). You can turn off the forced English names in AWM by unticking the "Lore Accurate Names" option in settings for now.

Thanks! I have added GuildShrines back to the "Works Great With" section.

Yes unfortunately, right now we export the map tiles manually, having to do the same for 4k and 2k would take a lot of work.

It's already running and working fine in the english version, the issue affects only the localized version. Switching "Lore Accurate Names" OFF works for me, thanks for the hint.

Regarding the localization of your great addon:
wouldn't it have make sense to do this from scratch instead of hard coding english in the main lua file and then replace everything with StringIDs

Especially I'm pretty sure such StringIDs are already provided by ZOS' API for the standard region names. At least I assume so, it would make sense. The more you hard code now the more work you'll have later (and it may produce errors). As far as I know you only need a folder "lang" with files like de.lua, en.lua, fr.lua etc, containing simple declarations like

Code:

ZO_CreateStringId("AWM_SOME_NAME", "Localiced Name")

and then use eg. AWM_CRAGLORN in your main.lua instead of "Craglorn". Other users like me could translate your en.lua to their native language.

Yes, in hindsight making the mod with localisation in mind would have been better and would have saved me more work later, but we (Vylaera and I) were focused on getting the mod working, which wasn't easy. (AWM is more than just a texture replacer) Since we're both English speakers, it just came default and we weren't thinking about it.

My focus right now is getting the main issues fixed before "full" release (6th June - same as High Isle), as you can see on the main page or on the changelog section under "Upcoming release". But this doesn't mean I'm not open to localisation -- a known FR translator has already forked my mod on Github (waiting to hear back from him - but implied he wants to translate), so will see how things go.

I've put on my todolist your suggestions and I will see what I can do to make things more localisation friendly for post-release.

Edit: French guy says he is open to translation (that is why he forked it), so after release I'll definitely make things more localisation friendly in future.
