Removed the behavior of automatically zooming to local view when opening a map in a town, village or similar internal map

Veteran Map

🎯 **Say goodbye to annoying autozoom! **

✨ Main functions

This mod removes the behavior of automatically zooming to the local view when opening a map in a town, village or similar local map. In the original game, when you were in these locations, the map automatically switched to a close-up local map view, instantly showing your precise location.

With this change, whether you're inside a settlement or in the open countryside, the map will open at the global map's zoom level, providing the same wide-area overview every time.

💭 Original intention of creation

The author stated: "I was annoyed by the behavior of the original map - when you open the map, it always shows that zoomed-in level, and then I have to manually zoom out every time because I'm not interested in the town itself, but want to see the surroundings. Now that's finally fixed, I can actually enjoy the game!"

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
