Modified Panorama Map, Legendary Animal/Fish Map, and Charles Chatenay's Sketch Textures to make them usable for in-game navigation and Legendary Hunting

Physical world map

🎯 **Make the in-game maps really work! **

I've always been curious why physical maps in games aren't used more effectively. Why can’t we take real navigation tools out of our bags? It is for this reason that I made this mod and share it with you now!

🌟 Module function

  • **HD Texture Replacement**: Provides HD versions of panoramic maps, legendary animal maps and legendary fish maps
  • **Practical Navigation**: These maps can now be used for precise in-game navigation and world exploration
  • **Saint-Denis City Map**: Contains a detailed map of Saint-Denis that replaces Charles Chatenay's sketch (don't worry, the content on the back is still there)

🗺️ Map details

🔶 Panoramic map

  • **Get Location**: Found at the Frozen Couple
  • **Coverage Area**: West of the map (Eastern Ambarino, East New Hanover, and North West Elizabeth)
  • **Feature**: Close to the Chapter 1 camp, UFO location will be displayed whenever picked up

🟢 Legendary Animal Map

  • **How ​​to obtain**: Obtained after completing Hosea's Bear Hunting Mission
  • **Coverage Area**: East part of the map (Western Barrino, West New Hanover, and Lemoyne)

🔵 Legendary Fish Map

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.
