Color map markers.

A richer alternative to contrasting and colorful map markers

What mod is this?

This mod changes the icons on the map to new colorful icons.

I'm not happy with the color choices when using Soft Map Markers, mainly when using the more fantasy looking mod packs. I couldn't find anything on the contact, so I took the original "pastel map marker" icon and redid it all again to make my own. Some color choices are also significantly different, mainly for different major cities to match their banners (such as Whiterun or Dawnstar). Others are different as well because I don't think the originals look that nice (pink shrine of death).

compatibility

Apparently not compatible with pastel map markers. I literally took the files for this mod and edited them to put my work in them. It should then follow the same compatibility as the original mod.

Compatible with:

-Customizable UI, included in the main file

-SkyHUD, included in the main file

-360 compass with patch files

question

• When using this with Remove Map Camera Limitations some people will have CTD unless the SkyHUD patch is removed for some reason.

-Also, if you experience crashes while using the SkyHUD patch, just reinstall the mod without this patch, apparently this won't work well for some people. There is no colored icon on the compass, but it is still on the large map.

special thanks

• iTitoMix offers the Pastel Map Marker module in the first place, which I couldn't do otherwise.

-Ember2528, for basic files required for SkyUI support.

-CyborgArmGun for customizable UI patches.

-Bethesda is obviously here for the game.

What is this mod?

This mod changes the icons on the map for new colored icons.

When playing with Pastel Map Markers, I was underwhelmed by the color choice, mostly when using a more fantasy looking mod pack. I couldn't find anything so I did my own artwork by taking the original Pastel Map Markers icons, and redoing all of them again. Some are also more different in the color choice, mostly for the different big cities to match their banner (for example Whiterun or Dawnstar). Others are also differents by the simple fact that the original is not very good looking in my opinion (the pink deadric shrines).

Compatibility

Obviously not compatible with Pastel Map Markers. I literally took this mod's files and edited them to put my work inside. It should then follow the same compatibilities as the original mod.

Compatible with:

• Customizable UI, included in main file
• SkyHUD, included in main file
• 360 Compass, with a patch file

Issues

• Some people have CTD when using this mod with Remove Map Camera Limits, unless when removing the SkyHUD patch for some reasons.
• Also if you ever have crashes when using the SkyHUD patch, just reinstall the mod without this patch, apparently it isn't working that great for some people. You will have no colored icons on the compass, but still on the big map.

Special thanks

• iTitoMix for providing the Pastel Map Markers mod in the first place, otherwise i couldn't make this one.
• Ember2528 for the base files required for the SkyUI support.
• CyborgArmGun for the Customizable UI patch.
• Bethesda obviously for the game.
