Problems with Dynamic map mod...

[h89zatzyi09]

Hi,

 

I have an irritating problem with this aforementioned mod. To start of with the basics:

- I installed the mod with WRYE BASH
- I made sure to install the CORE and ElVEN MAP components from the sub-packages

- I have installed the prerequisite mods: OBSE and MenuQue
- And I use BOSS to organise the mod

The problem? The in-game map is blurry and low-res; I have an adequate PC, and the in-game settings are not set low, so we can rule that out as a possible cause...

I suppose the situation is tolerable but a solution would be most appreciated

I remember having this issue when I first installed this mod also. It has been a few years, so I could be wrong, but I think the map's default zoom level was too high. Do not remember how I fixed it, but it would still do that sometimes, albeit very rarely, during play.

 

Edit - Just ran the game to test. It initially loaded with the zoomed-in, low-res map. Tabbing out to the game and back to the map fixed it.

Note that the map screen will take time to load, Dynamic Map scans your load order and creates a custom map each time you run the game. After loading the map once in a session, load times will be back to normal.

 

Map Marker Overhaul makes a nice addition to Dynamic Map.

Thanks for your and assistance, eric31415.

 

However, I tried doing what you advised, but to no success: the problem with the dreay, low-res map remains...

Did a little digging, think I know how to fix this now.

 

Open the Dynamic Map Base.ini at Oblivion/Data/Ini. There are 3 lines where you can configure hotkeys for zoom in, out, and reset. Make note of the keys, or change them, then run the game and zoom the map out all the way.

Thanks for your continued help in this matter, but I must reiterate that I have no problems with regards to zooming in and out with the map mod: press + icon to zoom in; - icon to zoom out; and R icon to reset the map size.

 

The problem is that whether I choose to zoom in or out, the map is always blurry, ugly and low resolution, and the names of places/towns/cities are barely legible.

 

I can 'live' this issue as it's a minor irritant, but it’s disappointing that I am unable to resolve it.

I see in the version history part of the MiniMap mod description about "Made dynamic map support configurable". I'm a vanilla map guy myself, so I have no idea whatsoever if this is relevant or not.
