Possible to add hand-made world map?

[Mekii]

I am currently in a early planning stage of an mod that I want to create. Now I have this idea of that the world map shouldn't have the ordinary 3D look when coming to and traveling this new world space. I have this idea of whenever entering the map an hand-made (drawn) map should be shown instead of the ordinary looking map.

 

Since I, at this time, have no bigger clue how I'd do this, I am wondering if someone might have an idea of how and/or if it is even possible to make such a change of the map?

I will probably have to adjust it over time.

This guy has already done so

(and there are several map replacers on the nexus)

 

You could ask him or take a look at his mod in the CK to see what makes it tick.

 

However, there are a number of problems with custom maps introduced by the 1.8 patch, judging from the "bugs" section on the mod description page.

Interesting, I'll go and check it out at once.

And thanks for the tip and heads up.

 

Now I have to figure how my search could not find this guy :psyduck:

there's another cool mod that adds the paper map as an item you hold.
