Dynamic Political Map

Compatible with 1.37. Ironman compatible.

Makes the political map mode similar to HOI4 and Imperator: Rome. When zooming in, the colors start fading and the terrain becomes visible. When zooming out, the terrain, province and state borders fade out and the political map becomes flat.

This mod is an amalgamation of many graphical mods that I always enjoyed but haven't been updated anymore for some time, plus some changes of my own. The mods are:

- HOI4-style Dynamic Colored Mapmodes (dynamic transparency mechanic)

- Thick Borders and recolored water (transparent map)

- Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Add-On: Dynamic Borders) (nice borders that fade with distance)

Credit goes to them. All I did was mix their codes/graphics, made the sea darker and implemented the functionality to make the map flat.

This mod makes the political map mode similar to HOI4 and Imperator: Rome. When zooming in, the political map colors start fading and the terrain becomes visible.



On maximum zoom in, there are no colors and the map looks like the terrain map mode (except there will be no trees).



When zooming out, the terrain, province and state borders fade out and the political map becomes flat. When you reach about the height where country names appear, the colors reach their maximum, the terrain becomes invisible and flat.





Overwrites some shader files, namely pdxmap.shader, pdxwater.shader and border.shader. Also, some borders from Theatrum Orbis Terrarum are used, meaning mods that change borders will not work properly (but the transparency should still work).

Compatible with Typus Orbis Terrarum. Also, I highly recommend it since it's so beautiful and well-made.

Compatible with mods that change the map font.

Feel free to use, copy and incorporate into your mod.
