This is a replacement mod that changes the default map tags with a simple, minimalistic design. I was never fond of the original map tags, which looked like 3D bubbles reminiscent of mid-2000s aesthetics. With this mod, the tags are easier to see and more readable.

Change log:
  • Modern Map Tags V1 - original version
  • Modern Map Tags V2 - improved overall tags appearance
  • Modern Map Tags V3 - added subtle 3D effect to the tags without the harsh shine in the original ones

In Packs Needed, a list shows all the EPs from which this mod includes icons. However, the mod is still compatible with the base game, and it will work without issues even if you don’t have one or two of these EPs.
Following resources are replaced and therefore will conflict with other mods altering them. They were taken from DeltaBuild0 (located in Base game instalation folder\GameData\Shared\Packages). Here's a list of those resources:
  • ATLAS_MapTag_00 and ATLAS_MapTag_01 (These files include some other icon from all EPs).
  • from ATLAS_MapTagColors_00 to ATLAS_MapTagColors_04

This mod will not conflict with anything unless you have something that replaces the exact same texture files as listed above. It's compatible with all versions of the game.

However, some custom UI mods may interfere with the proper functioning of my mod. If you still want to use any kind of custom UI mods, I recommend merging their UI with my mod. This way, the overlapping resources will be replaced by those in my mod.

Installation is easy: simply place the package in the Mods/Packages folder, or in the Mods/Overrides folder if you want to give the mod higher priority. Don't forget to delete the cache files after installing newer versions of the mod!
