About

Accurate World Map v2 (AWM) is the culmination of a months-long endeavour to totally recreate ESO's world map - remastering it in 8k(!) as well as fixing various lore issues, to improve the map's overall quality. It is seamlessly functional with vanilla, and adds new QoL features which are customisable in the addon's settings panel.

Note:

AWM moves zones from their intended location and may/will probably break addons that add pins/edits pins, please make sure these addons are deactivated before install as it may break your installation.

IMPORTANT:

Please DO NOT install or update AWM while the game is still running! ESO only loads textures when the game has been launched from scratch, if you install or update while the game is still running, AWM's textures will not be loaded and thus the addon will not work!

Features

Remastered, 8k vanilla-style map
Lore friendly overhaul of the map in line with previous games
Zones and dungeons moved to their lore accurate places
Lore accurate renames of zones and places
Customise how wayshrines appear on the world map
Gamepad support
Other minor QoL features

Compatibility & Known Issues

Any addon that alters the world map in any meaningful way, or adds pins to the world map in vanilla locations are not compatible with this addon, as Accurate World Map moves zones and pins from their vanilla locations to be more accurate with the real shape of Tamriel.

Addon Incompatibilities

The following addons have been tested to be incompatible with AWM:

Votan's Tamriel Map
Quest Map
Highly Detailed World Map
Lorebooks
EasyTravel

Votan's Tamriel Map alters the world map similar to how AWM does, its zone labels and recoloured hover effects don't show up correctly, and only when you scroll in/out over the zone.

Accurate World Map also overwrites Highly Detailed World Map, so none of its changes will be visible.

Lorebooks relies on the global Tamriel map's positioning for its books, which AWM alters, so installing it with AWM will have issues such as books appearing in the ocean.

Minor Incompatibilities

The following addons may have minor incompatibilities with AWM, untested or otherwise work fine:

MapPins
Destinations
True Exploration
DarkUI
GuildShrines
Votan's Improved Locations

Known Issues

We have a few issues to iron out still. Report any found to Github
PvP battle marks dont respect map changes, this is a LibMapThemer issue
Waypoints no longer appear on the tamriel map, this is intentional as it doesn't display correct positions
Various markers may appear in incorrect locations, all these are known and being worked on.
English only for descriptions and renames.

Thanks To

XyoDarc, TPC9000, Votan, Sir Insidiator, Sharlikan, Baertram, IsJustAGhost and the rest of the ESOUI addon community for their coding help.
The authors of Highly Detailed World Map (MrPikPik), uespLog (daveh), GuildShrines (Valve) and World Map Wayshrines Controller (ErianKalil) for inspiration.
Everyone who's followed this project and encouraged us along the way.
We also appreciate the feedback and bug reports you've been giving us.

In Closing

We hope this addon serves you well in your game and we hope Zenimax sees this addon and takes inspiration to make ESO even better. Everyone who cares about this franchise would love it if they did.

For addon authors:

We have separated AWM core internals into its own lib, LibMapThemer, which means you can use AWM's map theming tech in your addon if you want to. AWM is now the example implementation of a LMT Theme.

We are also accepting separate theme packs for AWM - look out for documentation on that soon.

Does it look like that all the time? There's a bug in the current version that makes the zone description glitch out when you alt tab, like that. It should be 1-2 lines long with the shadow taking up a smaller space on the map.

It's fine now. I didn't know that about the alt-tabbing. I just tried alt-tabbing now and it didn't reproduce the bug. Not sure what could have triggered it. But good to know.

You can edit options on your chat tab and turn off system notifications.
I think this may only be a feature with pChat or FCO Chat Tab Brain addons.

They're there to indicate that the mod is still loading, on slower laptops or PCs we got people saying that the map doesn't work when they simply opened up the map before the mod had loaded fully. It's a big mod (~80mb) and it overhauls and replaces the world map, so for the first few seconds after logging in, the map can be unusable until the second message appears to indicate that it's done.

I do agree it's intrusive though and I have on my todolist some other way of telling people the mod's still loading (maybe an indicator on the map itself?)

That would be great! On my PC the map loads instantly, so the text is useless for me. Besides, I would assume people learned how it works after they had used the map a few times. But I may assume too much.

Oh, another thing. For some reason when you click to zoom in on a province, the first click is always eaten. Once you have double clicked it works fine, but that initial double click is very annoying!

Not sure if this can be fixed or not. Yet another example of ZOS not following lore.

Yup, I complained on the forums about this inconsistency when Lost Depths PTS launched, they never fixed it (it doesn't make sense that the actual location is so far away from the actual entrances).

We decided to swap the locations around, Earthen Root enclave makes more sense to be closer to the Stonelore druid village, and Graven Deep is described in lore to be in the Abecean Sea (so further east than High Isle, not below it like ZOS did).

Edit: In regards to the player location in the zone itself, we don't touch zones for compatibility, just the world map, so we could do something there, but it'd still be inconsistent with the High Isle zone

Intentional, the one in the ocean is where it is lore-wise, the entrance in the zone is kept as is for compatibility. We do this for dungeons where the dungeon itself is physically in a different place from the entrance (often a boat or cave).

Other examples of this:

- Falkreath Hold
- Kyne's Aegis
- Icereach
- Coral Aeirie
- Red Petal Bastion

among others I can't remember right now.

Ah, okay. I get it now. That spot on the land is the docks for Graven Deep.

But the other issue I found is when I actually go to Graven Deep, I'm on the lower left side, not the upper right where it's located in the sea.

Re: Bugs and EasyTravel

Will try to respond to both of you, and a comment I missed down below.

That bug was supposed to have been fixed, will make a note of it, thank you.

This is due to us forgetting to use mipmaps for the Aurbis map (same for Eltheric as well), will be fixed in the next major patch. Here's a sneak peak of how the upcoming Aurbis is supposed to look:

Note that the Systres (High Isles) are included in Tamriel this time instead of in a separate map, this is because while the Eltheric map is super cool, it causes a lot of headaches for us technically and bumps the filesize up (max 100mb). So we're removing it to save space and to help fix the below issues:

Because of the way the Eltheric sub-map works, we've had to kindof hack the waypoint/player position system to trick the game into thinking the player is actually there, to give the ilusion that you've moved off Tamriel. So that's why the waypoints keep getting reset, it's more noticeable when traveling from High Isles to anywhere else.

Not sure why disabling AWM makes EasyTravel work again even with Lore Accurate Names turned off. I'll look into it and make a note on the main page about incompatibility for now.

XiiDraco Forum posts: 0 File comments: 21 Uploads: 2	On hover registration and odd graphical artifacts Hi, I just found this addon and really like it so far since I've had a gripe against the inaccuracies of ESO's map for quite some time now. One thing I noticed that's a minor inconvenience is that exiting to the world map by right clicking out of a zone while the cursor is center screen causes the Tamriel world map to be un-clickable / un-highlighted. I don't know how the internals of the addon works but it reminds me of setting a callback for on mouse enter and not accounting for the state change, i.e. the mouse never "entered" the location and thus must leave and re-enter it to work. And then a separate question: Is the map supposed to look like this? — It looks grainy and graphically distorted.
