Accurate World Map v2

REQUIRED LIBRARIES:

LibAddonMenu | LibMapThemer

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.

Please let me know if there are any major issues. Edit: to answer the post below, that is of vanilla's doing, the zone names are inconsistent like that, and EasyTravel should use IDs instead of zone names to travel to places. AWM didn't touch Galen or Yffelon until just now. Last edited by Thal-J : 11/07/22 at 03:02 PM.

When right clicking those zones through that addon, it tries searching for the modified names, and the roster searching mechanic breaks. Even with the Lore Accurate Names option disabled, the 2022 zones display as "Traveling to Galen and Y'ffelon" rather than "Traveling to Galen", breaking it as well. I know it might be more on their side the way the mechanic works, but I haven't seen the incompatibility listed in AWM's page, so it might not be known.

Firesong comes out Nov 1st, I am moving on the 3rd, won't have stuff ready by at least the weekend. Can't update the addon on my laptop because I dont have room for PTS on it, so the addon will have to wait until I'm set up at my new place. Practically this means the Galen landmass on the map will not be clickable, and the wayshrines there will not show in the right place. Sorry folks. You'll still be able to access the new zone via the location list on the side of the map, you just wont be able to click into it.

Don't mention it! You guys deserve it and even more than this. If it were to me, ZOS should be rewarding you for fixing their sh*t...

Right now we're both busy with work and Vyl is busy with a redo (v2) of the map. We're aiming to get it done before Firesong launches. I'm waiting on Vyl to finish her side before I can do the addon side, and then I can look into compatibility stuff after. Fingers crossed.

Great to hear! I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually. Can't wait to see how v2 looks because this one already looks awesome

Thank you once again and all the best to you both!

Any mod using LibPGS will have the same issue and none of them are incompatible or have been made to be incompatible with your mod.

I have had something like this written on the the page since the beginning:

Note: After installing; zones, dungeons, and wayshrines will be moved to their more lore accurate locations, and thus will not match the in-game locations. This is intentional, and will not be changed.

But I agree that it should be made more clear like what you said. I will extend the wording on that notice to include other mods as well, to avoid users messaging other addon authors about incompatibility with AWM.

Is there a way you could make this addon compatible with the addon "Accurate World Map"? Reading over that addon page they list your addon as incompatible. Didn't know if there was an easy rework/update you could do to make it compatible. Thanks.

I don't know a good way to word it any differently but I feel that users will interpret the compatibility section to mean that an author like myself has to create the compatibility for your mod. You obviously don't have to use my suggestion, I just don't know how to avoid any confusion.

I was wondering if you could separate compatibility into its own section and indicate from your standpoint as the author, "Because of my goals for Accurate World Map I needed to alter the library LibGPS. I wanted to do this to make the maps more lore accurate. Upon doing so certain mods do not work the same with Accurate World Map. However, I am looking for a way to resolve this." Then list the mods so I don't get every user posting that I need to make my [insert mod here] compatible with your mod.

Any mod using LibPGS will have the same issue and none of them are incompatible or have been made to be incompatible with your mod.

Yes, will do. It sounds like a bug as turning off lore-names reverts to whatever vanilla does, but not in this case. I've added it to the bug list.

As for the settings error, looks like something in LorePlay addon is messing stuff up, I've had that happen with a few other outdated addons that rely on LibAddonMenu too.

I hope the authors fix this because I really like this mod.

Have you tried turning off Lore Accurate Names? I believe that should revert to vanilla naming, but if it doesn't then it's a bug and I'll add it to the list.

Every fishing hole has been shunted out of place. As it's not locations built into the addon though, rather it marks ones as you discover them, someone installing it fresh with this addon wouldn't have a problem. I'll let Votan know, hopefully some sort of patch can be figured out for that as rediscovering all these fishing holes will be exhausting!
