Map Symbol Size Slider

Description
This mod adds a symbol size slider to map symbols menu. With it you can change the size of symbols and notes on the map.

Features
  • Resize symbols and notes on global map and map items

FAQ
Can I make the symbols even bigger?
The main purpose of the mod is to add the ability to make them smaller or slightly bigger. Here is how you can do it manually, if you really want to.

Can this be added into an existing save?
This mod works on existing saves. Here is how to add mods to existing saves: "Load -> `your save` -> More... -> Choose Mods..."

Known Issues
  • There were some compatibility problems with huge modpacks like "all symbols disappeared" and "resized to standard size". I haven't managed to reproduce them, sadly. So if you manage to reproduce this issue, please report it in the comments so I can fix it (if the issue is in my mod). That would be highly appreciated!


Compatibility tested with the following mods: Extra Map Symbols UI (Workshop ID: 2701170568), More Map Symbols (Workshop ID: 2607200206), Share Your Map Symbols (Workshop ID: 2744101803).

I've added the French translation in the translation section
without adding the accents on a and e so that it's in UTF-8.

Please don't say sorry, I was just curious if you are aware where the issue stems from. Thank you for the explanation!

I remember it was a bit tricky on a minimap. If you notice, the size of the symbols on a minimap stays the same when you zoom in and out up to a certain point (meaning their size changes relative to the map), they don't behave the same way as on the main map.
The scale of the symbol is on the symbol itself, they just don't render them in the same way on the minimap.

It might be possible to add support for minimap, but it's quite complicated and not many people are actually using the minimap, so I decided to not do it, sorry.

Hello, I cannot seem to resize icons on minimap, they stay small size. Is there any way this could be addressed in the future? Thank you!

Do you have any errors in C:\users\username\zomboid\logs, in the debug log?
For me it works perfectly.

I am going to recommend it on all my map symbol mods for B42.

well heck this stuff is so fragile. i was playing for hundreds of hours on this savegame with no change to my modlist and the symbols were working alongside the size slider, then for no apparent reason that mod just stops working when i load it up on Dec 22nd.

i should have never went crazy on all my ingame maps with the symbols, lmao, now it's all "missing texture checkerboard boxes" all over.

ah well, not the end of the world

@Viper That is a known issue, take a look into Known Issues section in the description.
How many mods were installed? If you could reproduce it with a limited set of mods and tell me what were the mods and how to do it, then I will be able to find an issue. Or at least how to reproduce the issue. That would help a lot.

I highly doubt that the issue could be in this mod, because it doesn't touch the symbols themselves nor the map (they even keep the size if you uninstall the mod). But everything is possible of course.

I've also tried this mod with Extra Map Symbols + Extra Map Symbols UI and it worked just fine. Does it work for you when you install just those 3 mods?

As for the update itself, nothing is changed for 41, and for 42 I just moved the mod from 41 into the new file structure.

i lost all my map symbols (b41) and the Extra Map Symbols mod seems to not be working anymore. The only mod that updated in my modlist that has to do with the map UI is this one. And judging by the comments below, there's clearly something that broke. And I think it broke compatibility with the Extra Map Symbols mod. Is anyone else using both mods and can confirm they are no longer working together correctly?

does it show the change the size on the minimap too?

Mod causes FPS loss and makes game loading 3 times longer at least on my laptop. That was not the case in 41.
