For the information of other players: I tried to run this mod in 1.12.x and it crashed my GPU. So it's probably no longer working.

I really love how this mod unobscures most border provinces.

Thanks

Okay I have fixed the bug you mentioned with the construction mode, thanks for informing me about that.
I have also found out that if you set "GB_CAM_MAX_FILLING_CLAMP" to "0.0f" you indeed no longer have coloured political overlay, BUT also no overlays in other map modes, so this is not really advised.
If you do want the (political) overlay(s) to appear later (zoomed out more) I advise you to try out my other border mod: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/?id=1224294852

1. Thank you
2. Yes I think we're both talking about the same thing, but just to make sure were on the same page, I'd like to see countries look like the 4th picture for this mod while fully zoomed out.
3. I ran into a bug where the color that shows how many factories are in a state is not rendered so I just see the terrain.

I have found the file: open the mods' file "constants.fxh", goto section "gradient borders". It's somewhere in the first five lines. If you set "GB_CAM_MAX_FILLING_CLAMP" to "0.0f" it should work. Cannot test it right now. Hope I could help...

1. Mod that changes country name color is called "-RGFX- White Map Font".
2. I havent't modded the files for a long time but I think it is possible to completely remove the political overlay color, if that's what you mean.

Also is it possible to only make the borders colored?

Whats the mod called that changed the country names

Updated for 1.9!
Cyberdemon  [author] 25 Nov, 2019 @ 8:52am 
Shouldn't affect performance.
Pluvi 25 Nov, 2019 @ 8:12am 
does it effect performance?

TotalVictori 27 Mar, 2019 @ 11:52am 
can you update
Daniel 27 Apr, 2018 @ 12:14pm 
@Cyberdemon: Ok, thanks for the quick response.
Cyberdemon  [author] 27 Apr, 2018 @ 12:06pm 
@AntiLegend:
Theoretically it's possible but there would be gradients again all over the place, which kind of defeats the purpose of this mod tbh.
Daniel 27 Apr, 2018 @ 10:43am 
The mod looks pretty good, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be ironman compatible. Is it possible to make changes to this mod, so it is? Thanks.

Beautiful mod, thank you so much. The colors were obnoxious, this mod is perfect.
BunnyPoopCereal 3 Dec, 2017 @ 12:28pm 
I see the changes now. The game looks much cleaner. Thanks
Cyberdemon  [author] 3 Dec, 2017 @ 12:04pm 
I finally got rid of all gradient border stuff in every map mode there is. Borders are solid now for real. They don't look exactly like EU ÌV borders (which is what I would want them to look like), but I think it's the best I could do for now.

Thank you Cyberdemon

@BunnyPoopCereal
Hmm, it's possible to remove gradient borders altogether. If you want to disable them when zoomed in, for example, you need to do the following:
1. Open folder "\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\1132450213" on the drive where you installed HoI 4.
2. Open "gfx\FX\constants.fxh" in the included .zip file with notepad.
3. Search for "GB_OPACITY_NEAR" and change it from "0.8f" to "0.0f".
4. Save everything.
Note: You have to repeat the above steps when my mod is updated.

Unfortunately you cannot see the actual borders when zoomed in, then. You can only see province borders.
If you want to see just big black borders you would have to change stuff in "standardfuncsgfx.fxh", I guess. But I think I lack the modding skills to tinker with this file ;)
BunnyPoopCereal 2 Dec, 2017 @ 12:32pm 
Would it be possible to get rid of the border colors all together?
BunnyPoopCereal 2 Dec, 2017 @ 12:26am 
Thank god. Those gradients are the worst thing in this game.
