"Screen just goes black the countries still exist but the whole map is pitch black, any fixes?"

This is happening with me as well, what's up with that? I do have a map mod active, so maybe that's causing the problem. I'm kinda just here for the textures, so I don't really wanna disable my map mod

alright, i will and thank you!!
Amine Alkaline  [author] 27 Aug @ 11:49pm 
For the mods directly made by me sure, you have my blessings
For the ones made by Kaarlo dont forget to ask him
DUMPYSHA 27 Aug @ 6:11pm 
can i use your mods and give you credit?

The terrain looks nice, but it makes it very difficult to distinguish between friendly and enemy territory. It needs more shading to color territory you've taken.

@vonkaja
The pro tester himself, for sure buddy

@cenkerzg
I like keeping em speartae and modularity
cenkerzg 24 Jul @ 10:50am 
can u plaese make a better mechanics combined mod where u make a version that simply improves the game that is compatible with most of mods for example not messing with research or ai or map font. And a 2nd version where u combine all of your better mechanics mods that is purely for vanilla improvement and not about compatibility maybe some but its largely igrnored comapred to the 1st version that would be ultra compatible.

Love the work! Do you think theres ever a chance you could combine/update this with your night mode reworks? I like the day and night cycle, but standard Hoi4 nights are so ugly looking compared to your nights. It would be amazing to have this with a day and night cycle.

Incredible!!! can you make a version for TNO?
OmgDaNinja 29 Mar @ 10:17am 
Thank you for your effort and for the good looking mod. :)

But sadly for me switching to dx9 is not worth the performance hit at endgame for sake of one mod.
Amine Alkaline  [author] 29 Mar @ 9:03am 
Hey! for the white boxes I think it varies computer by computer but my best advice would be to switch from directx 9 to 11 (or vice versa)
Maximus 28 Mar @ 9:08pm 
Having the same issue as @OmgDaNinja, getting a white flickering box in Toscana as Italy. present in 1936 and never really goes away.

Loving the mod though, graphic are pure beauty

Yo, really appreciate the map mod, so if you ever decide to change the water texture I hope you don't use a ocean terrain overlay texture (not sure what its called) since it won't be compatible with different projection mods or mods like EaW.
Also, your other mods are just as good, keep it up :steamhappy:

@schnupfi
I appreciate that brother, thank you
Sharpening the mountains is indeed a good idea
If I ever got time to handle that, be sure that I will
Have an excellent day!
schnupfi 31 Jan @ 7:17am 
best map mod by far! thank you! only thing that could be improved imo are mountains? they look flat. mybe take a look at the new height+ map floating around? thank you anyway :)

@Adonnus
Dark water go glou glou

Btw, if you know a map mod that deos water better tell me, I may ask its creator for a permission to integrate its water structure
Adonnus 30 Jan @ 8:46am 
the map on land looks really good but the water is boring

@Cumburger
You are right! I should post this in the desc
Cumburger 18 Jan @ 3:33am 
the flickering happens because of dx11, switching to dx9 fixed it for me at least
rv 14 Jan @ 9:56am 
white boxes flicker aswell like ninja says, 100% this mod
Ум 13 Jan @ 4:41am 
При приближении появляются белые квадраты, как решить проблему?
sterchicus 3 Jan @ 3:35pm 
same problem as omgdaninja
OmgDaNinja 19 Dec, 2024 @ 12:04pm 
White boxes start flickering on certain civilian factories slots.
On my Italy playthrough in Toscana 1st civilian factory and in Sardegna 3rd civilian factory spawn the white flickering box. It becomes solid white box when zoomed in all the way

Sometimes some other areas give tiny flicker but cant recreate.
So something related to factories?
Running DX11 and did test with just this running to narrow it down somewhat.

Amine Alkaline  [author] 24 Nov, 2024 @ 3:19am

sigma 23 Nov, 2024 @ 11:55am 
@Amine Alkaline Thank you! But how to turn it off?
Amine Alkaline  [author] 23 Nov, 2024 @ 11:13am 
its the fog of war
sigma 23 Nov, 2024 @ 10:44am 
help,I start the game for some country and I see factories, cities, etc. only on my territory, everything else is gray
Juan Martinez 23 Nov, 2024 @ 12:10am 
@JuZtCluSivE thanks, it works now!
Flow 19 Nov, 2024 @ 10:42am 
@Juan Martinez If you want to have it achievement compatible at the cost of deleting some files of the mod, you just need to delete the mods' "common" directory (as this does always change the checksum) as well as "map/terrain/Tree_tint.bmp" (I find it quite funny that this 16x16px tree bmp file changes the checksum xD boi did it take a moment until I found it..).
I also deleted "checksum_manifest.txt" and "hoi4format.py", but deleting those two is probably not needed.
It still retains most of the visuals, maybe a solution for you as well.
Juan Martinez 14 Nov, 2024 @ 6:56pm 
sadly the mod is still not ironman compatible :(
Benny The Boy 24 Oct, 2024 @ 1:23pm 
Now that I looked at it again, I think it may actually just be on factory buildings.
Benny The Boy 23 Oct, 2024 @ 10:11am 
I have the same problem, I think it may also be on airports at times (PS. Really love your mods!)
mage. 23 Oct, 2024 @ 6:33am 
oh, same its dx11 no idea why i have the issue though
Amine Alkaline  [author] 23 Oct, 2024 @ 6:26am 
on the hoi4 launcher? I thought you could only select between 9, 11 or OpenGL
mage. 23 Oct, 2024 @ 6:18am 
i am using dx12
Amine Alkaline  [author] 23 Oct, 2024 @ 5:51am 
what DirectX do you use? 9 or 11
I use 11 and dont gave those issues
mage. 23 Oct, 2024 @ 1:26am 
white squares over factory buildings on the map, both this and the night version, no other mod used, any idea why? really liking the dark map
SpiritTosworde 21 Oct, 2024 @ 1:42am 
Thanks for the tip on me being able to delete it. didint know i could :peace_hoi:
Amine Alkaline  [author] 17 Oct, 2024 @ 4:31pm 
no mods, just use a conroller when you boot hoi4 to enter free cam mode
KommanderCheese 17 Oct, 2024 @ 2:40pm 
what mod did you use for the pictures
Amine Alkaline  [author] 17 Oct, 2024 @ 7:42am 
and for me vanilla looks more cartoony
Amine Alkaline  [author] 17 Oct, 2024 @ 7:41am 
Its easy to delete that on your side, just delete the texture file in the gfx file of this mod
