i think the map change killed it

Wow, now it is so small cannot find it even with a magnifying glass, so.....waste of time to install it (:

So ... What happened to the colored Icon change?

ID Please

Thick Red or Thick Green.

I would vote for Thick Red

Okay so what do you guys think about this. I am pondering over just changing the icon to a different color that's easier to see on the map at a glance. I made these up and want to find out which you would prefer.

@quinion - That was originally the plan. Until it became apparent that it takes around 3 hours to bake the mod, which really is just a change in a single image. It shouldn't take that long but uinfortunately that's how Unreal works. I'll see what I can do but I am not comfortable making any promises.

OK, cool, the postion is right on the mark. Now I recall you were going to have other colors as an option, is that still true? I'm voting for a bright red or an orange that stands out, right now the player icon looks just like one of the map icons with a hat on it. :)

Updated and uploaded. You should all have an update queued or downloaded in your Downloads. As far as I can tell, the position bugs are fixed. Had several people test it out and no one was showing the wrong coords.

UE4 blue screened my pc after 2 hours of baking. Trying it again today. This is where we are right now. http://i.imgur.com/h4GgIQD.png

I didn't notice anything different about the icon, sorry. I did notice that is was still in the wrong place, so for sanity sake I had to remove the mod. I hope you can correct this in the future because I really don't have have to use that huge icon.

Sorry guys. I know I promised an update to fix the location bug a while ago. Some real life stuff got in the way and I just haven't had the time. I am currently baking the mod update right now and as soon as it is done I will upload it. I have also changed the icon. Give me your thoughts on it.

Now I only just installed this mod and the big patch hit before I could try it. They said they recalculated a lot of graphical assets. What is happening is that my cute little marker (love it, btw) is about 1 map grid awy from where it should be. I haven't done extensive testing but It show me on an island in the river when I am actually on the shore looking across the lagoon at the island. I do also use the MapCoords mod and I already informed that author of this issue.

the drop isnt in your real position. its about a centimeter too high from my actual position

DROP TOP

RAIN DROP

Massa

Does not work... same the old one :-(

see

@Gravvy - Thanks a lot!

@vork - Yeah that was reported before and I found the issue. I'll push a fix for it this afternoon.

Thanks for the mod. I have one problem though, my arrow on the map is always about a centimeter too high from my actual position.

@Dragonclaws - That's good to hear. I spent a good 4 hours yesterday trying to figure out why it wasn't working for you and came up with nothing.

ok, for some odd reason, the mod is working now. And the foundation bug has been fixed too. I'm guessing there was a patch at some point.

i dont even have the ConanSandbox folder.. nor do i know how to create the .pak file, let alone edit it.

@Dragonclaws - Locate this folder and make sure this text file exists

If it does not, create it. If it does, open it. Add the following to the bottom most line

*Conan_SmallerMapIcon.pak

im playing single player. And yes, after i subscribe the mod in the workshop, i load it in the mod list in the game. But this is the only mod that just never loads.

@Dragonclaws - Are you running a local single player game by chance? If so the mod has to be added for the server as well since single player runs a server.

oh well, i guess it'll eventually load, each time i load up the game.

Odd, no matter how many times i restart the game, i keep getting the big golden icon, and not the silver one.

@Herby - Thanks for letting me know. I tested it out and I was not able to reproduce this bug. I will look into it some more.

@Dragonclaws - It should work just fine. The only thing this mod changed was the sprite for the players icon on the map. I don't see it having conflict with any other mod currently on the workshop.

does this mod work with other map altering mods? specifically the one that shows Iron and Coal on the map?

Thx for your efforts!
However I have a problem with pointer position.

This is a screenshot of my actual position:

And this is the position of the player pointer (same coords):

Please have a look at that, thx

Cheers pal, just simple colour crosses would be really helpful for marking bases and farming areas.
Its sad that how wonderful the game looks, that the map is so poor imo. Massively awesome, but poor.

Th3_}{o0d I'll look into it. If I make it, it'll be an entirely seperate mod.

custom markers would be a great addition.

Thank you very much Luk3ling!

Hey, Gravvy, I tagged a link to your mod onto the entry for this suggestion on the Suggestion Hub stickied over at the the Conan Exiles subreddit!

@Apostol Apostolov I have done something like that for my server on website

if the dev of this wants to know how i converted the coords i can help out

Can we make automatic pointers at locations that we have claimed land?
