MapModeButtons
* 1.13 Compatible *
The UI changes in 1.14 make it impossible for this mod to work. The interface elements it relied upon simply no longer exist. It’s really frustrating, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
A small mod that makes all the map mode buttons and the minimap visible at the same time, and displays which keyboard shortcuts will activate which map modes.
* Now works for any resolution at least 1280 pixels wide. *
As an added bonus it also maps <PageUp><PageDown> to zoom; <m> to toggle the message window, and <,> to toggle the log window.
Doesn’t change the checksum so is usable in Ironman games.
Due to the limitations of EUIV UI modding, when the game first starts no mapmode icons are displayed at all. You need to click the tiny padlock icon in the lower right corner of the screen (under the zoom buttons) to turn the icons back on. You need to do this everytime the game starts, it’s a minor pain, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
