Silgrad Towers guide for an in-game map.

[1ST]S[/1ST]ilgrad Towers guide for an in-game map.

As promised in this link
I succeeded in solving the problem of the in-game map.


A custom in-game map.

The usable dimensions and the cell coordinates can be changed (depending on the map you're using).

Step 1.

Place the map (GreenMap.dds, see below for the link) in the correct directory "\data\textures\menus\map\world\".


Step 2.

Load the Oblivion esm in the CS.

Go to the World menu and select the submenu "Worldspaces..".
Select Tamriel (screenshot).

In the map data section click on the button "menus..." etc.
Select the map in the "\data\textures\menus\map\world\(GreenMap.dds)" directory.

In this case the map has the same size as Tamriel so you don't have to change the usable dimensions and the cell coordinates.


Step 3.

Save the esp.


Step 4.

Open the esp with a hex editor (screenshot).

Change the following code (find the following text: "menus\map\world\GreenMap.dds").

Change the "m" (6D in hex) from ["m"enus\map\world\GreenMap.dds] to an "M" (4D in hex).


Step 5.

Save the file in the hex editor.


Step 6.

Select the esp and check in-game.
You'll see the map with the correct location of the PC.


Resuming.

I also used another map (bigger) and changed the usable
dimensions and the cell coordinates, as per requirement. This worked fine.

Don't merge it to an esm (leave the changing of the map in an esp).
If you do, your esm alters the oblivion esm and you'll see weird things (in-game screenshot).

I used a map made by Kosomot (WiP).


In-game map esp.

This thread shows how to make the in-game map visible not how to adjust it. The adjustment (coordinates) also depends on the image for the map (dds file) and so on.
