turning off map highlight under mouse

[gwgardner]

in the map.ini file there is this entry:

HighlightAreasBelowMouse=1

When set to 0 the province under the mouse cursor is no longer highlighted.

Another little step towards simplifying and soothing the look of the map. I appreciate the artistry of the developer in creating the map, and all the bells and whistles, but I just prefer things simpler. Try turning off this highlight - you may like it too.

Sounds interesting. I may give it a try along with a couple of other things you've suggested as the various map highlights sometimes perturb me!

I take it that this mod would still allow an actual click on a region to highlight it?

If you can stop the seas going emerald green and snowy regions going orange I'd be grateful too.

However, above all else, what I need is a mod that makes the 'movement radius' highlight more prominent. For me it seems to be a slow pulse, maybe lasting 5 or more seconds, during which reachable regions are highlighted but then become extremely dark so I can't see the map at all. The dark part of the cycle seems to last longer than the light too!

Yeah, see my 'fade in, fade out' thread in the forum. But Calvinus says there's nothing we can do to stop that.

Yes, if you click on a province it still highlights.

I wasn't seeing the 'movement range' highlight until I lightened all the map tiles. You might try the mod I posted for a lighter map and see if it helps you.
