Flat World Map Framework (FWMF) Mod

For proper framework and its maps work place FWMF plugins dead last in plugin load order and as low as possible (at least below LODs outputs) at mod load order.

If using with Community Shaders and Screen Space GI, make sure to open Screen Space GI settings (End button) and

either 1) set Quality to AO Only and save changes.

or 2) disable Indirect Lighting in Toggles and save changes.

For Vortex users (auto-sorting disabled): Go to plugins. Click Manage Groups, right click then Add Group. You can call it Maps. Then hold CTRL and from the last group click and connect to Maps. Close. Double click on the "Flat World Map Framework..." area (not on the name). Change group to Maps, then click on Sort Now In the top orange bar. If you sort the plugins by load order, you can check if it moved the Map plugin.

For Vortex/LOOT users: FWMF and compatible maps included in LOOT's masterlist now. Sorting with LOOT should place FWMF mods low enough to make them work properly. Mind please, LOOT will place them before DynDOLOD/Occlusion plugins, so you will need to re-run DynDOLOD now and after every FWMF update.

For MO2 users: after installing FWMF FOMOD and placing them dead last additionally check Overwrite folder if it has any plugins that could possible overwrite framework records.

Some details and suggestion: generating LODs without FWMF mods installed and putting FWMF bunch below DynDOLOD in plugin LO allows you avoid LODs regenerating after every FWMF update. FWMF affects LOD32 only, it won't break DynDOLOD work. Advised plugin LO:

1. Dyndolod.
2. Occlusions.
3. FWMF package of choice.
4. Patches/fixes (for Water for ENB, Weather/Lighting, RW2 etc, but not for Lux).
5. Additional FWMF maps (alternative Skyrim map, Blackreach, Sovngarde, Forgotten Vale etc).
6. Lux Patch (from FWMF).

You still can stick to standard DynDOLOD generation procedure with MO2 - generate outputs with FWMF on and place DynDOLOD last in plugin LO, it will properly allow FWMF worldspace records win everything else and maps will be working fine. You still need to make sure LOD32s from FWMF winning LOD32 generated by lodgen in mods list. Placing lodgen output higher than FWFM in mod order should be enough in most cases, if it's not - resolve conflict by your mod manager means. Also mind, please, that this way you will need to re-run DynDOLOD every time FWMF gets an update.

To uninstall just uncheck FWMF and its additional maps in your list of mods. In rare cases you may possibly need to make a clean save or restart mod manager.

If you previously used some other map mods check out skyrim.ini for uLockedTerrainLOD value. If you don't have that string or value is 32, you are fine, otherwise change it to 32 (16 there will try to load LOD 16 terrain meshes making paper map invisible).

For Fantasy Paper Maps package please pick Skyrim + Solstheim markers whitelisting at least (and additionally install any Solstheim map available for FWMF).

If Lux or Water for ENB being used, be sure to install their patches for FWMF (either from FWMF FOMOD, or LUX/Water for ENB FOMODs) and put plugins after main FWMF plugin.

Do not use setfog command in autoexec, it will affect map as well.

Since 1.9.9 FWMF FOMOD includes Baka World Map FOV and set world map FOV in FOMOD or manually in config up to your screen: 110 for 16:10, 105 for 16:9 and 90 for UW (21:9). All rights belong to shad0wshayd3.

Since 1.9.9 FWMF FOMOD includes Baka World Map Pan Speed (based on GPLv3 and author's permission) with improved setting for panning speed for Markarth and Skuldafn maps. All rights belong to shad0wshayd3.

I also highly recommend installing Baka World Map Filter (not included in FOMOD). FWMF FOMOD includes optional config for it which prevents opening ugly 3D maps for tiny worldspaces in add-ons like DAc0da, Vigilant, Beyond Reach etc, that don't have paper maps for those small places. You still will be able to use Minimap for navigation, which I also highly recommend.
