Better Icons for mapgenie.io Tarkov Maps 1.1

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.9.X
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

Browser-based "mod" for external mapgenie.io Tarkov maps website. Colorful, rarity-based icons for much better clarity.

This "mod" uses an open-source extension Resource Override to swap markers.png Mapgenie.io uses for it's Tarkov maps for a custom one hosted on my github repository. Works with any Chrome-based browser and Firefox!

Notes:

On my github page I left all the .psd files I used to create this icon pack, feel free to experiment with them yourself.


Code:


Here is overwrite rules file itself:

      "id": "d2",

  • Is this possible to use with CactusPie's Minimap?

    • not currently, but ryn1u on discord is brewing something using them

    • Cant wait to see that. Thanks!

  • Hmm doesnt work for me, do I need to clear cache or sth? I've injected the file you provided, did everything as per instruction.

    • Works after recent update, thank you very much!

  • I don't suppose you could get this to work with CactusPie's Minimap ???

    • Would be nice to be able to see player position. Especially when looting stashes etc.

  • Bro. YES. I could kiss you. Open mouth! EXCELLENT JOB!

  • SPT players have a better mapgenie than regular players now... hehehehehe

    Happy 2
    • Didn't want to post to main subreddit because

      1) to not generate heat from modding IGN owned website

      2) toxic community

      3) meh

    • With everything going on with the cheating situation on EFT last thing this community needs is salty goobers giving SPT a fishy taste in peoples mouths because we have a much better map and a more chilled community ;)

  • Love the colors to categorize everything & how distinct every icon is. Makes readability way better, especially when you don't have the luxury to stare at the map & decipher where things are when action is happening. Actually makes the "Small Icons" option usable too, and can be used either for SPT or Live Tarkov!

  • Wonderfull ! Indeed the icons were awful. It's much better and readable with your mod. Thank you

  • Love this! Good work!

  • 嗨,我的网络不支持我尽快打开地图精灵,有什么方法可以本地化地图精灵吗?这对我来说很重要 ||

    • Not possible, use VPN if you can.

  • thank you so so so much for this, i've always hated how non-distinct the icons on mapgenie were. is there any way to get it on firefox?

  • Bro....


    You're the man!


    Love it

  • I've been researching implementing something like this but in game. Have you looked into that aspect at all? Any in sights you have would be much appreciative!

    • this is going to be by two orders of magnitude more difficult task :)

    • Yes by far. But I think the most difficult part will be the discovery phase figuring how to translate in game coordinates to what ever system EFT uses for their displayed map. 😅

    • I'd love to be able to pop the maps open on my iPad, with MY character icon moving around them... No idea how. Looking for that version of map mods...

  • damn that is so sick, would this work in Opera GX? as chrome for me uses more RAM than Tarkov itself

    • should work for all chrome-based browsers
