MapImprovements
Twice as big map icons for shops, buildings, your marker and tracked people. The map stays drawn when you change floor or reopen it, vending and El Gen machines get icons, and control rooms show on every floor.Map Improvements
A BepInEx (mod loader) plugin for Shadows of Doubt. A map that is easier to read and quicker to open.

What it does
-
Bigger icons: shops, businesses and buildings, your own marker and the markers for people and objects you track are twice the size, so they are easy to spot at any zoom.
-
Persistent map: buildings already drawn stay drawn, across floors and while the map is closed, so the map no longer redraws every time you change floor or open it. New information, such as a blueprint or a newly explored room, still updates that building.
-
Icons for useful machines: vending, cola, snack and cigarette machines, coffee machines, El Gen machines and police automats get their own icon, so you can find a drink or a sync disk machine at a glance.
-
Control rooms on every floor: a control room shows its camera icon on its own floor, and a faded one on every other floor of its building, so you can see from anywhere in a building where its control room is.
-
Bodies on the map: once a body has been found, a marker shows where it lies: solid on its own floor, faded on the other floors of its building, so you can find a crime scene again from anywhere.
-
Plays nice with other map mods: if another mod already resizes your own marker, that size is kept.
