Adding New Map Marker Types Icons ?

Post » Sun Jun 24, 2012 1:38 pm

Hi there!,

First I will say I apologize in advance if this has been covered / discussed, I had done a little searching and hadn't crossed what I am looking for, so I thought I would ask.

My question is: Is it possible to add a new map marker icon (Without replacing any), which would also lead to adding new map marker categories (Vanilla examples are Caves, Ruins, Villages, etc) ? Basically I am doing a fairly reasonable size mod that will be heavily centered around a large scale city I am adding, and since this is a large city on par with Riften, Solitude, etc etc, I wanted to make a custom icon to display on the map for it, much like how the others have their own unique marker.

Is this possible at all? I would MUCH prefer to do this even if it's more work rather than giving it the generic 'town' marker or similiar. If it is possible, how do I go about doing it?? If it isnt something I can do in the CK itself, is it possible w/ outside tools, and if so, which? Also, assuming it IS possible, does anyone know the size said markers are meant to be? (pixel x pixel)

I hope I am semi clear on what I am getting at, I apologize it isnt super late but I am getting tired lol. I also apologize if this should be in a different category, but beings as I am not sure if the CK can do this or not, I just went w/ the CK section :) Feel free to move if needed, thanks!

Here's to hoping this is doable, and thank you all in advance! Happy modding!

I was going to post the same question but then I found this thread so I'll bump it instead.

I have the exact same problem, I'm doing a city and I'd like it to have its own unique icon on the map, instead of the generic town icon.

I looked in the CK but I couldn't find anything. Can anyone shed some light over this?
