This works great with bettermaps mod when you get the auto hide version(https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2256?tab=description)
The trackers do show when zoomed, so when you open map you have to zoom out to not see them. Just blink real quick. You still see the yellow circles unfortunately. Also I dont use steam (avoiding download. booting with bg3_dx11 ) so I had to put this mod in data.
The yellow circles still show however. And I have yet to find a mod that deals with it.
And I assume people want this mod for immersion so here are the other mods I got to hid map/sidebar/bottombar Make sure to get auto hide versions https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2256?tab=description https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2668?tab=description + https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/4968 https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2417
This was frustrating me too, and I finally figured out the cause (after going so far as to unpack and repack the game files themselves, rather than relying on a modding interface, and going "how the hell are they still THERE? Those images aren't even in the game files!!! ...They must still be there somewhere.")
There are also low-res versions, which these files aren't replacing. My guess is they were added in a more recent patch. Here is a download link for transparent replacements for both the high and low res versions, including the minimap ones that aleeg91 found. Installing them by dropping the "Public/..." folder inside your game's "Data" folder is still working for me.
Hey there! Thanks for the mod. Works wonders for the Map, but the markers still show in the minimap, so it defeats the purpose somewhat.
Two questions for you: Is it possible to completely remove the markers from the minimap by making transparent the circles that still show? On that note, could the same method you've used to make the markers transparent also be used to make the whole minimap transparent? I'm really not fond of having the minimap there. Thanks in advance!
Edit: I've found the culprit textures that remain indicating when there's a quest marker off-screen (Minimap). They are both located in Baldur's Gate 3\Data\Public\Game\GUI\Assets\Map and are named offScreen_quest.DDS and offScreen_quest_h.DDS. I edited them both to be transparent and now there's no quest markers on the minimap when the objective is off-screen.
One more thing... What compression format are you using when saving the .DDS files? I used BC7 and it seemed to work fine for a transparent texture but I'm not sure it's the correct one overall. Thanks in advance.
I edited both files with Paint.Net which is a free editing tool that has .DDS support. If you need any help or if you prefer for me to send you the files, just say so.
@aleeg91 Would you be able to send me the files also? The steam version doesn't have the files available to edit as they're all packed into .pak files but placing the individual files into the respective folders works.

That would be nice, I'm interested in it too
somewhat.
