Hey, You may or may not know me from making the Antarctica Map about 5 months ago. I am on my way to continue the project and going to completely remake it. This time I will make it require ProMods and actually have a Background Map. Though, I do not know how to make a background map or make it work in 1:19 and get a picture of it. I need a map of Antarctica that is 1:19 :)

You have to prepare this map yourself and scale it correctly to fit the map in game.

There's no step by step tutorial. You have to figure it out yourself.
I only made a 1:2 background map (for editor and in game) once, so I don't remember anymore, but I just checked existing files and experimented for few hours until it was tweaked nicely.

Yeah I've checked the logs, theres no errors at all in there.

Ok, I figured it out, it was because of promods. I'm trying to make it as a addon for promods but when I have the promods files in it says texture not found.

So it was because of promods, the promods files made it say texture not found. How could I have promods and the background work at the same time?
