Tactical Map Layers

Critical warnings

Important

BepInEx 5 (x64) required - install BepInEx before this mod.

Warning

• Requires maximized tactical map - panel does not appear on small MFD map modes.
• Front line is heuristic - fog-of-war and intel limits apply; untested vs mods that replace tactical map UI root.

Note

Multiplayer safe - read-only client overlays; no gameplay or network changes.

BepInEx 5 plugin for Nuclear Option: on the maximized tactical map, a hotkey-toggled layers panel (default F10) with Tactical / Front / Settings tabs — radar and facility overlays, optional front line, RU/EN UI, BepInEx persistence. Read-only client overlays; no gameplay or network changes.

Plugin GUID: com.at747.tacticalmaplayers
Output DLL: TacticalMapLayers.dll → BepInEx\plugins\

Note

Engine workspace: active development solution lives in source\repos\TacticalMapLayers_Engine\. This repo is the GitHub mirror; keep both trees aligned via robocopy before release.

Limitations

• MP-safe (client overlay only) but untested against mods that replace the tactical map UI root.

Build

From engine workspace (source\repos\TacticalMapLayers_Engine):

1. Open TacticalMapLayers_Engine.sln.
2. Set NuclearOptionRoot in Directory.Build.user.props if needed.
3. Build Release.

msbuild TacticalMapLayers_Engine\TacticalMapLayers_Engine.csproj /p:Configuration=Release

Output: TacticalMapLayers_Engine\bin\Release\TacticalMapLayers.dll

Manual test checklist

1. Enter mission → open maximized tactical map.
2. Press F10 — layers panel appears with three tabs.
3. Enable Enemy ground radars — disks appear at expected sites.
4. Switch Front tab → enable front line — line draws between force clusters.
5. Change UI language to en — labels switch without restart.
6. Close map / pause — panel hides; no errors in BepInEx\LogOutput.log.
