1. Description
==============

This Additon package has multiple parts that can be used independant from one another. If you have other (small) suggestions on things I should add then let me know!

 - Sneak Icon Limiter - 

This puts a limit on how transparent your sneak icon will/can be. If you don't want to know when you are detected or if you want to make it less obvious this Addition is just the thing for you. You can configure the exact limit by opening up "menus\prefabs\darn\hudreticle_config.xml" and adjust the "_sneakicon_limit" value. The default value is 100 and it should be close to how transparent the icon is under normal non-detected circumstances, if you still notice a bit of difference try adjusting the value. Setting it to 255 means it will be ignored.

 - Map Additions -

Do you always hate it that when you are looking for Fort XYZ you need to hover over each map marker to find it? Well no more, component expands the already existing features for the Map Menu from DarNifiedUI (and DarkUI'd DarN). It consists of two parts which expand the filtering feature for the Map Menu.

A new filter to toggle the names of all the visible map markers. So instead of hovering over each fort marker, you toggle the names on and look it up. It is recommended you first hide all the other mapmarker types else your map will be cluttered with names you aren't interested at that moment. For those that do not know this yet, go to the map menu and click the small button in the lower right corner of the map. Then a menu pops up where you can toggle the names (along with all the other possible filters from DarNifiedUI or DarkUI'd DarN). See screenshots for more info if needed.

When you toggle the map marker names on, some may overlap. You can mouseover a name that is behind something to put it on top. The position of the names (left or right of the map marker icon) depends on the position of the map marker on the screen. So you can also try moving the map a bit.

A second component of the Map Additions is the ability to expand or create new map marker filters. After playing with the Map Marker Overhaul mod for a while I noticed that the awesome new icons were unaffected by any of the existing filters. Thus I set out to explore my options and with good results. By default the filters are the same as in standard DarNifiedUI with the additions of the new mapmarkers for Ayleid Wells, Wayshrines and Magic Stones added by Map Marker Overhaul. To configure things further open up "menus\prefabs\darn\map_config.xml" and scroll a bit down. Further documentation can be found there.

=Important Update=
Version 2.0.0 had a huge lag problem when opening the map with alot of map markers. To indicate what kind of numbers we're talking about and how much better it is in v2.1.0. I tested it with all map markers visible (almost 400!) and just opening the map menu.

In the standard DarNifiedUI the lag was a little below 2 seconds. Compared to the lag with the vanilla UI, which is a little above 1 second, it's not so bad considering ALL map markers were shown.

In v2.0.0 the lag was close to 10 seconds. A very big problem as you can understand and it made the mod unplayable for users that have explored alot of the map.

In v2.1.0 the lag went back to the original value of a little below 2 seconds. Which is acceptable in my book.

In v2.2.0 the lag stayed approx. the same.

* DarN for making DarNifiedUI. This mod is only a small extension of the already awesomeness that DarNifiedUI adds to the map. :)
* Gothic251 for making DarkUI'd DarN
* Compass for the original question of displaying the names of all visible map markers. Although it wasn't a request, that question did lead me to investigate the possibility.
