This is a mod that adds a walk-through of red dots for each mission on the map itself, highlighting important places and bosses located within. It also shows a "times table" for any mission with a time limit for Masters. The Mission Map (U) generally gives a better view than the World Map does. These maps are heavily based off of Celestia's maps on the Wiki.

Render Image Helper - Stylist Background changed to bright white[edit]

Although an odd wee mod, I have found it infinitely useful in producing high qualities renders. It changes the background of the dye preview/Stylist screens to bright white, making it easy to fuzzy select in any image editing program, (such as gimp)and be removed. When saved in a format which saves alpha levels (such as png's) it helps create images which look rendered.

Render Image Helper - Stylist Background changed to Black[edit]
