Fast Map

Fast Map replaces Vintage Story’s vanilla world-map terrain layer with a client-side page cache. Once explored map terrain has been rendered, Fast Map stores larger GPU-ready page snapshots on disk and reloads them in later sessions instead of repeatedly regen

About this project

What does Fast Map add?

Fast Map replaces Vintage Story’s vanilla world-map terrain layer with a client-side page cache. Once explored map terrain has been rendered, Fast Map stores larger GPU-ready page snapshots on disk and reloads them in later sessions instead of repeatedly regenerating the same map chunks.

There are 1.21 versions in the files tab!

Fast Map v5 is out now, adding support for pregenerating map data.

If you would like to use the Pregen feature, please install Algernon's Terrain Sampler Lib, at least v.1.3.0
Thank you Algernon for all of your help!

If the Terrain Sampler is detected, a Pregen layer will show up. This is disabled by default.






Things to know:

  • Client-side only.
  • Preserves vanilla fog-of-war behavior.
  • First-time discovery still needs map pixels to be generated.
  • Cache files live in VintagestoryData/FastMap/<world-id>/pages-v*.
  • Deleting that folder resets the cache for a world.
  • Config Lib support is included for in-game tuning.
  • Map caches can get big, fast. Worth it.
