# Vintage Story Manual Cartography Draft version of mod containing a bunch of items to make it possible to make maps manually by hand. This mod is meant to be used as an alternative to just using regular world map. ## Setup In order to build this mod, you have to set up your development environment. This is mainly covered by the [Vintage Story Wiki](https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Special:MyLanguage/Modding:Preparing_For_Code_Mods). But the most important part there is to add the Vintage Story diretcory into `VINTAGE_STORY` environment variable, just so your IDE could pick up the game classes from their DLLs. As an example, on Linux, I'm using `fish` as my shell of choice and I have Vintage Story installed under `~/.local/share/vintagestory`. So I had to add this entry into my `fish` config located under `~/.config/fish/config.fish`: ```shell export VINTAGE_STORY="$HOME/.local/share/vintagestory" ``` And after logging out and logging back in, IDE will start pick up Vintage Story's classes.
