I'd like to make a mod that overwrites (or adds) a simple terrain map mode that also overlays river status (meaning the adjacent_to_major_river and river_floating_through static modifiers) with dark blue lines through the terrain.

I have found map_modes.txt, which defines simple_terrain, which apparently uses "color_mode = simple_terrain" to define what is displayed. I cannot find where the color_mode is defined (maybe it is hardcoded?). That pretty much has put me at a stopping point for figuring this out on my own.


I was wondering if there is a guide, sample map mode, or even a basic map mode mod around that I could look at as a starting point.

I'd appreciate any help or suggested starting points for figuring this out. :)
