In ArcGIS Pro add  "World Topographic (for Export)"  - The vector tile layer (mouse hover over the search result to confirm its type is vector tile layer), to an empty map. Search ArcGIS online and add it. To download at fullscale  1:283 you will need to download in two parts. Zoom in just far enough to be offered 1:283 in the map download button   Download the map -  This will add a layer to your map that references a .vtpk file download to your computer. Pan your map and do this again to get the rest of New Zealand. You will get something like this.   note the vector tiles will add up to 350 mb +- in file size at 1:253 scale. If you also want the hillshade to go along with it, that will be additional file size depending on desired resolution. In a new map add Terrain Multi Directional Hillshade from the Living Atlas. Zoom the Map to your desired extent. Right Click on the Map in the Contents - click Properties and set the Extent (Use a custom extent) and set to current visible extent. Next use the "Create Map Tile Package" geoprocessing tool to create a Tile Package (TPKX) of the hillshade content.   Level of Detail 11 for the pictured extent results in a 90 mb tpkx file.   RIght click on the Map Tile Package layer that you created and copy it to your clipboard.   Paste this layer into the map with your Vector Tile Layers. Next in the Project Pane convert the map to a BaseMap   Then Create a New Map and select your basemap from the basemap gallery.   Add other content to the Map and use Create Mobile Map Package to create the .MMPK Note: the vector data and reference labels are in the same layer, added layers will appear on top of the labels. Since the above steps are using Vector Tiles, the map will not be blurry and you will crisp detail when zoomed in.           ... View more

@Anonymous User while it would require manually modifying the internal styling of the .vtpk to achieve what is wanted for a side loading scenario,  you can share the layer from ArcGIS Pro creating a layer package.  The layer package can then be used in other projects  and maps with the desired style. ...

Using ArcGIS Pro 2.7 and the current version of Fieldmaps, the downloaded basemap in ArcGIS Pro can work.   When creating the  mobile map package you need to use the Layer that is added to the map.          The desired style properties are stored in the Layer.   Fieldmaps will use this style when it is available.   Browsing for the .vtpk file that is download to the file system and adding that to the map will not work as desired.    ...

I have entered an issue for this.   The Map load uses the 'first layer in the map to initialize' and when the data source is not accessible it fails to load.   To work around this problem put a disconnected layer (a file based layer) as the bottom layer in your map.   On map load the app will initialize the bottom layer first and load the map. To apply the workaround to your map In ArcGIS Pro. Insert a new basemap   Then add the Basemap layers of your choice to this basemap.  Search Online and add...   Then add another file based layer that will be packaged into the map.  I would suggest using a Vector Tile Package.  I created this one https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=07b04d145b86410eaf5c5c42a78d8e95  its Level of Detail 1 - just background. Make sure it is the bottom layer in the map. Then use this as the Basemap for your Map.   For those that are not using a basemap (its good practice to always have one when creating a Mobile Map Package) make sure your bottom operational layer is in the package, and not a referenced online layer.

no, I did not modify the info folder.  The info folder is all of the font references.   It is possible that the fonts could not be quite the same, if the external style is making use of a font that is not in the internal style. ... View more
