About this mod Author’s original text

MIniMap

Minimalist minimap mod for Lethal Company. Displays the ship radar directly on your HUD so you can track teammates, scrap, and threats without returning to the ship monitor.

Inspired by LethalCompanyMinimap by tyzeron; reworked into a lightweight HUD overlay with BepInEx config and custom target-switching logic.

Note: Starting from version 1.1.6, invertigo260 joined the development, completely overhauling the camera system, zoom levels, target tracking logic, and input handling.

Features

  • HUD overlay — radar view in the top-right corner of your screen.
  • Interactive Edit Mode (v1.1.6+) — Hold F2 for 2 seconds to unlock the cursor. Drag the map to reposition it on your screen, or drag its edges to dynamically resize it while maintaining a perfect square.
  • Independent Minimap Camera (v1.1.6+) — separate Camera and RenderTexture wired directly into the minimap UI to avoid interfering with the ship's main monitor.
  • Separate Target Tracking (v1.1.6+) — uses CustomTarget/CustomTargetIndex so cycling minimap targets no longer disrupts ship radar operations.
  • Zoom Controls (v1.1.6+) — dynamic zoom level cycling on hotkey press.
  • Smart Resource Management (v1.1.6+) — automatically disables the camera during ship phase to save system resources.
  • Persistent State — toggle on/off with F2; preference saved in BepInEx config.
  • Typing Protection (v1.1.6+) — hotkeys are automatically suppressed while typing in chat or using the terminal.
  • HUD Tip Feedback (v1.1.6+) — displays a visual HUD tip notification when toggling the minimap.
  • Auto-rotate & Icon Correction — map rotates with target view while keeping icons upright.

Controls

| Action | Key | Description |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Toggle minimap | F2 (Press) | Show/hide minimap, show HUD tip, and save state to config |

| Zoom minimap | F4 | Cycle through available zoom levels (ZoomLevels) |

Developer Contributions (v1.1.6 Update by invertigo260)

The v1.1.6 release introduces major structural improvements designed and implemented by invertigo260:

  • Interactive UI Edit Mode: Designed a Canvas-aware scaling system to convert screen space coordinates to local UI positions, allowing players to drag and resize the minimap in real-time without breaking player look inputs.
  • Independent Camera & RenderTexture: Created a dedicated camera system wired into the minimap UI, complete with full lifecycle management (initialization, recreation, and resource release). Automatically powers off during the ship phase to minimize performance impact.
  • Decoupled Target Tracking (CustomTarget / CustomTargetIndex): Implemented standalone target state handling and SwitchKey processing, making the minimap completely independent of ship radar selection.
  • Zoom & Positioning Pipeline: Integrated ZoomKey, ZoomLevels, and currentZoomIndex cycling, alongside a per-frame UpdateMinimapCamera method to control positioning and rotation smoothly.
  • Input & UX Improvements: Added context-aware input checks that block hotkey activation while typing or using the terminal, and added instant HUD tips on state toggle.
  • Refactoring: Removed legacy update logic and obsolete blocking patches for cleaner code execution.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
