NoMapWayfinding

NoMap Wayfinding

Takes the minimap away and puts the world map where it belongs: on a cartography table,

showing everything your group has found between them.

What it does

• No minimap. You navigate by looking at the world.
• A compass instead, with the biome you are standing in named underneath it.
• The map key does nothing. Walk up to a cartography table and the map opens; walk away

and it closes.

• One touch shares everything. Using a table merges exploration in both directions, so

anyone who visits leaves with everything the group has found.

• Shouts show up on the compass. When someone shouts, the direction it came from is marked

for two minutes with the game's own shout icon, and turning towards it names who called.

• Tables are not a portable GPS. A newly built table has to stand a while before it can

be read, so one cannot be carried around, planted to check your position, and dismantled

again.

Exploration is still recorded the whole time you are out there. You just cannot look at it

until you reach a table.

The map, at a table

Everything the group has explored, merged. Pins are shared too, so a marker one player left

on a hidden crypt is waiting for the rest of them at the table.

Tuning the compass without leaving the game

Press F7 for a panel with sliders. The compass recolours live behind it, so you can see

what you are choosing rather than guessing at hex values in a text file.

The settling delay

A table you built and left standing is unaffected, and so is every table that already existed

before you installed the mod. Set Table.SettlingSeconds to 0 if you would rather not have

it at all.

Install

Use a mod manager, or copy NoMapWayfinding.dll into \BepInEx\plugins\.

Settings appear at \BepInEx\config\nomapwayfinding.cfg after the first launch and

are read live, so a config manager can change them without a restart.

Multiplayer

Client-side. It changes no world state and no network protocol, so it works on vanilla servers

and alongside players who are not running it.

Install it on a dedicated server as well and the server hands its Map and Table settings to

connecting players who have the mod, for as long as they are connected. Compass appearance is

never sent - that stays each player's own.

A server cannot hide the minimap of a player who does not have the mod. The minimap is drawn

on their machine. If you want the rule to hold for everyone, set the vanilla NoMap world key:

the game itself then removes the minimap and the map key from every client, unmodded ones

included, and this mod adds back the only thing it cannot do - reading the shared map at a table.
