About this mod

(OpenMW exclusive) The compass now needs to be used manually, you do not have the arrow automatically telling where you are facing anymore

Manual Compass


The big arrow in the map and mini-map implies that the main character always knows the direction is facing.
I always thought the Nerevarine has a compass and gives it a quick glance all the times the player checks one of the maps.

The mod makes the compass a physical object in the game world, so you can drop the compass and see the needle point to North or to know where your character is facing using it.

The mod also removes the compass arrow from the map and the mini-map. Now you need to understand manually where you are facing.

The Compass is shortcut-key (press F1 in game to see) friendly, add it to the short cut menu to use with ease.


Interiors

Interiors' north is dictated by a special object called "NorthMarker." All reachable Morrowind.esm interiors have it. But, in other mods it may be missing.
If that's the case the compass will point to an arbitrary direction as north.


Acknowledgement

The work is based on the existing work of Luthor.

I updated the scripts so that the compass works also in interiors, added the quick-key functions, and removed the overlay arrow from the mini map.

In the archive are also included the original esp files: check the luthor directory.  The original esp files work also in morrowind.exe, but won't point correctly on interiors.
