- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Updated for v1.22 by IcemanSR. Not FHUD compatible at the moment.
You will propably have to redo the changes made to input.settings and input.xml!
You just want to check which shopkeeper is nearby or which location you haven't explored yet?
No need to open the main map anymore, this mod provides a quick and bigger minimap you can toggle with a customizable hotkey. This is similar features as in many popular games where you can open a bigger minimap.
This does not replace the normal minimap or alters its behaviour in any way, it just adds a useful hotkey to give you a bigger minimap where you can see more of your surroundings. Press the hotkey again and the normal minimap appears again.
