Outward MapPlayerMarker Mod

This is a simple map marker mod for Outward. This mod shows the player position and the direction they are looking at.

While making this mod, I have used some code from https://github.com/sinaioutlander/Outward-Mods. The mentioned repository also contains a lot of different mods.

Installation

1. This mod (also a lot of other Outward mods) requires BepInEx. In order to install BepInEx and learn how to install mods in general, please follow the well written guide in https://outward.gamepedia.com/Installing_Mods.

   1. It this is your first mod, the Mods folder will not exists, simply create the Mods folder and the MapPlayerMarker folder inside the Mods folder.
   2. You can change the custom_player_marker.png as you wish.

Known Bugs

• Sometimes when opening the map, an NPC will also get his or her marker updated and it will show as the mod's marker. In the code, I always use the Game's method IsAI() before drawing. I suspect that, this bug is caused in the Game's method. However it does not affect you, nor your gameplay in anyway.
  • If you know a fix to this, please create an Issue.
• In co-op, the direction of the marker of the players will be the same, however the position is displayed correctly.

Todo

• Add pictures of the mod.
