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.
- 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.
- Go to the Release page of this repository https://github.com/ArmanHZ/Outward-MapPlayerMarker-Mod/releases and install the latest versions of MapPlayerMarker.dll and custom_player_marker.png.
- Go to your Outward directory by Steam\steamapps\common\Outward or in your steam library, right click on Outward and click on Properties, Local Files, and then Browse Local Files.
- REMINDER: You must be on the Mono (modding) branch. Refer to the first item on the list.
- Place the MapPlayerMarker.dll file into Outward\BepInEx\plugins folder.
- Place the custom_player_marker.png file into Outward\Mods\MapPlayerMarker folder.
- 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.
- You can change the custom_player_marker.png as you wish.
- 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.
- Add pictures of the mod.
