Charter's Map

# ChartersMap

ChartersMap adds a smooth, always-available minimap to Lethal Company with optional route overlays, personal view mode, map rotation, zoom controls, and NavMesh-based pathing.

Built for players who want better awareness without needing to constantly stare at the ship monitor.

## Features

- Smooth minimap overlay

- Route overlay for ship, main entrance, and fire exits

- NavMesh-based route drawing instead of simple straight-line arrows

- Personal View Mode so the map can follow you without permanently hijacking the ship terminal target

- Map spin mode so the minimap can rotate with your view direction

- Map zoom controls

- UI size controls

- Ship direction marker

- Main entrance routing

- Fire exit routing

- Mineshaft elevator support for main entrance routing

- Multiplayer-friendly design that avoids permanently changing the ship monitor target

## Route Overlay

ChartersMap uses Unity NavMesh pathing where possible, so routes try to follow the actual walkable path instead of drawing a simple direct line through the level.

Route markers:

- `S` - Ship

- `M` - Main entrance / elevator route when applicable

- `F` - Fire exit

## Mineshaft Elevator Support

On mineshaft-style interiors, the main entrance route attempts to point toward the elevator interaction instead of routing to an unreachable entrance position.

This should make the `M` route more useful in mineshaft layouts.

## Important Disclaimer About Locked Doors

Locked doors can interfere with the game’s NavMesh pathfinding.

If a locked door blocks the route to a fire exit, especially in mineshaft interiors, the fire exit path may become slightly buggy or inaccurate. In those cases, ChartersMap may only draw the reachable part of the path, while the `F` marker still shows the fire exit’s actual position.

This is a limitation of how the game’s navigation system handles blocked paths, not a manual route toggle issue.

## Multiplayer Notes

ChartersMap is designed to be multiplayer-friendly. Personal View Mode avoids permanently taking over the ship terminal target.
