How to disable the minimap on the HUD:

If you want a greater challenge by disabling the vanilla compass, here's how to do that with this mod:

• []Make sure Wayfarer's Atlas is currently set not to disable the vanilla map.

  []Go into the inventory. See the vanilla map and pin it (click on the button at the very right of the top of the window).

  []The minimap found on the HUD should now be disabled, but because the vanilla map is now pinned, it replaces it on the HUD.

  []Go into Wayfarer's Atlas settings to now disable the vanilla map.

  []Either type "reloadlua" into the console and press enter, or restart the game.

  []Both the vanilla map and the minimap on the HUD should now be disabled. Have fun getting lost!

  Adding new maps:

  To create a new map pack, you currently have to write one for Map and Compass. Therefore, instructions for creating Map and Compass map packs applies to this mod as well.
  • []Place map packs under Data Files/MWSE/mods/Map and Compass.

    []All map packs are a folder with a maps.lua file. Check out the included "Example Map Pack" for a template to adapt.

    []Map image must either be DDS or TGA.

    []Map image width and height must be powers of 2 (256x512, 2048x1024, etc). Since few maps perfectly fit this, you need to round up to the nearest power of 2 and fill the remaining space with total transparency.

    This is easy in Paint. NET: Image -> Canvas Size -> Set width and height to nearest power of 2. This will fill the remaining space with transparency and align the real image to the top left. Save.[]Link up your map image(s) in the maps.lua file in your map pack. Set the real width and height of the image before padding with transparency.

    Recommended mods:

    • []The original Map and Compass, as this contains some useful map packs.

      []Map Replacements for Maps and Compass Wagner Style - Brujoloco Edition, to make some built-in Map and Compass map packs look more weathered and realistic. Highly recommended.

      []The Gridmap Pack for Map and Compass - Brujoloco Edition, for more map variety that also covers Tamriel Rebuilt areas and provinces.
