📋 About This Mod
Auto Local Map improves the map experience in Oblivion Remastered by automatically opening the local map when you're inside interiors, dungeons, or cities.
Normally, opening the map (M key) shows the world map first, even when you're exploring a dungeon - which is annoying. This mod fixes that by smartly detecting whether you're indoors or outdoors and adjusting the map view accordingly. No more manually switching to the local map every time you enter a building!
What this does:
- If you're outside, it opens the world map like normal.
- If you're inside a dungeon, city or interior, it automatically shows the local map view.
- Auto zoom out feature. By default, when you switch from local map to world map the zoom in level is maxed out. The mod will automatically zoom out to the configured value.
- The mod is configurable. For example, you can disable the local map from opening automatically in cities, disable map centering or auto zoom out. Config file can be found in AutoLocalMap\scripts\config.lua. Cities and dungeons are enabled by default.
Also, check out M To Close Map, and Open Local Map Key plus Toggle by animandan.
