Spotter's Compass (All Languages)

After 4 years, my main complaint has remained much the same. Where in the Host's name is this deer that my character has spotted? "Enemy", you say? Where?? Well, with this mod, you will no longer waste your time playing hide-and-seek with enemies and animals that your character supposedly already knows where they are. No longer!

Whenever your character spots something or shouts "Enemy!", you will now know where to look!

• []When spotting an animal/NPC/enemy, the mod adds the cardinal direction, in parentheses, pointing towards the spotted entity at the time that it was spotted. For example, if your character spots a hedgehog towards the bottom left, you will get the message "Hedgehog (South-West) is spotted" instead of simply "Hedgehog is spotted".

  []Whenever your character shouts "Enemy!", the mod adds the cardinal direction to the shout, such as "Enemy to the South-West!". This will point towards the entity that, by turning hostile, triggered that shout.

  []The mod has been fully localized in all 12 languages supported by Stoneshard at this time: Russian, English, Chinese, German, Spanish (LATAM), French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean.

• []I might add a couple of toggles in the settings menu, to deactivate one or both of the added cardinal directions, if enough people care about that.
