📋 About This Mod
Complete rework on vanilla HUD, rangefinder with actual overlay, no gameplay changes. Includes optional vers. with bottom left compass.
NEW: optional version requested by bayunashr with a bottom left compass so the challenge board is not overlapping with it.
FEATURES:
Reworked objects placement (feels like a more modern and less intrusive HUD now)
Smaller FPV icons that don't affect icons on map (finally! XD)
Detection only shows up if it is affected by noise/smell cover/visibility, witch means if you lay down not moving,these icons won't appear
(each status icon works independently from the two others)
No more weird animal portraits when looking at clues/binoculars
Redone Laser Rangefinder
More sober colors, mainly white à la WOTH, with a slight darker background to still be readable in contrast for snowy maps
Rotating compass has a dedicated corner, you can now read the headings
Wind direction as a needle instead of a blurry cone
Selectable perks like zeroing moved under the compass area and made more discreet
