📋 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

INSTALL:

-put the "dropzone" folder at your main game directory

-copy this to your Steam launcher options:

--vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive archives_win64 --vfs-archive patch_win64 --vfs-archive dlc_win64 --vfs-fs .

IMPORTANT: in order to have the compass working, be sure it is set as "free" in your game interface parameters
