📋 About This Mod

This is a simple utility that uses the in-game console (F5) to dump a list of pins to a text file, which can be edited or shared and imported also using the console.

There is also a console command to clear all custom pins from the map.

Console Commands:

  • []mappinexport export - exports current custom pins to BepInEx\plugins\MapPinExport\pindump.txt

    []mappinexport export <name> - exports current custom pins to BepInEx\plugins\MapPinExport\<name>.txt

    []mappinexport clear - clears all custom pins from the map

    []mappinexport import - imports custom pins from BepInEx\plugins\MapPinExport\pindump.txt

    []mappinexport import <name> - imports custom pins from BepInEx\plugins\MapPinExport\<name>.txt

    Imported pins are added to existing pins, rather than replacing them.

    Pin Types

    Pin type affects the icon used to show the pin.

    The mod only exports pins with type 0 to 3 (the four custom pin types), because that's the only way to tell they were created by a player rather than the game.

    When importing, however, you can choose any number from 0 to 13, as follows:

    • []0 = Icon0

      []1 = Icon1

      []2 = Icon2

      [] 3 = Icon3

      []4 = Death

      []5 = Bed

      []6 = Icon4

      []7 = Shout

      []8 = None

      []9 = Boss

      []10 = Player

      []11 = RandomEvent

      []12 = Ping

    • 13 = EventArea

      I'm not sure whether choosing a pintype greater than 3 will have any unforseen consequences.

      Technical

      To install this mod, place the dll file in the BepInEx/plugins folder. You will need BepInEx.
