📋 About This Mod

A Skyrim-style compass bar for The Witcher 3 Next-Gen & Classic

Modern Compass Navigation

A Skyrim-style compass bar for The Witcher 3 Next-Gen - a slim, elegant strip at the top of the screen showing where everything is: your quests, herbs, enemies, points of interest, merchants, signposts and custom map pins, each with its real in-game map icon and live distance. Stop opening the map every twenty seconds.

Recommendation for total immersion: turn of mini map completely when you use this mod.

Features

  • []Supported for both next-gen and classic![/]

    []Witcher-styled compass strip[/]

    []Real map-pin icons - markers use the actual minimap artwork (herbs, enemies, quests, blacksmiths, notice boards, places of power...)[/]

    []Every marker type, individually configurable (own toggle + own range slider):

    []Tracked quest - gold-backed marker, always visible at any distance[/]

    []Other quest markers - yes, quests you are NOT tracking, something even the vanilla map doesn't show[/]

    []Available quests (!) - nearby quest givers you haven't picked up yet[/]

    []Herbs, enemies (including lootable corpses), points of interest[/]

    []NPCs and services - shopkeepers, blacksmiths, armorers, herbalists, innkeeps, notice boards and more[/]

    []Fast travel signposts and custom map pins (your own waypoints, unlimited range)[/]

[/]

[]Weather & Time[/]

[]Buffed Monsters Indicator[/]

[]Distance labels under every icon (globally toggleable)[/]

[]Show it your way - always, only during Witcher Senses, only on horseback, or never; optional hide-during-combat; top or bottom of screen[/]

[]Fully adjustable look - size, height, width, vertical\horizontal offsets and opacity sliders; every setting applies instantly, live during gameplay[/]

[]Localized in all 17 game languages[/]

Installation

1. Main mod (required) - install with Vortex, or extract manually so you get:

The Witcher 3\Mods\modModernCompassNavigation\content\...2. Settings menu (optional, recommended) - open bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\dx11filelist.txt in any text editor and add this line at the end (trailing semicolon included):

modCompassNavigation.xml;Do the same in dx12filelist.txt in the same folder. (Next-gen only loads menu XMLs listed in those two files - or use Menu Filelist Updater to do it automatically OR install the mod using The Witcher Mod Manager to automatically configure it.)

Without this file the mod simply uses its defaults - it works fine either way.
