MIniMap

Minimalist minimap mod for Lethal Company. Displays the ship radar directly on your HUD so you can track teammates, scrap, and threats without returning to the ship monitor. Minimalist minimap mod for Lethal Company. Displays the ship radar directly on your HUD so you can track teammates, scrap, and threats without returning to the ship monitor.

Inspired by LethalCompanyMinimap by tyzeron; reworked into a lightweight HUD overlay with BepInEx config and custom target-switching logic.

Note: Starting from version 1.1.6, invertigo260 joined the development, completely overhauling the camera system, zoom levels, target tracking logic, and input handling.

Features

• HUD overlay — radar view in the top-right corner of your screen.
• Independent Minimap Camera (v1.1.6+) — separate Camera and RenderTexture wired directly into the minimap UI to avoid interfering with the ship's main monitor.
• Separate Target Tracking (v1.1.6+) — uses CustomTarget/CustomTargetIndex so cycling minimap targets no longer disrupts ship radar operations.
• Zoom Controls (v1.1.6+) — dynamic zoom level cycling on hotkey press.
• Smart Resource Management (v1.1.6+) — automatically disables the camera during ship phase to save system resources.
• Persistent State — toggle on/off with F2; preference saved in BepInEx config.
• Typing Protection (v1.1.6+) — hotkeys are automatically suppressed while typing in chat or using the terminal.
• HUD Tip Feedback (v1.1.6+) — displays a visual HUD tip notification when toggling the minimap.
• Auto-rotate & Icon Correction — map rotates with target view while keeping icons upright.

Controls

Action	Key	Description
Toggle minimap	F2	Show/hide minimap, show HUD tip, and save state to config

Developer Contributions (v1.1.6 Update by invertigo260)

The v1.1.6 release introduces major structural improvements designed and implemented by invertigo260:

• Independent Camera & RenderTexture: Created a dedicated camera system wired into the minimap UI, complete with full lifecycle management (initialization, recreation, and resource release). Automatically powers off during the ship phase to minimize performance impact.
• Decoupled Target Tracking (CustomTarget / CustomTargetIndex): Implemented standalone target state handling and SwitchKey processing, making the minimap completely independent of ship radar selection.
• Zoom & Positioning Pipeline: Integrated ZoomKey, ZoomLevels, and currentZoomIndex cycling, alongside a per-frame UpdateMinimapCamera method to control positioning and rotation smoothly.
• Input & UX Improvements: Added context-aware input checks that block hotkey activation while typing or using the terminal, and added instant HUD tips on state toggle.
• Refactoring: Removed legacy update logic and obsolete blocking patches for cleaner code execution.

Минималистичная миникарта для Lethal Company.

Начиная с версии 1.1.6, в разработке мода принимает участие invertigo260, полностью переработавший архитектуру камеры, систему зума и логику целей.

Что нового сделал invertigo260 (v1.1.6+):

• Независимая камера и RenderTexture: Камера миникарты работает отдельно от судового монитора, ресурсоемкость оптимизирована (отключается во время фазы корабля).
• Собственные цели (CustomTarget / CustomTargetIndex): Переключение целей на миникарте больше не сбивает радар на корабле.
• Система зума: Добавлено цикличное изменение масштаба карт (ZoomKey, ZoomLevels, currentZoomIndex) и логика UpdateMinimapCamera.
• Улучшенный ввод: Горячие клавиши больше не срабатывают при наборе текста в чате или терминале.
• HUD-уведомления: При переключении миникарты высвечивается подсказка на экране.
