NordGuide
NordGuide is a lightweight Valheim mod that adds a clean, skyrim-styled guidance layer to exploration: a subtle compass and useful markers.
CHANGELOG
Changelog
v1.0.0
- Initial stable release of NordGuide.
- Compass bar with N/E/S/W and tick marks.
- Correct UV/aspect handling for packed/trimmed/rotated sprites (
DataUtility.GetOuterUV+textureRect). - Distance-based scaling for POIs with visible effect; configurable disappearance distance (PoiDisappearDistance).
- Smooth distance fade to disappearance (config:
POI Disappear Distance). - Ping animation (pulsing) like the minimap.
- Option to hide the small HUD minimap; world map (
M) unaffected. - Layout derived from bgTexture dimensions (supports new 1400x150 bar asset).
- Usable height/width factors so POIs and cardinals scale to the bar’s usable area.
- Compass position and size parameters simplified (top offset, width percent or height-based sizing).
v1.0.1
- Embedded PNG assets and runtime loader (AssetsManager) with normalized resource keys.
- Locale auto-detection (Portuguese vs others) with dynamic swap of E/W ↔ L/O cardinals and hot-reload on language change.
- Language check moved to PlayerPrefs("language") with Unity system language as fallback; periodic check in Update with low cost.
- Edge fade behavior tuned via VisibleSpanDeg, EdgeFadeInnerFrac, and a reduced usable horizontal span to fade before the frame.
- POI and cardinal sizes tied to the bar’s height for consistent proportions across resolutions.
- Minimap icon rendering now uses Sprite outer UVs and textureRect to avoid atlas packing issues.
v1.0.1
- Refactored some code and corrected some texts.
