A navigation and HUD enhancement mod Cartur's Compass and Clock for Valheim that introduces a Skyrim-style horizontal compass bar across the top of the screen alongside a contextual in-game clock. Styled with a carved wooden aesthetic, the compass projects active world map markers onto their true bearings with dynamic distance scaling and opacity. The top-mounted clock tracks the current day count, digital time, and named daylight phases corresponding directly to the engine's sleep and nocturnal creature spawn windows.
Key Features:
- Skyrim-Style Compass Bar: Carved wooden navigation bar along the upper screen edge displaying cardinal points (N, NE, E, etc.) with tick marks every 15 degrees.
- True Bearing Pin Placement: Pins are rendered directly from the in-game map using their native icons, mapped to your actual camera perspective (a pin at your two o'clock appears directly at two o'clock on the bar).
- Distance Scaling & Opacity: Marker icons scale and brighten dynamically as you close the distance—appearing faint and compact at maximum tracking range, and scaling to twice the size with full opacity when standing nearby.
- Center-Focus Labeling: Only the single pin closest to the center crosshair displays its name and distance in meters beneath the bar, preventing text overlaps.
- Context-Aware HUD Hiding: Automatically hides itself while the full world map, inventory screen, or pause menu is open, as well as during full HUD toggle-off states.
- Daytime Phase Clock: Displays time and day count in Valheim's native serif typeface directly above the bar, naming the active phase of the day (e.g., Dawn 42 — 6:40 AM, Dusk 42 — 5:20 PM, Night 43 — 12:15 AM). "Night" runs from 18:00 to 06:00 (aligning with bed usability and night-spawning mechanics), while "Dusk" serves as a 2-hour pre-nightfall warning.
Intelligent Pin Suppression:
- Hides completed/checked-off map pins;
- Hides emptied structure chests when running in tandem with Cartur's Map Pins;
- Hides any pin within an 8-meter radius to prevent icons from wildly oscillating across the bar when standing directly on top of a node.
Installation Instructions:
- Ensure BepInEx for Valheim is installed.
- Download the CarturCompassAndClock.dll file.
- Place CarturCompassAndClock.dll into your plugins directory:
<Valheim_Directory>\BepInEx\plugins\. - Launch the game.
