Replace your Mini Map with a "less intrusive" Compass Overlay.
Raven800's Compass Overlay v2.0.2
By: Raven800 aka RavenJehuty800
Shoutout: MarqØ for helping find a solution for DX8 & 9 compatibility!
Hey everyone! This mod was inspired by "Bart's Mini Compass" mod. This mod utilizes the same code with a few tweaks and new transparent overlay I designed to make it "less-intrusive" on screen and feel more natural to the HUD/UI. Big thanks/shoutout to BarryBogs for helping out with making the mod compatible with MO2. Should be easier to install now for those using MO2!
DX10 and Up users can click HERE for DX10 and Up version
=Installaiton=
You can use MO2 to install the mod easily for best results, otherwise Simply Drag and drop "gamedata" folder into your Anomaly Directory.
-Optional installations-
Same process, all you're doing is replacing the "zone_map_16.xml" in the ".../configs/ui" folder.
=How to use=
Once the mod is installed simply turn your Mini Map "on" in your settings menu.
=How it works=
What this mod does is simply replace the in-game mini map with a transparent compass overlay while trying to stay as non-intrusive as possible on your hud/ui. Perfect for newcomers or older players who don't like using the mini map but still want some kind of compass to keep their bearings.
=Feedback=
Do feel free to send me feedback. I'll update as needed. Thanks! and Enjoy!
=FAQs=
Q.) Is this mod compatibly with [Mod Name Here]?
A.) As long as the mod in question doesn't modify the game's mini-map files/settings, it should be compatible.
Q.) What Version DirectX can this run on?
A.) This version works with DX 8 and 9 only.
Q.) Does this compass have objective pointers?
A.) Sadly no. This is only a directional Compass and nothing more. Will be tinkering with it some more to see what else i can do with this.
=Known Issues=

its very userful
For some reason I am getting a bug where the compass is not centered and is only visible when I look at a certain direction. I think I have a weird hud problem if it isn't the mod.

I Know this comment is old, but that bug is because this is only for dx8 & dx9, there is other mod for dx10 & dx11 Moddb.com
I am trying to edit the xml files to put the compass on the top instead of at the bottom. any help?
