Does anyone know how to make the compas that shows up on the screen right when you connect to a map? I think it is the same as the minimap, but i cant get it to show up. Is it a different IWI file that i have to make?

thanks!

I noticed that there are files in the mapstable file named compass_overlay_map_[mapname]. Does this mean i will need to make the minimap again and name it to that, and add the material line to my CSV file, and add in the IWI to my IWD file

ok, i made the overlay iwi, added the overlay line into my csv file, than opened the mapsTable CSV, and added my map's stuff in there like you said, than i went into the launcher and made the stringtable,maps/mapsTable.csv into the mod.ff. Where do i place this mod.FF file?
