Cartur's Compass and Clock

A compass bar across the top of the screen, with your map pins on it at their real bearing.

The bar, the clock and the nearest pin's name

In game

  • A pin at your two o'clock appears at your two o'clock. Read straight from the in-game map, with the same icons.
  • Icons grow and brighten as you close on them.
  • The pin nearest the centre shows its name and distance. One at a time.
  • A clock above the bar names the part of the day — Dawn 42 - 6:40 AM, Night 43 - 12:15 AM — so you know whether it is safe out without doing the arithmetic.
  • Hides itself while the map, your inventory or the menu is open.
  • Pins you have ticked off don't show, and nor do emptied chests if you also run Cartur's Map Pins.

Settings

BepInEx/config/com.jekkle.valheim.carturcompassandclock.cfg. Changes apply live.

Setting Default What it does
PinRange 300 Metres. Pins further out don't show.
FieldOfView 90 Degrees of heading visible across the bar.
ShowPinNames true Name and distance of the centred pin.
TwelveHourClock true 1:05 PM. Off gives 13:05.
FrameWidth 657 Bar width, on a 1920x1080 basis. Scales with your resolution.

FrameOffsetY 54 Gap from the top of the screen down to the bar.
EditMode false Drag the compass around the screen — see below.

Moving and resizing it

  1. Turn on EditMode.
  2. Open your inventory, so you have a free cursor.
  3. Drag the box to move it. Drag the grip on its right edge to resize it.
  4. Turn EditMode back off.

Where you drop it is written back to the three layout settings, so it survives restarts and you can still fine-tune the numbers by hand.

Install

Use a mod manager (r2modman / Thunderstore / Gale) and it pulls in BepInEx for you. Manually: drop CarturCompassAndClock.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

Client-side. The server doesn't need it and neither do the people you play with.
