README

DAL Compass

A heading bar for the top of your screen, made for the Dropped and Lost world (no map, no pings). It works in any Valheim world.

  • Three looks, F8 cycles them: a heading bar across the top, a round dial in the top-right corner, or a plain text line. Your choice is remembered. F9 shows or hides the compass.
  • Last three deaths: each death leaves a red marker on the bar, newest brightest, with a rounded distance underneath (for example 240 m or 1.2 km). If the spot is behind you, the marker sits at the edge of the bar with an arrow showing which way to turn.
  • A death marker clears by itself when you empty that grave (it vanishes), and the other markers stay, so you can recover several graves one by one.
  • F10 forgets all death markers (a message confirms it).

Install (server owners: this mod is also what lets the server check player mods)

Client only. Put DalCompass.dll in BepInEx/plugins/DALCompass/. The server needs nothing and is never contacted.

Notes

  • Death spots are remembered on your PC only, one file per character and world, in BepInEx/config/DalCompass/. Delete a file to forget it.
  • No coordinates are ever shown, only a direction and a rounded distance.
  • Keys can be changed in BepInEx/config/com.laoch.dalcompass.cfg.
  • Not affected by the in-game HUD scale yet.

Server mod list (optional)

Note for server owners: if you use Lost Camps too, add com.laoch.lostcamps to the mod list, or players who have it will be turned away.

Some servers keep a list of allowed mods. DAL Compass tells the server which BepInEx plugins you run (their ids, versions and file hashes, never your files, name or paths) when you connect. A server without the list ignores it. The same list is saved on your PC at BepInEx/config/DalCompass/my-mods.txt, so an admin can copy it.

If a server rejects you, the reason is in your BepInEx log (for example not allowed: some.mod).
