Nova Minimap and waypoints
Nova has a minimap and waypoints built in, so you can find your base, the place you died and anything you mark without installing another mod.
The minimap
A top-down map of the world around you, as a widget you can place anywhere on the HUD. It only shows players you can actually see, so it never gives away anyone behind a wall.
Waypoints
- Mark a place and find it again: its marker shows on screen as you look around.
- A death marker appears after every death, so you can get back to your items.
- Markers clear when you reach them.
- Markers draw correctly with shaders on.
- On server networks, waypoints are kept separately for each sub-server.
Private
Your waypoints stay yours. Sharing a preset or config never shares your markers, and other players never see them.
Questions
Do other players see my waypoints?
No. Waypoints are private: they are left out when you share a preset, and other players never see them.
Does the minimap show other players?
Only players you can already see. It does not show anyone behind walls or out of sight.
Do waypoints work on server networks?
Yes. They are kept separately for each sub-server, so markers from one game mode do not show up in another.
