Minimap Style Options

Description
Minimap Style Options
Customize the appearance and behavior of the minimap — instantly and interactively.

The mod is now more polished and stable. It is completely adapted to Build 42.12.0.

✅ Features
🖱️ Resize the minimap interactively by dragging its bottom-right corner.
📌 Button panel position can be toggled (bottom or top). Useful for placing the minimap at the edge of the screen.
⌨️ [NEW] Key binding to toggle Minimap: Open or close the minimap with the 'N' key. The keybind can be customized.
⚙️ Full settings available from ESC > Options > Mods tab.
⚡ Changes apply instantly — even while the minimap is open.

⚙️ In-game Minimap Options
In Build 42.11.0, a new button with a gear icon has been added to the minimap's button panel. This mod provides quick access to new options from that button:
🔍 Extended Zoom Limits: Zoom much further in or out than the vanilla limits.
🔣 Full Symbols and notes: Toggle between simplified symbols (default minimap) and full symbols with annotations (like the general map).
🌲 Terrain Image: Displays the minimap with more terrain details.

✨ What's New in Version 2.3
Key binding: A keyboard shortcut has been added to toggle the minimap on and off (default N).
Translation improvement: Translations for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Russian are now fully updated.


✨ What's New in Version 2.2
Fix: Corrected a map overlay bug where city name labels would incorrectly appear on the minimap.
Fix: Solved an issue that prevented the forest and vegetation overlay from displaying properly.
Improvement: Option names are now more consistent between the in-game minimap panel and the main "Mods" options menu.

English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish

✅ Compatibility
🧩 Compatible with Build 42.
💾 Safe to add or remove mid-save.
🔧 Uses safe function wrapping to ensure mod compatibility.
❌ Not compatible with Build 41 or earlier.

I'm using your mod and have noticed that the minimap only displays forest terrain, with no residential buildings shown. Could this be caused by the fact that I'm in a map area added by the mod? For reference, I am using the mod's map and started in the nearby area.

First of all, thank you for your help. I followed all the steps you suggested, even activated the Minimap Style Options mod, started a new game, and tried again, but it still didn't work. I still can't figure out what the problem is.

@Afyrmo, I'm seeing a sore lack of tip jar in this mod description and want to support this awesome mod, DM me?
Afyrmo  [author] 30 Aug @ 4:08am 
@Cuddlygunman, adding blips for vehicles and enemies is a great idea and is high on my list of features to implement an option for that.

The recent transition to Build 42.11.0 required a lot of unexpected work just to get the mod fully functional again. While the game update introduced many new possibilities, it also took a good amount of time just to ensure everything was working properly.

Adding new features will take a bit more time. I can't give a specific timeframe, as modding is a hobby I do in my free time, but I am actively working on it. I appreciate your patience and support.

@Error Occurred, right now, Build 42 is only available for single-player. Because of this, my mod is focused on improving the single-player minimap, so there aren't any other players to display on it.

However, if you're using a mod that adds NPCs and you'd like them to appear on the minimap, let me know which mod it is. I can look into whether it's possible to make them visible and potentially add compatibility in a future update.

@LittleNightMare33, It's a very unusual bug that can occur with incomplete updates. Here are three steps to try, in order.

1. Verify Game Files: Close Project Zomboid. In Steam Library, right-click Project Zomboid > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files...

2. Force a Mod Re-install: If step 1 doesn't work, try this. Close Project Zomboid. In Steam, unsubscribe from the mod, wait a few seconds, then subscribe again.

3. Reset Mod Settings: If the problem persists, your mod options file might be corrupted.
- Go to C:\Users\[your username]\Zomboid\Lua\ModOptions.ini.
- Make a backup of this file first!
- Open it and delete any lines containing "MSO_".
- If that doesn't work, try deleting the entire ModOptions.ini file.

Please let me know if any of these steps help you!

@Afyrmo, Have you looked into the option to display vehicles and enemies, and if so, is there any chance you could give us an estimated timeframe, I really miss my Eris Minimap in B42 and that's the feature I'm most excited about by far
Error Occurred 28 Aug @ 12:32pm 
if its possible you should add a way to make other players visible as blips on the minimap
LittLeNiGhtMare33 26 Aug @ 10:49pm 
Thak you afyrmo but I'm already on build 42 version 11. There are other mods, but even when I remove them and use only the Minimap Style Options mod, I try to open the map, but it doesn't appear on my screen. I don't know why.
Afyrmo  [author] 26 Aug @ 10:02am 
@LittLeNiGhtMare33, could you provide more details about what isn’t working exactly? Without more information, it’s hard to troubleshoot. The mod has been tested and is working correctly on the latest Project Zomboid build 42.11.0.

Please also check which game version you’re using — you can see it in the bottom-right corner of the main menu. If you’re on an older build, the mod won't work as expected.

Once I know more about the issue, I’ll be happy to help you fix it.
