A shortcut to online map and information about quests and locations, with support for Steam overlay.
Requirements
Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE)
Address Library for SKSE Plugins
Updated VC++ Redist
SkyUI
MCM Helper
Information you can access
- Online map for the current location if not selecting any marker.
- Wiki page of a Map location, position the mouse cursor over the map marker and press the configured shortcut.
- Wiki page for a Quest marker under the mouse cursor in the map menu. The name of the quest will be used in the url to access the wiki, not the objective.
- Wiki page for a Quest highlighted in the quests menu.
How to use
The default key is "/" (key code 53), configurable in MCM. If you prefer an easier shortcut, I recommend "Q".
This mod works when Map or Quests menus are open, nothing happens outside these menus.
To view information about a quest, highlight the quest using mouse and press the configured key. Steam overlay or default browser should open.
For the map, position the cursor over a map marker and press the shortcut. If you press the key when the cursor is not over a map marker, the online map will open displaying your current position.
Steam overlay support is enabled by default. If steam is not detected Windows API will be used to open the URL, then you will see your default browser over the game. There's no way to configure default browser. This mod doesn't execute any program directly, it only requests to open an http or https url, Steam or Windows handle it.
This mod is pre-configured to use uesp.net, but can be used with any wiki (like elderscrolls.fandom.com), see configuration.
Configuration
The SKSE\Plugins\WikiMap.ini has the following options:
Other options like key shortcut are configurable using MCM Helper.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with anything that doesn't completely replace Map or Quest menus. This mod hooks the quest and map menus, and changes a button dynamically, it is unlikely but if a mod makes big changes to the buttons in the bottom bar of SkyUI, a crash can happen when map/quest menu is open. Changes to layout like most known mods does, should not cause any conflict. Tested with SkyUI, Dear Diary, Untarnished UI and Nordic UI, no problem was found. In case of an incompatibility, you can change the option UpdateBottomBar to false, the mod will work as expected but the button will not appear in the bottom bar, just a visual difference.
Not compatible with "Quest Journal Overhaul", map menu still works with that mod installed.

Configuration
The SKSE\Plugins\WikiMap.ini has the following options:
- Debug: Send more information to logs.
- UpdateBottomBar: Set to false to disable menu changes. Useful if you have an incompatible menu (modified bottom bar buttons).
- UrlSelected: Url used when mouse is over a map marker.
- UrlInterior: Url used when player location is interior.
- UrlQuest: Url used for quests.
- Worldspaces: Urls used for exterior (map), one for each worldspace, Tamriel and Solstheim are preconfigured. If you have mods that adds worlds to the game and you know a web site with an online map for that mod, add the url to the ini.
Other options like key shortcut are configurable using MCM Helper.

Notes
- People with GOG version or any user running without Steam will see the default browser opening over the game.
- Steam is enabled by default, but you don't need to disable if you don't have it, the mod will use Windows browser.
- Steam has a bug when modal browser option is used, sometimes the tab is not closed properly. It is recommended to leave it disabled.
- Users of languages other than english will want to change the url of the wiki (UrlSelected and UrlInterior). The pre-configured is UESP, check their website for the correct url for your language. The urls are configurable only in the "SKSE\Plugins\WikiMap.ini", not in MCM.
- Safe to install/uninstall mid-game.
- UESP or Elder Scrolls Fandom team are not responsible for this mod and don't have any involvement in the development.
