It works nicely, but the enlarged minimap after entering or leaving combat, or travel betwen singpost keeps returning to small and I have to enlarge it every now and then. Is there no way to make it keep its lerger size?
Considering the difficulty in merging this w/ something as essential as Friendly Hud, along w/ the rest of the issues mentioned below, makes this mod a fail, IMO.
Unless ofc, you're one of the regulars here who has spent hundreds of hours modding this game (let alone playing it), or have recent exp with coding/scripting, or just really determined. However, it's likely not worth the time and effort for the avg person (which I assume is the majority), IMHO.
On 3440x1440 better minimap does not load completely when pressing the key. Changing theese values helps: default BETTER_MINIMAP_SCALE = 2.55f; default BETTER_MINIMAP_ZOOM = 0.45f;
Hey guys was having issues with this, make sure if you are doing a manual install to put the file you download, "modBetterMinimap" into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\mods" folder.
When you follow the instructions for input.settings, make sure to put the lines under each of their corresponding sections within that file, so underneath [Exploration] [Exploration_Replacer_Ciri] [Horse] [Horse_Replacer_Ciri] [Swimming] [Boat] [BoatPassenger] [Combat] [Combat_Replacer_Ciri] [Diving] [JumpClimb]
put : IK_Comma=(Action=ToggleBetterMinimap)
Along with this set the input.settings file into "read only" as for me, whenever I started the game it would overwrite what I put in there. You can do this by right clicking the file and selecting properties, from there you can select a check box off for read only. If you want to edit this for other mods uncheck the box and re check it after you do edits.
After you do all this download the Witcher Script Merger (https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/484), run the executable, put the file path for your witcher 3 executable. After doing all of these steps this mod worked for me.
I updated the mod to work on 4.04 update, actually just updated 1 file "playerinput.ws", use script merger to solve conflicts and make sure you go to "key bindings" ingame and change "Toggle Better Minimap" to your liking, Example
