Direction-heading dial somewhere in the viewer

[cibernut]

Just wondering if having a direction-heading dial permenantly displayed on the viewer whether in world-view or fp-view would be a good idea.

Display the minimap and you have this.

Yes the mini map gives an indicator but I can't find anything for the world map, if there was a heading-dial always showing you'd always know which diretion you're going in with or without a map.

You could try a Compass Hud.

The world map does have a direction indicator. it is a triangular highlight field of view type thingy. Not saying it couldn't be improved

Like Ohjiro said, there is direction indicator in the world map.

See that light gradually fading triangle starting from avatar's position? That's the indicator where the avatar is facing to. The avatar is facing towards in the middle of the longer edge of that triangle. And if the avatar moves it moves to that direction.

I drew additional arrow on the image to make the matter clear. Avatar is facing where the arrow is pointing. If the avatar moves this arrow shows the direction where the avatar is moving to.

 

PS.

Naturally in the world map north is up, south is down, east is on the right, west is on the left.  :matte-motes-asleep-2:

Right! and the grey fading triangle indicates your current field of view and current Draw distance
