deathbymanga Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 um, yeah, self-explanatory. i really don't know why this wasn't done with everyone's obsession with immersion. compasses have been used since long ago. Imagine a glass ball, filled with water, and a small, magnetic filing placed in it. You could hold the ball and when in first person mode, would be held close to you so that you could see where you were going. you would need a piece of glass, some water, and a Corrodium Ingot (that stuff looks magnetic).

Boombro Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I once saw a mod that adds a dwemer one, you use it to mark areas then it can take you there. Edited November 3, 2014 by Boombro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbymanga Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 that is not a compass, that is a homing signal. and while it works sort of, my idea is for something that is just a compass. That way i don't need to open my compass to get to it. I can simply make a hotkey and have my guy pull out a compass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofgren Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 You can use iHud to bind your compass to a hotkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbymanga Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 It is already, but that isnt immersive at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofgren Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 For certain definitions of immersive, I suppose not. Doesn't really bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbymanga Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 yeah, i just said, that's not a compass. That's a homing beacon fitted into Jack Sparrow's magic compass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1308005User Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 So you want one that itself shows the direction, not so that it's embedded into hud and becomes visible when "wielding" the compass? Also, should it show the direction to north always? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbymanga Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Shadow, yes, i want an actual compass that i hold in my hand, that works like an actual compass. and what the compass shows can easily edited. If you just put a needle, then it would only show which way was north, but if you were to put a disk in the ball, and mark the sides with the directions, and put a magnetic needle in the middle, it would easily show all the directions.
