Featured Dynamic Maps 0.5.2

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.10 or if they can upload older versions of their mods.
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

Replaces the in-game map screen with actually useful maps with dynamic information!

Notice: I'm stepping back from my SPT mods for now and have added some known community authors in the case that I am out of touch, which is very likely to happen in the next months. These authors are not obligated to anything, just want to make sure that someone can add a maintainer in the future. My SPT projects were started to keep me occupied after a death in my immediate family and I've lost interest in Tarkov for now.


Tired of getting lost? Here's an in-game map viewer with dynamic information overlaid on-top, including extracts, quests, player and teammate markers, corpses, the BTR, player-dropped backpacks, airdrops, and locked doors. More features after the screenshots.

Features

  • Map organized in stacked layers / levels
    • Text map labels supported overlaid on map
    • Automatic selection of layer based on player position (configurable)
    • Manual level control available on left of map screen (as well as shift-scroll and configurable hotkeys)
  • Automatic min/max zoom based on size of map
  • Support for coordinate rotation, since BSG decided to make north different direction on many of the maps
  • Drag-based map pan and mousewheel-based map zoom controls; additional hotkeys for map control available (configurable)
  • Peek at map hotkey (configurable)
  • Icon-based map markers placed both statically and dynamically. Currently:
    • In-raid dynamic player icon
    • In-raid dynamic current extracts for player
    • In-raid dynamic quest icons (loosely based on Prop's GTFO)
    • In-raid dynamic player-dropped backpacks
    • In-raid dynamic BTR icon (with icon by Kuromi, see marker_credits.txt for more info)
    • In-raid dynamic airdrop icons (generated when airdrop lands)
    • In-raid dynamic markers for corpses
    • In-raid dynamic other players/bots icons
      • Friendly players will only show if using another mod that adds multiplayer or adds friendly bots (not sure if that exists)
      • Enemy players, bosses, and scavs off by default, intended for mostly debug
    • Static markers for all extracts for all maps out-of-raid
    • Statically-loaded locked door with dynamic icon and color based on key status
      • Out-of-raid, green with key means player has it in inventory, yellow with key means key in stash, red with lock otherwise
      • In-raid, green with key means player has the key, red with lock means player doesn't have key
    • Static markers for switches and levers

See KNOWN_ISSUES.md for known current issues and FEATURE_WISHLIST.md for a list of things that I would like to work on in the future.

  • Version 0.4.2

    This update REQUIRES a config wipe. When asked to overwrite your config, make sure you do so. Failing to do so may cause issues. You've been warned.


    - Completely rewrote the mini map feature and cleaned up some code.

    - Mini map zoom in/out is page up/down by default. (configurable in the F12 menu)

    - Mini map position is fixed in the top right for now (I will address this later)

    - There are now animations to smooth out transitions between map views. (Disable in the F12 menu)

    - Map zoom and position are now saved for the duration of the raid in peek view and map(tab) view.

    - You cannot have `remember map position` and `reset zoom on center` or `auto center on player maker` enabled at the same time. They will disable the options they need disabled when enabled.

    - Resolved numerous NRE's that caused maps to not load in some cases.

    Heart 10 Thumbs Up 2

  • Version 0.4.1

    - Fixed null ref that caused the map screen map to not be viewable.

    - Fixed bouncing of the mini map in all instances.

    - Fixed mini map not being able to be disabled permanently. (F12 option)

    - Removed mini map zoom keys. Its now done with the same keys as the primary map view.

    - Fixed map appearing on the screen when entering the hideout.


    I will not fix or decouple map zoom being shared between the peek view and mini map. The maps are the same instance and decoupling them is more trouble than its worth, with the smoothing now corrected, its a non issue really.

  • A white square appears on my map, I realized after few raids that they are the armor repair kit, and the white squares remain after each raid, also when I throw them on the ground another square appears where I drop it

  • I haven't seen anyone else complain about this so I wonder if it's maybe another mod doing this. For some reason the maps looks small like the image below when I look at the full screen. Any clue why?

    • in F12 menu bind zoom in and out keys to - + (maybe default I dont remember)
      press - and + to zoom the map
      have fun

    • You are a lifesaver. This has been plaguing me for weeks and somehow I couldn't get the zoom to work before but after rebinding it to something else it works. Thank you.

    • Been talking to Cj (mod maintainer) about this for a little while. He inherited the mod (i.e. didn't write the original code), and it needs a rewrite/overhaul.


      Issue tends to happen after the 2nd (and subsequent) raid, regardless if switching areas/raids or not. I've just gotten in the habit of re-zooming the map every raid.

  • Question: Is it normal that objectives don't get removed as you complete them? For me, I need to toggle quest markers on and off again for it to update

    • The only time I've seen a quest stay is if it's not completed. Usually when you have to survive for example to complete it.

    • Yeah, I'm talking about individual objectives not entire quests. So if I have to collect 3 objects and extract, the markers for each item stay as I'm collecting them. If I toggle markers on and off, they update according to what I've already done but I feel like this should happen automatically.

      And yeah, when the whole quest is complete they don't reappear next time but that's not the issue.

  • Is there a way to configure his mod? I'd like to set it up in a way that minimap is turned off by default for example, and turn off certain things such as the marker for airdrop.

    • Press F12.

    • I meant before the mod is installed, should've specified that.

    • nah, you just gotta do it in the mod settings

    • Cool, thank you

  • is partizan showing as a scav a bug or a feature?

  • Love the mod, I'm a beginner in tarkov and this helped me at the beginning to know where are the enemies, what is my location and so on. Then as I started to grab confidence I was disabling some of those markers and pretty much just use the quick Map peak to know where are some items.


    There is one frequen problem than I experience sometimes in some raids (not all of them) it's that the map zoom is changing, in some raids I would have to go to the Map tab and adjust the zoom so i can see clearly in my shortcut, but sometimes the "default" zoom is like all the way in and there so I can't zoom out even more, only zoom in. This aswell affects the minimap, when this happens I'm not able to zoom out aswell, just zoom in

    • same problem here, different here is I can't keep the zoom setting saved, every time i start another save the zoom level is back to very left.

  • It would be nice to have a size scale option for the markers (individual or overall, either is fine). Love the mod!

  • I noticed that white blocks appeared randomly on the map.The position of the white block is different every time I enter the game, and I don't know why.

    • I think its a missing sprite category for a BSG handbook id, I'm not sure which one though

  • what do yellow enemy markers mean are they pmcs of the same faction?

  • Is there a way to show all of the loot spawns for an item, not just the items in the raid? I'd like to use it more like a way to learn where all the loot is rather than a loot radar.

    • Maybe, I thought about it. However I thought it would bloat the map with too many icons so I didn't do it. I may reconsider in the future if I can figure out a way to do it that isn't obnoxious

  • Partizan shows up as a scav on the map. He is not identified as a boss.

  • thanks for all the hard work making and updating the mod! just wanted to ask if it'd be possible to add transit names (which map is the transit for) onto the map?

    • They do if you mouse over them?

    • I'm just an idiot ignore me then :D ig I'd need it there 24/7 like other extract names

  • Hello, thanks for the mod. I decided to take a break from the game and am now back. I installed your mod, and the ERROR began to appear: This version of DynamicMaps was built for Tarkov 33420, but you are running 32678. Please download the correct plugin version. Please tell me what to do. Looks like the latest version of the game. Thanks in advance

  • Absolutely LOVE this mod. My first thing I install after SVM! :D

  • could we get a feature to include transition exfils alongside normal ones? i'm using a mod that hardlocks you to transits and it'd be so useful to me

    • I plan on it here soon, I couldn't get it done before 3.10 release and had a ton of other things I had to work on for my own mods

      Heart 1

    • awesome! glad to hear it and great work btw you're a treasure to the community <3

      Heart 1

  • Is there a way to put this map on a second monitor? If not could this feature be added? It's really handy to look at a map while still playing rather than enter a menu or have a minimap blocking part of your screen

    • No and this will never be implemented as long as I'm the maintainer, not something I have aspirations of taking on. Way more complex than you think it is

  • It would be great if you could move the minimap more. On ultrawide you cannot move it all the way to the edge.

  • I got an error; reading it's for 3.9 but I downloaded for 3.10.... Any help would be fantastic.

    • Im a potato! Fantastic work, great mod!

  • Thank you for updating to 3.10 so fast you are AMAZING I LOVE this mod! One little thing I noticed that didn't happen in 3.9 is that if I disable the minimap in the f12 menu, it then makes the main map (M) about the same size as the minimap a little bigger, but fully zoomed out. The workaround for this is to just press END every raid to hide minimap, and the regular map is the correct size. Not a huge deal, but just a little something I noticed. I am playing on 4k with DLSS on quality if that has anything to do with the UI scale. Love your mod so much ty

    • Might have something to do with the mini-map position config I added in the last patch of 3.9, i'll take a look

    • appreciate you! just thought I'd update you and let you know I was wrong and just had a raid on woods where the map was minimap size again right at the beginning even before I turned off the minimap with END. Now it just seems random when it happens. Not sure whats up but it's happened so far on woods and ground zero if that matters for you. appreciate all the work you do

  • Love your mod, thanks for updating <3

  • Is there any plan to be able to open the map in another window to be pulled onto a second monitor? It would be really nice to see the whole map in detail without taking up the game screen

  • Having a weird issue where my main map zoom is resetting after each raid. Is there a file or config that is being rewritten after each raid? Any suggestions on what I can do to remove this issue?

    • I wish the minimap would stay hidden when I leave raids with the minimap hidden. I think the feature is super cool, I just want to use it specifically when I can't find something to keep the immersion a bit.

      It was also resetting my zoom setting after earch raid, rollback helped me.

      Maybe just an issue on my end i dont know.

    • These would be QOL improvements, neither of these are "issues". I've taken note.

  • Awesome update! May I request a toggle option for hidden stashes? Already have the mod that have hidden stashes emit orange smokes.

  • thanks

    this is essential for other mods to quickly check them, like bot spawns and behaviour, but for me, its also a huge help for quests


    i also have a lot of problems with quick keys so i tend to dont use them at all, just the "m" for full map

  • Unfortunately, the hotkey for hiding the minimap no longer works properly after 0.4.2.

    It expands for a moment and then returns to its original state.

    Use of the “Enable Minimap” still works.

    A rollback to 0.4.2 fixes my problem.

    No relevant log found.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    • Hmm i'll take a look

      Heart 1

    • You fixed it, thanks, but why when I hit the minimap zoom in and out button my frametime gets mad mad high till i stop zooming? toggling stuff like minimap, blips or changing zoom in the menu also increases frametime like crazy. I remember version 0.4.2 was very smooth and I had basically no frametime difference at all when zooming or toggling stuff. I really like the new changes, but I'm thinking about rolling back until it's fixed.... I also reset all the configurations.

      Otherwise everything works perfectly and smoothly.

  • Suggestion: Add potential stash locations to the map and option to show if a stash actually spawned there with the stash status toggle.


    I'd be really helpful for me as I'm a beginner trying to learn the stashes locations, but turning on a separate map on my phone just to see where the stashes are is a nuisance.

    • If you want to learn caches, there's a mod that gives active caches a "lit smoke" effect (like the red smoke from airdrops and the green smoke from some extracts): Rai's Hidden Caches

    • This is already something I had planned

      Thumbs Up 1

  • Amazing work dude! It's great that your mod can help me gradually become familiar with how to play Tarkov. :) :thumbup:

  • This mod is awesome. I like being able to see skulls on the map to find bodies easier, but it feels a bit cheesy to always know when I get a kill. Would it be possible to have an option so that corpse markers only appear after looting that body?

    • Maybe, I'll have to figure some things out.

  • I love this mod. I do have one suggestion, though.

    You already have different colors for each AI type, that being orange for scavs, red for PMCs, and purple for certain bosses. But when scavs/PMCs/some bosses are dead, they use the same color marker. A red skull. Can you keep the orange for scavs and make ALL bosses use purple fore both alive and dead?

    I'm asking because I've lost PMC bodies in a pile of other bodies several times,

    • Yeah I can probably do this

      Thumbs Up 1

    • Awesome.

    • Ill have to grab this in the next update, complete forget to make them separate when exposing the colors lol

  • running into an issue where the zoom bar on the left side of the screen appears on my screen at the beginning of raid and if i hit M to quick open the map it goes away but it also is then not appearing when i use the map tab in my inventory
