MapleCompass 0.2.0

The first packaged build of MapleCompass, a helper overlay for MapleStory Classic World. It reads the minimap title by ordinary screen capture, shows which map you are on, and never touches the game's memory, files or input (ADR 0001).

Personal use only. MapleCompass reads map data live from NiaMeowDB (meowdb.com) under a personal-use arrangement; it must not be shared publicly until MeowDB gives written permission (ADR 0003). Using any third-party tool with MapleStory is at your own risk; the first run explains how MapleCompass keeps that risk low.

Download (Windows 10/11, 64-bit)

File	What it is
MapleCompass_0.2.0_x64-setup.exe	Installer (recommended). Installs for your user, adds a Start menu entry and an uninstaller.
MapleCompass_0.2.0_x64_en-US.msi	The same, as an MSI package (installs for all users, so it asks for admin rights).
maplecompass-0.2.0-portable.exe	No install: run it from any folder. Needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, which Windows 11 already has.

The files aren't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say it "protected your PC": choose More info, then Run anyway.

Run the game windowed or borderless, with the minimap open. On first run, setup walks you through finding the game window and marking the minimap title.

What's in it

• The map you're on, recognised from the minimap title, with its Hidden Portals first: where each leads and where it is, drawn on a tiny minimap.
• Hunting: the Map Summary (EXP and mobs per hour, solo and 6+ party) and the five most common mobs.
• Mob search: find a mob, see the maps it spawns on ranked by density and distance, and get the route there as your Hunting Target.
• EXP tracking (optional): Time to Level and your EXP rates, from the in-game EXP bar.
• Honest when unsure: maps that share a title, unreadable numerals and offline MeowDB data are shown as such, never guessed.
• Looks like the game's own windows: a Mini Map–style bar with blue buttons, the map title on the Mini Map's sky blue, and a see-through body like the Quest Helper.
• Placement: inside the game window, docked to either side or detached; drag it by its header, resize it by a bottom corner, or collapse it to the compass icon.
• Hotkeys (while the game or MapleCompass is in front): Ctrl+Shift+C collapse, P placement, M MeowDB page, S setup, N next map with the same title, F search, R reset EXP tracking.

Changes in this version

• New look across the overlay, setup and title-marking windows, built from the game's Mini Map and Quest Helper.
• Hidden Portals come first, each with a mini minimap of where it is; the mob list shows the top five with a summary of the rest.
• The panel can be resized by either bottom corner (never narrower than 320 px), and keeps its width.
• The panel's default spot is a third of the way down the game window, and it grows downward instead of re-centring.
• Hotkey warnings say whether a key is taken by another app or isn't a key combination.
• EXP tracking no longer mistakes a level-up barely into the new level for a death.
