MapleCompass 0.5.0

The Grind Tracker remembers your best EXP per hour on every map and stars the moment you beat it, Ctrl+Shift+I opens the MeowDB page of the item under your pointer, and MapleCompass's windows now stay on top of the game and out of the way of everything else.

Personal use only. MapleCompass reads map and item data live from NiaMeowDB (meowdb.com) under a personal-use arrangement; it must not be shared publicly until MeowDB gives written permission (ADR 0003, ADR 0007). Mob pictures come from maplestory.io, a fan site serving Nexon's own art, under the same terms (ADR 0006). Using any third-party tool with MapleStory is at your own risk.

Changes

• Your best on every map. Hunt 5 minutes on a map with mobs and the Grind Tracker remembers your best EXP per hour there. When you come back, a Best row under Last 5 min shows it, and a ★ lights up beside Last 5 min while you're beating it. A best that came from a misread or a stretch you can't repeat? The × on the Best row removes it from that map's history, and your next-best visit takes over. Each map keeps its 10 best visits, across all your characters, in personal-bests.json beside your settings.
• Item Lookup (Ctrl+Shift+I). Hover an item so its tooltip shows (inventory, equipment, shops, storage) and press Ctrl+Shift+I: its MeowDB page opens in your browser. An alert at the top of the game window says what came of it, and when several items share the name it lists them for you to pick.
• Always on top, only with the game. The panel, the Grind Tracker and the Item Lookup alert now sit on top of everything while MapleStory (or one of MapleCompass's windows) is in front, and hide when you switch to another app, a detached panel on another monitor included. Opening a MeowDB page in your browser hides them until you come back to the game.
• The Grind Tracker shows the EXP bar it reads, as the game's own gauge at its foot, so you can see it working. If something covers the bar, it says so (instead of claiming you're on a break) and holds your figures, and EXP gained while it couldn't see doesn't land as one big burst.
• Resetting the Session can be undone. The reset button moved beside Time to Level, away from the window's ×, and Undo brings the old Session back until your next EXP gain.
• Clearer figures. Rates are written out in full ("61,200 EXP/h"), the Session row says how long it has run, "% of this map's solo EXP/h" counts only your play on the map you're on (it starts over on every map now, even beside one with the same figure), the waiting note just says "Waiting for EXP", and warming up has no tag.
• The Grind Tracker stays put beside the panel as it grows and shrinks from map to map.

Your Personal Bests start empty: your first 5 minutes on each map record its first best, and the Best row shows it from your next visit there.

Download (Windows 10/11, 64-bit)

File	What it is
MapleCompass_0.5.0_x64-setup.exe	Installer (recommended). Installs for your user over 0.4.x, with a Start menu entry and an uninstaller.
MapleCompass_0.5.0_x64_en-US.msi	The same, as an MSI package (installs for all users, so it asks for admin rights).
maplecompass-0.5.0-portable.exe	No install: run it from any folder. Needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, which Windows 11 already has.

Quit the running MapleCompass first (its compass in the notification area: Quit MapleCompass). The files aren't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say it "protected your PC": choose More info, then Run anyway.

See 0.2.0 for everything MapleCompass does.
