Minerva 0.9.0

MapleCompass is now Minerva, and its Search finds maps and items as well as mobs, showing the way to any map you pick.

Minerva isn't made, endorsed or supported by NEXON. Using any third-party tool with MapleStory is at your own risk.

Changes

• MapleCompass is now Minerva. It has a new name, and an owl for its icon in the notification area, on the panel's bar and on the collapsed panel. The site has moved to itechify.github.io/minerva. Minerva installs as a new app, so read Coming from MapleCompass below before you install it.
• Search: mobs, maps and items. Ctrl+Shift+F, or the magnifier at the top of the panel, opens Search. Type part of a name and the mobs, maps and items that have it show in a section each, with their pictures. Names that start with what you typed come first. A mob lists the maps it spawns on, as before. A map becomes your Destination. An item opens its Item Card beside the panel, with no need to have it in hand. Esc and the back arrow now go back one step: from a mob's maps to what you typed, then to the panel. More on the site
• Destinations. Pick a map in Search and Navigation shows the way there: the map with its Map Mark, its street, how far it is and the route, worked out again as you move, until You're here. You have either a Destination or a Hunting Target, whichever you picked last. More on the site
• Market Lines on the Item Card. You can keep more than one price for each item. Click the + by Market and name the line (Typical, say, or Lowest ask): every card lists it from then on, with its own price for each item. Click a line's name to rename it, or to remove it with the bin. Before removing a line, the card asks, saying how many items' prices go with it. The prices you kept in 0.8.0 are on your first line, Your price. More on the site
• The Item Card heads with the item's picture beside its name.
• Fixed: the Grind Tracker could say "You switched character" when you hadn't, after misreading a still EXP bar the same way a few times in a row. A bar it can't read for sure is now skipped, never read as a wrong number.

Coming from MapleCompass? Minerva installs beside MapleCompass, not over it, and keeps its settings in a new folder. To keep your settings, hotkeys, Personal Bests and market prices, do this before you install Minerva:

1. Quit MapleCompass (its compass in the notification area: Quit MapleCompass).
2. Type %APPDATA% in File Explorer's address bar, make a folder named com.itechify.minerva, and copy everything in com.itechify.maplecompass into it. (If you've already started Minerva, quit it first, then copy them over its files.)
3. Install and start Minerva, then uninstall MapleCompass in Settings › Apps.

Minerva fetches its map and item data again by itself. From now on, later versions of Minerva install over this one, keeping everything.

Download (Windows 10/11, 64-bit)

File	What it is
Minerva_0.9.0_x64-setup.exe	Installer (recommended). Installs for your user, with a Start menu entry and an uninstaller.
Minerva_0.9.0_x64_en-US.msi	The same, as an MSI package (installs for all users, so it asks for admin rights).
minerva-0.9.0-portable.exe	No install: run it from any folder. Needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, which Windows 11 already has.

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

Map, mob and item data, map pictures, Map Marks, mob animations and item pictures: OSMS Data Explorer. Pages: NiaMeowDB. Market prices: MesoWatch, which the Item Card opens. Title and item recognition: ocrs (model under CC BY-SA 4.0). Typeface: Maplestory by NEXON. See THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md, attached, and About & Credits in Help & Setup.
