TES Character Tracker

Draws your Skyrim/Fallout 4 character movement map using save files. Works only for default worldspace (eg. no Solstheim map), saves inside interiors are ignored.

Sample output

• Fallout 4 - 3072x3072px. This map is weird, but still a map.
• Skyrim - 3000x2000px.

Troubleshooting

• If you have errors with reading saves, you should run application from administrator or copy saves to folder, where no admin rights required and change Fallout4SaveDir or SkyrimSaveDir in settings.json to this folder.
