"Surveyor" mod for measuring map dimensions in-game

Post by Johnny Law »

Hey folks. (Long time no post.) This is just a little thing but I should mention it here -- since if anyone else other than me would be mildly interested in it, this is probably where they would be. :-)

I was looking at some spaces in maps and curious about how the author had sized them, so I made a mod to help me measure things in-game. I've put it up on my website... let me know if you try it and it doesn't work. (Or if it does!)

e: made a video because why not https://youtu.be/kmmbWwR9Xbc

That's pretty neat!

Can you also modify the red and blue markers so that they act as red and blue portals? :D
