#Better Minimap Controls

With sailing being all about world traversal and fun on a boat, it's nice to know where north is, so as not to get lost on the open seas.

Right now, the default behaviour of the minimap is to have up on the minimap be the horizontal camera direction yaw in understandable language, up on the minimap is the direction you're looking at

My wish is to have a "Lock" feature on the minimap, to disable the minimap spin, making it so UP on the minimap can be north, south, east or west, even if you are facing in another direction.

This feature would help with orientation and is a common feature of minimaps within many games, from Breath of the Wild to WoW to FFXIV to Call of Duty.

In terms of implementation on the game client, this functionality could be easiest implemented on the minimap renderer; this is currently using the Camera Yaw to orient, but locking it could just set it to a fixed value north, south, east or west

edit: this has to be implemented on jagex's end as it's too internal for runelite to touch, see Issue #12264

Im 99% sure within the game settings or on runelite there is a way to lock the minimap rotation, but you also have that compass right beside the minimap, it takes 1 click to recentre it on north and you can right click it to set it to whatever direction you want to be "up".

I've seen the option, where it was i cant recall and im not at my pc right now

it cannot be done in runelite, i would link the actual github issue where this exact feature was tried out. the problem is that the minimap orientation is a jagex object you cannot interract with much overlaying stuff and recoloring stuff is easy. the underlying problem is that interractions like clicking on the minimap will no longer allign with the square the game expects to calculate out of it, because it's still rotating on jagex side, and while you could re-calculate that stuff easy, you will immediately trigger anticheat on doing something like this. so it'll have to be done by jagex
