Tarkov Map Tracker by M4elstr0m

[//]:<[]()> Tarkov Map Tracker is designed to help beginners to find themselves on the huge maps of Escape From Tarkov
I made this software because I did not find any app that really tracks your location in real time in Tarkov

There is no specific rules from Battlestate Games that does'nt allow to use screenshots, but beware if it is the case and please contact me!
This is not a cheat since it only uses screenshots from the game, but use this software on your own risks if there is a rule about this in the future ⚠️ I'm not responsible of any loss

Notice that this software is only helpful when you have Escape From Tarkov installed on your computer.

📚 Usage

You just have to double click on "start.exe" (if Windows is blocking you just click on 'More infos' then 'Run anyway')
⚠️ If there is not any window showing up, maybe the problem is from the "start.exe", then you can go in the "tarkov-map-tracker" folder and type the following command in a terminal window: py gui.py or python gui.py

• The software is tracking your position using screenshots so you have to take a screenshot and then refresh your map using the Keybind (by default "$") or not, depending on AutoMode state.
  
  
• The software won't be able to recognize on which map you are automatically (since a screenshot does'nt have this information inside it), you have to choose the right map by yourself.
  
  
• I suggest you to rebind your Tarkov in-game Screenshot keybind for the same as Keybind in Tarkov Map Tracker (notice that ImpScreen may not work because it triggers the Windows service himself) : for eg if your in-game key is "M" to do a screenshot, bind the Tarkov Map Tracker with "M" as well.
  
  

🔧 Setting-up

In the GUI you have 4 types of button:

Keybind: You can bind a key to refresh the map (with AutoMode activated, please bind the same key as your in-game Tarkov screenshot key). "$" key by default

AutoMode: Will refresh the map automatically every 5 seconds, if the Keybind is the same as Tarkov, it will also take a screenshot at the same time, so you don't have anything to do but looking at the map.

Delete Screenshots: This button has to be pressed two times in order to fully clear all your Tarkov Screenshot directory.
WHEN DELETED YOU CANNOT RETRIEVE YOUR FILES ANYMORE

Maps button: When you click on the button corresponding to a map, this map opens and either you or the software have to refresh it (depending on AutoMode state)

Settings are also accessible from /tarkov-map-tracker/settings.txt
