Chinchilla Minimap alters the Blizzard Minimap in a way to provide much nicer features and other niceties.
- Appearance
- Allows changing of blip size (useful since 3.1), border style, shape of the map (doesn't have to be circular, or even square, lots of options are available), size, etc.
- Auto Zoom
- Zoom out the map automatically after 20 seconds (or so).
- Compass
- A more flexible north-east-south-west indicator.
- Coordinates
- Show your location coordinates.
- Expander
- Make the minimap very big temporarily (good for gathering or finding a tough-to-spot enemy).
- Location
- Show the name of your location more flexibly.
- Move Buttons
- Move the buttons around the minimap to wherever you want (even off the minimap entirely).
- Ping
- Show which team-mate pinged the minimap.
- Position
- Position the minimap and frames around it.
- Range Circle
- Show on the minimap where your range extends to.
- Show / Hide
- Show or hide various frames related to the minimap.
- Tracking Dots
- Change the dots on the map to a different set of images. Very handy, especially if you suffer from colorblindness.
- Wheel Zoom
- Mousewheel to zoom the minimap.

It does work in Terrokar but NOT in Hellfire or Zangarmarsh, even with the alpha installed.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
I managed to figure it out. You need to enable world pvp objectives to always, then reload addons.
But the above setting was it I believe, thanks for your response and help.

Sounds like a conflict with another addon but I will try look into this further (translated: I don't PvP). Does it still happen in other places, like at the towers in Hellfire, Zangarmarsh and Terokkar?
Feel free to grab the alpha but I haven't made any changes to how the positioning code works.
Follow me on Twitter.

Running 2.4.2 and I have moved the capture bar window to under that map.
Should I get the alpha and see if that helps or is there some missing configuration on my part?

I am sorry guys.

Ketrel May 23, 2011 at 21:03 UTC - 0 likesI'm having a problem with the boss health frames. They don't show up, instead I get a semi-transparent black box with a red bar at the top, a little off to the side of where the boss frame is supposed to be located.
