Chinchilla Minimap
Chinchilla Minimap alters the Blizzard Minimap in a way to provide much nicer features and other niceties.
- Appearance
- Allows changing of blip size, border style, shape of the map (doesn't have to be circular, or even square, lots of options are available), size, etc.
- 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 colour-blindness
- Zoom
- Use the mouse-wheel to zoom the minimap and zoom out the map automatically after 20 seconds (or so).

Posted Nov 17, 2014curious if anyone can help me. i have the current version installed (2.7.1) and everything works fine except my quest objective/tracker is acting strange. ive been trying to position it on the right side of my UI , so i check the box to move it (it turns orange) and i position it where i want it, when i uncheck the box that should lock it in place it repositions itself in the lower right hand corner of my screen so that all thats visible is 'objectives'. no matter where i move it on my screen, the minute i unclick the check box to lock it in place it zips back to that right hand corner. the only way i can get it to stay visible is if i move it really far up to the top of my screen, but theres a very small area where i can move it where it wont dart back to that bottom right corner the second i uncheck the box. i dont have move anything or quester installed - are there any other addons you can think of that would interfere with this function? any help is appreciated
thanks

Your installed version of Chinchilla is out of date. Please update to v2.7.

Posted Oct 15, 2013Since boss frames was the only issue I have, I am still using latest version. As a workaround I changed from Pitbull4 to ShadowedUnitFrames that have customazation of bossframes.
So for me it's not a issue anymore that I can't move them with this addon.

Thanks for the update. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful or entitled and I got nothing but admiration and appreciation for you. I agree that for this project working/consistent positioning should be the priority.

Believe it or not, the frames being larger was a bug, which in turn created more issues especially with positioning the frames.
This is the default size of the boss frames as defined in Blizzard's XML code.
I may add options to make them bigger again in the future, but I want to get the positioning working first and that will require a huge re-write of that module's code.
Also, I am only one man working on multiple projects, as well as trying to support my fiancée and her child. It will get done. I just don't know when yet. :(

Almost same exact issues as Lisiya. Frames are small and no options to adjust their scale. Frames worked on first boss pull but then didn't work. Reloading the UI didn't seem to fix the issue.

It works now. For me the boss frames are quite small.
Update: First pull on boss, it worked, we wiped and I was ressed inside instance. On second pull, frames were back at minimap again.
Update2: Next pull it worked again, no idea why.

I've made some very ugly changes and I think I've solved it. Please test v2.6-12 and let me know what happens.

Posted Sep 26, 2013I am running latest version (v2.6-6-g14b8bbd) and still have problem with boss frames.
Moving bosss frames seems to work when I configure addon, but as soon as I get in combat in raid, frames are moved back below minimap.
Managed to die in a raid and while out of combat I moved the frames again, it looked like it worked, but after a few seconds the frames moved back below the minimap.

Posted Sep 18, 2013Boss frame support (movement/visibility) has been added back in as of Version 2.6-3 and onwards. The code still isn't optimal but your much-loved features are back.
Enjoy!

Navigate to Interface/AddOns/Chinchilla/Chinchilla.lua and replace WatchFrame:SetHeight(700) on line 177 with WatchFrame:SetHeight(500), save the file and then reload your UI. That should do the trick. :)
The width is handled by Blizzard's code; Chinchilla simply provides a shortcut to the Wider Objectives Window setting.
@Barfolomeu
I've disabled it for now pending a code re-write. In its current state it is more trouble than it is worth. Don't worry, I want to bring it back and it will be much better than before! :)

Posted Sep 16, 2013What happened to the boss frame mover? I noticed that all the boss frames moved back to their default location. Are they no longer tied to the minimap? Inquiring minds want to know.

Posted Sep 15, 2013@ethan - where would I look in the coding then to adjust it to like 500 or so? I play on my laptop quite often and at 700 in length it's a bit long for my liking...I can deal with the width as it is.

I plan to add the title/button hiding options to the Appearance module at some point but I haven't yet decided what to do with quest tracker resizing.
Too many people got confused with how it worked (I'm not kidding) so I removed it and forced the quest tracker to be 700pixels tall instead. It will do for now but I'll keep an eye out and see what the community wants. :)

Posted Sep 12, 2013Any chance you'll add back the Quest Tracker module? I miss not being able to resize the quest tracker as well as hide the title and open/close thingie.

Posted Jun 29, 2013Glad I caught the comments. I was wondering about hiding the bosses also.
