MinimapTarget

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Out of combat, right-click on minimap blips to open a targeting menu. This is intended to be used by those classes with tracking capabilities, like hunters and feral druids in cat form. Just to be clear: this cannot work in combat.

MinimapTarget comes with an MinimapTarget_Decorator, an optional module that adds class, level and reaction information to player and pet menu entries. Data are passively gathered from guild roster, party/raid roster, battleground scoreboard and when the mouse hovers over characters and unit frames. This module can be safely disabled at character selection screen.

Please report any issue using the wowace ticket tracker. Please actually check existing tickets to avoid creating duplicate ones. Please include detailed description of the issue, including were you where, what you wanted to target, and if you were using a minimap addon. Also make sure you enabled Lua error reports and are reporting any error message related to MinimapTarget.

Works in Classic wow. Not in Burning Crusade :(

I can't figure out why. It is not the out of date loading thingy.

Won't work. Who can fix it for TBC?

about r66..

In BG, hard to find a similar name.
Therefore, /targetexact than using /target is good.

Please test it.
MinimapTarget.lua
198 line ..
Try replacing. /targetexact -> /target

I had a test done, good working.

Dear Adirelle... Would you like my idea?

If it does not work for any opposing player in BG but still works perfectly for anyone outside of them, there is a chance Blizzard broke it on purpose. In this case, there is no point in continuing development as this is the only interesting feature of the addon.
Does it still work with enemy players in open world ?

In Battle Ground, the same server are still good work. Whether enemy or ally.
But,in BG, whether enemy or ally if the different servers, does not work correctly.

Players on the same server name is displayed simply.
Another server in between the player and server name "-" is displayed.
Perhaps the problem might have to do?

This is interesting. Could you please check which of these macros are working for players from other realms ?

/target name

/target name-realm

/targetexact name

/targetexact name-realm

MinimapTarget is using the 3rd for players of the same realm and the 2nd for the others. This was working before 4.3, but maybe they changed the behavior of these commands.

So i guess just like all the other awesome minimap targeting addons, this one has come to an end, as the developer isn't responding anymore.

This mod is working everywhere except Battlegrounds. In a BG, you can still right click the blip and see the names but when you try and click on the name, it will not target - period. Also I've encountered what is possibly an incompatibility error with another mod.

Apparently, I have two mods not playing nice with each other. MinimapTarget and Chinchilla. I'm posting this on both. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

The indicators that show if a target is below or above you are messing with this addon.

They're new indicators introduced in patch 4.3
