simpleMinimap

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

simpleMinimap is a module-centric addon for modifying and personalizing one of the center-pieces of any UI - the minimap. the core simpleMinimap mod has these features...

* left-click and drag the minimap anywhere
* hide and move the default minimap buttons
* zoom in and out with the mousewheel
* adjust the minimap's scale, outdoor alpha and strata
* bind a key to toggle the minimap and/or zoom it full-screen
* type '/smm' for a list of commands

simpleMinimap also comes with several modules. these modules can be disabled and/or the files can be deleted if you don't need or want access to the features. they are located in the simpleMinimap/modules folder...

* Autozoom - automatically zoom-out minimap after delay
* Compass - NSEW markings on the minimap
* Coords - small frame that shows map coordinates
* GUI - dropdown setup menus (default is right-click on minimap)
* Movers - allows movement of UI frames attached to the minimap
* Pings - popup frame that shows the minimap pinger's name
* Skins - allows for changing the minimap's skin (square, corner)

thanks to...

* joev - for the original CleanMinimap
* Davik - for the square minimap skin
* grimman - for the dLx corner skin
* Contusion - for rotating the dLx corner skin

Mine is somewhat similar. It location bar will not display on top of the map until I move the mini map, even just a hair. Once I move it, the location bar will appear for that game period. If I log out, I have to move the mini map again to get the location bar to show. It will, however, remain active even while moving between different zones.

Any word on the overlapping windows? This addon is perfect except for that.

They behave as normal, and you move them by whatever conventions you normally would. They are not effected by the radius setting in the SimpleMiniMap config. (At least none of the ones I had were.)

This is a really good addon if you like square maps. However I am unfortunately switching away from it today because I use rotate minimap, which means I need a round map skin, of which there are no custom skins for this addon. Its also a mess to import your own skin textures.

Having 2 problems:

1. As someone below also seems to be having trouble with, I can't see my Tracking Button.
2. When I first got the mod, I played around with moving the map to the lower right. After an hour, I decided I wanted it back where it usually goes. However, now whenever I change an option in SMM or relogin, it moves the map back to the lower right. Just zaps it down there. It's REALLY ticking me off.

Any ideas anyone? If I can't get either of these two things fixed, I won't be able to use this addon and I really like it otherwise.

what i really want is the buff frame to still be attached to the minimap, just slid over. MoveAnything would move it as an independent frame which I would then need to move again if I resized the minimap.

any chance we could get a feature to adjust the position of the default buff frame?

Do so love the addon, but still can't see the darn calendar. Sadly, its got to be another addon keeping it from showing because no matter the map addon I use, no calendar button.

Still and all, glad to see it up and running.

For those not seeing the calendar icon, are you running anything like the fubar_clockfu that hides the old day/night indicator? Basically anything that hid THAT will hide the calendar button.

the 'funny thing' ;) issue:
fixed in simpleMinimap-v30000-3

That was really really strange, because simpleMinimap is doing nothing to this frames at all.

The missing StopMovingOrSizing() call after moving the minimap (or selecting another profile with a moved minimap) caused that behavior... sorry!

Please post a comment if you still have problems...

btw: I just maintain this addon as good as I can, the original author is arJuna.

Additional confirmation that SimpleMinimap is causing other frames (such as the character, macro, profession and others) to overlap. Disabling SimpleMinimap resolves the issue.

Sorry, also, when I hit "reset profile" the character frames will go back to normal. and when i reconfigure SMM it is fine, until I log out and log back in the character panes start overlapping again.

"SMM does a funny thing: if activated my character frames (character, talents, profession etc.) are overlapping. If deactivated the normal behavior occurs: two character frames parallel. I'm running serveral other addons and deactivated them one by one and only SMM does that. Don't know what to do I love SimpleMiniMap for now more than a year now. Any ideas?"

I am having the same issue and it is quite annoying. All my panes(char screen, social pane, spellbook) overlap eachother and bug out. Why SMM affects this is beyond me.

Please fix it. I do not want to find an alternative to SMM

Calendar icon: This is now the same frame as the old sun/moon frame: 'GameTimeFrame'. Check if you have another addon (eg FuBar_ClockFu) that changes this frame too.
Calendar icon size: hmm the icon is huge by default. maybe I add an option to resize it...don't know
GUI: With '/smm gui enabled' you can enable/disable the mouseclick gui.
Tracking button: sorry can't reproduce. works fine for me
Mousewheel zoom & Minimap Button Frame: works fine without mbf...don't know what mbf is doing, must look at mbf code first
'movers module': look at picture 2 that shows an example. This frames are attached to the MinimalCluster by WoW default!!! If you want to move the minimap to the bottom do first: enable 'movers' and move frames around. Than move your minmap to the bottom.
funny thing: (quote:'SMM does a funny thing: if activated my character frames (character, talents, profession etc.) are overlapping.')
sorry can't reproduce. works fine for me
location text and frame hide/show if login/out: sorry can't reproduce. works fine for me
Clock: this is currently not movable and there is no option in smm to hide/show it. you can hide/show this in the InterfaceOptions menu. I try to add an option to do this with smm too...if I have some time.
button move if minimap is in a corner: I can move the buttons around without problems. with any skin and in any corner... You must enable skin, so the radian can be calculated.

If you have problems with simpleMinimap please do the following:
- disable ALL addons expect simpleMinimap (and eg BugGrabber) and try to reproduce your issue
- if there is a problem: delete SaveVars (this is normally not needed, but in rare cases it can help) from simpleMinimap (make a backup) and try again
- still a problem: post

Most issues posted here has something to do with other addons that use similar/same functions as simpleMinimap (CaptureBar/QuestLog move, Calendar icon hide/show or whatever). In such a case you should disable this feature in one addon.
