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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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

After updating it is not possible for me to call down the menu by clicking right on the map. Any help? It's also all mixed up.

dwizz, seems pretty straight forward. wonder why i'm not able to recreate? does it happen with other mods disabled? the only thing even similar to what you're describing that i've seen is if you move the minimap off the screen then try to rescale it (it does random stuff like covering the whole screen when you do this). but even putting it on the edge doesn't cause it, you need to move the whole frame off-screen. which i imagine you are not doing?
locked, ya. i didn't bother to really look at the enable/disable code until recently. should be fixed now.

Ok, here is exactly what happened. Every time I would install a new version of SMM, and would try to adjust the scale, The scale would set correctly verticaly, but horrizontaly it would stretch out the minimap to go all the way accross the screen. Prior to the Ace 2 version, simply deleting my saved variables would fix this. But in the latest release it did not.
But after messing around with it for a while, I found that just moving the minimap to a different location, and then moving it back prevented this. I don't know if it's just me, but I seem to be the only one having this issue. and it has been every time I updated. I will see if I can get a screeny next time.

/smm modules gui enable This doesn't seem to work...I had to delete my saved variables to get the mouse clicking to work again. /smm reset didnt fix it either.

anrikus & dwizz, i'm not able to recreate the problems. the alpha is working fine and i am able to scale the minimap before and after moving without any problems.
for the scaling, i'm not sure what's going on. can you describe the circumstances better?
for the alpha, it only changes the alpha if you are outside. lowering the alpha inside will cause the minimap to dissapear, so it's locked at 1 then.

Ok, for the past few versions of SMM, when I set the scale, it would set correctly verticly, but horizontaly, it would span the entire screen. Previously me just deleting the saved variable and restarting WoW would fix this, but this isn't the case with the new version.
Yes I deleted all the saved variables per character. And yes, I deleted the old version before putting the new one in the addons folder.
Also I'm getting errors when I disable and enable minimap buttons.
**EDIT** It seems if I move the Minimap and then set the scale it works fine. Not sure what it is, just thought I would let you know. Moving the map also seemed to stop the errors I was getting when disabling and enabling buttons.

Awesome, glad you found the issue. Other than that, it's working beautifully! So glad to see you've gone to Ace2 :)

ya, i see it now. found out you have to call a function when you change zones before you can get coordinates. opening the map will fix it. wasn't happening when i was usign all my mods, so something else was calling the funciton for me (my gues would be MetaMap).
prolly release a 'final' today unless there's any more issues i need to fix.

Lemme try a few out and I'll get back to you asap.
~Anolin

Edit* Okay, I just tried a few flightpaths and it does indeed happen on any flightpath where one of the coordinates reaches 0. For instance, the flight path from IF to Menethil habor: When I got close to Menethil, the coordinates were counting down like this: 54,4 54,3 54,2 54,1 and as soon as it went to 54,0, both coordinates when to 0,0 and wouldn't change until I logged out.

Since they always read 0,0 in an instance, can the window just be hidden automatically? Just a suggestion. :)

They still act up when getting on a Gryphon. They work fine up until I land, then it shows 0,0 as my coords and wont reset until I log out and log back in. Not sure what's going on.

Edit* Lemme be a bit more specific: I took the Alliance flight path from Theramore to Gadgetzan. While flying out in the ocean, my coords went to 0,0. Upon landing at Gadgetzan, they stayed 0,0 and would not change until I logged out of the game. Hope this helps!

hmm, coords seems to remember enabled fine here...maybe i fixed something in a drunken stooper and don't remember doing it? try the new beta. the frame will read 0,0 in instances and other places where there are no coordinates to show.
mael, i don't like SVN. i think it makes authors lazy and not release 'final' versions. and using SVN is a pain for small, one-man projects like this

I have the same problem as Kebinusan. I disable the coords and after a relog the window is there again, displaying the coords (0,0) all the time.
