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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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

1.) As I already said, when I deleted the "Bongos_Map"-thing, my problems were gone. ;-)
2.) I couldn't figure out a certain event when my minimap changes its position.
3.) Hopefully the new version fixes this issue - gonna test it as soon as possible. :)

ya, i changed the config a bit and didn't change the slash commands to address it. i was planning on dropping the slash commands all-together, but people seem to like them. new version up, sorry for the mix-up.

Just right click on the minimap, you'll see the options there.

The hide slash command doesn't work. Right clicking on the minimap does, though.
Here's the bug I got when I typed /smm hide zoom Interface\AddOns\simpleMinimap\simpleMinimap.lua:323: attempt to index field `hide' (a nil value)
It looks pretty good other than that, I'll give it a shot today, as with Logan1981, I'm tired of not having CleanMiniMap, and this looks like a more than suitable replacement.

farook, i use bongos too, but i don't use the Bongos_Map part. perhaps just not loading this module will fix everything for you?
logan1981, thank you =).

Thanks for this addon. Have previously been using CleanMiniMap, but rather impatiently, can't be arsed waiting for the dev to reapply the move function. Glad to see Simple Minimap still has its move function, my minimap again sits in its correct position :)
I also like the right click for options menu, very handy, very easy to access. The scale, skin and visibilty sliders are a nice touch too.
Thanks again.

Okay, brought my minimap back into the game... it was "Bongos". :-p
Hmmm, to me it seems the minimap is changing its position randomely, not only when zoning or so. But I will take another closer look at this tonight, maybe I can find out the circumstances in a more detailed way.

I will support you with further infos on that asap. Unfortunately, since v1.12 my minimap doesn't show up at all (I think it is a problem with Bongos, and not your mod). When I have those problems solved, I will take a closer look at the problem mentioned before.
Cheers, Farook

tried to PM but the system seems to be down...
you're going to have to give me more information. the minimap does not move for me, i cannot see your screen, i have no idea what "open a menu" means. if i can't re-create the problem or at least get a good, logical understanding of it then i cannot fix it.
"opening a menu" means pressing ESC and bringing up the game menu?

the issue with Bibmod came up before. i've installed Biibmod myself and used it with SMM and had no problems. the trick is to not touch Bibmod's minimap mover. delete you WTF Bibmod files, and when you setup Bibmod again don't touch the minimap. see more comments on Bibmod further down the comment list...
i tried to make SMM "play nice" with other mods, but still take control when you want it to. if you don't touch anything with SMM then it doesn't change anything, so you can use other mods to modify the minimap. however, as soon as you use SMM to move the map it moves the ClearAllPoints and SetPoint functions to keep other mods from moving the frame(s). also, since B comes before S in the alphabet, it could be that Bibmod is getting to the minimap before SMM and that's what's causing your shifting.
i just realised that Bibmod maybe using another function, SetAllPoints, that SMM doesn't touch and could still make the minimap move. on the next version i'll move that function moved as well...
