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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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

I must have missed something, because I can't see anywhere in the right click menu where I can do this:
"bind a key to toggle the minimap and/or zoom it full-screen"

I've been looking for this for a while, since it makes pinpointing hard to see herbs a lot easier. Could someone please point me in the right direction for this?

I love this addon and so far all is working well.

Thanks,
Vaul

Key Bindings are only available via the default Blizzard Key Bindings menu.

Escape -> Key Bindings -> simpleMinimap

Thanks much. Full zoom is working well. I don't know if it's possible, but the only improvement I can think of for this function is if there was a way to have it go to the full size, but still be positioned in the top right corner.

I'm having a problem with the item durability indicator not staying where I position it. I'm not sure if it's this mod not taking the setting or another interfering with it, but I'll try without other mods enabled to see if it still does the same thing. Basically, I have it set to be just to the left of the minimap, but the indicator either shows up in its original position, or off to the right (falling off the screen).

How the heck do you change the shape? For some reason it wont let me no matter what command I type...
This mod is harder to use than RDX was back in the day

The Looking for Group button never shows despite being configured to be displayed.

Nifelhein: this is a blizzard bug.

test it: disable ALL addons and log in, join the lfg channel with the lfg tool
result is: NO Looking for Group button

Ohh another pristine result of a flawlessly planned and timely released expansion from Blizzard!

By the way I love the addon, moving the other frames around and how simple it is to use and setup was its selling point.

Thanks for putting the effort into it.

As far as I know none of my other addons does anything to my minimap. Here is my minor problem. I change the settings to 75% size, square with white outline I believe, I turn off the zoom buttons and the calendar. When I log back on the next time, the map is round and the calendar is back up. When I check the options they are all checked how I have them. So I recheck the calendar and it goes back to my new settings and then I uncheck the calendar again. Anyone else have this problem?

Kaltes: I had to same problem. I just followed Kundra's advice and turned my other mods on one at a time until it broke. Turns out it was "FuBar Location" that jacked it up. On the same topic, "FuBar Clock" also removes your clock from SimpleMiniMap.

Any chance you could add the World State Frame (pvp objectives, etc.) to the movers?

sth_devilish: fixed in v30000-5

kikazzi: you can choose which button you want to use for the dewdrop gui. 'GUI' -> 'mouse button' or use '/smm gui mouse' for an overview and than the same command with the button number you want. or you can disable the dewdrop gui...

Kaltes: try v30000-5. if you still have problems: disable all addons expect simpleMinimap and try to reproduce your issue.

Gumurak: do you have another addon that changed the tracking button? disable all addons expect simpleMinimap and try to reproduce your issue.

pinner: hmmm, the mouse clicks (for the dewdrop gui) are only registered to the MinimapCluster frame and the dewdrop gui is drawn on the screen where you release your mouse button. do you have another addon that changes the MinimapCluster frame? try this: disable all addons expect simpleMinimap and try to reproduce it.

CarpeNoctem44: the Rotate Minimap feature has still some minor issues, it only looks good with a round skin, the NSEW compass characters are currently not moving and the N (North) character is always displayed. i try to fix this...maybe...don't know ;)

The addon works perfectly fine for me except one thing... When I click on the "X" button to hide the minimap, it also hides the button, making it IMPOSSIBLE to show the map again (it remains hidden whatsoever, regardless of any slash commands I know). I have to reload UI to make it work. Could you please fix it? It worked fine until WotLK.

Any way to disable the right-click options on the minimap, perhaps using a command key instead? I would prefer to have the rightclick not bound to this addon.

Sorry guys, accidentally replied to an older post.

I'm having an issue, wondering if there is a fix for it. Whenever I login, the location bar does not show on top of the mini map. I need to move the map (even by about a hair), for it to appear. It will remain active that entire session, however if I log off, I will need to move the map again to get the location bar to appear.

Any known fixes?
