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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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

Hmm, not 100% sure, but I think you may need to reinstall the mod from scratch and remove any leftover saved variables file. I've installed this mod, and I have no conflicts and the mod hasn't demonstrated any problems for me. Removal of all minimap options (i.e. trackers, title, zoom, etc.) still works for me.

There's an option to show the name of person who pinged on the minimap - for some reason the frame containing that name no longer dissapears after few seconds, isntead it stays until I ping on minimap myself.

Sexymap is NOT way better, it has less options, and the times I have used it was buggy as hell.

It has the same, if not more options.
The only option is lacks, is freedom to move map icons where u want. Other than that, there is no problems.

It was just updated yesterday as well. So Im sure the problems we have all had in the past are gone.

Ive been using it since 3.1 and no problems yet.

Way better than an outdated addon [SMM] that constantly breaks, imo.

To each his own though. Good luck

* To fix that 1 quest limit.

Temporary macro i'm using to fix the WatchFrame size and reset the some internal counters.

/script WatchFrame:SetHeight(400)
/script WatchFrame_ClearDisplay()
/script WatchFrame_Update(WatchFrame)

I was able to fix my copy by modifying the simpleMinimap/modules/movers.lua code. Change all instances of QuestWatchFrame to WatchFrame. Here is a diff of the change I made:

I can't track any achievements or quests, but I don't think it's related to SimpleMiniMap. Even if I disable SMM it still won't track. ("You don't have space to track any more objectives, stop tracking some first.")

Is anyone else having a problem with the movers with 3.1? Enabled or Disabled, they don't seem to be working anymore.

In 3.1 my "movers" have been disabled completely and have been reset and do not function anymore. Browsing the Blizzard forums, it appears that they have changed functionality, so we may have to wait on an update from the addon author to be sure.

This project is officially dead and no longer maintained. A fix will not be available. Time to move onto something else people. It appears as if the author went emotional and is complaining that he is unable to do something, so is scrapping the project altogether.

Yeah, the author seems to be throwing a hissy fit about measures wowace and curse implemented to stop wowmatrix from stealing bandwidth. I don't think I want to use an addon that's going to be "held reason" over someone's pet peeves like this anyways. :P
