there are a few frames attached to the minimap. like, when you shift-click on a quest and it puts the objectives on your main window, this frame is attached to the minimap. if, like me, you move the minimap to the bottom of the screen then this frame would go off the bottom. the 'movers' allow you to move these frames, frames that are normally attached to the minimap.
Simple question for someone who's not used SMM before, what are the movers? They popped up when I first installed it and at first I thought something had gone wrong!
fetchy, /smm hide location
dok, unfortunately, i don't have a beta account so i'll have to wait until 2.0 is actually official before testign any of this mod with BC. from what little i've read, it doesn't sound like SMM should be affected much, but that's just a best-guess.
I noticed it started working again, but the next day. Some funky state I guess.
Whats the command to hide the "X" in the top right corner. THe one that hides the minimap itself?
tried: /smm hide close /smm hide minimap
I've noticed I don't get a real-time display of the time in queues or time I'll be removed from a queue on the battleground icon.
jivefly, you shouldn't need to install anythign for Ace2. the libraries are embedded, they are part of the SMM download. the first method of troubleshooting would be to dissable all of your other mods and run SMM solo. does it work correct? if so, start adding in mods back one or two or a few at a time. the problems your having are probably a conflict with another mod, so the trick is to find which mod it is. when you find out please let me know, thanks.
I've tried everything to get this addon to work correctly. I have Ace2 installed to the best of my knowledge, none of the other addons that were said to have conflict with simpleminimap, but I can't seem to get the Zoom buttons to stay hidden. They pop back up not too long after hiding them. I can't use scaling or any kind of alpha because the map completely locks up and is not functional after trying to adjust these settings so I'm forced to restart WoW.
Anyone else have these problems or am I doing something wrong?
Would I lose my addon settings if I delete all of my saved variables from the folder?
I'm started wow after minimap update, and i get a big, fat map in my screen. Can't see anything, just this map... The reset did not help. :( Ok. solved: deleted the savedvariables.
The problem lies in installing the 3 ace2-addons together: simpleminimap, sprocket and clique. Sprocket and simpleminimap dont have problems with each other only if clique is also installed.
When all 3 are installed, simpleminimaps button config is messed up and sprocket produces error messages:
Error: AceModuleCore-2.0: OnInstanceInit cannot be called twice AddOn: Sprocket File:AceOO-2.0.lua Line:733
Error: attempt to index field `totalModules' (a nil value) File:...procket\Libs\AceModuleCore-2.0\AceModuleCore-2.0.lua Line:117
Error: attempt to index field `totalModules' (a nil value) File:...procket\Libs\AceModuleCore-2.0\AceModuleCore-2.0.lua Line:164
Seems to be that one of the addons causes a bug with the ACElibraries.
wurst, tried Clique for several hours today and had no issues.
wurst, a better description would probably be in order. not sure what 'clique' does to the minimap. i'll try installign the mod and see what happens on my end.
beteck, is it possible to reset DM where it relates to the minimap? for instance, i use a mod called MoveAnything and i had to reset the minimap parts to 'free' them up for SMM to use. unfortunately, i chose a letter at the end of the alphebet for this mod (S) so it loads towards the end after other mods have doen their thing. so mods like Discord and MoveAnything get first shot simply because they are lower in alphebetical order. also, you could try deleting your WTF file settings for Discord and when you re-set it up just not touch anything minimap related.
alfrunnah, first time i've heard of this... try "/smm reset" and then switch skins. does this still happen if you disable other mods?
mashonowen, maybe you disabled the GUI mod? or perhaps you changed the button to use? "/smm modules gui" will give you the options.
grande, i use gatherer as well and haven't noticed the issue you're describing. i've even set the minimap to the highest strata (8) and had no issues. you can try resetting the minimap with "/smm reset" and try disabling other mods you have that could be causign a conflict.
shroomism, sounds like you changed the strata. the default is "1" (background), try setting it back
simpleminimap and "clique" dont like each other, when i install clique my configuration for simpleminimap gets messed up. Both addons use ace2, you can find clique here:

First wanna say thanks for a kick a** addon. But I am having a little problem I set the location where I want the minimap to be than lock it, the second I bring up Discord Action or Unit Frams it resets its location. and places it elsewhere. Do you or anyone else here know of a fix for this issue? As I want to keep this addon.
When set to the corner skin with the rounded edge... as soon as I click on any action button it resets itself back to square. In the GUI option the corner setting is still set but I have to click it off, then back on for it to go back to the proper skin. Then it goes back to square again as soon as I click an action button. I use DAB for my action bars but a friend of mine has the same and his don't reset. Any ideas?
It's late and this is probably a dumb question with a simple answer, but I did something that made it so that I can no longer access the gui by clicking on the minimap. Now it just pings. Any way I can fix this? Thanks.
Seems there some strange bug with strata. Whenever you use the strata options the herb(mining, whatever you got active and want to see on the minimap) icon/mailbox icon disappears. It's like you alpha the icons or something. But whenever you take strata up or down the icon reappears quickly and disappears again, so its there, just not showing because you fizzled with strata.
Hope you know what I mean and fix it
- Cheers
Well, after deleting the variables, it works. But it does not save my set options, they are being deleted every time once I log back into the game.
v11200-8 seems to be reporting itself as v11200-2.
Overlay:
The previous version of SMM worked fine.
This new one, I like.. but having a problem.. The minimap is staying on top no matter what. For example.. I click on one of my minimap buttons for the menu.. the menu pops up but it is UNDER the minimap and I can't see the options.
Same deal for my bags. One of my bags opens up directly over top of the minimap. In previous version, the bag would just cover the minimap.. now in this one, the minimap covers the bag and I can't access the items unless I move the minimap.
Little help?
