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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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

archiv, uhh...you can move all the default minimap buttons. perhap you mean move like move anywhere on the screen? with the mod currently they just move around the minimap.
evilen, odd. i use skin3 (the square minimap with border) all the time no problem. skin4 is the square map with no border. it sounds like maybe the square minimap mask BLP got corrupted somehow. have you tried deleting the folder and re-downloading it?

Any chance to move the default buttons like bg, mail etc. ?

If you get MoveAnything, you can move those aspects and resize/hide as well...

I got the new version of this mod, and I get an error when going to:
smm skin 3, smm skin 4
It turns the minimap green and I get an error, Also the minimap skin I use: skin 3 with the new version does not have a border around it, neither does the defailt circle, there's no border... Using v17 for now which I've no problems with.

necrosanct, the cornor skin was borrowed from an abandoned mod called dLx CornerMinimap. i didn't make it. if you want to make skins for the other 3 corners i would gladly include them in the download.

Is it possible to add in a Corner skin that works if I like the map on the left as opposed to the right?

titoudoc, well...it does work with ctbuff fine, at least it doesnt' brake anything. however, ctbuff makes a new buff frame and anchors the frame to the bottom of the minimap. so, if you move the minimap to the bottom of the screen the buff frame goes off the screen. easily fixed by turning on ctmod movement and repositioning the new buff frame.
kalem, i looked into this a little awhile back, before i had alot of experience with it. ya, i can add that to the next one, shouldn't be hard.

Is it possible to get something put in to hide the default buttons such as the mail icon, track icon (herb, ore, etc), bg que, etc?
I've looked around a LOT and can't find anything that does this in a good manner that doesnt add a bunch of stuff I don't want or already have with something else.
Thanks.

I have installed latest version today and the right click doesn't work: it pings the minimap instead of opening configuration window. I don't know why...

I did some further testing yesterday, and it seems to be "MoveAnything" that interferes with "SimpleMinimap". When I had MA disabled, the minimap stayed where it's supposed to be.
Fortunately I found a way to run both mods at the same time, and having my minimap in the position where I want it. :-)

Hi! Very nice Mod you made! Great work so!
One little Idea for the future: It would be nice if I could move my Tracking abilities (licke Mining, Humanoids form Hunter, etc.) like the Zoom-Buttons. Cause on the Cornermap the Button is slithly in the Map.

Go on this Mod is great!

Unfortunately, v15d did not solve my moving-problems with this addon. :(
Slowly but surely I do think as well that it is another addon that is causing this problems with SMM, but I have no idea so far which one it is..... :-\

Sounds like another addon is clashing with SMM and causing the minimap to move.
