Posted Jul 13, 2006"How do you make it not drag your quest you put on the screen."
i'm not sure what this means. what quest i put on the screen?
the location bar is just the default one, even with the square minimap. i have considered resizing it smaller but thought that might beinviting problems and didn't really look into it. i'll look...

Posted Jul 11, 2006The alpha problem also exists when you Minimize WoW on a Mac (apple-M). To make the map appear the alpha needs to be set to 1.

Posted Jul 11, 2006@arjuna I've a addon author myself (made myMusic, clearChat, ... + modded tons of other addons to my liking), so I know what code to add. It was just a feature request, and I can live w/o it. Althoguh, for other players I think that function would be great.

Posted Jul 10, 2006@sibbor - ya, in the description here i show how to modify the TOC file for per-character saves. i don't plan on writing all the code to do this since a single line in the TOC can just be changed for the same effect. it sounds simple, but it does require a bit of code to do.
@jivefly - there's a bug with the minimap (with Blizz's code, not with this mod) that when you lower the alpha the map will dissapear when you go inside. raise the alpha to 1 to fix it. i'm looking into adding the code to automatically put the alpha to 1 inside then back to whatever outside, not sure how to figure out if you are inside or not...

Posted Jul 10, 2006When I enter a building, such as Iron Forge, or an instance, the minimap doesn't display the terrain inside of the area. It's a blank transparent area instead of showing the map.

Posted Jul 8, 2006Really nice addon I must say. simpleMinimap > CleanMinimap. It works like a charm on my computer, and it doesn't interfere with any of my ~150 other addons. Good work!
Btw, for my own sake I changed SavedVariables to SavedVariablesPerCharacter in the TOC-file. That's because I use different GUI:s and scaling for my characters, and wanted the settings to be saved per character. Perhaps something that should be included in the addon? Perhaps via slash command; "/smm save global|character" or so?
Well... 10/10!

Posted Jul 4, 2006mouse wheel doesn't work at all? maybe you have another mod interfearing. try disabling all your mods exceptfor sM and see if that helps.
never noticed before, but keypad + and - does seem to work fine for minimap zoom even with the zoom buttons hidden. must be part of the default UI. again, sounds like somethign else is causign a conflict.

Posted Jul 3, 2006These keys used to work and now do not when I have smm loaded and the zoom buttons hidden. I guess they were part of cleanminimap. How can I get them to work again? Also, the mousewheel zooming does not work. :(

I guess I am going to have to go back to using CleanMinimap - the inability to zoom the map with the zoom buttons hidden is a showstopper for me. :(

Posted Jun 6, 2006probably not going to happen. a GUI would add more code then the mod itself uses. besides, all you need to remember is /smm, the help screen will tell you where to go from there. it's not like you tweak the map every time you play =).

Posted May 22, 2006For those interested in improving the basic interface, a good compliment to this addon is MinimalUI, which auto-hides parts of both the minimap and the main bar.
Great job with this addon!

Posted May 21, 2006there is a known issue where maps will dissapear when you are inside and the minimap alpha is < 1. apparently this is an issue wih Blizz's code and it's not specific to this mod.
