Foglight

Version: 2.5

by: semlar [More]

Fills in unexplored areas on the world map and provides a satellite view of the surrounding area.

Adds a small dropdown menu to the bottom right of the map to switch views.

This is not a map replacement, it simply attaches to the map frame and should be compatible with most existing map addons.

2.5 - Added underwater maps for vash'jir, prevented updates if map hasn't changed.
2.4 - Changed menu to a standard dropdown, adjusted frame levels to reduce interference.
2.3 - Added a new menu to toggle the different views, updated the database.
2.2 - Fixed bug with satellite map displaying in Silvershard Mines and other maps like it.
2.1 - Fixed bug with satellite map displaying in microdungeons.
2.0 - Added satellite map.
1.03 - Hid check button for maps without fog.
1.02 - Moved unexplored overlay textures to appear beneath the explored areas.
1.01 - Fixed world map highlight showing up under the overlays.

Yes works fine and the performance is already much better now. Thanks for the quick fix

BTW was the "slow" loading of the map limited to server speed of is it even slower if you have not a SSD hard drive like me?

I understand what the modes did but thought the names of the buttons don't let you know what they do so I changed it like this now:
local moads = {'Hybrid', 'Off', 'Satmap', 'Unexplored'}

I'm thinking about for what the addon coud be usfull for, maybe Questing? Or if you want to explore a part of the map there shoud be a indicator to show where you have to go to trigger it.

The last option on the list makes it just fill in unexplored areas and hides the terrain map. You'll only notice a difference on a character that hasn't explored the map yet.

I added screenshots with the different modes so you can see the difference.

Anywhere after "local menu [...]" should do it. If you want to change the graphic for the button you can use foglightmenuButton:SetNormalTexture('path') (there's also SetPushedTexture and SetHighlightTexture). Ah, also if you want to make it so you can click on the menu instead of the button to pull it up you can do this.. Lua Code: foglightmenu:SetScript('OnMouseDown', function(self) ToggleDropDownMenu(nil, nil, self) end) foglightmenuText:SetJustifyH('LEFT') will left-align the text.

If you want to hide the background of the menu you can try this..

Lua Code:

foglightmenuLeft:Hide()
foglightmenuMiddle:Hide()
foglightmenuRight:Hide()

EDIT: Works fine thanks
note: don't edit addons while in hc raids^^

The reason you couldn't use the menu with mMap is because they set the frame strata of the title bar (the one you click to drag) to the highest possible setting so it just shows up over everything else. I don't know why they did this because as far as I can tell you can't drag the mMap window.

The map is dragable (has to be enabled in lua -> local lock_map_position = false) for my Interface I have modiefied the map to show up biger, it has a transperent black border and I made cordinates more precise.

The new dropdown looks much better!
But there is no way to hide the the button texture (not the dropdown arrow) or maybe only make it thiner/shorter? I dont know about the hide part the dropdown menu but I tryed to resize it by myself with UIDropDownMenu_SetWidth(frame, width, padding) but don't realy know what i have to put into it so it works...

Hm wowhead has maps/names in all languages...
If it helps I can send you German folder of blizzards code

Anyway, to answer your questions about my subzone project - I will be making it draw on the normal map but I haven't yet decided what it will look like, you're welcome to offer any suggestions. It definitely won't look like the northrend screenshot, they will only display on (basically) the smallest map they appear on. Although I am kind of partial to this look.

Thanks your other project looks awsome (are you planing to hide subzonesnames on the overview map or mybe show the bignames on top?) And will the names translate automatic?

To foglight update:

1. is it possible to remove the texture of the fog button? so it only shows the fog text as clickable button?

2. The "All Terain" Button is hard to hit if I use mMap. The button is only hitable on the very top because its overlaying the map.

3. Its not a big deal but if you close the map while options are open the options are still there next time you open it (but they'll fade then)

4. Woudn't it be cooler with a dropdown (drop upwards) menu?

5. the Player arrow is faded out in the "All Terain" view
