- Background Color can be changed from the config screen

- Basic Localization in English, Spanish, French, German, Korean, Russian, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)

Known Issues

Metamap minimap button is incompatable due to the way it is handled in the addon.

The addon does not grab button that do not have a name currently.

Currently discovered addons that are this way are:

Enchantrix (Part of Auctioneer Advanced)
onRaid

The Blizzard buttons that only show up under certain conditions, (battleground, LFG) will only display on the Frame when they are shown normally and active scanning is enabled. Otherwise they will apprear on the minimap when they are shown.

The Add feature is a little more powerful than I originally expected. So you can accidentally grab things that you didn't expect to be able to. (Other Addons) I've tried to protect the blizzard interface features and a couple other things, but let me know if you can grab something that you don't think you should be able to. If you do accidentally add something to the bag you can always remove it.

I've added a lot to the Localization, so it's another quick and dirty, horrible translation. Thanks again for the crazyness Google. So if you can do a better translation please help me out and submit it to me so I can add it to MBF. Hopefully Google didn't make them too funny or offensive.

Note:

The ability to add minimap icons to the table can be a general or partial name of the icons. The button override table add should be the exact name of the button that you want to override and collect.

As always your feedback is more than welcome!

I think this is a new issue with the latest (2.1) release of MBF. I always keep the frame collapsed (hidden) and recently after the latest update I've noticed that there are a number of Minimap Buttons that remain scattered on the map. Once I open the MBF frame they are all grabbed and resorted into their proper locations within the frame. They will stay that way until I logout. Once I logout and then log back in, they end up scattered all over the place again. Performing the same procedure (i.e. opening the frame) gathers them all up again.

If I logout with the frame open and then log back in, the wayward buttons are at first scattered, but after a second or two they are corralled into the MBF frame.

Here are the addons with wayward buttons:

- SmartBuff
- MrPlow
- BulkMail
- Ora2

I do use a minimap replacement. it is Chincilla by CKKnight - http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...hinchilla.aspx

I did NOT notice this behavior with the previous release of MBF.

I'll look into this. Thanks for the info.

It used to be, but a lot of people wanted MBF to do square buttons seperately. I can look into what it would take to make it work with ButtonFacade again.

This is because both MBF and simpleMinimap are attempting to do the same thing. You can use either simpleMinimap or MBF to control the minimap icons but if you use simpleMinimap or any addon that attempts to manipulate the Blizzard icons you'll run into this error. MBF also attempts to keep hidden any Blizzard icon you've selected to hide.

So in short the reason for the error is an incompatability with MBF and any addon that manipulates the Blizzard icons. They work together but it will throw soft errors if you attempt to control the icons with both programs.

Hi!

Thank you for the nice addon, started using it and can't stop
Today was experimenting with simpleMinimap http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...e-minimap.aspx, it's option to show/hide minimap button and realised it's having issue with MBF.

Which borders? The ones on the buttons or the one on MBF? MBF has an option to hide it's own border.

It handles that one just fine. Make sure you don't have another addon that is messing with the minimap buttons. This includes mods that change the minimap.

Thanks for the update. I didn't mention before how much I depend on MBF. I prefer this approach far more than MBB, and I have so many addons, I need SOMETHING to handle all those retarded buttons! So I really appreciate your work. It was just frustrating that it was always freezing.

New version almost done. I'm pretty sure I have the FuBar issues fixed this time. Along with the mysterious freezing issue.

Could that have something to do with what's wrong?
Actually that's normal for a wow addon. Check out a few of the others and you'll see the same type of thing.
