    Chinchilla Minimap  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: 2.7.2
    by: ckknight, Ethan Centaurai

    Chinchilla Minimap alters the Blizzard Minimap in a way to provide much nicer features and other niceties.

    Appearance

    Allows changing of blip size (useful since 3.1), border style, shape of the map (doesn't have to be circular, or even square, lots of options are available), size, etc.
    Auto zoom
    Zoom out the map automatically after 20 seconds (or so).
    Compass
    A more flexible north-east-south-west indicator.
    Coordinates
    Show your location coordinates
    Expander
    Make the minimap very big temporarily (good for gathering or finding a tough-to-spot enemy).
    Location
    Show the name of your location more flexibly.
    Move buttons
    Move the buttons around the minimap to wherever you want (even off the minimap entirely).
    Ping
    Show which team-mate pinged the minimap
    Position
    Position the minimap and frames around it.
    Range circle
    Show on the minimap where your range extends to
    Show / Hide
    Show or hide various frames related to the minimap
    Tracking dots
    Change the dots on the map to a different set of images. Very handy, especially if you suffer from colorblindness.
    Wheel zoom
    Mousewheel to zoom the minimap

    Tagging as v2.7.2.

    --------------------

    Ethan Centaurai:
    - Reverted all code related to the ObjectiveTrackerFrame back to how it was in Version 2.7.
    - Position: Applied Cybeloras' band-aid pending total module overhaul.
    - Position: Fixed a bug that caused the vehicle seats artwork to appear stretched across the screen.
    - Appearance: Updated the custom blip maps to match Blizzard's layout in Patch 6.0.3.
    - Position: Restored feature to move the objectives tracker, but it is disabled if MoveAnything or Quester is installed.
    - Core: Unregister show/hide events from the Garrison Report button.
    - ShowHide: The Garrison button is now set to always show by default.
    - Appearance: Re-added options to hide quest banners and collapse button.
    - ShowHide: Buttons should no longer remain stuck to the cursor if they get hidden while being dragged around the minimap.
    - ShowHide: Allowed the dungeon difficulty flag to appear when hovering the cursor over the minimap.
    - Core: Removed MoveAnything from optional dependencies list.
    - Position: Removed options to move the objectives tracker, because conflicts. Please use Quester, MoveAnything, or rObjectiveTrackerMover instead.

    This reverts commit 9b2f8a7bd59b97f8ecd343b0498750b438d7e917.
    - Position: Only move the actual Minimap, not the entire freaking MinimapCluster. ~lart ckknight
    - Appearance: Removed the "waffle-like" texture that shows in the blue quest objective area.
    - Leave MoveAnything as an optional dependency for now.
    - Revert "Force the MoveButtons, Position and ShowHide modules into a disabled state if MoveAnything is installed."
    This reverts commit 08f01cee3ea86cf2e16c65ac36ba072dc66c8a3a.
    - Force the MoveButtons, Position and ShowHide modules into a disabled state if MoveAnything is installed.
    - Move a comment.
    - QuestTracker: Hide the "Objectives" label text when hiding the collapse button.
    - Removed pre-6.0.2 compatibility layer.

    I'd like to apologise for my lack of input on here. For those of you who follow me on Twitter you'll know that I have been suffering from manic depression and mild anxiety for a long time now. It cripples me and the medication I currently take does nothing to help.

    I haven't left the game or given up programming. In fact, I still very much enjoy both of these things.

    Chinchilla Minimap will be updated to work with Mists of Pandaria. Here is a working beta version for those who want it.

    Please understand that this is an incredibly difficult time for me.

    But I haven't given up.

    Not yet.

    I'd love to be able to move the expander, depending on which character/profile I'm on. In any case, centered seems like it's in the way for herbing and such (which this feature is amazing for combined with GatherMate).

    Thanks

    Stuff won't move!
    Hi, I'd really like to enjoy this Addon; but for some reason the position feature doesn't work for me. I try to move the minimap with the Horizontal/Vertical bar and nothing changes, and if I try to click and drag it move as it should but when I release the button it pings back to the top corner (and anything else I've moved around gets reset also).

    Any help that could be given would be appreciated, I hope I'm just missing a setting but I can't see how since I literally installed it only a moment ago.

    So far I am enjoying this addon in my UI Compilation. I do have 1 request or question if it is possible to be fixed or added in...

    At the moment, When I close/hide the map, everything with it (such as LFR/BG/Zoom Buttons) goes hidden with it. The only exception is the Difficulty Flag (guild / instance flag). Is it possible to attach this to be hidden when I have the map hidden as well?

    Keep up the great work.

    Version 2.5.2a has been uploaded. The package has been repackaged and I'm *certain* the folder is correct and the Libs are actually included this time.

    Sorry about that.

    Ahh.. poop. I don't see it (the funky border) on any of the other blips within Chinchilla, and they're .tga. I guess I'm out of luck for now, as I have no idea how to fix it. Thanks for the response!

I'm not sure if I'm not saving it correctly (as a .tga, 32 bits/pixel) or what. :\ I have tried 24 bits and 16 bits, which did not seem to correct the issue. I followed the format of the other blip images under the folders "Art" and "TrackingDots" (because I noticed they are different). Also, I edited both of the trackingdots.lua files in the folders "Modules" and "TrackingDots" to add the correct/corresponding image paths in.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
    All of the blip textures suffer from this and I think it's largely due to them being in .tga format in the first place. Blizzard's default blips are in .blp format and don't have the white border around them.

    DisableMinimapTarget has become obsolete as of Patch 4.3. Blizzard added options to the tracking menu that will disable target and focus blips on the Minimap.

    Uninstall DisableMinimapTarget and the errors will go away.
