Blipstick

Version: 5.0.1.12-Release

by: Tekkub [More]

Blipstick is a simple addon to change the minimap blip textures. I wrote it because I didn't like the big huge '!' and '?' Blizzard used, so I adjusted the sizes a bit. Since then I've added in blips from other addons and created a config panel so the user can select the set of blips they like.

New blip textures are always welcome, send a pull request on GitHub.

Same, for some reason it does this on console reload.

/edit: found out that Chinchilla has blip selection built-in. This was the bug

Why do so many authors, after spending the time and effort creating a nice mod, fail to take the extra two mins and snap a screenshot? I'm not trying to be factitious, nor am I complaining (though it'd be nice if you had at least one image). I just really want to know if there's a reason.. or not. __________________ - Without order nothing exists, without chaos nothing evolves

Or, you could take the extra two mins to test the addon and see for yourself

Yeah if we'd have to do that with every addon we could reitre by the time we made a choice. I deeply appreciate authors' work but if an author (and in this case, Tekkub is a highly respected author) fails to provide a screenshot very few people will actually use the addon. Subsequently, one could ask what is the point of wiritng an addon when hardly anyone uses it?

I use it, that's the only reason I write my addons. I share them because that makes people think I'm nice, and 15k downloads says that some people are willing to try an addon that doesn't have screenshots.

jojo68 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	Update for WoD I love this addon I use the charm textures and WoW just does not feel that same without this.. Here is what I see is broken.. When I have Blip loaded.. I no longer see the passively tracked things on the mini map.. Example rares with the skulls do not show up.. Mining nodes in Garrison for non miners do not show up.. Things like Garrison Cache and other Passively tracked blips do not show up on Mini Map. So If you could update Blipstick to fix this I would greatly appreciate this. Thank you

Awe shucks.. Well if you want a current working blip replacement
check out:http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/dera...nimapblips#c15

Its minimalist. like not being able to select different sets.. but it has what it needs to see the new blips..

Right now we are Frankensteining the ObjectIcons.tga to get the ones we love from your sets overlayed onto these with the new 6.0 icons..
