PocketPlot 2.0!

PocketPlot was originally written as a very lightweight minimap addon with option available only through the lua file. However, I felt like doing more with it and I took my hubby's feature requests and implemented them. Thus, PocketPlot 2.0 was born, with an in-game config screen and other new additions.

Features:

square or circle minimap
thin, black border (customizable color/alpha)
border and clock/coords have options to be colored by class (optional support for !ClassColors)
moved and streamlined tracking/mail/bg/voice/LFG icons
moved zone text
option to hide zone text
SharedMedia support for fonts
scroll with mousewheel
hides map button, zoom in/out, etc.
moved and streamlined clock (enable/disable the clock from the display section of Interface Options)
coordinates display (click coords to toggle world map, shift-click to send coords to chat)
"smart" coords/clock display (change positions depending on what's shown and hide in instances), can show below or above minimap
ability to move other frames related to the minimap (durability, vehicle seat indicator - the quest tracker is movable via the default UI)
right-click the minimap to toggle showing the in-game calendar (default flashing ? still shows for new calendar invites)
custom minimap blip textures made by yours truly (two styles are included with PocketPlot. If you wish to change the blip texture or like the default blips better, you merely need to change the file path in the lua - the path to the default blips is there for you)
can change the alpha/transparency of the minimap
option to hide the minimap in combat
each character has a choice of using either a global or character specific profile

FAQ:

Is there a slash command?
/pocketplot and /pp

How do I move the minimap or other frames?
In the PocketPlot config window, enable the mover for the frame you wish to reposition in the movers menu. Drag it wherever you wish. When finished, select "None" from the movers menu to get rid of the blue anchor. You can use the "Nudge" buttons to move a frame by one pixel at a time in any direction.

Where can I find more fonts?
For further font choices, I suggest the SharedMedia addon. Have a font you want to use that's not in there? Read the "Instructions for MyMedia.txt" file in the SharedMedia folder.

How can I move the tower capture bars?
I have opted to not support moving those, as it's a PITA to do so.

I suggest the mods Capping or SSPVP3 for all of your pvp needs (including moving the capture bars and score frame).

How can I give feedback?
Feel free to leave your comments/questions here, but all bug reports and feature requests need to go to my portal if you want me to remember to do them.

Bug Reports / Feature Requests

Can I use your code/blips?
All use of my code and custom blips separate from PocketPlot must be for your own personal use and they may not be redistributed separate from the addon. You may use snippets of my code in addons you intend to distribute only after receiving permission, and credit must be given.

Can I redistribute your addons?
My addons may only be redistributed in UI compilations, and any mention of the addon must point to its download page or my portal, both on wowinterface.

Do you accept cookies?
I love cookies! Unfortunately, they may turn to crumbs in the mail. Instead, you may donate to my cookie fund via PayPal.

Change Log - PocketPlot

v.2.9.1
- right-clicking the minimap to open the Calendar frame will no longer Ping the map
- right-clicking for calendar access now works as a toggle (the calendar will close if already open)

v.2.1.2
- MiniMapCluster:EnableMouse(false) --> this is so that you can still click through to the world frame in that corner if you've moved the minimap

v.1.4
- fixed: zone text so it scales with the minimap
- changed: zone text to OUTLINE (instead of MONOCHROME) so it's a little more readable...

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 6210 File comments: 315 Uploads: 18	Unless you want to edit the texture yourself, it's all or nothing. You'll need blp2png.exe (you can get it from this site), open up the image for editing in photoshop or another program, edit the !, save it, and convert it back into a blp file. (TGA should work for minimap blips, too, if you prefer to use that format over blp) __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

Is there anyway for me to change just that one icon? I prefer the fatter/more standard "!" icon. I love all the other new icons - just not that ! one. Thanks, vpr

Thanks for the quick response, well if there is no way to change it i will live with it. Thanks again.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be optional at the moment.

If you don't have ClassColors installed you get this error and the addon fails to load:

astalavista A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 52 Uploads: 0	Since I upgraded to the latest release of PocketPlot, it doesn't work in-game, even though definitely enabled. /pp doesn't bring up anything either. I get the default Blizz map.

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 6210 File comments: 315 Uploads: 18	I've added optional support for the new !ClassColors addon in this version. Any changes in the !ClassColors config require you to reload your UI in order for them to take place in PocketPlot. Please note that there is a little tiny bug in version 2.0.9.0-beta-2 of !ClassColors, where Phanx forgot a } at line 264. If you download that version and get the error, then change: Code: setmetatable(CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS, { __index = function(t, k) if k == "IterateClasses" then return IterateClasses end if k == "RegisterCallback" then return RegisterCallback end if k == "UnregisterCallback" then return UnregisterCallback end end) to Code: setmetatable(CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS, { __index = function(t, k) if k == "IterateClasses" then return IterateClasses end if k == "RegisterCallback" then return RegisterCallback end if k == "UnregisterCallback" then return UnregisterCallback end end}) (note the } after the word "end") Though I'm certain this will be fixed in the next version. __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh Last edited by Seerah : 02-14-2009 at 12:24 AM.

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 6210 File comments: 315 Uploads: 18	Profile support is something that I may add to my addons in the future... For now, you can go into the PocketPlot.toc file and change Code: ## SavedVariables: PocketPlotDB to Code: ## SavedVariablesPerCharacter: PocketPlotDB Copying the sv file from the account-wide sv folder to the character specific sv folder should allow you to keep any changes you already made. __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
