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.

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.

- fix nil errors on new installs of 2.0 (I blame Shirik - "why do you have that there? It should work fine without it" he said... :P )

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

- fixed: updated blip textures. There was a new blip icon - who knew?
- added: path to default blip textures in the comments for that option, just in case you prefer those over mine

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...

You mean the tracking, mail, and bg icons? No.

Love the addon Seerah! Way better than pMinimap. I'd like to tilt your mind towards the new blips and the ENORMOUS black borders around them.. If you could slim down the border to a pixel or two it'd be awesome.. Until then, i'm going to comment the blips in the lua.

Just my two cents.

Ah... I forgot to join LFG to see if that worked. Though I've been in LFG from a group leader joining - I thought that showed it as well? I'll look into it - thanks, erica.

And thank you, tophero.

Is there a way to put the looking for group icon inside the minimap and strip the border... like you did with the other icons? Right now it sits lower left of the minimap and still has the ugly blizz border on it.

Edit: Just tried the same workaround that you used for the North tag (MiniMapMeetingStoneFrame:SetAlpha(0)) and it works fine. I'm guessing that's another Blizzard bug with frames?
