PocketPlot 3.0!

PocketPlot has gone through a much needed, and long-awaited, rewrite! See the change log tab for a list of all changes in 3.0, including why I removed custom blip textures.

Features:

different shapes for your minimap (now 25!)
thin, black border (customizable color/alpha/thickness)
border and clock/coords have options to be colored by class
optional support for !ClassColors
moved and streamlined mail/bg/voice/LFG icons
moved zone text
option to hide zone text
hide tracking button (use shift-right-click on minimap to open menu)
SharedMedia support for fonts
zoom with mousewheel
hides map button, zoom in/out buttons, etc.
moved and streamlined clock
option to disable the clock
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), can show below or above minimap **now with offsets
ability to move other frames related to the minimap (durability, vehicle seat indicator, instance difficulty/guild flag)
can also move WorldStateAlwaysUpFrame (top-center of screen status display)
right-click the minimap to toggle showing the in-game calendar (default flashing ? still shows for new calendar invites)
can change the alpha/transparency of the minimap
option to hide the minimap in combat and/or pet battles
option to display cursor coordinates on the world map
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.

strawberrie A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 17 Uploads: 0	Blips hi, I was wondering if there is any way to change the blips for the minimap in the lua file. I noticed you have 3 files ending in .blp in the media folder and I tried changing it to a different one in the lua file, load up wow and it just didn't work. I get white squares. thanks in advance.

thanks in advance.

From the main description (though I'm assuming this is what you tried):

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)

.blp is Blizzard's proprietary file extension for textures - it doesn't stand for blip.

What exactly did you try to do? Changing from PPblips2.blp to PPblips.blp (the original style) should work fine as long as you were completely exited out of the game.

Ah, thanks. Sorry, I should have known that.

Lacindas An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 33 File comments: 31 Uploads: 0	was a big fan of the previous version but this one is very nice indeed question though, i am currently using tidyminimap for my map buttons, i was thinking of switching to detached minibuttons, but when i activated that in game, a bunch of the items from the minimap were grabbed out and repositioned, im guessing thats part of dmb taking over the coords/locs for your minimap items? not sure if its a "bug" or intended behavior for dmb or if its an interaction between the two

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	Sometimes those minimap-cleaner-upper mods just grab everything that's parented to the minimap. Did the frame that creates the border disappear, too? I'd talk to that addon's author. Sometimes those addons will have a blacklist. __________________ "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 [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Lacindas An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 33 File comments: 31 Uploads: 0	cheers thanks thats kinda what i figured ive stuck with tidyminimap as a result, it only touches known map buttons just covers up some of the stuff due to where its anchored, i spose i should just edit the lua and move the anchor lol thanks again!

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	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 [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	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 [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Last edited by Seerah : 02-13-09 at 11:24 PM.
