MiniBlobs

Version: 5.4.1.5

by: jeruku [More]

_MiniBlobs replaces the quest POI and archaeology dig site map blobs on your minimap. It supports all standard minimap shapes, and works out of the box.

* Numbered quest markers not included.

Details

All quests in your quest log show their objective highlights. _MiniBlobs ignores quest watch settings.
This mod only adds blobs to the minimap - no numbered indicators from the world map.
Doesn't work with the “Rotate Minimap” option.

Options

You can access _MiniBlobs' options from your Interface Options menu. From there, the “Quality” slider controls how smooth the edges of blobs are drawn, and how jagged the edges of the minimap appear. The lowest setting should look reasonable without dropping your framerate. Higher settings, on the other hand, may cause dramatic performance drops for large, rounded minimaps.

Each type of blob can be configured separately. Both have configurable transparency, a dropdown to choose their general look (limited to default quest blue or dig site red), and a checkbox to disable that blob type entirely.

Quest blobs have an extra “Quest Filter” option to customize which ones you want to see. You can pick from either showing all quests, only quests tracked by Blizzard's Objectives list, or only your selected quest. This last setting matches how the World Frame shows quest blobs; You can change your selection by clicking the numbered circles in your Objectives list or on your World Map.

5.4.1.5:
- Fixed an issue where some addons would replace Minimap:GetChildren() but it never changed the return of Minimap:GetNumChildren()
- Should now scan the Minimap for any new, only after being added, objects that need to be shown above the Blobs.
5.4.1.3:
- Found some more minor issues with the fading.
- Hopefully repaired the Change Log.
5.4.1.2:
- Replaced erroneous code. Used wrong hooks for frame hiding, which kept the blobs from hiding with Minimap.
5.4.1.1:
- TOC Updated to 50400.
- Version updated to reflect previous version conventions.
- An overlay has been added so Minimap Icons appear above the blobs.
- If Minimap is faded or scaled MiniBlobs overlay will scale with those settings. Do note that Blips, player arrow and resources, will not fade unless Minimap is hidden.
4.2.0.3:
- Now replaces the default Minimap blobs
- Does not hide in combat
4.2.0.2:
- Added a “Quest Filter” dropdown menu to the options screen with new settings for watched quests only and selected quest only.
- Updated koKR localization, and added zhTW localization by BNSSNB.
4.2.0.1: Added frFR localization by Arcueild and koKR localization by Sayclub.
4.1.0.2:
- The default minimap border now covers jagged blob edges.
- _MiniBlobs is incompatible with Carbonite, and won't show any blobs with the latter enabled.
- Fixed “action blocked” messages when toggling blob types in combat.
4.1.0.1: Initial release.

I'll add a checkbox for this in version 4.2.0.2. Thanks for the suggestion!

Do you have Lua Errors enabled in your default UI options? If _MiniBlobs displays an error, it could help pinpoint the problem. Also, what other addons are you using on the broken account?

Oh, _MiniBlobs can't rotate blobs, so it hides itself if you have the "Rotate Minimap" option enabled in the default UI.

Remember to uninstall _MiniBlobs once the patch arrives! ____ Edit: It's here! You can enable the default UI's minimap blobs with your minimap tracking menu, like so: Last edited by Saiket : 11-29-11 at 07:15 PM.

I will have to second that, though due to a very specific reason.
The blizzard version has a hashed shading around the regions where it extends beyond the minimap visible region.
Unfortunatly that shading is based on the default circular shape of the minimap and does not adjust for any other shape.
So it looks rather ugly, and is I feel getting in the way of the feature on my square minimap.
Therefore I will continue to use your addon in the meantime at least.

I don't know if any addons do this already, but you can hide that hashed shading with this macro command:

Code:

/run Minimap:SetArchBlobRingScalar( 0 ); Minimap:SetQuestBlobRingScalar( 0 ); -- Reduces width of hash border to 0

No, no they are not.

I am looking at a few possibilities of what may be causing it to flash, all of which would be addon related. Alternatively I will not rule out error on my part, it could very well be a simple problem with the code itself.

Are you using any minimap addon(s) and if so which one(s)?
Are you using any watch/quest frame addon(s) and if so which one(s)?
