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.

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.

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:

Location text is colored by zone faction/reaction. Friendly/Hostile/Contested territory. This is the same as in the default UI (since it's the same text string, just moved.) There is no way to color it differently in the addon.

I really like this addon, but I really really really dislike the icon for the "!" quest givers... 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

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)

There's a really annoying big question mark on the upper right side of the map. Is there a way to make that go away?

That's a default UI feature - you've been invited to an event on the calendar.

I've already checked that. It won't go away even if I delete all the events from the calendar.

That's weird - it goes away for me. Is it still there if you reload the UI? If so, is it still there when you disable PocketPlot? all addons?

It doesn't go away if I reloadui. It's also not there on the default minimap and simple minimap which I previously used.
Funny thing I just noticed is that its not there when I play my alt, just my main for some reason.

/facepalm

it's your calendar alert showing that you have unanswered calendar invites like a 10 man naxx that your guild leader has put up for example..



you definately have an event pending. if your having problems try deleting your Cache folder and let the server recreate you a fresh one.

Seerah,
I just updated to 2.5.1. I prefer the Nandini blips from Blipstick, so I've always edited the PocketPlot lua to point to those. I notice with 2.5.1 that the blips are now very small, maybe half the size of what I'm used to.
I tried swapping to your blips included in the folder, and these also seem pretty small compared to the screenshots you have. Any idea what might have caused this?
