Light'n'Stylish Minimap (Fan Update)

Version: 3

by: fostic_popcorn [More]

The original author is Fellrond and all credit goes to him.

I fell in love with this minimap addon and couldn't do without it for MoP. So I fixed it up (it broke because the BG queue functionality was deprecated) and decided to post it as its own addon, in case other people liked it too. However if I am stepping on anybody's toes I will be more than happy to take this down.

Features:
- Square
- Coordinates
- Access to Tracking
- Access to Calendar
- Access to Clock functions
- Scrollwheel zooms the minimap
- /rl command to reload ui (useful shortcut)
- Low memory usage

Customization:
Is done via fairly simple lua editing. See the 2nd screenshot in the preview.

Future Ideas:
- A better-looking "new mail" icon (if people request it)

I can try and tackle other requests people may have... But keep in mind I'm not actually a real programmer, I just go in and mess around with other people's code

v3_ _ _ _

I 99.9999% sure that I finally nailed that stupid bug with the Minimap hiding the coord/clock frames with this update.

v2.95_ _ _ _

Functionality: I accidentally broke hovering over blipsticks whilst messing with FrameLevel. Everything should be working once more with this update.

v2.9_ _ _ _

Cosmetic: Fixed FrameStrata shenanigans that was causing the minimap to overlap on top of the coord & clock frames.

v2.8_ _ _ _

Minor pet battle UI fix. Following how the normal minimap behaves, all of LnS's frames will now also be hidden during pet battles. This is a minor cosmetic fix, so if you don't pet battle or this doesn't bother you, it's not a necessary update. :)

v2.75_ _ _ _

Added scrollwheel zooming.

v2.5_ _ _ _

Clock functionality now takes advantage of the Blizzard's, so you can now clickthrough for more options (Set 24h/Set Local vs Realm Time)

Also tweaked the calendar font so that the text always centers horizontally.

The problem with the coords not showing up was that the minimap would be triggered by something (opening certain frames?) which would for some reason dynamically add frame levels to the minimap and thus cause the minimap to overlap and hide the coordinate bar. This only started happening last patch (5.2) for whatever reason...not sure what Blizzard changed. My solution for now is to set the strata of the coord & clock bar to be a strata above the minimap (Medium) and hope that it doesn't interfere with anyone's UI. Sorry if anyone was getting irritated by the bars randomly disappearing!

I'm a very very amateur coder... tears So I did the next best thing (I think?) However it will work. I've also updated LnS to support scrollwheel zooming as requested! If anything else is needed or if people want to further customize the addon to suit their needs, feel free to ask!

Thank you for suggesting it!! goldman, if would like that fuctionality (clicking on zone text to open map), I can get that code to you sometime tomorrow. Also I didn't actually know anyone wanted scroll fuctionality haha >.>. I'll take a look into that sometime this weekend!

Just as a matter of interest, wouldn't it be fairly easy to add a click option of ToggleFrame(WorldMapFrame) to say the location bar? That way you'd get the functionality to open the map and no ugly/extra icons on display. Just a thought.

Wow, would you believe I've been using this minimap addon for so long I'd completely forgotten you could actually click on the clock for extra options? (Partially because there's no slash command to bring up that window like /cal and /sw).

After checking it out I decided to change the clock functionality so it's no longer generated by the addon but instead uses Blizzard's. This way, you can clickthrough as you requested, and easily change it between 24 & 12 hrs / realm time and local time. Thanks for letting me know about that as I really do like this feature. It should be downloadable now from the latest version of this addon

Code:

   _G["MiniMapWorldMapButton"],

And then comment it (or simply delete it?) so it looks like this:

Code:

--   _G["MiniMapWorldMapButton"],

So that alone will get the functionality you want back in. However personally I think it looks quite ugly (because the texture was intended for the original minimap). If you would like to make it look nicer (and I think that's what this addon is all about), then you'll want to style it in the PLAYER_LOGIN function. So scroll up / Ctrl+F over to:

Code:

   QueueStatusMinimapButtonBorder:Hide()

Hit enter twice to start a new line. Paste the following code in:

Code:

   MiniMapWorldMapButton:SetNormalTexture(nil)
   MiniMapWorldMapButton:SetPushedTexture(nil)
   local MiniMapWorldMapButtonBackground = MiniMapWorldMapButton:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND")
   MiniMapWorldMapButtonBackground:SetTexture("Interface\\WorldMap\\UI-World-Icon")
   MiniMapWorldMapButtonBackground:SetPoint("CENTER", MiniMapWorldMapButton, "CENTER", 0, 0)
   MiniMapWorldMapButtonBackground:SetSize(20, 20)
   MiniMapWorldMapButton:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", UIParent, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 2)

Result:

Fully functional

However as you can see you might then run into an issue where the name of the zone will be too long and overlap onto the button. For that reason I put in that last line so you can move it to wherever you wish (the last 2 numbers will move for x and y). It's up to you where you want to move it (maybe to the left of the location bar?) But if you need help let me know again!

There's no option, but it's very easy to do in LUA. Where would you prefer to move it to?

Code:

   MiniMapInstanceDifficulty:ClearAllPoints()
   MiniMapInstanceDifficulty:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", Minimap, "ANCHORPOINT", x, y)

Depending on what corner you want to put it in, change "ANCHORPOINT" to "BOTTOMRIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", etc. And then put in the x & y values for how much you want to move it.

You can also customize further if you like, using options such as MiniMapInstanceDifficulty:SetScale(0.X)!

The best place to put it would be in the PLAYER_LOGIN function. So Ctrl+F for:

Code:

   QueueStatusMinimapButtonBorder:Hide()

Hit enter for a new line after, and paste the code
