I know you're not a PvP guy and probably don't know much about the UI involving PvP. But if you do get around to it, could you look at adding some more UI movers? For example the score in Arathi Basin is centered to the top, but I don't like it there and even with other mods I can't seem to get it to move.

Hey Beg, I'll take it you're bored or updating addons. As for donations, this addon ain't all that great.

I have added /slash commands to change settings and made settings persistent. I'm reluctant to make a GUI based option system of most sorts until I feel I understand that code better.

As for the PVP or WorldState frame... yeah, that's one of the original movers if I'm not mistaken. Just need to add support for the boss frames and arena frames. You need to get back to Panda-land I think.

First is maybe a slide bar or another way to scale the minimap in-game. If this has already been implemented, disregard it, please. I know you're not a PvP guy and probably don't know much about the UI involving PvP. But if you do get around to it, could you look at adding some more UI movers? For example the score in Arathi Basin is centered to the top, but I don't like it there and even with other mods I can't seem to get it to move. More examples are: The score in Warsong Gulch The base capture meter (in many battlegrounds, but Eye of the Storm comes to mind) PvP frames (though this may involve a whole other addon) in Arenas The flag carrier and score in Eye of the Storm I could think of a few more given the time, but I just got home from "work" if it can so be called. I had an energy drink before and I'm feeling the crash. Getting sleepy and this post took somewhere around 15 minutes to type because I was getting distracted by sounds and I think I dozed off once. So yeah. Just a few ideas. PvP-specific movers. In-game scale option.

I haven't played WoW in a while with so many other things going on in my life right now, but I would like to go out on a limb for him and say that he is very dedicated to his work and he tries hard to make sure that everything is simple, yet sophisticated. I appreciate your nice comments, feedback, and support. I have yet to try his addon, but I'm sure when I (inevitably) pick up on WoW again I will use this minimap addon. As a matter of fact I have a couple copies of his first couple of attempts at making the addon, but I have not found the time (as stated before) to update and use the current one. From what I have used in his older, let's say, beta testing versions I have been completely satisfied. Problems did arise when WoW received updates and what-not, but that's to be expected and I'd like to state that he usually got the addon working again rather quickly. I'm not very active in these forums. As a matter of fact this might be my first post. I'm a bit of a lurker, but I couldn't resist posting here. I'm not taking any credit here. None. Zero. Ziltch. Cero. Null. But I must admit jeruku has asked me a few times if I had any ideas for his addon. Normally, I didn't, as it seemed rather complete. But from time to time I'd pitch in a thought and if he felt up to the task would try to make it work. As I said, I take no credit for anything in this addon, which is why I won't reveal any details on our discussions. All I can say to you jeruku is, "Keep up the good work, buddy." P.S. Put a dang endorsement button on your addon. I can see people support you and wouldn't mind sending a buck or 2 your way. Last edited by Begnis : 11-30-12 at 06:48 AM.

Edit: Sorry, the resulting problem should be fully resolved. Once permitted the update will be available and things should work as intended once more. __________________ A wise man once said, "DUH, it's a monkey."...... When of course it was obviously a chimp.

In jMm.lua inside <WoW Directory>/Interface/AddOns/JMinimap/jMm.lua. 1) Go to "function stash:MinimapUpdate(cat)" at line 195. 2) Inside "elseif cat == 'update' then" at line 216 3) Change: Code: Minimap:SetParent(parent) 4) To: Code: Minimap:SetParent(UIParent) __________________ A wise man once said, "DUH, it's a monkey."......

jeruku A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 17 File comments: 11 Uploads: 1	Updated Nevermind my silly post from before. Right after posting I started to realize there was a missing stack being loaded before some of my code. So the end result was me discovering that my stupidity leads me no where. (Which happens very often.) Issues solved, possible issues prevented, and garbage like that... but no options yet, sorry.

jeruku A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 17 File comments: 11 Uploads: 1	Update Troubles It seems as though not everyone makes an attempt at making it easy to fetch their Minimap Icons. In some cases they forgo anchoring and use a radial point which is then anchored by point alone. So the fix is taking time to fully work out, but I'll be throwing in some simple features for the buttons alongside it all. Also, QuestPointer or any other addon that uses <unnamed> frame Icons will not cause an error. This has not been my only project and I used up a bit of my time writing a tutorial skeletal addon. There were a large amount of notes I found I was wasting time on looking up so I wrote them down in a way that makes sense, as comments in an addon. In short it acts as both a template for my work, my notations, and debugging. __________________ A wise man once said, "DUH, it's a monkey."...... When of course it was obviously a chimp.

Anyway, if you'd prefer the use of the settings in lua let me know. I can make them easier to access at the top of the file, otherwise there's the /jmm commands.

Enjoy. ^_^

Thanks for making the changes! It's working perfectly now

Somehow I knew that code would come back to bite me in the butt. Oh well, pressing forward as soon as I figure out why the movers aren't working as planned with the changes. __________________ A wise man once said, "DUH, it's a monkey."......

Aerilyn A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 13 Uploads: 0	Great minimap addon. I like it a lot and I gave it a test drive last night. I ran into one issue around minimap positioning. I'm a stickler about editing the LUA file to get it where I want but it wasn't working for me. I like having my minimap centered at the bottom of my screen so, I've edited the code but it doesn't do what I want. I'm not at my gaming rig, so I'll try to be as specific as possible: I changed line 12 from ['position'] = 'TOPRIGHT', to ['position'] = 'BOTTOM', I changed line 64 from Minimap:SetPoint(JMmOptions['map']['position'], UIParent, -25, -25) to Minimap:SetPoint(JMmOptions['map']['position'], UIParent, 0, 3) Normally, this should put the minimap at the bottom center of my screen but it doesn't. Instead, it puts the minimap at the bottom of my screen but to the right as if the X offset was at 150 or something. I tried entering a negative number to move it to the left by that many pixels. Instead, what I've found is when I enter a negative number, it mirrors the location on the left side. I've done additional testing by setting ['position'] = 'BOTTOM', to ['position'] = 'CENTER', and that puts the minimap centered on my screen but off to the right. It's as if the X axis is not at center but between CENTER and RIGHT. Hope this makes sense.
