Blipstick

Version: 4.0.0.9-Release

by: Tekkub [More]

Blipstick is a simple addon to change the minimap blip textures. I wrote it because I didn't like the big huge '!' and '?' Blizzard used, so I adjusted the sizes a bit. Since then I've added in blips from other addons and created a config panel so the user can select the set of blips they like.

I welcome any new blip textures, just open up a bug on GCode and attach the texture.

Why do so many authors, after spending the time and effort creating a nice mod, fail to take the extra two mins and snap a screenshot? I'm not trying to be factitious, nor am I complaining (though it'd be nice if you had at least one image). I just really want to know if there's a reason.. or not. __________________ - Without order nothing exists, without chaos nothing evolves

Same, for some reason it does this on console reload.

/edit: found out that Chinchilla has blip selection built-in. This was the bug

Twiilight A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 1	is it possible for you to add party/raid to this addon? since blizzard has fixed the issue with blips scaling (or, no longer scaling) with the UI size, they are back to be huge. so, the party/raid blips are enormous on my minimap, and is driving me insane. greatly appreciated!

Can you make it so that when a blip (ie a quest giver, mining, herb, tracking node, etc) appears on the minimap that there is a audible sound? of course it could be config to make the sound for which type blip user wanted as well as the sounds for each blip type. This would be awesome!!

Thank you and I look forward to your input!

The short answer is no because this information is not accessible to the API because the dots are rendered with the mini-map.

I add it myself to mine, I can send them to you if you need. Thanks! __________________ I guess my brain will never work right. At least I’m pretty.

Kuzah A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 38 Uploads: 0	Hey fellas I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I was wondering how I can make my own blips and I noticed someone uploaded a .tga file for you at that link. I have no idea how to create a .tga file. I do have an older verison of Photoshop, but haven't used it much at all. My level of expertise is low to medium as I just use Photoshop to spiffy up forum sigs with fluffed borders or to use alpha for see through effects. So in short, 1. How to make blips. 2. How to put them in a format to submit.
