I really want to remove the second minimap and i really dont know how to do it. it is getting annoying and i really dont need it... Is there a way to turn it off totally? Because it is getting in the way of some of my other mods and chat windows. Please let me know how to change this option.

Can you post a screens shot ? there shouldn't be a second minimap, just one in the middle of the hud, or if you have the plugin it is moved to the right info panel.

If you are talking about the battlefield minimap that is in the information panel, then just click on the red button at the bottom left corner of that map that says "Map" in order to switch to a different panel.

If you are talking about something else, you'll need to post a screen shot. You can just reply to this post and scroll down the message editing page, you'll see a button that says "Manage Attachments" -- click that and you can upload your screen shot with your reply.

What I understand is he wants to remove the infopanel map altogether. If so I concur. I'm sure it makes sense to Scot why it's there, but I personally would only like to switch between carbonite, stats, zygor, and hitsmode (so remove the default combat infopanel) AND be able to move forward and backward between infopanels. Eg if the aforementioned addons were 1 2 3 4 then I'd like the ability to move from 3 to 2 instead of cycling between 4->1->2.


Hope I didn't confuse anyone. And if thisll be fixedor planned for nUI 6.0 then I'll wait. If not can I get some instruction on how to do what I've mentioned?

Thanks in advance for you time

Edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > InfoPanels > nUI_InfoPanel_BattlefieldMinimap.lua ] and set "enabled = true" to "enabled = false" in either location.

I've gotten the combat log to disappear, YAY now just HitsMode!. However comma I can't get the battlefieldminimap to disappear. just to reiterate, I've done the aforementioned lua editing and set nUI_InfoPanel_BattlefieldMinimap.lua enabled (line 102) to false. which was a no go; I then set the enabled (line 110) to false and still a no go.

My 'coding' experience was html in the mid 90s, until I had to type out tables and fill them. At any rate it was very helpful to be able to shut of combat.

Hitsmode should be an easy one to remove as it is an external plugin so you should be able to disable that plugin and the panel for it should disappear.

Hmm, as to the battlefieldminimap try changing the plugin.active = true to false on line 162. I use that setting to programmatically disable my plugins. Although if Scott suggested the enable flag it is making me wonder if the active flag is the wrong value to change, despite it working.

Once you set it to false, you need to do "shift-M" to close the battlefield map... that's standard WoW stuff.

As for HitsMode... if you don't want it, don't install it. Problem solved... the same for any info panel you don't wnat... just don't install it. The *only* info panels nUI is packaged with are single pages for recount, omen, skada, battlefield minimap and combat log.

With regard to cycling the maps, left-clicking info-panel button cycles the info panels forward, right clicking cycles them backwards.


I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. What's the point of removing all these panels?

im keeping hitsmode, i didnt pay attention my "engrish grammer". My goal is to eliminate "combat" and "map" from infopanel. for the cycling, yes, left click and right click cycles the infopanel one way or the other. What I'm trying to achieve is being able to cycle with KEYBINDING. I rarely use my mouse other than to turn fast in a PVP fight. Otherwise my tab+(modifier) binding target what I need as i need.

Well... I'm afraid there is no key binding available for going backwards through the info panels.

I am surprised that you're heavy into PvP but don't want to use the battlefield minimap... that's the whole point of that tool. It tells you where everyone in the battlefield is, who is in combat where, etc... long before anyone yells in chat. But, again, to each their own... that's why nUI was designed to be customizable.

I'll key the thought of keybinds in mind when I get to the info panel code in nUI6 and see if I can't come up with a way to keybind the backward movement.

world PVP is more fun = gankage. Everyone thinks that there's safe at o'dark thirty in the morning. Carbonite tells me just what I need to know about opposing faction players, where; though if you pay attention to your combat log you can notice an opposing faction nearby, but they need to be doing something.

Re: Battlefields well I'm just more of a solo player. If I die, its my fault, not the priest who didn't heal me, or the warrior who didn't pull aggro, etc. 'Sides, at o'dark thirty I only have about 1.5 hrs before I /exit and head off to work.

I'll key the thought of keybinds in mind when I get to the info panel code in nUI6 and see if I can't come up with a way to keybind the backward movement.
YAY!

FWIW - the main advantage of nUI's battlefield minimap showing heals and damage is not so much knowing who is or isn't healing or who is or isn't pulling agro... it's about knowing where the "action" is without having to rely in people calling it out (which in most battlegrounds is a common problem)

In any event... again... nUI is intended to be customized. I just like to get my head around what people are thinking and why as that is what helps me improve the UI.

The reason why I don't use the bg map (I never used it even before I got nUI) is mainly due to using the Carbonite map. While that's located in the upper left corner of my screen, I can still see Skada down on the bottom right corner of my screen.

to clarify I don't BG, and that was the purpose of 'deactivating' battlefield infopanel.

Button still there?

Hi there... I was able to successfully remove the BG map, with .lua change and shift+m. The button for it is still there though, but it doesn't say map anymore. So, when I scroll through the info panels, there is a blank panel where the map used to be. Is there any way to get rid of that choice all together? Thanks in advance!

Ken!

Edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > InfoPanels > nUI_InfoPanel_BattlefieldMinimap.lua ] and set enabled = false in both locations it shows up at the top of the file.
