MiniMap Directional Indicators

[Petrah]

Would you, could you, if you pretty please, consider adding the S, E, W letters to the minimap for those of us who are directionally challenged?

I can read any map and get myself from point A to point B, but man that S, E, and W thing just screws me all up. I can never remember where they're supposed to be lol.

~lol~

If your nose is pointing north... turn right to go east

~grin~

I'll get to it eventually... minimaps are changing a bit in the patches with some major changes in 3.1, so I've kind of been procrastinating.

I would not eat them in a box, I would not eat them with a fox. I will not eat them here or there, I will not eat them anywhere.

As a Teach myself Lua project, I made you this teeny tiny addon which creates the 3 missing letters around the minimap. It looks decent (if nothing else) on both the nUI minimap and the default one.

do what i did, past a little E and W on your monitor. Never make that mistake again..
