Minimap moved/missing

The issue I'm having is that the Carbonite minimap (the square one that sits near the bottom-left of the screen by default) will not appear no matter what I do. "Move minimap to Carbonite minimap" is NOT checked. In the past (previous releases of the addon), pushing M once toggled the Carbonite minimap, pushing it again hid the Carbonite minimap and displayed the main Carbonite map (if the "hide minimap when main map displayed" option is checked.) This was perfect. Now, with the latest release, this no longer happens. Pushing M just displays the main Carbonite map. I can't get the Carbonite minimap to appear no matter what I do, no matter which options are checked or unchecked. Meanwhile, the WoW minimap displays and works as always. I have tried this with Cartographer enabled and disabled, and it makes no difference- I get the same "no Carbonite minimap" behavior. I am not running any other addons which seem that they would interfere with Carbonite- I'm running only Karthus' Hunter Timers, Omen, Deadly Boss Mods and Recount. Does anyone have any specific hints or troubleshooting suggestions on this? I purchased the Carbonite addon package (not just Carbonite Quest, the whole package) several months ago and have been pleased with it until this problem arose. Thanks

I to have a similar effect going on my interface. I hit the letter "M" on my keyboard and niether the map comes up, i mean by map the area map or the little map.
I right clicked the carbonite button and tried hiting the show map part, and guess what NOTHING!.
so whats the deal?

FYI i have a mac.

I have my Carbonite minimap - love it. Whenever I press the M key to see the world map, the minimap goes away and I have to press the minimap button @ top right to get it back,
This is a total pain when farming herbs etc. Why does it go away and how do I get it to stay there until I tell it to go

If you would like to restore your original minimap functionality please follow these steps: Right-click on the Carbonite (C) button and select ‘Options’ Select ‘Map Minimap’ Uncheck ‘Move Minimap into Carbonite map’ Update: Version 3.0+ will ask you if you want to move the minimap into the Carbonite map.

There is only one Carbonite map. When you press the M key, the map window just gets bigger. Pressing M again moves and sizes it back to how it was. The game minimap, if set to be inside the Carb map, will still be in the Carb map regardless of what size it is.

Which map? The Carbonite map or the game minimap? The instructions you quoted tell you how to separate the game minimap out of the Carb map. If the Carb map is hidden, then press the M key.

THanks Fataal, I appreciate your input. What I want is my mini map to sit on screen, I press "M" to seee the larger size, then pressing "M" again, returns to the mini map.
How do I do this? Is it in the settings somewhere. At the moment, pressing "M" a second time makes the whole map go away but I have to click the icon on top right of my screen to get the mini map back. This is a pain, an extra action, usually at times when I don't want them.

That is the default, so it must be disabled. Right click a non icon area of map, select Options and make sure "Hide maximized map when ESC or map toggle (M) key pressed" is not checked.

It could also be a Carbonite key binding. Make sure "Toggle None or Max Map" keybinding is not set to the M key.

Am having problems with the minimap and I have used all the options in minimap

This is what am dealing with



I end up with two minimaps so lets try checking the show the minimap name plate options.....



Now we don't have a calendar and that's what I want to have without the second minimap that show in front of the original let me show you what I'm talking about



This is what happens if we do there's a map on the map I believe this is the original map that's on top but the buttons are free as you can see what I was trying to do this was done with no addons and it still happen
Please note that the docked options did change the position of the first minimap the circle one

@Gearspark24: If I understand you correctly you want to hide the original WoW minimap while still seeing your minimap buttons. You can download an addon called Minimap Button Frame which will capture your minimap buttons. Then go into Carbonite menu and highlight Map Minimap. Uncheck the box for Show Standard Minimap Nameplate. Now the minimap is hidden and your minimap buttons are visible.

@carboniteaddon: I have a similar problem to the one in this thread. First of all the setting Hide maximized map when M or ESC is pressed doesn't make sense. A user would expect the maximized map to be hidden when the M or ESC key is pressed. What actually happens though is that the small map is also hidden when this is checked and M or ESC is pressed. Anyway after reading this thread I unchecked it and now I can toggle between the maximized carbonite map and the small carbonite map with a key binding. However if I don't have access to my keyboard for one reason or another I can right click the carbonite minimap icon and select Show Map. This shows the maximized version of the map. When I want to go back to the small map and resume I have no choice but to click the X in the upper right hand corner of the maximized map. The result is that it hides the maximized map but also the small map is gone. It would be nice if there were a box next to the X in the upper right corner that would be a toggle just like in windows operating systems to maximize or restore. Thank you for your time.

The map is a window. By default the window starts out open, but minimized. By default when you click on M the map expands to full size. The key is a toggle; hit it again, and the window shrinks.

The minimap (there is only one) is a different thing. By default, iirc, all Carbonite does is take the buttons that Blizzard (and addon authors) normally put around the minimap and put them in a single long vertical window (which can be seen in one of the screenshots above).

You can dock the minimap inside the carbonite map, which means you'll not have two windows for mapping open at the same time.

You can, I believe, turn off the "minimap button list" function in carb, in which case if the minimap is not docked, the buttons will again display around it. I'm not sure what happens if the minimap is docked, to be honest.

The buttons will, in that case, display around the merged minimap, inside the Carbonite map.

Odd occurrence with one toon of 13 toons:

One toon's map will not show details of area when doing a mouse-over. It only shows detail of where the toon is and has been for previous 3 areas.

Steps taken to correct:
1. Options > Reset > all reset options exhausted (with reload ui done on each option)
2. Options > Reset > tried to import settings from toon that doesn't have issue > reload ui
3. Renamed Carbonite.lua > Carbonite.lua.ba2
4. Deleted WoW\Cache folder


Carbonite version: 4.034
Wow patch ver: 4.0.3a

Thanks in advance,

Close the Blizzard zone map (SHIFT + M).

That's the gravy.

The zone map was hidden behind Recount.

Thanks for the assistance.
