Chinchilla Minimap

Version: v2.13.0

by: ckknight, Ravendwyr

Chinchilla Minimap alters the Blizzard Minimap in a way to provide much nicer features and other niceties.

Appearance

Allows changing of blip size (useful since 3.1), border style, shape of the map (doesn't have to be circular, or even square, lots of options are available), size, etc.

Auto zoom

Zoom out the map automatically after 20 seconds (or so).

Compass

A more flexible north-east-south-west indicator.

Coordinates

Show your location coordinates

Expander

Make the minimap very big temporarily (good for gathering or finding a tough-to-spot enemy).

Location

Show the name of your location more flexibly.

Move buttons

Move the buttons around the minimap to wherever you want (even off the minimap entirely).

Ping

Show which team-mate pinged the minimap

Position

Position the minimap and frames around it.

Range circle

Show on the minimap where your range extends to

Show / Hide

Show or hide various frames related to the minimap

Tracking dots

Change the dots on the map to a different set of images. Very handy, especially if you suffer from colorblindness.

Wheel zoom

Mousewheel to zoom the minimap

Love you.

Chinchilla is by far the best minimap addon. Unfortunately it seems like Miss Ravendwyr abandoned the project and there is no official takeover up2now:

If not, or someoone knows how to, the tracking dots have been mangled again with patch 9.2 Or does anyone know of another map addon that makes nodes bigger / blip ?

Daeveren A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 32 Uploads: 0	Patch 9.1.5 and the addon is kind of broken - in the way that it does not remember the map shape. I have it set as square, but after each login, it defaults to circle. Note that the 1 pixel black border remains square. Anyone know a solution for this?

RLD A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 53 Uploads: 1	lock shape How can I lock the shape of the mini map. I like round. I move it to next to my char. when gathering things. but it will often switch to a different shape when I go to move it back to its default position. irritating to have to go into config to change it back continuously.

nick78 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	I use this AddOn for my clean UI and I like it a lot. But I miss two functions there: First I would like to adjust the auto zoom to a specific distance. Second I would like to toggle the calendar by rightclicking the minimap. If you would add these features to Chinchilla or if someone would explain to me how I could do it myself that would make me happy. I know the basics of LUA and Notepad++, so the only thing I need to know is what code I have to put in which place of which file.

Ravendwyr A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 139 File comments: 156 Uploads: 13	v2.8 is a "Niantic Labs" update where instead of fixing a broken feature I have disabled it temporarily for now. The good news: - No more errors! (hopefully) - No more stretched blip textures! - No longer out of date! The bad news: - Custom blip sets are disabled as I have not had time to fix the artwork files. They will be worked on when I do get time however and the feature will return when the "atlases" are up to date. At least it's better than nothing, right? Right?? __________________ Twitter \| GitHub

However, with the lastest patch (7/17/16), the mobs show up as a green exclamation and they are really oversized. I thought there was a way to resize the dots, etc. but I can't seem to find it. I have a screenshot but I'm not sure how to post it here.
