Rectangle Minimap

[Qupe]

I'm trying to recreate Dawn's rectangle minimap.

Before straight up copy/pasting his code, I hack'n'slashed it by setting the size. This worked but ended up stretching the map's textures.

ex:


Went ahead and copy/pasted code in and got this:



code:

-----------
-- style --
-----------
local _, class = UnitClass('player')
local color = CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS and CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS[class] or RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class]            
 
Minimap:SetSize(172*scale, 172*scale)
Minimap:SetMaskTexture(mediaFolder.."rectangle")
Minimap:SetHitRectInsets(0, 0, 24*scale, 24*scale)
Minimap:SetFrameLevel(4)
Minimap:ClearAllPoints()
Minimap:SetPoint(position, UIParent, position_x, position_y)
Minimap:SetScale(scale)
 
--LFDSearchStatus:SetClampedToScreen(true)
 
BorderFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, Minimap)
BorderFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", Minimap, "TOPLEFT", -1, -(21*scale))
BorderFrame:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", Minimap, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 1, (21*scale))  
BorderFrame:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
if not classColoredBorder then
    BorderFrame:SetBackdropBorderColor(unpack(brdcolor))
else
    BorderFrame:SetBackdropBorderColor(color.r, color.g, color.b)
end 
BorderFrame:SetBackdropColor(unpack(backdropcolor))
BorderFrame:SetFrameLevel(6)

I understand the general gist of how the mask is covering the bits of the map, making it a "rectangle" without stretching the actual map texture.

What I don't understand is why a) it's green and b) the top/bottom bits of the map aren't being masked.

This is the addon I'm trying to recreate:
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...0-dRecMap.html

I don't think I missed any code or stuff that is actually masking the map (I didn't include the config code at the top of the addon that sets stuff like bg textures, scale, etc...).

I attached the entirety of the code; the lua file is basically Dawn's map with stuff commented out that errors. I don't intend to use anything from that code besides what styles the map, so just disregard any of the out of date stuff.

Basically, is it still possible to do this? If it is, has something changed which makes the styling in this addon non-functional?

Thanks!

As far as i know, aside from the code, green always means the texture didnt load correctly. Be aware that the actual texture's size needs to be power of 2, like 32x64 or 128x256 for example.

Rectangle minimap would be exactly what I need in my UI.
I'll try to get it running at home, too. Maybe I can help.

If green means the texture didn't load then something may have changed since this addon worked? I haven't modified the texture at all. By default it's 256x256 and it's Dawn's original texture for an addon that worked at some point, so I'm assuming the issue isn't with the texture (+? I really don't have any idea, just going on what I see).

You stylish mofo, you! (also, yes please!).

I can't upload a .tga file? If I could I'd drop the texture file in here for people to look at. If there's something else I can upload it as/a trusted location, please let me know. If not, it's available in the addon link in the OP.

You could put it on Dropbox or so? That's where I put all my stuff about four years now.

Minimap:SetMaskTexture(mediaFolder.."rectangle")

mediaFolder is set correctly ?
