Sorry, another one... these mods put a buttons on the minimap, but BM doesn't seem to have any control over them. They are always there and only moves in a small circle like the original minimap.

Describe the problem

When using basicminimap, buff/debuff and boss frame windows need to be adjusted with a different addon (if you use a bigger minimap, it will be on top of these frames.

because of this issue - i either have to use additional addons like moveanything that spam errors (boss frames cant be moved properly without causing UI errors nonstop)
I would suggest if possible to allow anchoring the buff and boss frames to BasicMinimap map so that no matter what happens to your UI (such as changing UI scale % or by changing monitors which I do a lot) everything will always be in correct location. Having to readjust everything and deal with multiple addons for something like this is unfortunately why I had to delete the addon..

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. make a minimap big at top right corner, all frames will be hidden behind..

What version of the addon are you using? (Stating 'latest' is not useful)

v9.0.5

Do you have an error log of what happened?

no errors

Thank you so much

Would it be possible to add class colors to friendly units on the Classic client?

This addon is almost a complete replacement for Chinchilla in my particular setup on Classic. The only thing I can't do that I want to is hide the unread mail icon, which I have a libdatabroker addon (Aanye Mail) for.

Thanks for this sweet addon!

Any plans for creating a function to hide the Class Hall/whatever BFA brings to replace it-button and add in a keybind command? Basically exactly like the calendar and tracking works right now.

Thank you for creating and maintaining this addon btw.

I would really like to have the option to move and position my clock as on my screenshot. I needed to modify your LUA file and now I need to do it everytime I am going to update your addon :)

Sidenote: Thank you so much for doing this!

Curious if you have seen any addon conflicts as after the most recent update my clock text stopped appearing on addon load.

As a World of Warcraft player that values screen real estate, I would like to have a minimap that fades in or fades out depending on various basic criteria (see below). This will help me (and others like me) maintain a cohesive aesthetic with other faded-out UI elements while also improving my play experience by allowing more of the higher-value aspects of the game to be visible (e.g. the game world, entities on the ground when walking/running/riding, etc.)

Basic Criteria :

1. if minimap-fading is desired, it must be enabled via (at least) the "Interface > Addons > Other" configuration UI
2. if minimap-fading is disabled, the minimap is not faded out
3. If minimap-fading is enabled, the minimap is faded-out
4. if minimap-fading is enabled, the amount of fade is configurable (perhaps via a slider/percentage configuration)
5. if minimap-fading is enabled, the minimap itself fades in on mouseover (and fades out again while no mouseover)

Additional Considerations:

• Since the primary fade-in/fade-out trigger may be based on mouse hover, the minimap's frame strata may need to be made adjustable in a future iteration. BasicMinimap on its own seems to inherit/use the default frame strata equivalent to the Blizzard/native minimap frame, and therefore may be fine to leave as-is until a future iteration.
• Initial configuration options have the opportunity to be kept basic/simple, allowing for additional iterative development if further feedback is presented (e.g. it may be desirable, in a future iteration, to introduce a "fade-in/fade-out delay" configuration option - or to only fade out during combat, etc.)
• With the advent of OLED-based displays becoming available on the market (e.g. LG OLED48CX), and those displays being touted as ideal gaming "monitors", it is increasingly important that static elements on the screen are mitigated or kept to an absolute minimum (to avoid burn-in)

What version of the addon are you using?

Addon: 9.0.4
Game Client: 9.0.1

Any additional information?

I have always used BasicMinimap and I love it for it's simplicity and "get right to it"-ness. Having checked many other minimap-related addons, none seem to contain this functionality (if they do, they were very... robust... and thus this basic feature was left undiscovered)

I think it would be a nice addition to be able to open up the battleground and arena scoreboard with a customizable click similar to the calendar.

Can this be updated to work with Classic? There is another square map out there (DejaMinimap) but it has zero configuration ability other than size and location.

I'm having an issue where if I change the scale of the minimap all the minimap icons get super big too (such as quests, flightpath, battle pets, mining nodes).

Is there any way to change the size of the map without touching the size of these icons, or changing the size of them?

Thank you in advance :)

For some reason all settings reset when i relog or reload, minimap goes in the middle with the default settings.

Hey, is there a Way to move Mail & Calendar Icon pls? I cant put the map in the right corner, because i cant see the icons than. :(

Using Version v9.0.3

Thank you for the update!

Might it be possible to move it independently of the quest tracker window?

Currently when I drag the minimap to the bottom right corner of the screen, the quest tracker window comes with it. I actually don't remember it doing this before? which is why I ask. <3

Hi,

Could you, please, add an option to hide coords ?

Thanks for reading.

I'm playing at 2560x1440, and with the minimap set to its maximum size, it's still far smaller than is comfortable for me, and now I have to lean way closer to my screen to discern any detail from the minimap. The size option is great, but I do not think it should have replaced scaling, just supplemented it. Just my $0.02. :) Great, simple, functional, elegant addon. Thanks!

When you change the size of the minimap and you have rotate on, it can cause the compass to no longer be along the outside of the minimap. It would be nice to have some options to scale it up to fit the new size. Maybe it could be done automatically, but I think whether one likes the marks and the "N" to be inside or outside is a matter of taste, so having a slider and letting people adjust to taste might be the best option here. And while we're at it, have an alpha slider for if one wants the "N" and notches to the somewhat see-through (this also helps with the fact that at full opacity, upscaled, the compass texture looks a bit naff).

fwiw, I threw these lines into a quick addon to adjust it myself, so this is kinda what I'm thinking, except without the values being hardcoded, of course:

MinimapCompassTexture:SetScale(1.75)
MinimapCompassTexture:SetAlpha(0.5)
local point, relativeTo, relativePoint, x, y = MinimapCompassTexture:GetPoint()
MinimapCompassTexture:SetPoint(point, relativeTo, relativePoint, 0, 0)

This fits my size 320 minimap pretty well. The last bit with SetPoint was needed because, for some reason the compass is offset a bit by default, and it's really obvious when you blow it up from its default (0.7) scale.

Would it be possible to get a simple text indicator for instance difficulty similar to bdMinimap (bottom right)?

I like this map plugin very much, can I make a request, add a border material, because I think this material is very cool.
Thank you very much.

Hi funkydude,

thanks for this great minimap addon. I really like.
Could you change the line
self.SetPoint(MinimapZoneTextButton, "BOTTOM", backdrop, "TOP", 0, 2)
to
self.SetPoint(MinimapZoneTextButton, "BOTTOM", backdrop, "TOP", 0, 3)
to make the offset of both texts even? I know it's just a pixel but I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

(New to GitHub, so sorry if this is the wrong place to post this).
Is there a way to add an option to hide the compass points, the "N" for North and the South, West and East art around the minimal.

Many thanks in advance.

The GarrisonLandingPageMinimapButton button (called "Missions" button in the config; in SL this is the Covenant Sanctum button) in 9.0 gets delayed SetPoint calls by Blizzard and reverts to a hardcoded anchor. As a result it doesn't appear in the correct place.

Offending FrameXML code:

• https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-source/blob/52aec7cc87492cedd71b54cd022c95b51af2fa50/FrameXML/Minimap.lua#L662
• Hardcoded value: https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-source/blob/52aec7cc87492cedd71b54cd022c95b51af2fa50/FrameXML/Minimap.lua#L622

Workaround is to post-hook GarrisonLandingPageMinimapButton_UpdateIcon to force it back:

hooksecurefunc("GarrisonLandingPageMinimapButton_UpdateIcon", function(self)
        self:ClearAllPoints()
        self:SetPoint(...)
end)

Unless I missed it (and that does tend to happen), I don't think there's an option to hide the new coordinates display, if you would consider it.

BasicMinimap does text shadow a bit different from stock UI behavior, the only option addon provides is to add a shadow that is too thick (even on thin opion)
Is there any possibility to add another option to match blizzard UI text shadow? Current shadow offset is way too thick, and the "no shadow" option makes text unreadable at times
Some chat addons like Prat have this option too I believe

I hope you will find this worth implementing as it would go a long way to make my UI more neat :)
Thank you, and love the addon!

P.S. the quest tracker in screenshot is Kaliel's tracker in case it is relevant

Example:

What version of the addon are you using? (Stating 'latest' is not useful)

v9.0.11

Do you have an error log of what happened?

n/a

With the latest change I noticed that the minimap has gotten larger, even when set at the lowest scale (140).

Is it possible to allow it go lower than that? I've used BMM for years because it is just what I need without all the extras.

The blank square is where BMM sat prior to the latest patch.

This addon is ‘almost’perfect, the ability to scale and sizethe map is fantastic unlike others.
However for me the number 1 glaring issue is the fact you cannot move some of the buttons around the map such as the mail box, mission button, lfg button, in other words the blizzard ones. almost every other map addon lets you do this, which is so aggravating.

Two other more minor points would be the ability to move the position of the clock and zone name. and the ability for a flashing node option that addons like sexymap and mappy use.

For rotating minimap it would be helpful to know where North is, if possible

I have set the text color of Zone, Clock and Coordinates to be ClassColor, but they do not update to the right color when on another character. The border does change color as intended.

Can we place have control of the Paladin Sense Undead Icon on the minimap? It is always displayed and no way to move it.

Thanks!

I have been having a couple of problems with addons recently. This is one of them, and then I got two others also throwing errors too. When I am trying to fix the other addon errors I sometimes do a /reload.

One of the issues I have been having with Basic Minimap lately besides the other one I posted below is that when I do a /reload to try and fix another addon, Basic Minimap occasionally moves itself to the top-left corner of the screen and I have to keep moving it back to the right side where I want it.

It does not throw an error when it decides to move itself, but it gets frustrating when it happens. I don't know why it's doing that. The other two addons I am having issues with have nothing to do with maps/minimaps or even minimap buttons so I don't know why the minimap moves itself.

On enable FarmHud the backdropFrame from BasicMinimap is difficult to catch.
Please use the following function to help for a better cooperation between our addons. ;-)

if FarmHud then
    FarmHud:RegisterForeignAddOnObject( backdropFrame, "BasicMinimap")
end

For testing i've added this lines into Login( ) function.

Greetings

Didnt have any problems yesterday but actually redid ui and got a bunch of errors now..

Yes, again the same screenshot. At the moment I placed a broker below my map. It would be awesome to have the option to turn the actual date on or off and position it freely (like in the screenshot). If I am pressing the button, the actual calendar is opening.

Much love <3

I'm having a lot of alert about incompatibility with "some blizzard" functions asking for disable addons. Most of time when i'm flying. When i accept the game disables just BasicMinimap. What i tried:

• keep it disabled for some time and watch behavior.
• Disabled Carbonite (because a lot of libs and easy to cause issues) and watch again.
• Use another square and nice minimap too and see what happen.

Every test in case of BMinimap was disabled, i get no alert asking for disable addons.
Do we have some known incompatibility with another add on?

Hello. I ve changed the color of the clock on the default profile so i can use same settings on all characters but the problem is that the color keeps reseting to the black default one when i logout login... Can you fix it please?

Hey - firstly thanks a lot for the addon. I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option in to enable/disable the calendar in WoW? Would be good if you could add that along with the option to re-position the icon anywhere on the minimap.

Thanks!

BMM for Classic not Retaining Settings through /reload or relogs.

I see a post where another user was having the same issue, which he said was caused by another addon but didnt specify which. If it is, what would your insights be on what another addon would have to be doing to reset BMM settings between /reloads?

I receive the following error when I try to open the settings dialogue using /bm:

It looks like GetZonePVPInfo might not return anything (not even nil) and type raises when not given a value. If you have war mode off in a non-PVP zone, this is exactly what will happen. The following fixed it for me:

I would really like to have the option to disable the Location and clock or (as the other issue), move them around as I want to :)

I needed to modify your LUA file and now I need to do it everytime I am going to update your addon :)

Again, thank you! <3

It would be awesome to be able to move the default minimap icons like "Find Herbs".

Currently these can't be moved and cover the minimap:

Obviously this is not an issue, but the lack of a forum on the add-on’s curseforge homepage forces me to post this here:

This add-on is insanely great, and does everything I expect – without all the Chinchilla/SexyMap bloat. Keep up the great work!

This has been going on for little more than a week now. I think I first noticed it after the last game update where Blizzard was planning on fixing the AH issue.

Basic Minimap no longer accepts my chosen mouse-button assignment. No matter what I assign it to it ignores it. I want the Calendar to open on middle-mouse button click but it opens on your default right-click. I want the Tracking set to right-mouse button click but it opens on your default middle-button click.

It shows my correct assignment for the mouse-buttons in the config window but actually clicking on the minimap with the mouse it's using your default assignments.

For some reason when you use Bartender4 and this addon at the same time the Zone Text above the map disappears? Bartender4 doesn't use the zone text for anything so I'm not totally sure why this happens.

Before the one of the last update, was able to have border match the class that I was playing. Now will only do the same color for the border for all character.

Describe the problem

it does not show Find Herbs or Find Minerals in the newest version

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. click the spells and it should show up on your minimap top left somewhere, but right now it does not show up
