Know Bugs

Shows a Yellow Circle border sometimes, drives me crazy. If you know how to remove it please let me know. I have no idea what it is, slips my mind looking. Also, sometimes the Heroic Flag shows somewhere else, I haven't really looked to see what that was, I'll try to see if that is still an issue.

Issues

MAYBE I will add backdrop. I did before, but I always use kgPanels or the like to add to it myself anyhow. I may add an option to hide or show backdrop if I do add.

CHANGE LOG v 1.7 10/27/2010

Updated for Cataclysm 4.0.1. Sorry for the wait. Got a hint to show the LFD tooltip no matter where you put the minimap from BgMinimap. Thanks! Added Time.

Issues - Shows round yellow border sometimes, drives me crazy. I don't know why it does that. *hint hint* if you can give me some :P

v 1.6 10/4/2010

Fixed the setpoint. Sorry! I had it fixed for a long while and now just fixed it due to my computer not working until now.

v 1.5 9/3/2010

Made it to where you rightclick minimap to open calendar
Added Pending invites notification

v 1.4.2b 7/22/2010

Made it to where the watch frame saves position now upon logging in and out per char, adding it to saved variables. Also added ingame slash
commands to change the strata. Will save upon logging in and out per char, adding it to saved variables as well. I'm getting better at this!

v 1.4.2 7/22/2010

Got rid of the xml error, or so I think I did.... If I didn't please report! I also got rid of the other error with the minimapcluster. Also, your character pane or other panes like spellbook should not be overlapping now! YAY!

Fixed a tiny typo

Is now saving shape between sessions, thank you Dainton!

v 1.4 7/17/2010

Made a few changes in code. Got rid of background, use litepanels or kgpanels for background :P I made it to where you can change minimap to round or square with ingame slash commands. /shape round or /shape square.

Also changed the mail icon, and changed some of the icons set points.

v 1.3 7/13/2010

jump on the version! I've been working on it without release.I cleaned more code up, got rid of more than onevent handlers. removed the menu button, because it was being stupid. Scale saves now! This is now moved out of beta and into release. Please posts bugs if you find them. Thanks!

v 0.5 5/26/2010

Cleaned the code a bit more, made a menu button on hover only below the minimap for ingame menu for your character pane, lfd, lfr, pvp, gm help, etc. THIS TIME FOR SURE I fixed the instance difficulty. IT WILL SHOW NOW! Sorry

Known issues fixed - Heroic Flag not showing. Is now showing. Ping while right clicking minimap now not doing that because I added the hover game menu button.

v 0.4 5/26/2010

Cleaned up the code a bit. Made all ingame text green. Added slash command /midgethelp to display all slash commands for the minimap. Added right click function to show drop down menu for ingame menu i.e. Character, LFD, LFR, PvP, GM Help, etc. Thanks to Alza! Fixed the Heroic Flag Instance Difficulty, it should show now.

Your addon does MinimapCluster:ClearAllPoints() on load
But blizzard has a function GetMaxUIPanelsWidth():

Code:

function GetMaxUIPanelsWidth()
local bufferBoundry = UIParent:GetRight() - UIParent:GetAttribute("RIGHT_OFFSET_BUFFER");
if ( Minimap:IsShown() and not MinimapCluster:IsUserPlaced() ) then
-- If the Minimap is in the default place, make sure you wont overlap it either
return min(MinimapCluster:GetLeft(), bufferBoundry);
else
-- If the minimap has been moved, make sure not to overlap the right side bars
return bufferBoundry;
end
end

so you shall make sure MinimapCluster:IsUserPlaced() returns true before hiding blizzard frame - probably MinimapCluster:SetUserPlaced(true);
However in general is should be a good idea to reuse MinimapCluster as it would play nicely with the rest of UI relying on it then.

Kulik A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	I think I found a typo in the lua code. In the info it says that the commands for the calendar are /cal and /calendar, but in the lua, you have it set to /cl and /calendar. The command /cl conflicts with critline. EDIT: Just found that /gp also conflicts with guppet. __________________ "We actually talked today about adding an item level 300 shirt that did absolutely nothing but mess with mods that attempt to boil down players to gear scores." -Ghostcrawler Last edited by Kulik : 06-20-10 at 02:15 PM.

Re: Scaling

Originally posted by roballey
I know it doesn't save right now but its really easy to open the lua and changed the scale there and save it. Thats what I did right off the bat cause I also changed placement of a few icons, and hid the tracking.

Yeah, I think I'm going to just do that for now and make the scaling LUa only but movable ingame with the game menu dealy :P

Until I can figure out filly how to get the scaling to save. I figured out how to get the scaling to save, but the codes all messed up now, and I was just so tired of staring at my mistakes that I took a bit of a break from trying to fix it. It's something that will be on the list though for sure, first priority to fix it.
