QuseMap

Version: v1.3

by: Qupe [More]

Rectangular shaped minimap based on Dawn's dRecMap and Ichik's Wanderlust.

DISCLAIMER:

Due to how the minimap is made into a rectangle, placing the map flush
against the top and bottom borders of the screen is impossible.

The minimum space needed is already calculated for you in the LUA.

FEATURES/FUNCTIONALITY:
- Rectangular!
- Lightweight
- Easy-to-use .LUA config in "QuseMap.lua" file (to change anything past default, you must be willing to look at lua)
- Snazzy "new mail" indicator
- Picomenu (micro-menu) written by Neal, featured in Neav UI
- Replaces instance difficulty flag with a text-based indicator

- To open Picomenu, click the bright yellow square in bottom left of map
- Right click anywhere on the map to bring up tracking list (default spot is top left corner)
- Left click the clock for the calendar (or type /cl)
- Right click the clock for the stopwatch frame
- Clock will turn light maroon color when there is a pending calendar invite

HOW TO:
- Open the QuseMap.zip file
- Place the QuseMap folder into your AddOns folder
- Enable at the character select screen
- Bananas!

* If you would like to disable the Picomenu, delete/rename the "picomenu.lua" file from inside the addon folder.

FONTS HOW TO:
I have included both a pixel font and a non-pixel font in the folder.
To swap between them choose either font at the top of the QuseMap.lua file (look for the large "CHANGE FONT HERE" text).

For pixel fonts: change the value to true. For non-pixel fonts change value to false

Lua Code:

local pixelFont = true   -- false for normal fonts

If you wish to change the font size or outline for either font change the values for your corresponding font:

Lua Code:

if pixelFont == true then
    font = mediaFolder.."font2.ttf"     
    fontsize = 8
    fontflag = "OUTLINEMONOCHROME"
else
    font = mediaFolder.."font.ttf"  
    fontsize = 12
    fontflag = "OUTLINE"
end

* If you wish to change the supplied fonts, drag and drop your desired font into the media folder and rename it to font or font2 (font = non-pixel font, font2 = pixel font).

TO DO:
- Add Dawn's "hold-ALT-to-move" code back in.
- Figure out how to make clock text flash when a pending invite is present.

If you find any issues or have any suggestions/comments/issues, please leave a comment in the comments section!

All credit goes to the authors whose work this addon is derived from and anyone who has helped me out!
Thanks go out to Ichik, Dawn, Haleth, eiszeit/Lyn and Phanx.

For anyone getting an error when using this sexy thing (patch 5.2).

replace line 111-133 with:

Code:

rd:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
	local _, _, difficulty, _, maxPlayers = GetInstanceInfo()

	if difficulty == 0 then
		rdt:SetText("")
	elseif maxPlayers == 3 then
		rdt:SetText("3")
	elseif difficulty == 1 then
		rdt:SetText("5")
	elseif difficulty == 2 then
		rdt:SetText("5H")
	elseif difficulty == 3 then
		rdt:SetText("10")
	elseif difficulty == 4 then
		rdt:SetText("25")
	elseif difficulty == 5 then
		rdt:SetText("10H")
	elseif difficulty == 6 then
		rdt:SetText("25H")
	elseif difficulty == 7 then
		rdt:SetText("LFR")
	elseif difficulty == 8 then
		rdt:SetText("5CM")
	elseif difficulty == 9 then
		rdt:SetText("40")
	end

From FreeUI.

yes it is. i dont know if its connected to my settings . didnt test it with a clean grid2 install.

Think I have it fixed, got an update ready to go. Probably my crappy code!

thanks!

Glad it works, but not sure why it wouldn't work out with MiirTexture pack (maybe he has a skin for the minimap it doesn't work with?).

Thez conflict because i also set a mask to the default minimap which makes it square, which Qusemap probablz also does

Yep, it does!

1. Others have mentioned this, I have no idea if it can be fixed. There's something I had in mind, but I still can't reliably get blips or quest markers off the edges for some reason. Might have something to do with the level of "zoomed-in" people are.

2. Remove the file called picomenu.lua and the menu should disappear.

Yes, MirrTexture pack does change the map. All you have to do to fix it is to delete the map skinning folder that comes with MirrTexture pack, and it will no longer conflict.

Doesn't hide the rest of the map outside the rectangle. It works on beta, though so I don't know why that is. I hope you can take a look at this quickly... I built my entire UI around it

EDIT: Figured out the problem... doesn't play well with Miir Texture
