Detached MiniMap Buttons  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.9.47
by: borohir [More]

This mod attempts to 'detach' all your minimap buttons, allowing you to place them anywhere on your screen. Positions are saved per server/character and restored next login.

This is the first version of this mod, I am sure not all kinks are worked out. I have tested it only with the mods I have, so please let me know which mods create buttons that I cannot detach so I can load them and see what-is-what.

Not all minimap buttons are detected at start up (such as FuBar plugin mods, which has its own moving anyway). A slash command is provided so you can rescan for buttons: /dmbs. This will also reposition any buttons it failed to find at startup.

Special thanks to AnduinLothar without whose code and ideas in Mobile Minimap Buttons I would not have thought of this.

Very special thank to acruz2772 on wowinterface for guiding me to changes for TBC! His excellent explanation made things much easier!

Slash Commands:
/dmbs : look for new buttons.
/dmbs nodock : buttons will NOT try to dock to Minimap when close to it.
/dmbs dock : buttons will try to dock to Minimap when close to it. This is default.
/dmbs reset : reset all buttons back to initial positions.
/dmbs config: bring up UI
CHANGES:


0.9.35:Removed the hooking stuff for SMM and lockdown as it is no longer needed! Big thank you to Arjuna of SMM!
Changed variable isMoving to isDragging, this will fix compatability with mods which also use this.isMoving (like ImprovedErrorFrame).
Changed event back to PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD since VARAIBLES_LOADED didn't help.
Changed TOC to 20003 (no 20004 or 20005?).
0.9.36:Added LFGX support.
Fixed (?) ICU button.
Added UI configuration: /dmbs config. This is a first attempt, if all goes well, I will clean it up and release this as version 1.0.0. Here is what the config does:
The first TAB are global options:
Use Grid X and Y turn on/off positioning buttons by grid coordinates. The sliders specify how big the grid is. Grid anchors
are always TOP and LEFT of the button. X,Y grid scale can be set independent of each other. Grid changes take place without a
restart.
Force Scale to 1.0 forces all buttons to a scale of 1.0 at start up. Good for strange scaled buttons. This only affects buttons at start up.
Lock All Buttons prevents DMBS from dragging buttons. This does not mean other addons cannot move the buttons.
The second TAB contains controls PER BUTTON:
On the left is a list of all the buttons DMBS knows about. Not in the list, then I do nothing to it.
Along the right/bottom are some sliders for moving buttons.
Scale allows you to change the size of a button from 30% to 200%. NOTE THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR ALL BUTTONS, so try it and see.
Force Hidden forces a button to be invisible. Unchecking will attempt to show the button, but the button is not forced to be
visible. NOTE: OTHER ADDONS MAY HIDE/SHOW A BUTTON. I MAKE NO EFFORT TO PREVENT THAT.
Lock Button stops DMBS from dragging a button. This does not mean other addons cannot move the buttons.
At the bottom are some buttons to reset position/center a button in case it gets lost.
0.9.37:Updated TOC for 2.1.
Added support for PoliteWhisper.
0.9.38:Added CraftBot support.
Added XCalc support.
Fixed up the /dmbs help text.
Removed some debug stuff.
Attempted fix for scaling error.
0.9.39:Updated TOC.
Fix for Tracking Frame on PTR.
Added some (maybe all) of the buttons produced by ShardAce.
0.9.40:Added profile copying. Use /dmbs config and select a profile, the use the copt button.
Possible fix for Gatherer notes not appearing. Switched event to VARIABLES_LOADED and then delay by 20 seconds before going after buttons.
Added AtlasLootEnhanced.
Added ClearFont2.
Added PhanxChat.
Added Sunn Viewport.
Fix for ShardAce right click on the count button.
0.9.41:Update 2.3 TOC.
Added command: '/dmbs copy [realm]/char' to copy profiles. If realm is NOT given, then current realm is assumed. Realm/Char names are CASE SENSITIVE.
0.9.42:Try to fix up initialization and button placements. Maybe screwed up when Blizz fixed UIEffectiveScale.
Possible fix for ShardAce Healthstone button.
0.9.43:Fix for Alarm Clock Wrangler.
Update TOC.
Fix for NX button.
Fix for scale being nil when clicking a button in UI.
Check GetLeft(),GetTop sometimes not returning anything?
Added Reinhearthe to TOC. Thanks for the updates!!

0.9.44:Fix for WoTLK tracking button.
0.9.45:Greatly reduce CPU usage (finally!)
0.9.46:Attempt to stop taint issues, check InCombat in Update.
Changed the way included and excluded frames are listed and added many more to skip over.
Fix for Chinchilla mouse scroll.
Add libDBIcon to lookups.
Fixes for tracking icon being wierd.
0.9.47:Fixed scroll bar in config.
Added bejeweled. Use RIGHT mouse to move that one, like tooltip says.

Not sure how the mod works, but is it possible to add the Bejeweled button to the list? That one won't cooperate.

Re: Interferes with Tank Windows Dragged From Blizzard Raid Frame

Originally posted by Iwa Washi
Love the mod, but I have encountered what I feel is a show-stopper when on raids. I used to use CTRaid Assist for tank windows. However, with the demise of that mod, all I have been doing is dragging tank names out of the Blizzard Raid Window, and setting them to show their target.

However, with Detached Minimap Buttons active, you get an error message (with the option to ignore the error or disable Detached Minimap Buttons) when you try to click on the tank's target from the window - and of course it won't let you target the tank's target.

God forbid that you select "disable" as it will disconnect you from the raid.
oRA2 has a MT frame and has been updated to work with 3.0 FYI

Re: Interferes with Tank Windows Dragged From Blizzard Raid Frame

Hi,
Sorry been away, not much time to play, but I have tried to remove the taint issues in latest versions. Sorry I do not raid much so hope it works!
Also added a lookup for libDBIcon, not sure if i have any addons which use that but I will check.

v0.9.45 is causing interface taint during combat. This is probably causing other issues.

Easiest way to show that is enter combat with only dmbs loaded and try and drag a button from the hotbutton bars.

Just FYI, this doesnt seem to work with any Ace3 addons that have minimap buttons using the "LibDBIcon-1.0" Library. oRA2, BigWigs, etc that use this now wont show up as movable in this addon anywhere and are stuck rotating around the minimap only.

Great addon, though it won't save my settings.

Some buttons become hidden again after logging.

Can't Detach the Atlas Loot Enhanced button post-patch with both mods updated (I could with the pre 3.0.2 versions). I can only slide it along the minimap. I posted on their comment section as well.
You can, but just need to look a lil further...
Atlasloot has a builtin option for this! Go to the options window within Atlasloot and play with the sliders.

Docking

I can't use the docking function for some reason... I have not changed anything in this add-on, it just doesn't work for some reason... Here's a picture of what happens if I do the following commands:

/dmbs
/dmbs cfg
/dmbs dock
/dmbs cfg




As you can see, it doesn't work. Anyone able and willing to help?


Thanks in advance,

Fonjask
