PocketPlot

Version: 3.3

See the Change Log tab for a list of all changes and updates.

PocketPlot 3.0!

PocketPlot has gone through a much needed, and long-awaited, rewrite! See the change log tab for a list of all changes in 3.0, including why I removed custom blip textures.

Features:

different shapes for your minimap (now 25!)
thin, black border (customizable color/alpha/thickness)
border and clock/coords have options to be colored by class
optional support for !ClassColors
moved and streamlined mail/bg/voice/LFG icons
moved zone text
option to hide zone text
hide tracking button (use shift-right-click on minimap to open menu)
SharedMedia support for fonts
zoom with mousewheel
hides map button, zoom in/out buttons, etc.
moved and streamlined clock
option to disable the clock
coordinates display (click coords to toggle world map, shift-click to send coords to chat)
"smart" coords/clock display (change positions depending on what's shown), can show below or above minimap **now with offsets
ability to move other frames related to the minimap (durability, vehicle seat indicator, instance difficulty/guild flag)
can also move WorldStateAlwaysUpFrame (top-center of screen status display)
right-click the minimap to toggle showing the in-game calendar (default flashing ? still shows for new calendar invites)
can change the alpha/transparency of the minimap
option to hide the minimap in combat and/or pet battles
option to display cursor coordinates on the world map
each character has a choice of using either a global or character specific profile

FAQ:

Is there a slash command?
/pocketplot and /pp

How do I move the minimap or other frames?
In the PocketPlot config window, enable the mover for the frame you wish to reposition in the movers menu. Drag it wherever you wish. When finished, select "None" from the movers menu to get rid of the blue anchor. You can use the "Nudge" buttons to move a frame by one pixel at a time in any direction.

Where can I find more fonts?
For further font choices, I suggest the SharedMedia addon. Have a font you want to use that's not in there? Read the "Instructions for MyMedia.txt" file in the SharedMedia folder.

How can I move the tower capture bars?
I have opted to not support moving those, as it's a PITA to do so.

I suggest the mods Capping or SSPVP3 for all of your pvp needs (including moving the capture bars and score frame).

How can I give feedback?
Feel free to leave your comments/questions here, but all bug reports and feature requests need to go to my portal if you want me to remember to do them.

Bug Reports / Feature Requests

Can I use your code/blips?
All use of my code and custom blips separate from PocketPlot must be for your own personal use and they may not be redistributed separate from the addon. You may use snippets of my code in addons you intend to distribute only after receiving permission, and credit must be given.

Can I redistribute your addons?
My addons may only be redistributed in UI compilations, and any mention of the addon must point to its download page or my portal, both on wowinterface.

Do you accept cookies?
I love cookies! Unfortunately, they may turn to crumbs in the mail. Instead, you may donate to my cookie fund via PayPal.

eep!

Sorry about that. I had moved a block in the code right before uploading, thinking I was making it neater, but I guess I just broke it.

edit: 2.1.1 should fix it for you.

Note to self (for the 20th time): stop thinking after bedtime.

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	I've gone ahead and just embedded LibSharedMedia - not sure what I was hoping on saving by doing the reverse. I think I actually shaved off a kb of memory! Try it now, ironwulf. I have also made the smart coords smarter. They'll hide when you go in an instance, since coords don't exist in an instance anyhow. __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

hrm... I'm fairly sure I'm doing things right with LSM (only difference between PocketPlot and my other addons is the check to see if LSM is installed)... How did you get this error?

Error only shows up when I log-in or re-load. Can't really see what's wrong as Grid and my other add-ons still look fine as far as all their font settings.....

No, sorry, the border you see is actually a frame/box sitting behind the minimap. Minimap borders do not work the same as other border textures, which is why it is done the way it is. What you could do is turn the alpha all the way down and put a kgPanel of your own behind the minimap with the border of your choice. If there is enough demand for it, I may add a border to the frame behind the minimap. Do me a favor and post that in my portal as a feature request...

Very nice, I'm liking the streamlined look to this very much.

Two things to note with 2.0 when I installed it:
1. Changes to border setting are not saving between sessions or reloading UI.

Ack - I'll see what I changed to cause this to not work anymore

2. Seems this is doing something strange with LSM?. I'm getting following error with Pocket Plot installed:

Re: Re: Thank you and a question

When you tried to move the timer frame, did you use ClearAllPoints() before trying SetPoint()?

I'm not sure if I used the ClearAllPoints or not. I'll try that tonight and see what I can do with it.

Thanks Seerah.

*edit*
Came across some interesting behavior while testing this. I added the following into the lua:

Code:

local a,b = -200, -50	--offset of the Quest Timer frame from the top right corner.
local qtscale = 1	--Quest Timer frame scaling
 -------
--QUEST TIMER
	QuestTimerFrame:ClearAllPoints()
	QuestTimerFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", UIParent, "TOPRIGHT", a, b)
	QuestTimerFrame:SetScale(qtscale)

What I found out is that every time the Quest Timer is hidden and then shown again OR when any action is performed it will reset to the default position, making any changes to the lua useless and even when scripted in game, I can watch it return to default as soon as I do anything.

Also changing the setpoint to topleft / topleft will cause the frame to stretch horizontally (the top right corner will always stay anchored).

I've peeked at other mods to see how they do this, but they are doing so much that I quickly get lost in all the locals and ace-specific calls.

In the mean-time, I've macro'd my code so I can at least peak at the quest timer even if it does move back right away (I have buffs below the minimap, the default position for the timer).

I ask because this is usually tied in with other map mods and I'd hate to download a 'moveanything' type mod just to move one frame.

Thank you for your time and effort.
