LocateBuddyLite

Version: 0.2
by: Cedric [More]

Description

The purpose of this addon is to indicate where on the worldmap/battleground minimap a party or raid member is. This is done swapping out the texture WoW uses to display the blips on the map. It was inspired by the need to differentiate between the dots when playing in a battleground so as to allow for easier coordination.

The original LocateBuddy was created and later abandoned by ma7hatter and EaonMcTavish. This is a gutting/rewrite of the addon without support for the regular minimap, and with all of the Ace code removed.

Instructions

Target a party or raid member, and type /lbl or press the keybind you've assigned to Locate Buddy Lite in the "Other" section of the keybindings. This will open a menu at the cursor location to allow you to set a custom blip icon for any player in your raid. When you set a custom blip icon, it will increase the size of the blip by 75%. When you clear the custom icon, it will reset the default blip to normal size.

Update - 0.2

Added better tracking of which blips have been changed for resizing purposes. This should avoid some crazy conflicts with other addons that change the default blip textures, but LocateBuddyLite will override them. I may eventually preserve the blip textures, but for now I just reset them to the default.

Update to 0.2

When 0.2 hits, it tracks the resizing better, but it won't preserve any custom textures used by other addons that modify the worldmap or battlefieldminimap. I don't mess with the regular minimap.

Warning for those who use addons that modify map blips

I just realized that some of you might be using other addons that modify the default map blip textures. The way my addon handles the resizing of the custom map blips is that it looks to see if the default blip textures have been changed. If you're not using the default ones, then the blip sizes could go crazy.

Eventually, I might use a different method of storing which blips I've changed and/or adding an option to enable or disable the resizing.

If you have trouble, just open the LocateBuddyLite.lua file, and search for 1.75. If you comment those lines out by putting -- at the beginning of the lines, then the blips won't be resized.

There are six lines that need to be commented out if you have problems.
