MiniBlobs

Version: 5.4.1.5

by: jeruku [More]

_MiniBlobs replaces the quest POI and archaeology dig site map blobs on your minimap. It supports all standard minimap shapes, and works out of the box.

* Numbered quest markers not included.

Details

All quests in your quest log show their objective highlights. _MiniBlobs ignores quest watch settings.
This mod only adds blobs to the minimap - no numbered indicators from the world map.
Doesn't work with the “Rotate Minimap” option.

Options

You can access _MiniBlobs' options from your Interface Options menu. From there, the “Quality” slider controls how smooth the edges of blobs are drawn, and how jagged the edges of the minimap appear. The lowest setting should look reasonable without dropping your framerate. Higher settings, on the other hand, may cause dramatic performance drops for large, rounded minimaps.

Each type of blob can be configured separately. Both have configurable transparency, a dropdown to choose their general look (limited to default quest blue or dig site red), and a checkbox to disable that blob type entirely.

Quest blobs have an extra “Quest Filter” option to customize which ones you want to see. You can pick from either showing all quests, only quests tracked by Blizzard's Objectives list, or only your selected quest. This last setting matches how the World Frame shows quest blobs; You can change your selection by clicking the numbered circles in your Objectives list or on your World Map.

5.4.1.5:
- Fixed an issue where some addons would replace Minimap:GetChildren() but it never changed the return of Minimap:GetNumChildren()
- Should now scan the Minimap for any new, only after being added, objects that need to be shown above the Blobs.
5.4.1.3:
- Found some more minor issues with the fading.
- Hopefully repaired the Change Log.
5.4.1.2:
- Replaced erroneous code. Used wrong hooks for frame hiding, which kept the blobs from hiding with Minimap.
5.4.1.1:
- TOC Updated to 50400.
- Version updated to reflect previous version conventions.
- An overlay has been added so Minimap Icons appear above the blobs.
- If Minimap is faded or scaled MiniBlobs overlay will scale with those settings. Do note that Blips, player arrow and resources, will not fade unless Minimap is hidden.
4.2.0.3:
- Now replaces the default Minimap blobs
- Does not hide in combat
4.2.0.2:
- Added a “Quest Filter” dropdown menu to the options screen with new settings for watched quests only and selected quest only.
- Updated koKR localization, and added zhTW localization by BNSSNB.
4.2.0.1: Added frFR localization by Arcueild and koKR localization by Sayclub.
4.1.0.2:
- The default minimap border now covers jagged blob edges.
- _MiniBlobs is incompatible with Carbonite, and won't show any blobs with the latter enabled.
- Fixed “action blocked” messages when toggling blob types in combat.
4.1.0.1: Initial release.

I was just thinking the other day about how nice it would be to have a mod that did exactly this tytytyty EDIT: This was working on my Priest this morning doing dailies in SW, but now I'm on my rogue leveling in Outlands and the blobs aren't appearing? EDIT #2: Seems to be only for the two quests that I happened to be working on at the time. In Hellfire, the one where you kill the buzzards for the recipe from the zepp crash, and the on the path of glory where you cleanse bones or something? Other than those two it seems to be working fine in Outlands Last edited by Fragglerock : 06-01-11 at 07:07 PM.

Nope, there's no way to rotate the blobs.

I'll add a note of it to the description.

It is working afterall.
While they were turned off in archy already, it turns out I had forgotton about another archeology related addon (Archeology Helper) which was drawing them instead.
Turned off the minimap options in that and it worked.

Which minimap mod are you using? It sounds like it's not properly declaring that the minimap is square.

However it does seem to work with the quest boundaries when doing dailies in Tol Barad.
Whether that is a zone specific issue, or a difference between archeology and quest boundaries I will try to determine with further testing.

Here's the thread in the General Authoring Discussion forum. You can actually run that script using _DevPad if you want to try it out now.

Good news and bad news.

Carbonite seems to mistake _MiniBlobs for a minimap button - and then eats it. There were other issues too after I worked around that first one, such as bad framerate when zoomed in, and blobs lagging behind the rest of the map like they're on a rubber band. In version 4.1.0.2, _MiniBlobs will refuse to show blobs if Carbonite is loaded.

The better news is I've written a small script to add full-map archaeology blobs to Carbonite, although I don't know what to do with it. _MiniBlobs doesn't feel like the right place to put it, and I have no idea how to contact the authors of Carbonite (their WoWI forum is closed to non-supporters). I'll put the code up for grabs in a forum thread soon.

I'm agree with that. archy is most blliant add-on. but I only need a minimap blobs, so it's more useful for me.
