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.

Only way is to increase the scale of the minimap. __________________ "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]

Well hey, that'll work. They don't overlay the minimap but the basic idea is the same. Thanks!

Yeah, I guess I was just "special" that way.

I am pretty sure that there was some sort of conflict between SLDataText and it, but even when I disabled the whole calendar module of SLDataText because I wasn't using that module, it still didn't work unless I reloaded UI. I just got used to looking for the partially blocked ? underneath my buffs.

Anyway I'm just happy that whatever recent changes were made fixed it for me.

trclocke A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 108 Uploads: 1	There is one feature that chinchilla had that I really miss. When a player pinged the minimap, chinchilla would pop up a text overlay at the top of the minimap with the player's name, so you knew who was doing the pinging. It's a very nice thing to have when coordinating things over voice chat, or when you're trying to catch the guy who won't stop doing it If you get bored I'd love to see pocketplot implement something like this

That won't be difficult to implement. Please post this as a feature request at my portal - I use that as a to-do list.

edit: for now, if you wish to get your hands dirty, search the code for each instance of "OUTLINE" and remove it.

So, instead of SetFont(font, size, "OUTLINE"), you'll just have SetFont(font, size)

There are icons there, such as LFG, PVP, etc. So, this is not possible without being able to move those icons as well. And then the clock would have to be placed somewhere else, too, when enabled, otherwise the tracking and mail icons would also be covered up. In short, I won't be implementing this feature because of all the changing around that it would require.

Fair enough. I can definitely see that having both the clock and coordinates turned on would result in having some text under or over the tracking icon. I don't use the mail or clock function, so I hadn't considered that.

Do you mean the outline around the text? I can make it thicker, or I can make it disappear. The outline (and a thicker outline) are hard-coded text modifications in the game and just need applied to text if you want to use them. Is this what you mean?

Here's a screenshot of my UI, so you can see where I'm coming from . . . maybe.

I'd like to adjust the amount of text border that is used.

Thanks again for providing this great minimap replacement!

Thanks, and you're welcome!

Elviswind A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 10 Uploads: 0	I just found PocketPlot yesterday and now I've finally found a replacement for SexyMap. I really have no idea why someone would want a whole bunch of spinning graphics and borders on their minimap. Great job keeping it simple! I love how you have handled the tracking button (which is really the only thing I have had turned on all the time when I was using SexyMap) and I love that you have zooming in and out controlled by the scrollwheel. I have a couple requests: I'd like to mirror the placement of the zone text with the coordinates, so the coordinates would be placed on the inside edge of the bottom of the map rather than outside the map. I'd like to adjust the amount of text border that is used. Thanks again for providing this great minimap replacement!

trclocke A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 108 Uploads: 1	I see a lot of changes in recent versions. Very cool! I'll let you know if I run into any weirdness Edit with info: The new character specific profile settings work perfectly. I'm using a character specific profile for two characters, and the default profile for a third. I've tweaked a lot of settings on all three characters, and everything acts as it should. I finally get to drop chinchilla entirely which is nice Hide zone text, excellent addition Minimap alpha, very nice to have I dont' think I'll use the "hide minimap in combat" option. What I'm used to is a separate "combat alpha" setting that lets you keep the minimap visible but fade it out more upon entering combat, as an extra visual element on your screen to let you know you're now in combat with something. Just a personal preference. The option to hide it entirely is a nice addition Love the nudge buttons. They're exactly what I was looking for. The mover alpha change was very helpful, and the mover does seem to cooperate a little better now. Thanks for all the improvements, they're hugely appreciated!
