CompassHUD  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.0.16
by: Vrul [More]

A heads-up-display style compass. The configuration is load on demand and supports ConfigMode. To access the options use either /compasshud, Blizzard's Interface Options Panel, or right click the compass when its unlocked.

The "Alpha, Parameters" option takes macro-style input. Examples:

[combat] 0.4; [group] 0.6; 0.7

[flying] 1; [combat] 0.5; 0.75

Note: In order for the compass to work while in an instance the Rotate Minimap option (Interface->Game->Display->Rotate Minimap) must be on, otherwise the compass will auto-hide while in an instance.

I found a way to make the compass work while in an instance as long as the Rotate Minimap option is on. The new version (1.0.12) just went up and should be available soon.

Apparently in patch 7.1 Blizzard broke functions that return the player's position and direction while in an instance. The version I just put up (1.0.11) will hide the compass while in an instance which will get rid of the error spam.

not saving position again...

Seems the position has started resetting again upon log out or reload-ui. Was working briefly, but now, not so much. Just wanted to give ya a heads up. /wave

I love this, reminds me of so many good games. 1 thing i hope you could implement in the future (if its possible) is a indicator of quest direction, that would be awesome.

I just uploaded version 1.0.6 that should fix this for you.

The Addon is great, love it. Only issue I've seemed to encounter with it so far, is that whenever I reload UI or log out / back into the game, the placement of my compass resets to default location on screen. Happens on every character as well. Thought I'd let ya know, thx!

Can you make a localization file?

It's so cool.
I would love to add koKR localization and translated Korean Compass.tga to the CompassHUD.
Once you have created the file. I'll modify the koKR contents.

translated compass.tga zip file
