Carbonite Minimap loses zoom when exiting indoors.
It's a very recent thing. Whatever zoom I have the minimap at it loses it when I exit an indoor place and I need to zoom back, but it happens again the next time. There are no LUA errors.
I've done the usual deleting of variables, cache and reinstalling the alpha. https://imgur.com/a/jt0gLkR |
Just out of curiosity - have you right clicked on the minimized map and chose the "Save scale" option in the pop-up menu?
I have to apologise here as it's been two years since I played WoW, and it's looking like I won't ever have the chance to play again. |
I did, yes. And the lost zoom is easily fixed by right clicking and choosing 'restore map scale'. But, we come in and out of indoor places a -lot- and the minimap is close to useless when zoomed in so close.
The 'indoors' has to be a cave of sorts though, it does not happen if we just enter a house. The indoors docking map needs to appear. |
I'm still curious - why do you have the Blizzard minimap "docking"? That could actually be causing your problem.
I remember having the same trouble with the minimized map about three years ago (it could be longer ago, but my memory isn't all that sharp anymore :o ). I cured it, I think, by making the minimap go full size inside. It is (or was) part of the options for the minimized map. Once I did that, I didn't have that particular problem again. |
Because I found that the indoors carbonite minimap is not very accurate. If we are inside a cave, for example, it does not show the herbalism or ore nodes. A minor nitpick easily solved by docking the Blizz minimap.
This arrangement has worked fine up to now but now that you mention it I will do a quick hop in-game to test. Okay, went and tested. No option seems able to -remove- the docking. Which seems interesting. https://imgur.com/a/lsHofT0 After a bit of testing it only happens when the indoors has a map of its own. A simple cave or house will not trigger this (though it -will- display the docked mini map), but if the map has to change to display the indoors area then when we pop back out the zoom is maxed. I would say it is maybe just me since no one else is complaining about this, but I disabled all addons other than Carbonite Maps and had the same behavior repeating itself. Edit: With all this testing I remembered why the carbonite minimap did not show the ore and herbal nodes while indoors. I have never been able to remove the indoors docking and the second best thing was to scale the docked minimap to a pinprick so it was for all effects invisible. But once docking happens it takes over showing the quest givers and the nodes, so even scaled down to a minimum it was taking over those duties. |
After blundering like a caveman in modern times I managed to make the docked minimap go away by commenting line 265 in NxMap.lua which just created a bunch of errors, but the loss of zoom remains once leaving an indoors place, like for example the cave where we save the sleeping druids during the Val'sharah questline.
