Carbonite Map + ElvUI

[jeffy162]

I'm afraid I messed up.

I'm using ElvUI on the PTR, and I forgot that Carbonite has a problem with ElvUI when you try to combine the maps. I just fixed it (by turning off ElvUI's minimap control) and it works great, as far as I can tell, anyway. No errors yet, which is a GOOD thing. But, I've got a clock inside the minimized map, and I can't get that straightened out seemingly no matter WHAT I do. Weird.

I apologize for the wrong information, but at the time it wasn't wrong. It just turned out to be wrong when my mind finally remembered that Carbonite and ElvUI have a problem when you try to combine the maps, simply because ElvUI takes control of Blizzard's minimap.

Here's a screen shot. I don't have "ctrl" pressed, so, no clock in the minimized map.

I thought it only skinned the minimap? (I'm honestly unsure). Although I never combined them when I used it.

No, it must "take control" of the Blizzard minimap since when you try to merge the Carbonite minimized map and Blizzard's minimap in ElvUI, you end up getting an error and some weird other stuff. It's only a problem for people like me, who only like one minimap on their screen, and they prefer Carbonite's minimized map for that task.

Personally, I don't like ElvUI's putting a string of (what I see as) useless icons next to their minimap. And I just haven't found a way to turn them off yet. Not that it makes any difference. Everything else about it I like. One thing is it is actually very easily customized, something Elv gives you all the tools to do. Run into a problem customizing the interface? Just go to ElvUI's Forum for help. If you want to go too far in the customization, though, you better have more than a passing knowledge of Lua and XML coding. Which is the way it should be. Apparently.

U can have ElvUI and not merging map to have carbonite map instead of blizz. Thats what u want to do?

I only know of two types of icons that can go on/near the minimap. Other addons, which those addon authors need to have an option to either disable their icons from the minimap or add broker support. Then there are the vertical raid buff icons that Elv added, which has always had an option to be disabled. I've never liked either type of icons so both types never appear near, on, or around my minimap.


For some reason he has the option to disable them built in to the same feature that disables the Blizzard built in consolidated buffs. In the ElvUI options you go into Buffs and Debuffs, then on the right go in to the dropdown menu and choose Consolidated Buffs. Disable them there and those minimap raid buff indicators disappear.

Edit: Reinstalled Carbonite, disabled ElvUI Minimap and am not having any issues or errors combining the Blizz minimap with the Carbonite map.

@Petra: Ahhhh, THAT explains it! When I look at the buff / debuff options, the consolidated buffs stuff is ALL greyed out. So I can't do anything there.

@ircdirk: Yes, that's what I wanted to do, and finally remembered that there's a problem when you try to merge the maps if you have ElvUI installed. It took very little to fix it when I finally remembered what I had to do. It's all good, now. Thank you. (Look at my signature for a reason. SHEESH!)

Not sure, but will these settings help? Maybe you have to enable the ElvUI minimap and then disable the consolidated buffs, and after those then disable the ElvUI minimap again?
