LightWeightMinimap  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 0.7

Use Votan's Minimap instead:
http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1...nsMiniMap.html




Small minimap addon that shouldn't impact the FPS too much.
Especially handy for those who use HarvestMap and get FPS drops together with ZrMM.

While in mouse mode (toggled with the . key), the position of the minimap can be changed by dragging the minimap title and zooming is done with the mouse wheel.
While your character isn't moving, you can even pan the map and look at other zones (the typical left/right click navigation from the default map works).

The size of the minimap can be changed via the chatcommand
Code:
/lwmsize [size]

The default minimap zoomout level can be set with:
Code:
/lwmzoom [zoomout level]
This is a number between 0 and 8, 8 being zoomed out the most.


The default map zoomout level can be set with:
Code:
/lwmdefaultzoom [zoomout level]
This is a number between 0 and 8, 8 being zoomed out the most.
0.7
* changed folder structure of the zip for minion compability

0.7

* Fixes command to set zoomout level. "/lwmzoom 0-8"

0.6

* No longer errors when attempting to drag skills.
* Map should always be restored to correct location.
* Fast travel for free from way-shrines correctly.
* Set default map and minimap zoomout levels.
* Resize minimap after ALT-TAB.

Looking good, but the name of the area where you are should be inside of the map...
Ff you want the map in top right corner it does not look good or add a setting to change the position of the text.

+1

I miss zoom in dungeons. Looks like I can't zoom in/out in a dungeon. Also one can't zoom back into the dungeon map if one zooms out to look at other regions of the map.

ZrMM had that problem in the beginning too.

Also there is a bug with zooming. Your zoom is resettet after you open the real map and there is no way to zoom in very close if you are in the minimap view.
Also I can't see how it uses lower fps, for me I get real fps dropts with this LightWeight version when changing from one zone to an other it takes 3-5 sec untill it loads the original map.

Woud be nice to have an option to config the szie of the map pins when zoom out because this dosen't make sense:

Found a bug - needs some enhancing

I found a bug at wayshrines where your minimap is jumping in the center under the cursor and knocking me out of the wayshrine link so everything costs money to jump to as if I was not at wayshrine.

Recommended Enhancements
1. Settings menu applet to control the minimaps features...
2. Lock position
3. slider for size
4. Slider for pin scaling
5. Font adjustment to map title (maybe add the ability to set title left/center/right.
6. Pin colorization display (many of us have addons to colorize the map pins - make the colors show!)

I will be watching this closely and would love to see you improve it for sure!

Thanks
Chilly

Laggy

I want to try it but its what is maybe described as "laggy"*in my case. Instead of smooth moving, minimap is "jumping"*while I moving which I found really distracting. I'll keep an eye on this addon tho.

Awesome . I always wanted a minimap but ZrMM just came with way to much lag in it.
Thank you very much and now maybe add the option to use + and - for zooming while running around instead of stopping and using the mousewheel (which is great btw, just not for during movement)

I do not think this is doing what you think it's doing:
Lua Code:
  1. function LWMinimap.OnUpdate(time)
  2.     LWMinimap.time = LWMinimap.time + time
  3.     if LWMinimap.time > 1000 then
  4.         LWMinimap.SetToPlayer()
  5.         LWMinimap.time = 0
  6.     end
  7. end

Time is an ascending value not deltatime. It is game running time. So your current code will not call your settoplayer until 1000 seconds of gameuptime and then settoplayer will be called every frame. I know you're thinking "hey 1000 is equal to 1 second" which is true when we're talking milliseconds, except time in this case is seconds in a float.

If you want to keep your timer you're better off doing this:
Lua Code:
  1. function LWMinimap.OnUpdate(time)
  2.     if time - LWMinimap.time > 1 then
  3.         LWMinimap.SetToPlayer()
  4.         LWMinimap.time = time
  5.     end
  6. end

Bear in mind by keeping this timer, the map will have a noticeable "yank" to player when moving at any decent speed with map zoomed in.

In my opinion though ditch the timer and let it run free assuming it doesn't cause any other issues. The issue with minimaps, maps, or any texture heavy UI element is the creation of the content not moving things. Since you're using the worldmap as the minimap it's already created and setup for you. You can let your update go freely with no issues. Especially since I'm assuming the worldmap updates are happening anyways since it's technically being shown.

YES! I've been waiting for someone to make another addon. I'd really love it if you made the font size editable (Zone Title) and also the position it is. I actually rather liked it on the bottom, but I can live with the top.

Edit; Can you also make it so that the large map zoom isn't tied into minimap zoom?

Bug: If you try to use minimap at way shrine it brigs up map and tells you to pay for it as if you were in the wilderness instead of teleporting. It also resets minimap position when it does this.

Bug2: Not sure why this is doing it, but this really makes moving (dragging abilities) really buggy. It will randomly dragon something I had moves before and replace it with that instead of what I had just dragged onto my bar its hard to explain. Could it be the little hand mouse icon somehow? lol

Nice start. Things I would like:

Alpha adjustment
Ability to disable the zone name title

The zoom level is also a bit glitchy and a little unpredictable when going back and forth between the full map.

This works pretty well, but the issue with the wayshrines means that for now I will not be using it (with this installed you have to pay for wayshrine travel). As others have said there are some issues with zooming. Good start though, hope you can improve it.

i have to agree with this, also it resets to center alot. a lock feature would be great!

I installed the addon to give it a try. It is quite nice, but still lacking some features (alpha, no border, fonts, location of labels, etc.). Therefore I removed it and switched back to ZrMM, but on the one character I tried it, I know have a sizeable normal map (m key) which is annoying as hell.

I removed the settings of LightWeightMinimap, but still have the changed normal map. Anyone else had the same problem and has a solution how to get my normal map back to the way it is supposed to be?

Thanks and take care,
Urbs
