Votan's Minimap Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.3.5

by: votan [More]

Description
This addon reactivates the mini map from ZOS. Thus the mini map does not do less, but also not more than the built-in world map, because it is the built-in world map.

No artificial synchronization of (custom) pins between mini map and world map. All kind of pins are supported by design.
But also no border pins or rotation mode and such features. My mini map is intended to be lightweight and fast.

Includes world map performance tweaks, which can be disabled for performance comparison.
The tweaks changing the pin rendering to utilize the CPU up to a framerate of 75 only. Seeing the pins rendered over time is not a sign of overload of this addon, but a compensation of others.
Conflicts with other mini maps can be expected. Therefore the mini map can be disabled to use the tweaks only.
I do not recommend to use the AUI mini map module at the same time as mine.
Gamepad support, but limited due to lines in ZOS source code, they call a "total hack" themself:
Positioning and resizing in keyboard mode only.
The window is resizable via mouse. (this code is written by ZOS, not me)

If you think you need a full-featured mini map try the MiniMap by Fyrakin.

@Shinni did a great job creating a plug-in for a Circular Votan's Mini Map.
And if you want to show group pins in different colors and/or icons, such as showing a different color for dead players, you may want to use Votan's Group Pins.

Providing a mini map can be an unthankful job. I guess Fyrakin could sing a song or two. Therefore I can't resist to say:
The addon works well for me. Otherwise I would not have released it. If you think you have performance problems due to this addon, help tracking down or stop using.
Frame freezes are most likely coming from an addon providing a lot of pins without taking care about creating even a simple pin takes some time multiplied by hundreds.
In this case the author of that addon can make it more mini map friendly, only.

Thanks to @scootworks, @Anceane and @Drakanwulf for testing

Remarks

There are key-bindings to toggle the mini map on/off. For technical reasons the toggle while at siege weapons needs its own key-binding. But you can re-use the same key.
If you feel dissatisfied with the second main menu entry for "Addons", take a look at Harven's AS to LAM adapter.
In order to move or resize the window, you need to go to the mouse-cursor mode. You can do this by pressing the key-bind for mouse-cursor mode, which is "." (dot) by default. Or you press "Enter" as if you want to start chatting.
Once you have the mouse pointer you can drag the window with the title-bar and bottom-bar. Or resize it using the border. The mouse pointer will change. Like in Windows. (And I guess MAC, too )

ToDo
- Try to enable tooltips: Update: Found a real, real hacky way. Gamepad mode is wonky. One has really have to think about going this way.

version 1.3.5:
- All settings, expect toggle state, account-wide: Zoom key-binds did use wrong settings.
- Fixed icon size scaling.
- Hopefully fixed the Cyrodiil zone caption update. Part 3.

version 1.3.4:
- Fixed "Show while Mounted".

version 1.3.3:
- Hopefully fixed the Cyrodiil zone caption update. Part 2.
- Update to LibAsync rev 1.6: Take cake of V-Sync on/off.

For V-Sync on, the target frame rate is bit higher than 60fps.
For V-Sync off, the frame limiter value (default 100fps) is used for target frame rate.

- All settings, except toggle state, account-wide.

version 1.3.2:
- Fixed wrong pins. Part 2.
- Hopefully fixed the Cyrodiil zone caption update.

version 1.3.1:
- Fixed wrong pins
- Hopefully fixed hooking pins. Like "Hide Preview Houses".

version 1.3.0:
- Update to LibAsync rev. 1.5.
- Allow to set a waypoint with ctrl left-click in minimap.
- Reworked tweaks.

version 1.2.5:
- API bump for "Dragon Bones".
- Renamed from "Mini Map" to "Minimap" for better addon search results.

version 1.2.3:
- Adding a deadzone to sub-zone map swapping.
- Hopefully better "Show On Mounted" key-bind toggling.

version 1.2.2:
- Prevent "Joviex's Addon Settings Transfer (Updated)" false detects the addon as settings useable for transfer.

version 1.2.1:

- Fixed Show Siege settings.

version 1.1.6:
- Fixed Mounted Zoom factor settings.

version 1.1.5:
- Zoom factors and show states are per character, now. But taking over former account-wide settings. I did not expect that to be so important. Sorry.
* If the character was not loaded before already.
- Update to LibASync 1.3.

version 1.1.4:
- Localization. Thanks to @lexo1000 for french translation.
- Zoom factors and show states are per character, now.

version 1.1.3:
- update to LibAsync 1.2: Low framerate mode, fix bug in Delay.
- Fix potential issue with detecting LibGPS.
- New option to show/hide compass, if mini map is shown on HUD.

version 1.1.2:
- LibAsync rev 1.1: New target framerate 75.
- Back to render method of v1.1.0 with new LibAsync.
- Fixed missing map update for Cyrodiil specific pins.
- Added debug option to show frame freeze warning.

version 1.1.1:
- Deleted unused files.
- Reverted rendering tweaks, which could make the addon "heavier".

version 1.1.0:
- Better support for LibGPS.
- Limited gamepad support. Thanks to @Shinni.
* Limitation: Positioning and resizing can be done in keyboard mode only.
- New option to suppress Zone change annoucement in upper right corner.
- Use LibAsync for asynchronous programming.
- New option: time format.

version 1.0.10:
- Added optional dependency to TrueExploration for compatibility.
- Fixed another small issue with "Show on Map".

version 1.0.9:
- New option to choose either or not to zoom to player.

- Changed clamped-to-screen-insets, requested by F-Lambda
- Fixed pins were keeping mouse-over-size.

VotansMiniMap v1.0.7:
- Update to LAM2 rev 23
- ESO 2.7 "Homestead" ready

* Still no change to World Map code from ZOS. Gamepad support still not possible.
- Reworked "Spread over time" calculations: Don't be too restrictive for framerates 60+.
- As map pins are larger now, they are made smaller on mini map.

version 1.0.5:
- Restore player pin level. (Hopefully)
- Hide map in gamepad mode.
- Scale unit pins, but not below configured minimum.
- Tweak change: Multiple calls to UpdatePinsForMapSizeChange are buffered, but the update itself is not spread over time anymore.

- Fixed missing zoom if using wayshrine in subzone. (Hopefully)

version 1.0.2:
- Again, more appearance options: Title font, size, color.

version 1.0.1:
- More appearance options. (Yes, yes, more will come)
- Fixed map pin filter for Cyrodiil.

Yes. There is a debug switch in the settings. Right at the bottom.

It's the common used lib. "Inventory Insight" raising the error.

I changed some settings and wanted to go back to the default settings.
I've used key-bindings for the functions:
Toggle Show Map (num 7), Zoom Max Out (num 8) and Zoom Max In (num 9).
I report the key-bindings because in the UI error window one of the messages is: EsoUI/Libraries/ZO_KeybindButton/ZO_KeybindButton.lua:148: in function.
Closed the UI error window and selected cancel for default settings and the minimap works with the changes. No biggy I can live with that

P.s. love this addon

Thanks

Nevertheless, I fix that.

Thanks for the quick response, as Dr4Wm4N said, good work, you rock.

The only ways I found to fix this are:

Use one of the two max zoom keybinds after discarding world map to correct the minimap icons size, or...
Set dungeon zoom to no less than 0.05 or more.

Do you think this can be fixable?

Thanks. I check that.

Sorry to bother you again with that issue, but have you got some time to take a look at it?

oh f... no. Thanks for the reminder.

/edit: try 1.3.5.

No problem, I'll try this version and tell you if it works.

EDIT: after a quick test, the issue seems to be fixed, good work, you rock.
