Votan's Minimap Updated this week!

Version: 1.4.6

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 )

Does the second table declaration for "defaults" overwrite the data in the first local declaration? Or does the second table declaration for "defaults" result in a global variable?

I am asking because I like the way the Initialize function code saves and/or retrieves saved variables from the nested $Accountwide and characterId subtables. I am just confused about the having two tables with the same "defaults" variable name but each being used for a different purpose.

I think the second "defaults" table code is initializing the first local "defaults" table with different values again but I am not sure.

The first one is for taking over for new characters. The second defaults are the real defaults for the reset button.

Thanks, Votan. As usual you thought of the things I didn't.

Please take a look and help us here for a quick fix with your great knowledge and wisdom to make our addons be able to work together. Thanks in advance. http://www.esoui.com/downloads/filei...=2143#comments #edit: Thanks for your help. Should work as intended now. Last edited by Gamer1986PAN : 09/18/18 at 05:27 AM.

Votan, you're a magician.

I can finally switch to your awesome and now (optionally) rectangular minimap. It's all I ever wanted. Thank you.

Thank you

Dahlia

You can do this in chat:

Code:

/script VOTANS_MINIMAP.modeData.keepSquare=false

And you will see what will happen.

/edit: But stay tuned. I finally found a way.

/edit 2: Try version 1.4.6.

FYI.

No wonder. Map Tools does change the zoom level regardless the World Map scene is shown or not. As the load order of the addons is unpredictable, I can not do anything.

Thanks for clarifying. I'll try to work this with the Map Tools maintainer.

Fastolph Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	I noticed today that when using Wayshrines to teleport, I would always have to pay gold for it. After disabling a few addons to see which one was causing it, it turned out to be this Minimap. I already had the World Map tweaks disabled so it might not be linked to that. Anyone else having that issue?

crafty35a Forum posts: 5 File comments: 96 Uploads: 0	Hey Votan, one thing that would be great to have is another zoom setting for Battlegrounds only. Typically you want to be zoomed way out to see all the objectives. Currently I have to switch it back and forth because it's too zoomed out for non-Battlegrounds play. Thanks for your great work!
