Done!

I'd like to come with a feedback, I tried your addon for the first time a bit earlier and I was surprised to notice it won't work for me, but after looking a bit through some of the other addons I use I noticed that AUI - Advanced UI has a similar function on his minimap (the only thing I use from AUI) that I had no idea of and it caused your addon to not apply the color changes because AUI seems to have priority over it. Just something for you to be aware of.

Other than that, I tested your addon with AUI disabled and it works great, all the best to you!

Hey, thanks for letting me know. I'll have to take a look at AUI at some point when I have time. Been a busy month for me so I've not been around much!

There might be something I can do for compatibility, but no promises!

I saw you already updated it!

Yeah, changing them to not be mouse enabled would disable being able to click the area pin for inactive quests as currently clicking it will track that quest

So, it's probably not feasible without having it block the pins they sit on top which would be annoying for the REALLY big area pins e.g. Northern Elsweyr "Dragon Hunt" quest

As for the borders, the current ZOS logic for it as simple as:

Code:

function ZO_MapPin:GetBorderColor()
    if self:IsAntiquityDigSitePin() then
        return ZO_MAP_PIN_DIG_SITE_BORDER_COLOR
    else
        return ZO_MAP_PIN_NORMAL_COLOR
    end
end

Now that "ZO_MAP_PIN_NORMAL_COLOR" is actually the same one used for the untracked quests and forward camps. So, even though you can customise it and it will be returned for the border colour, you won't see the border due to fundamental differences between the quest area pins and antiquity dig sites

I'll need to look further into it to try see if it's possbile but any change for it is definitely more complicated than the current functionality of just modifying the colour tables ZOS uses!

So be careful with that. Maybe, if the circles are not MouseEnabled (control:SetMouseEnabled(false) it could work but then you cannot see any tooltips at the circles anymore, not click them (if this was ever possible, dunno ) Last edited by Baertram : 06/16/22 at 03:39 AM.

I'm wondering if you can allow us to change the quest border color too, like you did for dig sites? Also, is it possible to change the draw layer (i think that's the right term?) of the circles? So they could actually sit on top of other map markers? Sometimes they get hidden under the map markers and we still have to depend on the quest ping to find them.
