[AddOn] Clean BG Map

[Drood]

What it does:
- automatically shows BattlefieldMinimap when in BG and automatically hides it when not
- clears the unnecessary parts of the map
- changes scale when clicked
- other: keybinds and minimal customization




List of commands:
/cbgm enable | disable | show | hide | lock | unlock | reset | scale [0.66-3] | altscale [0.66-3] | anchor [topright | topleft | bottomright | bottomleft] | strata [1-4]

The first four are obvious.
/cbgm show - if you want to see the minimap when outside a BG (lost on loading screen)
/cbgm lock - unregisters mouseclicks for the map so that you can click through it (as is Blizzard's default)
/cbgm unlock - makes the map alternate between two scales when clicked (this is the new default)
/cbgm scale and /cbgm altscale (followed by a number between 0.66 and 3) - changes the default values of the two scales
/cbgm reset - resets the scales and positions the map in the centre
/cbgm anchor - changes the position of the minimap relative to the Tab that says "Battle map"
/cbgm strata - changes the Frame Strata of the BGmap (default is 2 i.e. "LOW")

Do you think it's better than Battlefield Commander2? and yes, it exists for Vanilla

 

[Drood]

Never used it or heard of it, cannot say.

Thx for this mod :smile:

 

[Aeonix]

is there something like this for world map too?

Try Cartographer http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info6403-Cartographer.html

So how do I make this map narrow like on a screenshot? All commands are ok, scale, enable/disable, show, anchor position, meaning the addon is working.. I can zoom in when I click on the BG map too, but it's wide just as the default one.

 

[dms]

You might have some conflicting addon? Has always been narrow for me.

 

[Sarei]

No idea, I tried without any other addon enabled, same thing :S

 

[Drood]

Where does this happen? The map is only supposed to be narrow in WSG, AB and AV, and it happens automatically.

 

[Sarei]

Yea in WSG.. I can click on it to zoom in, and borders are gone, but that's about it, it doesn't get narrow.. And you can see options in chat too.

Have you ever seen it work? Under any circumstances? What happens when you try typing

/run _G["BattlefieldMinimap1"]:SetTexture(nil)

Are you using modui or are those just the textures? That could cause the problem.

Also get kuurtz bgenemyframes instead of those old ones, its way better 8)

 

[Sarei]

Nope, I've installed the addon few days ago and I never saw it narrow, always like in the screenshot above.. The code doesn't change anything :S

Yeah, it's blackframe addon for textures, don't use ModUI.. I don't like the looks of those new ones, like to keep everything as simple as possible and these are just that :d

 

[Topmong]

Just play with the default ui dude...

 

[Drood]

I don't know, Sarei, I cannot reproduce the problem. The code should disable the upper-left corner, at least temporarily.

 

[sycvil]

There is an undeclared _G which causes an error in BGs unless it is declared as a global by some other addon. As far as I know _G exists by default since TBC but in vanilla you have to declare it manually.
Sarei, try to add this line to the beginning of CleanBGmap.lua:

local _G = getfenv()

 

[Drood]

Ha, didn't know that. I replaced all instances of it with getglobal(), I suppose it should be fine now. The link is updated.
