About Chinchilla Minimap
Chinchilla Minimap alters the Blizzard Minimap in a way to provide much nicer features and other niceties.
- Appearance
- Allows changing of blip size, border style, shape of the map (doesn't have to be circular, or even square, lots of options are available), size, etc.
- Compass
- A more flexible north-east-south-west indicator.
- Coordinates
- Show your location coordinates.
- Expander
- Make the minimap very big temporarily (good for gathering or finding a tough-to-spot enemy).
- Location
- Show the name of your location more flexibly.
- Move Buttons
- Move the buttons around the minimap to wherever you want (even off the minimap entirely).
- Ping
- Show which team-mate pinged the minimap.
- Position
- Position the minimap and frames around it.
- Range Circle
- Show on the minimap where your range extends to.
- Show / Hide
- Show or hide various frames related to the minimap.
- Tracking Dots
- Change the dots on the map to a different set of images. Very handy, especially if you suffer from colour-blindness
- Zoom
- Use the mouse-wheel to zoom the minimap and zoom out the map automatically after 20 seconds (or so).

hey just thought I'd send a clearer image showing the size change for me with this addon, the dungeon finder tooltip is a lot bigger since the latest updates. http://i.imgur.com/WYSFDXk.jpg
maybe the issue is it scaling with the minimap, prior to the latest versions the dungeon finder tooltip was the same size whether chinchilla was on or off. I play on a 50inch lcd from about 3 or so metres away and it looks really out of proportion for a tooltip. It's not a huge issue though and hope you enjoy your holiday :) just something to look into maybe an option to not scale the tooltip at some stage.
The tooltip scaling with the minimap would make most sense though it confuses me why that would happen. All I did was change the point where it "anchors" to the minimap button. :-\
I'll poke it again after my holiday but I can't promise anything yet.
no rush :) the addon is still awesome
Run into an odd problem recently... Not sure which is causing it. I use Handynotes, NPCScan overlay, Tomtom and Routes, and Chinchilla to embiggen my minimap and make it square... lately, (previous to this last update, so this didn't cause it) the map icons, lines and overlays have been flashing and moving oddly when I'm inside an area (indoors or a cave, anywhere it has a smaller map). I kind of suspect it has something to do with the main map itself, (not chinchilla), as Tomtom doesn't put anything on the map unless a waypoint's been set up, and I didn't have any, and the coordinates were flashing from numbers to a line of dashes (like in a dungeon) and back. Any idea what this might be?
I've noticed this a few times with SilverDragon and HandyNotes icons when I enter the Shrine of Two Moons but I don't know if it's Chinchilla's fault or not. :-\
Chinchilla only changes various artworks and moves/resizes various UI elements on the screen so I have a feeling the problem would still happen without Chinchilla.
I'm tempted to blame a bug in Blizzard's code, LibMapData or LibAstrolabe as zones behave differently in Pandaria. Or perhaps it has something to do with minimap scaling? I honestly don't know and haven't tested this extensively enough.
Yeah, I'm kind of suspecting something funky in Blizzard's code too. Someone on the project site for LibMapData says that some parts of Pandaria seem to have their distances multiplied by 10, and some divided by it. Not blaming Chinchilla for it. :) Just happened to be here when I thought of the problem, and you respond quickly...
There's an alpha of LibMapData that's newer than the release I had installed, so I nabbed that. I don't have LibAstrolabe. (Installs and tests) Hm. The icons were still flashing (it seems to think I'm out of the cave for an instant, then back in) but they were staying in the right place instead of sliding around, as was the one NPCScan Overlay mark i could see while in that particular cave. So I think you're right, it is Blizzard's stuff giving flaky info to mods.
Also, since 2.5.13 or 2.5.14, the LFG minimap button doesn't have the option of being shown when you hover over the minimap, it's either always shown (gold tick) or never shown (empty box), there is no silver tick option.
I have removed it for now as it caused problems elsewhere with other buttons and the tracking menu.
cheers for the great updates, the only issue I have no is the tooltip when LFG random dungeons or scenarios is really big and was behind everything strata wise, fixed this by making the miniap a different strata but this issue didnt exist before the recent updates and still wondering why the tooltip is scaling so large.
image of dungeon finder tooltip size increase http://i.imgur.com/SX2aQFD.jpg
update: also the strata for ping messages that say who pinged the map are now on a different strata for me and are behind the minimap :( I can fix this by putting the minimap on a lower strata but then things like the tooltip for dungeon finder strata is an issue again.
The tooltip is set to the "TOOLTIP" strata (funny that!) so setting the Minimap's strata to Background, Low, Medium or High should fix the tooltip getting hidden.
The tooltip size looks perfectly fine to me. It isn't "bigger" as such, it's just in a differerent position now.
I'll look into the Ping frame later. I won't be able to push out any immediate updates for a few days as me and my girlfriend are going on holiday over Easter.
Same issue here with the lfd tooltip behind everything. really annoying
Thanks so much for the fix, truely your a god amoung men! Now if I can just find a fix to clcdk.
v2.5.14 should fix the positioning problems a lot of you were experiencing.
Sorry about that!
http://www.wowace.com/addons/chinchilla/files/768-v2-5-13-1-gf280ff6/ version works fine.
Same here after the update, my position is defaulted to the upper left hand corner. I can't get it to stay where I want. :(
