Votan's Minimap Updated this week!

Version: 2.0.7

by: votan [More]

Dependencies

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 )

I have turned off gamepad mode, and accessibility option, I have restarted game in keyboard mode. but moving the mouse only moves where my character is looking. Moving the mouse does not let me click anything in relation to the Hud, gui, etc. How am i supposed to click the minimap to move the minimap, if i cant click anything on the Hud?

Well, good point.

Fixing default map location

A lot of people have had a hard time "grabbing" the top edge of the minimap to drag it to a new position. It's a little tricky, but it can be done, as long as you're using a mouse and not a gamepad.

Here's a workaround for people who can't get the hang of it, but can figure out how to edit their saved variables. Change the coordinates in your saved variables file (usually My Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables\VotansMiniMap.lua if you're on Windows 10). These are my settings, for the upper right, between the compass bar and the current quest info:

Code:

                ["x"] = 548.5000000000,
                ["y"] = -375.5000000000,

Though I always thought it'd be nice if Votan would change the default to not be in the middle of the screen, since that's the one place nobody would ever want it!

I decided to check the comments here to see if anyone had solved the PTS problem yet, or at least if you're aware of it. I can wait for a fix on that. I noticed the comments on wayshrine costs, though - I've been having this problem for a long time, and hadn't known what was causing it. It's not limited to any specific wayshrine. It's all of them. It DOES seem to be related to your Minimap, as I just checked on the PTS, where I have it disabled because of the errors, and the wayshrine problem is gone. What I've observed about the issue is that it seems to be related to timing - it occurs most often when I've just arrived at a shrine and try to port right away. Sometimes it even shows no costs, then flashes briefly and changes to show a cost. At first, I thought I was just opening the map instead of activating the shrine - then wondered if somehow that's what was happening, even if I had activated the shrine - that it was changing to activating the map instead of the shrine. It always works correctly if I exit the map UI and activate the shrine. That little bit of a delay seems to be enough of a workaround. Fortunately, the game's own verification system of double-checking (You just ported; this will cost too much - Are you SURE?) saves me from the more costly mistakes, and I've started paying more attention even for the less expensive ones. I hope all the details help you track it down. Thanks!

How fo access my mouse pointer in order to do this?

Be sure to be in keyboard mode. You can't move it in gamepad mode.
Make sure the option to lock the position is OFF.
Use the mouse pointer at the title- or bottom bar to move it.

Yes, ZOS is doing some refactoring with the map code. As they told us.
I have to adapt. Nothing to worry.

And Thank You

Let me know if I can help you. I have become more of a user and less of a programmer as I have grown older. I am 83 this year and things I used to do I am having problems remembering. Makes it difficult to remember

Re: Something wierd happening on PTS during MiniMap initialization...

So it looks like it might be a data dependency difference between NA and PTS. Worst kind of a bug to find, I think.

I have tried copying fresh code from ESOUI to NA and PTS and clearing both copies of the SavedVariables file. Works in NA but fails in PTS.

That's all I have to help you.

Thank you, my friend.

However, often, when changings areas (like leaving a subzone, dungeon sections, or warping in cyro) the minimap zoom ignores what I have it set to and zooms wayyyy in and I have to open and close the normal map to get it to correct itself. Is there an option I am missing for this? I am using gamepad, idk if that means anything or is relevant. Edit: I deleted both the addon and the saved variables and reinstalled, but that didn't fix the zoom issue. Still have to bring up the full map to correct the zoom on gamepad.

With Votan's minimap disabled the port from the Elden Root wayshrine was free again.

Can not reproduce. Have you tried with minimap stand-alone?

Hi Votan, stand-alone as opposed to? Do you mean shut of all my other add-ons and just use Votan's minimap? I'll try that anyway. Will report back. Thanks for answering by the way

Ah, so with all my addons off except the Votan's minimap off, the port is free. One of my other addons is interacting with the minimap to produce the effect. I'll try find out which one. It's a slow process with 1 to 1 1/2 min loading screens.

Ok, found it. With all addons off except for Bandit's UI and Votan's minimap, it happens. Probably a conflict with the fact that Bandit's has a built in minimap too. I just prefer Votan's because the preset zoom functions are smoother and don't stick on the wrong zoom when dismounting/leaving town etc, in a hurry. It's not an issue on a new alt but is annoying on a full speed horse. I have a poor sense of direction and end up 3 miles in the wrong direction or off a cliff before the bandit's minimap catches up.

Hi there,

I would also like to report the wayshrine issue. whenever I try to shrine A to B I suddenly have to pay gold. It also starts the casting animation instead of just porting immidately. For some reason having this map enabled you open your regular map instead of the wayshrine map when you use the way shrine. I have run this addon without any other addons enabled and I still get this issue. It happens about 50% of the time, I think.

Okaaaay, I check that.

A solution might be to create a new setting that prevents the minimap GUI element from being dragged outside the screen?

I just realized, what I wrote was not quite correct. When you switch to gamepad mode the map jumps to the right, when you switch back to keyboard mode the minimap jumps back to the original position. With my suggestion for the new setting you could solve the problem, it is probably related to the scaling setting. I do not have this problem with Fyrakin's minimap.
