Votan's Minimap  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.0.6
by: votan [More]
DependenciesDescription
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 )

Oh, I did. Very recently. Extra for pvp'lers, because I do not do PvP. Please let me know, if something is not working.

Thanks for this. The map works perfectly for me. I 've tried the other maps, and this one works far better.

Thanks again!

Where are the settings?

I like the mini map very much

-d

Edit if you call it ""Votan's Mini Map" - that's what it should say in add-on settings

Is it possible to see pins (at least quests one) even if you're not nearby? Fyrakin's has this and I really like it!

Well, depends on how he did that. I have not that much control about what happens inside the build-in map.
So no, not yet. I can try, but no promise.

Edit if you call it ""Votan's Mini Map" - that's what it should say in add-on settings
Thanks

It is the way has2lam works. You could modify it not to strip the author from addon name.

This addon is incredible Votan. I've been waiting for a minimap like this.

I've just noticed a few bugs that are worth mentioning.
When this minimap is enabled, it seems to modify the game's UI functions globally, even outside of the minimap.
-Pressing escape opens the menu a lot slower* than when the minimap is disabled.
*With further testing, it seems that most or all menus open slower (even the loot window).
-Opening the map window makes the map zoom to where you are from some other location.

Hi Votan,

Thanks for sharing this. It is a great idea to have a minimap that is essentially a scaled version of the built-in map, to be as performance friendly as possible.

There are just a few things I would like to see added, if you have time:
  • Option to remove border frame completely.
  • Option to scale pin sizes.
  • Option to zoom out a bit further (not critical).

Great work as always.

EDIT: One other minor thing. In order to integrate with compilation UI configurations like PhinixUI, it would be nice to be able to manually adjust the width/height of the minimap.

Cheers!

Using HarvestMap?
Having the same problem with pins filtered out?
Do you have mini map visible at loot window?

And yes: Due to mode change the map zoom resets and pans to player, because there is not jump to player, which could be call. (Internal only)

Not using HarvestMap. Also not using any other addons that modify the map. I turned this addon off and on to compare the difference and whatever is making the UI slower is definitely coming from the minimap.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by filtering pins out, but I disabled all the filters on the world map and the UI was still slow. On a side note, disabling all the filters on the world map didn't get rid of the pins on the minimap. I don't know if it's supposed to, but that might be a neat feature to have

I'm using the default minimap settings, so "Show while looting" is unchecked. Here's what my settings look like:

World Map Tweaks - On
Mini Map - On
Zoom - 1
Mounted Zoom - 1
Show in HUD - On
Show while looting - Off
Show while mounted - Off
Show in combat - Off
Show at siege - Off
ESO Border Style - On
Show Clock - On

I'm tracking the memory usage using your Settings Menu addon and I'm allowing sufficient extra memory space. Addons are using 40 of the allotted 64 MB (I also tried to bump it up to 128 max with no difference), so I don't think this could be a memory problem.

How many pins do you have?
And what if you disable the tweaks?

The pin categories are the defaults (Objectives, Wayshrines, Group Members) plus Garkin's Skyshards (Unknown Skyshards enabled, Collected Skyshards disabled).

Disabling World Map Tweaks with Minimap enabled still slows the UI.
Disabling the Minimap with World Map Tweaks enabled fixes the slow UI.
The problem seems to be with the minimap.
EDIT: I disabled Show in HUD while leaving the minimap on so the minimap wouldn't show in any scenes, and the UI returned to normal speed. Seems to be related to displaying the minimap.

If I had to throw out an uneducated guess as to what's happening, it might have something to do with why the minimap and worldmap are jumping locations when they're opened. The time it takes to open the escape menu or any other menu is about the same time it takes for the minimap or worldmap to jump from whatever position it thinks it should start at to the player's position.

EDIT: I'm trying to see where the minimap is starting from before it jumps, and it looks like it's at max zoom level of the zone without pins first, then zooms to the player and adds pins simultaneously. I don't have any experience with the ZOS API, but maybe some map functions being used in the minimap have performance issues? The game might be having a hard time trying to recreate the map each time a new UI window is opened, if I'm understanding how the minimap is functioning based on what I've observed.

Are you using "Destinations". Could you disable it for testing, please?
If not, can you show me a list of your addons?

Any chance you can add zoom from scrolling and being able to set a default zoom level in options?
