I'm unable to get the class colors to show up for party members in the main map or the BG mini map.

I am having the same problem as well, it also doesn't shade them for in combat or dead (red/gray).

I noticed this as well but I also noticed that at times they colors would flash. For a split second it would appear the class coloring is working and then it is over written back to white.

I am truly missing the class colors on the bg-minimap. I didn't realize just how helpful it is...until it disappeared with patch 2.2

Seconded.

It seems odd.....they show up as white to me, which used to mean priests....So I keep thinking we had a HUGE influx of priest alts.

Same for me :( I just got all my other stuff working, now this is driving me crazy!

so what i need to do to see classcolored party members?

still broken on latest update as of right now. everyone's white!

bring back the diversity!

colors are still broken even with the update a lil while ago today.

when *not* grouped/raided, i can see my guildy cartographer users in their class colors.

as soon as i group or raid with someone, everyone's dots turn white.

hope this info helps!

It also "flickers" a lot between white and the class color on the map. Must be some addon that is conflicting with it or something like that.

So.

It looks like the culprit is in Blizzard's WorldMapFrame.lua:

function MapUnit_OnUpdate(self)
local texture = getglobal(self:GetName().."Icon");
if ( texture ) then
if ( MapUnit_IsInactive(self.unit) ) then
texture:SetVertexColor( 0.5, 0.2, 0.8);
else
texture:SetVertexColor( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
end
end
end

... I *think* this is there to support the 'afk in battlegrounds' feature, where 'inactive' players change color. It basically resets the color every time the map updates. Unfortunately, it sets it to that hardcoded value of (1,1,1)

If you don't care for that feature, and want your colors back:

/script function MapUnit_OnUpdate(self) end

this works fine, but is there a way to hardcore this, or do i have to run that script manually every time i load up WoW?

thanks a lot, and i second hardcore option for that.

I added the flashing inactive unit's in the inactive color to CartoAce, someone can port the small diff to the rock version as well.

I's so sorry, but I am new to the forum. Ive had cartographer for a while now and never had any problems. Since i no longer have the class colored circles I came here to find out why and how to fix them. I still have no clue how. Im reading this topic and it seems you have came up with a solution? or maybe not? i dont know. lol. Is there a fix? or did topic get set aside till later.. And who's reply do i look for to see the "offical" its fixed reply..

Sorry again to sound so newbish but what i can do. Im not going to lie. Ive not had to mess with scripts or anything before so I know nothing about them either. I will contiune to watch forums in hope that someone as basic as me goes: here it is.

thanks for any info I can understand.

Fixed on the world map, still flickering on the BG minimap. :)

I have that same problem (no class colouring )with the battlegrounds minimap.
No problem with the normal map.

Any solution for this ?
