Hello, friends, ckknight here, author of FuBar, Cartographer, PitBull, Parrot, CowTip, Rock, and a few others.
I decided to make a minimap addon, born out of boredom and frustration. Personally, I think it's quite good, I tried to code it to the best of my ability. It is clean, modular, efficient, and overall worth trying out.
Chinchilla - Minimap addon of awesomeness. *chewing sound*. It'll nibble your hay pellets.
Modules, can be independently enabled/disabled:
Appearance: change opacity, size, shape (not just square or corner, you can do sides as well), etc.
AutoZoom: automatically zoom out after a specified time
Coordinates: show customizable coordinates on or near the minimap
MoveButtons: move your buttons around the minimap
Ping: Show who last pinged the minimap
Position: move the minimap and frames around it (specifically the Capture bar, Durability man, Quest tracker, and Quest timer)
ShowHide: show and hide individual minimap buttons as desired
WheelZoom: use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the minimap
Will try it out tonight.
You have a lot of time to kill imho.
But I won't complain ;)
Are the movers able to move frames like the Capture Frame, as SMM actually does ? (if it doesn't, I will maybe have to do a little re-ordering before switching to Chinchilla).
Another bug found. When the Zoom in/out buttons are disabled (because you are at max zoom in or max zoom out), dragging the buttons do not visually update it.
Nice, definitely going to try this. I use SimpleMinimap but it's been on life support for a long time.
Can the user change/remove the minimap borders? What about the coordinates frame borders? (I prefer a borderless UI look) Can the coordinates frame be positioned and sized?
Would also like the SMM feature of being able to see the name of the player who just pinged the minimap.

Yes, you can remove the borders of the minimap, as well as the coordinate's borders/background. The coordinates can move to a few locations.
There's no Ping module yet, but I might add one in the future.
More out of interest than because I actually need it: is it possible to convert a ping into coordinates? Would it be possible to convert another player's ping to a cartographer (or tomtom or whatever) waypoint?
I have strange problem though. Whenever I right click to configure the mod, it pops up my ReagentRestocker menu along with the Rock config window. Also, if I alt-tab (command-m on my mac) out and then back in, the map texture disappears so I just have a black square. Disabling and re-enabling the mod through the config brings it back though.

I believe that would be possible, with a little trickery.

Curse PremiumToggling MoveButtons module on and off repeatedly makes the button move weirdly (note that LibJostle is in effect)
