Apologies for my harsh words in that case, but your post opened with what seemed to be a sarcastic dig at the concept behind Chinchilla - I suppose I assumed your intent was unfriendly at that point.

It was a sarcastic dig at the concept behind Chinchilla. :D I made a similar sarcastic dig at the concept behind an Ace3-based clone of an existing, functioning Rock-based addon last week in IRC, by the way. I use the term "clone" loosely here to mean an addon which provides nearly identical functionality with nearly identical appearance. I realize of course that the "genetic code" behind such clones may differ greatly in method and performance.

this must be "geek" humor. I don't get it. =)

I just wanted to chime in to say I like it. I was using SMM, now it's the awesome goodness of Chinchilla's. :)

I'm excited to try this out! I've got an issue though, on husbands comp he's got a UI compilation that he's using and when I try to move the minimap all that moves is the location text bar.. the minimap itself stays put and acts as if its permanently locked there. In other words with the minimap unlocked, using the cursor to drag it, all that moves is the location text bar. Using the position sliders in Rock yields the same results.. that map ain't movin! Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit: Disabled Visor, moving fine now.

Hi, thanks for great minimap addon which finally combines almost all features I want from minimap addon ;)

I have one bug report and vote for a feature :)
1) There is a conflict with beql quest tracker window. When I have beql quest tracker unlocked I can move it without problem, but moment I release the mouse it returns to the previous location. Using Chinchilla's Tracker mover is very hard because beql quest tracker overlays almost the whole mover and you end up dragging the beql tracker.

2) I also vote for ability to specify one-color border around the minimap as already requested by ZealotOnAStick (I'm also coming from Squeenix and don't like the heavy Blizzard-style border)

ck, would you add options to change the color of the border of the minimap? Ideally, I'd like to be able to get just a very thin untextured black surround, like I can currently easily do with Squeenix.

I can't get the world map icon to go away, no matter if I uncheck the show/hide button. No error messages either...I use Cartographer.

Will take a look when I log in. With SMM I toggled it off and I never saw it.

AFAIK, Chinchilla doesnt have lockdown like SMM had. So if another mod tried to show it after Chinchilla told it to hide, it will show it.

toggled off in Cart. and Chinchilla'

Great work ckknight. I've replaced SMM and all its little quirks.


Please include sharedmedia texture support for a nicer border.


There is a little problem with some UI frame placement: when I have Chinchilla r61793 running, the UI pan es such as paper doll, quest log, trade box etc. appear on top of each other, rather than being side by side:

damn great!

this will replace my square minimap addon and an addon that shows me who pings. great! would it be possible though to add south, west and east as well as opposed to only north? not that i don't know wghere they are... it just looks nicer imo. and maybe a way to move them a bit more inside the minimap. my map is kinda cluttered with circles around the minimap.

*bows for the knight*

Working great, no issue with the worldmap button but with the battleground one, it's correctly hidden but whenever i queue for a BG it appear, if i go to chinchilla's option to check/unckeck it again it dissapear.

Hi there,

i have an issue with Cinchilla:

When i switch from fullscreen mode to window mode the map goes black. Indicators are shown but the map remains black until ui reload.

I have tried to play around with the strata setting because this helped with similar issue i had with other addons in the past. With no success.

I am on a german mac client using the most recent version available.

Kind regards

This seems to be an issue for *some* Mac users (See CHIN-17). Unfortunately, ckknight hasn't been able to reproduce this on his Mac, so it's somewhat difficult to fix. Not for lack of trying, though - hopefully we can figure something out.

Regarding the "black minimap" I used to have this problem with Squeenix, on my Windows XP machine. I'm not having similar problems on my Mac now. I don't think it's a platform problem.

Squeenix was changed and the problem was resolved around 15 monthos ago. I suggest you have a look through the Squeenix changelog (if there is such a thing) or do some diffs between the different revisions of Squeenix around that time.

Squeenix has special Reload button in config to solve the black minimap problem. All it does is this call:

Minimap:SetMaskTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\Squeenix\\Mask.blp")

Correct, thanks a lot, completely forgot about it.
