the Map Selector drop down boxes have been slightly reduced in size by default, and will remain a constant size no matter which UI Scale is selected.
If you are not happy with the default size, then the following slash command can be used to change it :

/am ddscale <value>

The default scale value for the Map Selector controls is 0.7, and can be changed to any value between 0.3 and 1.4.
For example :

/am ddscale 0.64 -- will reduce the size of the Map Selector boxes slightly

Use "/am ddscale" on its own to reset to the default value again.
The command will report the old and new values being set.
As an option that will be rarely used, there is no corresponding GUI component for this Option yet - perhaps later ;)
NOTE : This option controls the size of the Map Selector frame both when attached to the AlphaMap, or Free Floating.

Unexplored Areas

Certain other AddOns such as Foglight or MetaMapFWM may not be compatible with AlphaMap (Fan's Update).

However, "MozzFullWorldMap (Fan's Update)" works with the normal Blizzard map, AlphaMap, Cartographer, and/or MetaMap.

Download from

http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2653


You must disable Foglight and enable MozzFullWorldMap if you have Carto installed. If you have MetaMap installed, then you need to disable MetaMap's own version of FWM.

!!! BIG AUTHOR ANOUNCEMENT !!!


Well folks,

That's all from me - I'm giving up WoW and therefore won't be able to maintain my AddOns from now on. I'm starting a new job, and its just time to move on.

Thanks for all the support, and I hope you still find these AddOns continue to work for some time to come - otherwise you'll just have to find some other poor sucker to maintain 'em ;)

If anyone is interested the following AddOns will be orphaned :
NotesUNeed,
AlphaMap (Fan's Update),
PartySpotter,
MozzFullWorldMap (Fan's Update),
MapNotes (Fan's Update),
WorldBossStrategyGuide,
Neptunia's MapNotes Skin


I'll be around for a few more days, but then you're on your own.


SLATFATF,

Telic :)

Changes in v2.90.20003 from v2.81.20003
---------------------------------------

- BIG CHANGE TO FUNCTIONALITY : PLEASE READ !!!
The Mouse Interaction Mode which allows you to Zoom in and out of world map Zones NOW USES THE <ALT> KEY.
NOT THE <CONTROL> KEY.

- As Above, to move the on map Coordinates, you now need to use the <ALT> Key, and NOT the <Control> Key.



- IMPORTANT CHANGE TO MapNotes(Fan's Update) COMPATIBILITY
You can now Create and Edit MapNotes on world zone maps in AlphaMap, using the standard <Control>-Right Click method of interaction.
You should now also see Party Notes, and Thottbott Markers on the AlphaMap world zone maps.
You can create a Party Note on the AlphaMap, but will need to hold down both the <Control> & <Shift> keys.
This functionality requires the latest version of "MapNotes (Fan's Update)". (v3.40.20003 or later)
NOTE: As a Result of this change the AlphaMap Option to hide MapNotes Tooltips no longer works when using MapNotes (Fan's Update); And only applies to the tooltip's displayed when using CTMapMod or MetaMap



- USEFUL NEW INSTANCE/BATTLEGROUND FEATURES
Zoom in to see Instance Maps in more detail by <Alt>-Left Clicking on them. (2x zoom)
Zoom out again by <Alt>-Right Clicking
Useful for quick checking areas in detail without having to change the scale of the map frame itself, or focusing in more detail on particular dungeon wings.
NOTE : Must have Mouse Interaction Mode enabled. (Enabled by default).
NOTE : Can't currently zoom in on maps created from in-game Minimap Textures such as World Boss maps (these are already zoomed minimap textures, so I didn't dedicate any time to it ;)

- Can now scale the AlphaMap Notes on Instance/BattleGround/WorldBoss Maps to suit your needs
For example - open up an Instance Map;
Open up the AlphaMap Options;
Click on the Second Tab;
You will see the options have been slightly re-organised, and there is now a slider on the left hand side allowing you to change the size of the on-map icons
AlphaMap key symbols are not affected by this re-sizing, but are now slightly larger by default.



- NEW BETA TEST LEVEL FEATURE
Can now Zoom in on WorldMap areas using the normal <Alt>-Click method - basically this means you can zoom even further on world map zones and see individual "discoverable areas" as a single enlarged area of the map - at the moment, I'm afraid no map icons will be displayed on 'zoomed' map areas.
Sometimes this feature is useful for quickly seeing part of the map more clearly, sometimes not so useful ;)
Let me know what you think.



- BATTLEGROUND CHANGE
BattleGround Tooltips will now show the Amount of time until a Graveyard or Objective is Captured by a Faction.
Only Roughly accurate to within a couple of seconds, and only calculated when you mouse over the objective to keep performance impact to a minimum, but a good guide-line none the less.

- fix to make sure automatically opened AlphaMap BG maps show player icons correctly when moving from one BG to another

- updated the Eye of the Storm BG map to include secondary icons for the Capture objectives, as they are often obscured by player icons



- IMPORTANT BUG FIX FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT USE AlphaMap Battleground Maps as Default Maps in BG
Thank you to dw420 for their error reports



OTHER IMPORTANT CHANGES
- New Maps for :
Serpentshrine Cavern
Cavern of Time : Old Hillsbrad Foothills
Cavern of Time : Battle for Mount Hyjal
Cavern of Time : Black Morass
Karazahn
Lord Kazzak map updated to Outland Doom Lord Kazzak map
Zul'Aman
( Some created myself, some thanks again to Daveish :)

- Updated for latest Gatherer Beta

- Added support for Gatherer's control of Icon Sizes

- Added secondary BG Objecive Icons to the Eye of the Storm BG map, as status often obscured by Player Icons



- if AlphaMap on-map Instance note tooltips have been disabled, then neither will the note be highlighted when you mouse over it

- Miscallaneous data corrections, and updates, including localisation corrections and Atlas Loot IDs

- Thottbott compatibility update

Changes in v2.80.20003 from v2.70.20003
---------------------------------------

- updated the Eye of the Storm Battleground coordinate system to display Players correctly now :)

- added the following Maps courtesy of Daveish <- He's like Niflheim on speed ;)
Auchindoun: Auchenai Crypts
Auchindoun: Shadow Labyrinth
Auchindoun: Sethekk Halls
Auchindoun: Mana-Tombs
Tempest Keep: The Arcatraz
Tempest Keep: The Botanica
Tempest Keep: The Mechanar

- added support for the latest Gatherer Beta
NOTE: everything should work fine during normal play, but if viewing other World Map Zones other than the one where your character is located while using Gatherer, you may suffer from a performance impact and find Drop down boxes impossible to use. The AlphaMap Pause button can be used to solve these issues for the time being.
However, if you have used any AddOn that alters the original Blizzard WorldMap, such as the Miscallaneous AlphaMap Option, then you may also notice these problems when trying to use the original Blizzard WorldMap to view other zones, in which case the AlphaMap pause button will not help as it is linked to the Gatherer Minimap processing. I will investigate to see if this is solvable from within AlphaMap if the problem still exists when Gatherer reaches a Gamma release, as I believe that Gatherer's Astrolabe library is still being tweaked.

- AlphaMap will now highlight Named Bosses on Instance maps if you Target them

- when Named bosses in Instances are killed, AlphaMap will now flag them with a GraveYard symbol
If the Instance is a normal Party Instance, then the bosses will reset automatically when you leave the Party-Instance.
If the Instance is a Raid Instance, you will have to use the new Reset button.
If you don't receive the system message when a Named Mob dies, then your AlphaMap may still be updated by one of two automatic methods :
1.) targetting the corpse of the Named Mob will update its status on the AlphaMap Instance map
2.) other users of AlphaMap in the same Raid will send notification messages to you to update your Instance details
Failing that, you can use the new "Dead" option on the note Right-Click Menu to toggle the status of that boss.
NOTE: you can't note a boss as Dead unless you are inside an instance, but you are allowed to toggle the status back to life whether in an Instance or not

- corrected the Hellfire Ramparts map, and updated the notes. ty Pleegwat :)

- updated some more AtlasLoot Enhanced Loot IDs

- removed the AlphaMap Options frame link to AtlasLoot as no longer required

- fixed the problem where the AlphaMap Coordinates couldn't be moved by holding down the Control key

WORTH SAYING TWICE !!!!!

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN FUNCTIONALITY

- the Lock Map Option has been removed. Simply hold the <Control> and <Alt> keys down at the same time, and the movement bars at the top and bottom of the Map will become visible for you to move the map. Different maps will still store there positions separately.

- when scaling the AlphaMap, it will now be re-anchored to the center of the screen; This should stop the AlphaMap disappearing off the screen when you scale it requiring you to re-position it several times potentially. Now just scale it in the center of the screen, and use the new <Control><Alt>-Drag method of movement.

Anyone who doesn't have MozzFullWorldMap (Fan's Update) installed, will probably have noticed the bug in AlphaMap v2.63.20000.

Sorry about that ;)

v2.64.20000 should fix it....or download MozzFullWorldMap (Fan's Update), and live in blissfull ignorance like me :)

AtlasLoot v1.18

AlphaMap v2.12.11100 is not fully compatible with AtlasLoot v1.18, as you may have noticed if you have tried to look at any of the Class Sets ;)

However, I've been working on v2.25.11100 for a week or so now, and have been testing with AtlasLoot v1.18 Beta, so the next release of AlphaMap will be fully compatible again when released tomorrow ;)

Thanks again to AtlasLoot's author, Daveish, for help with making AtlasLoot's new features compatible with other AddOns :)

v2.12.11100

Should fix the issue where AlphaMap was opening when the player logged in ( and/or changed zones).

Telic

August 9, 2006 - 9:55 am [ Reply ]

k, sorry folks, there does seem to be a problem where the AlphaMap will display when you log in or change zones, if you have attached the Map Selector Drop Down boxes to the AlphaMap. I will be fixing this issue in the next release - I may even publish a quick fix version very soon and put the other new functionality and localistaion changes on hold for a few more days.

For now, the only thing you can do is show the Map Selector Drop Down boxes in a different location. e.g. leave them docked to the options frame, or leave them on screen all the time (they can be moved where ever you like by 'unlocking' the padlock and moving via the frame's border.

Sorry. So many options, I guess I missed this one in testing ;'(

Localisation

I'm willing to put in extra work to localise this AddOn if people are willing to send me translations, and help me by giving detailed descriptions of problems they have on different clients/servers :)

There is always a trade off between how simple you make an AddOn in order to make it compatible with lots of Clients and easy to localise, and between how complex it is in order to offer lots of features and make it highly configurable.... Obviously I have chosen to try and make my AddOns feature rich with lots of options, but if anyone is willing to put the effort in and work with me on localised versions then I'm ready and able :)

Sorry, there were a couple of silly errors in v1.50 release, hence the quick release of v1.51

There may also be an compatibility issue with PartySpotter which I am already investigating.

Thanks

I still found some issues with the Slider not staying attached to the AlphaMap after a reset, and v1.03 should fix that. Also, I have centered the map to make life easier for people who use a Titan top panel.

Finally, I have completely removed the legacy code for saving game variables.
It is likely that users of older versions of AlphaMap will still have some old Saved Variables data which may be causing some conflicts, and I would advise that they take the following actions :

Edit the SavedVariables.lua file in the WoW\WTF\Account\<Account Name> directory on their hard drive, and delete the AlphaMapConfig settings. e.g.

Before :

SHOW_FULLSCREEN_STATUS = "1"
SIMPLE_CHAT = "0"
CHAT_LOCKED = "0"
REMOVE_CHAT_DELAY = "0"
SHOW_NEWBIE_TIPS = "1"
LOCK_ACTIONBAR = "1"
SHOW_BUFF_DURATIONS = "1"
ALWAYS_SHOW_MULTIBARS = "0"
SHOW_PARTY_PETS = "1"
QUEST_FADING_DISABLE = "1"
SHOW_PARTY_BACKGROUND = "0"
HIDE_PARTY_INTERFACE = "0"
PARTYBACKGROUND_OPACITY = 0.5
SHOW_OFFLINE_GUILD_MEMBERS = 1
SHOW_DISPELLABLE_DEBUFFS = "0"
SHOW_CASTABLE_BUFFS = "0"
AlphaMapConfig = {
["combat"] = true,
["scale"] = 0.8,
["mapnotes"] = false,
["lock"] = false,
["mntips"] = false,
["raid"] = true,
["wmclose"] = true,
["enabled"] = true,
["mngtips"] = false,
["sliderlock"] = true,
["alpha"] = 0.5,
["gatherer"] = false,
["ptips"] = true,
["gtips"] = false,
["gathering"] = false,
["slider"] = true,
}?


After Deletion :

SHOW_FULLSCREEN_STATUS = "1"
SIMPLE_CHAT = "0"
CHAT_LOCKED = "0"
REMOVE_CHAT_DELAY = "0"
SHOW_NEWBIE_TIPS = "1"
LOCK_ACTIONBAR = "1"
SHOW_BUFF_DURATIONS = "1"
ALWAYS_SHOW_MULTIBARS = "0"
SHOW_PARTY_PETS = "1"
QUEST_FADING_DISABLE = "1"
SHOW_PARTY_BACKGROUND = "0"
HIDE_PARTY_INTERFACE = "0"
PARTYBACKGROUND_OPACITY = 0.5
SHOW_OFFLINE_GUILD_MEMBERS = 1
SHOW_DISPELLABLE_DEBUFFS = "0"
SHOW_CASTABLE_BUFFS = "0"?
