Default (Plugin) ShrinkMap Support Thread

ShrinkMap 1.1 Plugin



Download Page

-Description:
Adds a button to the right of the minimize button..
It will shrink the eq2map window to about 1/4 the default size when pressed.

To change what part of the map your looking at: move the mouse cursor to
the upper right corner of the map and a button control will appear..

-To Install:
Before loading EQ2..
Copy contents of zip (2 folders) to an existing ui folder where eq2map is installed (overwrite all).
note: this plugin uses slot 1

-To Uninstall:
Delete plugin1.xml, shrinkmap_core.xml, shrinkmap_shrinkbutton.xml, shrinkmap_window, and shrinkmap_title from the eq2map folder.
Delete minimap_widgets.dds from images folder.
Then copy plugin1.xml from the eq2Map zip or run the autoupdater.

-Known Issue:
The Location arrow will not disappear until the image rect is 100% oustide window..
Nothing I can do about it sorry..

Currently there are a couple bugs in the eq2map default skin that causes a couple, non-game breaking, oddities with the shrinkmap plugin. I have informed Dolby of the bugs and gave him a fixed version of the file. He will need to push it to the updater.

Unfortunately it's a skin file (skinable_windowelements.xml) and skin files aren't downloaded by the updater unless they are missing. So in order to get it, when it is available through the updater, you will have to manually delete the file.

However, for the time being I'm making the file available here. Just download and put in the eq2map folder.
Attached Files
File Type: xml skinnable_WindowElements.xml (16.3 KB, 658 views)

Thanks mate! I like to use the mini ShrinkMap but find it doesn't work at times in instances and other non-mapped areas (of course) but what happens is it messes up the entire mini-map until you re-enlarge and then back to shrink..

Will give it a shot and as always, thanks a ton!

Yea i see the window resize bug too, no biggie really tho. One other thing I would liek to see.. if you and the person that did the eq2spoiler and can get a way to auto locate the spoiler button in th eupper left area when the map is reduced. When I shrink it, the button ends up in the map area and covers poi's sometimes. When in full view the button is ok. Just when shrinkthe button placement needs to auto update somehow.

Found a typo in the skinnable_WindowElements.xml

line 109, Col 68 noramlsize="484, 643" should be norMAlsize.

BTW.. This FIXES the resizing bug mentioned above in earlier post!! But, I still would like to see the spoiler button auto located

I downloaded it today, & the frame shrinks, but the map & background remain the same size. I've uninstalled & reinstalled it but it still does the same thing.

Also, I don't know whether or not I'm going to update it cause once eq2map gets completely updated it will be easily resizable like the default map. The only reason I ever made this was because the map was not resizeable and now it is, making this plugin kind of obsolete

Honestly something like this basic concept would still be useful even though the default and eq2maps files are resizable now. We don't really need the 4 buttons to reposition the map anymore, but one small button to quickly toggle the map size between default size and the mini map size would be nice. Keep the button that centers the map on your character as well.

Well considering I don't really play eq2 anymore it will be hard to update but I guess I will see what I can do.. I can even make it smaller now, if you like since, I'm will not be limited by the arrow buttons

But I have to wait for the updates to eq2map to be complete before I start
