    Some questions

    First time posting love the addon but was wondering about a few things.

    1) When I'm running around and I'm looking at the larger map and get attacked and try and drop the map back down to the minimap it stays in the middle of screen where the larger map is and if I click the map to bring up the larger map again it's right there as well in the middle. And then I can't really move the map around till after I leave combat is there anyway to stop this from happening?

     2) Is there anyway I can get nodes to show up on the carbo minimap without using the default minimap? I basically have to have the default minimap docked and the transparency all the way down to see the carbo minimap and the node at the same time. Which I don't mind doing except I then have two cursors showing on the minimap that's invis and the carbo minimap. Not sure if I'm explaining this in an intelligent way so if you don't know what I'm talking about please ask and I'll try and explain better.

     Thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for anyhelp. I love this addon and keep up the great work.

    The nodes require the default minimap. Does the overlay of the WoW minimap on the Carbonite minimap not work for you?

    And I'm not sure about the first question...

    Yeah I use the overlay I was just wondering if there was some setting that I was missing somewhere that would let me not have to use it and use the carbonite minimap instead. Thanks :-)

     No problem. And welcome to the forums. Your first question should get a response from one of the devs eventually.

    Thanks for the welcome. :-) And I'm in no hurry I've just learned to avoid looking at the full map when I could get into combat.

    That should not happen. I just walked into 2 mobs with the Carb map maximized and I could press M or Esc to make it normal sized again. I could hit M multiple times to make it large and small. Being in combat should not make a difference. I also dragged it around and sized it. Checked the "Hide In Combat" in the window title menu. All working fine. You could try disabling all other addons to see if there is some addon conflict.

    Tracking locations are drawn internally by the game into the minimap frame. There is no way for an addon to get the locations to draw them itself.

    Right click a non icon area of map and select "Transparency...". There is a "Gather Icon Transparency" slider that defaults to 60%. You can decrease that to see more easily through the Carb gather icons to the minimap tracking dots underneath. You can also hold the control key to make the non docked minimap draw above the Carb map icons.

    Don't know what you mean by 2 cursors. You should just see your location arrow at the center of the blizzard minimap frame it the frame is not docked in a corner.

    Re: Some questions

    I'm not sure why it does that in combat but now that I know it's not suppose to be doing that it probably is an addon I use alot of addons. :-( I'm an addict. I'll live with it though rather then disabling my other addons to track it down. Knowing my luck it will be one I really really like.

     

    By two cursors I mean that I have two cursors representing where I am on the minimap. One for the default minimap and then one for the carbonite minimap. I have the minimap on the bottom left of my carbonite minimap.

    Another person reported that, but I have no idea what was causing it. If you find an addon conflict, please let me know.

    Thx

    Re: Some questions

     I've seen the two cursor-syndrome when I have messed with the options pertaining to the transparency of the default minimap and when it toggles full size. Once the minimap toggles full size, it just shows a transparent box with default minimap cursor and the Carbonite cursor which don't sync up together. I fixed it by either turning the transparency all the way up (so its not transparent) or having the minimap only toggle full size when in instances. Not sure if this is the same problem... but I blame the problems with the transparency of the WoW minimap.
