First alpha. Expect rough edges — please open an issue with anything odd you see (a screenshot helps a lot).

Install

Download MagicMap-v0.1.0-alpha.zip below and unzip it into World of Warcraft/<flavor>/Interface/AddOns/, so you have Interface/AddOns/MagicMap/MagicMap.toc. For WoW Forever the flavor folder is _classic_beta_. Then restart the game or /reload. Open it with /mm or the minimap button.

What's in it

  • The map — every continent and instance drawn from the game's own minimap terrain, with smooth zooming, zone and sub-zone borders and names, quest areas, and the landmarks you've visited.
  • Minimap mode (spyglass button) — MagicMap takes your minimap's spot and zooms out far past it, with Blizzard's blips and other addons' pins (GatherMate, HandyNotes) on its terrain.
  • World map takeover — in minimap mode, M grows it into a big map and back.
  • Follow a quest — click a quest to track it and make it your target.
  • Path mode — keeps you and your target (followed quest or waypoint) in view, with a faint line between you.

Known limits

  • Built and tested mainly on WoW Forever; other clients are less tested.
  • Minimap blips only reach as far as the game's own minimap can see (~230 yards).
  • Rotate Minimap isn't supported in minimap mode (it hands the minimap back).
