Montis' MiniMap Misclick Manager v1.6.4 (2012-01-24)

[Montis]

What it does
This small mod adds a non-clickable area on the top and the right border of the minimap, thus avoiding misclicks and when playing on Legion side and spamming right click to get to safety. The non-clickable area is marked by a toggleable overlay to serve as visible aid. You can resize it and change the color and opacity through an options panel.
Also, there's an option to "reroute" your misclicks onto the game layer so they become actual clicks.
Misclicks are tracked in a counter.

Last I checked, that border isn't the same in the other two maps of the game. This might cause some problems with those.

whoops, didn't think of that, good of you pointing that out... I'll check on that

okay I tried and the only map where it really could restrict you is when you're playing hellbourne on watchtower (TPing back to fountain could be a bit tricky there), so I don't think I'll bother myself for changing this whole thing just because of that

yeah I mean ingame :P

[Neko_Pumpkin]

nice Mod, thx 4 that :D

[Montis]

so I tinkered the freaking whole day and all I got was a toggleable version. :)

it's got one bug though: I couldn't get the damn overlay to load at the same state in which it's left, so I defaulted it to the first setting (on, with red visible aid). if someone could help me with this, I would be very thankful.

downloadlink in the first post (only HoNMod for now).

[Montis]

can't anyone help me with this? I just need to restore the visibility state of the panels based on a variable... I tried like 6 hours and got nothing that worked :(

[MaxGhost]

SetSave(var, value);

Should work... then you just pull the value of that var when the game loads.

[Montis]

yeah I have that but how can I use this?
<panel visible="var" /> didn't work for me or maybe I was doing it wrong?

[Darkager]

<panel visible="1/0" />

or

<panel visible="true/false" />

[Montis]

that's exactly what I don't want but already have.
I need to restore the visibility state of the panels on load based on a variable

[Darkager]

instead of the hard value, use the variable.

The difference between what I posted and what you posted is:

You posted the attribute "visibility"
Whereas, I posted "visible"

-- two hugely different results, as yours won't work.

Pay attention!! Modding takes excruciating attention to detail, especially debugging...

In turn:
<panel visible="var" />

[Montis]

yeah, my bad - I know that and I wrote "visible" in the code, but still:

<panel visible="var" />doesn't work for me :(

attached you can find my work in progress version and tell me what I do wrong...
my code is marked with <!-- MMMMM --> and <!-- /MMMMM -->

[MaxGhost]

No, you need to use visible="true" or visible="false".

[Montis]

so I basically can't save the visible state? :(

[MaxGhost]

so I basically can't save the visible state? :(

Use a custom trigger to save it. I suggest you take a look at Barter's UI and how he saves the minimap being visible or invisible.

[Darkager]

I could have swore you could save visible as a var if it's a BOOL var.... not a string with the value of "1"

[Montis]

yay, I finally got it! although it's a bit of a messy workaround-- but what can you do :P
kudos for the solution go to Barter (and to MaxGhost for the hint I guess) ;)

Barter made an init-panel which watches the gametime and based on that triggered further events, making stuff (in)visible etc.

aaaand: v1.1 uploaded to first post :)

[Montis]

updated .s2z File for HoN 0.1.61

[Darkager]

Oh, and to correct myself... Using the variable to specify panel visibility is only for it's initial state. The triggers are used to show/hide it afterward.

[Montis]

yes I just needed it for it's initial state (everything else can be easily done by trigger) but that still didn't work with the variable :/ but whatever it works now :)

[Virsoul]

I like this mod, but can you add an extra toggle for on, but invisible. The red is rather distracting and the sexy ladies don't help much either. Thanks for the work put in! =]

[Montis]

you're lucky I have so much time on my hands right now... uploaded v1.2 to first post :-)

I tested it thoroughly but if you find any issues, plz tell me about them or PM me

[Virsoul]

Works great! Thank you so much for adding transparency options.

[OmegaTwiddl1]

Sweet mod dude.

[Darkager]

Good job with adding the color/alpha settings/sliders. Nice touch.

[Montis]

thanks guys, it's always nice to be appreciated :)

updated .s2z in first post to v0.1.62

[Montis]

sorry, but I won't make this compatible with TinyUI and MiniUI for the time being

[connta]

is it only me or the download aint working?

EDIT: its mediafire issue. any chance of rapidshare mirror poping up?

and also this mod aint in the repository (like some others i encountered), why is that? is there some place where there are all mods listed?

EDIT: ok i downloaded the mod and its awesome except the blacksmith thingy, can we have an option to disable it... its cool first few toggles but it gets really annoying on the 100th...

[Montis]

I'll get on that tonight.

[connta]

ausgezeichnet. danke!

also is there a way only to disable right click on the minimap, right now it disables both click and there is no point in disabling the left click since no one missclick that. and it would be cool if i could left click the minimap to take me to view the position i clicked and then right click on the ground if i wanna move there. this way no right missclick will happen but the minimap doesnt loose all of its usability.

[Montis]

Huh that could be quite hard to implement but I might have an idea that works.
Well - I just wanted to upload 1.4 but I think I'll check on that first ;)

and: danke ebenso :-)

[Montis]

sorry I actually had two good ideas but both didn't work.

first idea was to relay only the left click on the overlay to the minimap, doesn't work.
second was to let you click through the overlay but check with the mouse if you're over the overlay or not - but as soon as you make the overlay "through click able" (sorry, I don't have a better name for this), the mouse over stuff doesn't work either :(
if anyone has an idea on how this could work: message me

so: release of v1.4, sadly without this feature

[connta]

so basically u cant make overlay selectively clickable...

MaxGhost (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?u=40014) has similar mod like yours and his is selectively clickable but does not use overlay it blocks the map completely for right clicks and left still work... ur addon seemed bit more advanced but if its not possible to do this with an overlay then im afraid its a win-lose situation.

[Montis]

well I used MaxGhosts Mod as a reference (I even used it actively before I made this mod) but it works different. it just checks if the mod is turned on (with the button) and if that's the case it circumvents the rightclick action on the whole minimap per If-command.
that's basically what I had in mind for my second idea, but I couldn't combine it with the overlays I created

[Delfofthebla]

sorry, but I won't make this compatible with TinyUI and MiniUI for the time being

What's the reason? Too lazy or..? :P

No but seriously, I like the mod but don't use it due to the incompatibility with MiniUI.

EDIT: A workaround for those who want to use both, if you install barter UI and just place the map that comes with the mod over MiniUI's map, you can size it to the default size and it "should" work. I haven't tested it yet though, probably going to later.

EDIT2: Nope, the barterui map overlaps it. Need a compatibility patch! :(

yes, too lazy. the problem is, that each of these mods alter the code, on which this mod is based on, so basically I would need to make a compatible version for each and one of those. and that's just too much work for me as I don't use them, sorry. If I've got REALLY too much time someday, I'll might think about it, but I don't think that's anytime soon.
also with the resizing capabilities from those mods this mod has to be recoded quite a bit, and that's just another reason not to do it.

[nyx_]

i found a way to make it work with mini ui, although my mini ui is a bit edited(added my own portrait) if you have the minimap ping fixed on yours it should be compatible.
mini ui and misclick (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showpost.php?p=798385&postcount=750)

just rename the minimapmisclickmanager.honmod to have a different 1st letter to have it appear after mini ui aplhabetically (mine is renamed ominimapmisclickmanager.honmod)

after doing so, the manager has to be updated of the new order, open the manager and press f5, it should refresh and misclick will appear after mini ui. re-apply and there should be no incompatability (it worked on mine so no doubt it will work on yours)

the most important part is that the icon of misclick comes after mini ui on the manager, and do not forget to refresh the manager. (mods are listed alphabetically according to the honmod file, and is arranged from left to right)

[Montis]

you should add a line in the modified mod XML reading:
<requirement name="MiniUI" version="*" />

then the ModMan will execute MiniUI first and only use my mod if MiniUI is active.


nevermind, I did that myself and uploaded it to the first post. this one should work with the standard version of MiniUI with no renaming etc.
BUT: this has not been tested by me and because of the nature of MiniUI and my mod it could easily result in my mod not working as intended (overlay wrong size or something like that)

[OoGa`ChaKa]

Could you make it compatible with this - http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=30871&highlight=Smaller+minimap

It doesnt show any errors persay but a version Sized for this mini map would be nice. But since that mod got very little input im sure i might be one of the few that actually use.

If you feel youd be making it only for me then never mind but it would be nice to use your mod w with the smaller minimap.

[Montis]

Probably not in the next time. If I ever do this, I'll let you know though.

[RiserEmilioX]

...I dunno, putting a blacksmith there might be nice.
Want to go here?
TO BAD,ITS ME :blac: BLACKSMITH

[AhilE]

how the hell do i install this ??? there are 3 files in there what do i download and how do i install ?

this is my first addon and i rly have no idea.

thank you in advance

[Montis]

If you plan on having other addons you should use the HoN Mod Manager (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=25883), description for installing that in the linked thread. Then you should download the .honmod Version 1.4 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/f3zuyvwenwy/minimapmisclickmanager.honmod) and use that file with the HoN Mod Manager.
If you don't care about other addons, you can download the .s2z Version (see first post) and just put it in the Heroes of Newerth\game folder

[Zaraki]

There is an incompatibility between this and BardUI since the new version of BardUI came out. Prolly stems from both editing stuff with the minimap. I haven't confirmed this yet, but I'm pretty sure that's right. Just wanted to point this out.

[Montis]

I already fixed that today, just download the newest version (1.4b)

Okay so if you mini map is resized with tiny ui the overlay does not shrink and grow with it... buuuut you can adjust the high and width making it touch the edges again.

In general I would suggest adding a 45 degree angle corner/triangle in the top right since that is the most important part and most common miss-clicked.

[Montis]

have fun making a triangle shaped panel ^^
also, I added the tinyUI download to the first post

[Montis]

Update to v1.5.
As usual, changelog and downloads in first post, report any bugs here or by PM.

[Thysios]

how hard is it to not click the minimap lol..

[`Grimmjow`]

Is it possible to have it so you can't right click those spots only, but still left click them? That'd make this mod 100x more useful for me.

[haschisch]

please pm bard about this so it gets implented into the custom minimap in bardui.

[Montis]

if you can tell me the command to relay a click onto the minimap, no problem :-)
as I haven't found anything like that until now: no, sorry.

[`Grimmjow`]

I believe MaxGhost had a Mod which allowed you to be unable to right click your minimap, but you could left click it freely, allowing you to scroll around. Perhaps he'd know?

[Montis]

that has been discussed before, read the last page(s)

[Kilbim]

make it working with bard minimap?

[Montis]

probably not in the next time.

updated .s2z version for recent patch (0.1.66.1), download in first post.

[Kilbim]

can u make it working with mini UI?

[Montis]

I don't really care about MiniUI or TinyUI for the moment, so ... no. Also there is a semi compatibility for MiniUI, although I didn't check how it looks ingame.


On an entirely unrelated note:
- Added v1.6 to first post and auto updating which adds a counter for the misclicks.

[Kilbim]

I think you should totally care about mini UI ;)
I think it's gonna be THE ui customization-thing, since it's so customizable...

btw I will try if it works with mini UI and let u know.

ah, btw, gj ;)

[Kilbim]

ok it's not working: could not find string starting with <map etc...

[Kilbim]

now it's working.
and it looks how it should.

gj ;)

[Lim_Dul]

Is it possible to only disable right-clicks in the overlay area and not left clicks? Perhaps as an option?

Actually let me rephrase it: I know it's possible to do it since MaxGhost's original MOD did just that - disable right clicks on the map but leave left clicks as they were. So, could something like that be implemented? There's not much reason to not let people left click. :-P

[Sucker`]

^---- good idea, and besides i have a question. is it possible to use your mod with a larger minimap of mini ui? the last time i tested it, it didnt work, i think there are many ppl out there who would appriciate this feature.

so far gj

[Montis]

please read the thread, this has all already been discussed.

[Lim_Dul]

Yeah, I know - but it was a while ago and I thought something in the UI, the scripting interface or your MOD might have changed, especially since you are i.e. able to redirect right clicks to the game layer now... I assumed you could be able to redirect left clicks to the layer the minimap is on but if that's impossible then I guess not.

[Montis]

if you tell me the function for it, I could do it. but since I haven't found it myself yet, I'm assuming there just isn't one. and I'm not really (nor ever will be) in the mood to search another 3 hours for nothing

[Lim_Dul]

if you tell me the function for it, I could do it. but since I haven't found it myself yet, I'm assuming there just isn't one. and I'm not really (nor ever will be) in the mood to search another 3 hours for nothing
OK, I checked the code and I saw that the redirection of clicks is achieved with the CommanderPrimary and CommanderSecondary commands, correct?

How are you achieving the non-clickability of your border overlay? I don't wanna dig too deeply into somebody else's code since it confuses me. :-P

Is this a natural "function" of there being an overlay on a higher level than the minimap or do you set something as being unclickable? I guess I'll have to search if there is a way to make something not react to right clicks only.

P.S. I checked the minimap Right-Click toggle by MaxGhost and like you wrote in this thread he simply disabled tight clicks on the whole minimap using the MinimapRightClick function. Sooo, there is no function for handling left/rightclicks on any other custom interface elements like your overlay?

[Montis]

it's actually just if you have an UI element (e.g. a panel) on top of another element (the minimap in this case), you can not click through the element without setting noclick to true. the noclick attibute basically disables all tracking of clicks and hovers on the respective element and just uses the next element layer for that matter.

actually writing this I got an idea now how to solve this, which may or may not work, going to test that, brb.

edit: damn, didn't work.

[Rapid]

THANK you
I was like WTF
why i always run back when i run.........

I hope it fix it or w/e it should do rofl :D

[nice02]

Could you perhaps change the minimap location from left side of the interface to right?

[nyx_]

the only mod i can think of that can do that is mini ui. if you like the default, the xml can be edited so that only the minimap.package/moveframes.package(+a couple more since it also changes the game window height) get copied over and you get the default ui+movable mimimap.

its 3:17am right now(here; gmt +8) and im not motivated to do this for you, so either you figure it out or get someone elst to do it for you

[Montis]

updated for 0.3xx although not yet "compatible" with a swapped minimap

or better: do you have any other addons which alter the minimap?

It would be awesome if you could add the option to let us use a hotkey to disable the 'Reroute Panel' option, so I can set it up so the Mini-map doesn't do anything unless I hold Ctrl and Right Click.
