Description
Turn your minimap into a hud for farming ore / herb.
Minimap / Nodes / FarmHud
Blizzard has designed the Minimap element as All-in-One (Terrain texture + Nodes).
It could not be separated. It could not be copied. Minimap and FarmHud can't be displayed at the same time.
(It's like the Highlander: There can only be one.)

● Gather circle ( color / transparency adjustable )

Problems and possible workarounds
[1] Use of anonymous frames makes correct functioning more difficult. Possible workaround: Disable "Show elements" in FarmHud Options.
@Authors of Minimap and UI AddOns
I've added a function to register (anonymous) frames that anchored on Minimap.
Please use it to make smooth cooperation between our AddOns possible.
FarmHud:RegisterForeignAddOnObject( <frame object>, <addon name> )

Please fix the addon, lately for some reason the HUD ignores the setting for mouse input and blocks mouse clicks anyway randomly
usually its ok, then rarely i am in a panic to turn it off because i cant click anything in the middle of fighting 20 mobs
Something is causing this setting to not remain off
i have keybind for farmhuds tooltips and i did turn it off, so thats not the problem
thx
found reason for this - when alt tabbing between multiple WoW windows, farmhud for some reason prevents mouse clicks until you re-enable the HUD
happens about 60% of the time, in my case i have 5 wow windows open
please have a look at this, as ive never had this issue for years up until recently
For some time now, i have not been able to PING the farmhud, i used to be able to do that, when i were out pvp in the open world, but i cannot do that anymore, so i every time either have to just use the normal minimap, or when i see a player, toggle Farmhud off, then ping the minimap.
Did Blizzard change anything, or did you remove that feature some how?
Farmhud was working earlier today just fine. Out of nowhere, there was some lua error so I went to make sure there wasn't any updates needed. Curseforge said it may be corrupt and wanted me to reinstall. Reinstalled, and now my map is showing up on the actual HUD, like the entire minimap, not just the lines from the Routes addon. How can i fix it?
Update: Had to make the background transparency to 100%. Havent ever had to do that before now.
Is it possible to lock map rotation? Thanks in advance :)
Edit never mind! It was just the cardinals spinning confusing me. My bad
Farmhud and my minmap are showing at the same time.
Toggling farmhud's display on, then off, removes all the gathermate2 data (spawn icons etc) from the actual minimap (no minimap mod installed)
A reloadui fixes it, but if you toggle farmhud again its gone again, any ideas?
Cheers
At the moment if i have Sexymap enabled, i cant hide the Farmhud background. Hope will be fixed soon. Thank you for the addon, its amazing
Wauw. It's amazing. I've looked for this in 10 years. lol. thank you so much.
Is tehre a way I can add more Range circles. so now you ahve a heal circle, but It could be nice if I also could get a out of range for attack circle. or perhaps, show a circle for distance to death grip or distance to blink. etc.
thank you for your work
wondered if you could help me please
tried this with both gath2 and routes
those being the only addons running and i don't see a mini map icon or anything in interface>addons
thanks
In reply to Snollzworth:
FYI i fixed the issue by installing last version 8.6.2 i think it was
In reply to Snollzworth:
It isn't showing up for me either. So are you saying that you reverted back to 8.6.2 overwriting current 8.7 version?
In reply to Snollzworth:
Sorry. 8.7.3 should fix it. ;-)
In reply to hizuro_de:
@hizuro_de thx
This appears to often make the mouse clicks on the screen to not let the user click on actual items in game.
It appears the strata of the addon under some conditions takes precedence even on mouse clicks.
Does anyone know what conditions cause this (I can't reproduce it reliably and it's a bit rare).
In reply to Curnivore:
it's not a frame strata problem. It's a problem with the mouse enabled state.
The poor reproducibility is the main reason I haven't been able to solve it yet.
I can only recommend keybind "Toggle FarmHud's tooltips (Can't click through Hud)"
or "Mouse over on hold modifier key" option. Short toggling on/off and it is fixed.
And by the way, it is not necessary to write a comment and a issue report for the same problem. i see both. :-)
In reply to hizuro_de:
I've found a way to reliably reproduce this problem. When going into Torghast with FarmHud enabled, I am unable to click the anima orbs. Toggling it off fixes the problem. It's not really problematic since FarmHud isn't very useful in there, but might help in solving the problem if it's happening elsewhere, since it seems to happen every time in Torghast.
I posted a fix at the issue tracker.
Not sure why, my farmhud suddenly its being offset like this, wasn't happening earlier today (same version as atm, 8.6.1 release)
Im using gathermate2, routes, tsm, lootapraiser and ofc farmhud if that helps, tried turning them off but still happens, closing game still doesnt affect it.
In reply to Nacedos:
Sorry. It could be a result of my try to prevent a rare and mysterious lua error.
"Action[SetPoint] failed because[SetPoint would result in anchor family connection]: attempted from: Minimap:SetPoint."
Next update i will add both ways with error catching mechanism.
Currently i invegate another problem.
In reply to Nacedos:
If you're using curseforge, revert to older version.
