A tiny companion addon for GatherMate2 that lets you hide its proximity "tracking circle" on a per node type basis.
I'm a casual WoW player and enjoyer. I grew up on TBC and Wrath, and after that the game kind of died off for me. Recently I jumped back in with TBC Anniversary, just playing for funsies.
I installed GatherMate2 to make professions like mining and herbalism easier, but I was quickly put off by the "circle" icon that replaced the ore icon while mining. I loved the little ore icon on the minimap, and I love that there's a feature for it to fade as you get closer. The problem was that the icon got swapped out for a colored circle (the color is different per profession), which actually made it harder to spot the standard yellow ore blip and tell whether there was something to mine.
Digging into it, I found there was no built-in way to turn that circle off, which kind of blew my mind. So I made this: a companion addon for GatherMate2 that lets you choose, in the options, exactly which circles to remove.
- Keeps the normal GatherMate2 map icon while the node is still at range.
- Once GatherMate2 would swap that icon for the tracking circle, the pin hides instead, so the in-game minimap node shows in its place. No circle.
- Works per node type: Herb Gathering, Mining, Fishing, Treasure (plus Gas and Archaeology on clients that have them).
- Nothing is hidden until you choose. Tick the node types you want in the options.
Open the options with /nocircle (or /gm2nc), or go to Esc > Options > AddOns > GatherMate2 No Circle, and tick the node types whose circle you want hidden. Changes apply immediately, no reload needed.
It wraps GatherMate2's minimap pin function at login and hides any suppressed-type pin the moment GatherMate flags it as a circle. Because it's a standalone addon, GatherMate2 updates never overwrite it, and GatherMate2's own files are left untouched. It bundles no libraries of its own; it reuses the Ace3 libraries GatherMate2 already loads.
