I'm on a Mac.  I clicked the link you provided and it gave me a fatal error.  I'm using Firefox as well.

So I bought this wonderful thing for $25 today, but it breaks my NGUI (latest version before 3.0) everytime I import, and delete the NGUI folder that comes within the add-on itself.

a UIBasePanel error keeps going off, something about namespace. Have to re-install NGUI 2.7 every single time I've tried to import.

Using a PC, Unity Pro 4.1.5f

So I solved it myself, having a hangover makes me slow and illogical, ugh.

Anyways if anyone encounters this it's a simple fix. Import the add-on, delete the nGUI folder in the add-ons folder... and then just re-import your nGUI version, volah.

Glad you got it working properly, that was actually pointed out on the ReadMe file .. I removed that annoying NGUI free version from the package for the next version which will be released soon next week.

Ok, just getting started with this BUT am getting some complaints when trying to use the latest NGUI (seems fine with 2.7)

- import the Minimap asset, delete NGUI folder from it's directory - re-import NGUI 3 and these 2 errors pop up :

Assets/NinjutsuGames/NJG MiniMap/NGUI Version/Scripts/Interaction/UICustomTooltip.cs(21,16): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `UISlicedSprite' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Assets/NinjutsuGames/NJG MiniMap/NGUI Version/Scripts/UI/UIMiniMap.cs(34,16): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `UISlicedSprite' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Any ideas why this is happening?? PLEASE

Hi, the problem here is that NJG Minimap is still not compatible with NGUI 3.x, the new version which support it is coming soon this week.

[Nige777]

Great, thanks for the quick reply - I'll just use previous NGUI until then

Hi, me again

Having an issue with the background (map) position not updating when the player object is moving in the NGUI examples (work in OnGUI examples). Weirdly though, the player icon moves left and right in the minimap (except in the side scrolling example) from the centre to beyond the left extents of the map (rotates as well but thats what I'd expect) ?? 

Any ideas what is going on?

Hey, forgot to mention are you using NGUI 2.7 right?.. unfortunately there was a change on how material gets updated for UITexture, this its fixed on the upcoming version... you can use NGUI 2.6.x in the meantime.

Add me to your skype so I can send you the new version as soon as its done.

What glitch?

What glitch?

My bad, I guess I chose the wrong words, maybe this sounds better?  "Maps are now rendered on Quad's instead of UITextures due to a glitch with its material matrix."
