MetaMap (Fan Update)

Version: 3.0.2b6

by: charroux [More]

This is an unofficial WotLK (3.0.2) fix for MetaMap until an official release comes out.

All the modules seem to be working, but there are a few bugs still left. (There is at least 1 that I know of.) The Waypoint module (WKB) has been modified with a different arrow and text layout, and any <ctrl> click on it will hide the frame.

Note: The Stormwind map change in WotLK makes all the map notes and tracking data (TRK) incorrect for the entire city.

DESCRIPTION:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4788-MetaMap.html
============
MetaMap adds features to the WoW world map, keeping all mapping type features in a single place.
Some features are:

Adjust the map window size.
Move the map anywhere on the screen.
Adjust the opacity of the window & maps.
Saved sets for toggling between 2 map modes.
Allows full player movement, messaging, etc. with map open.
Adds coords to the main map and the Minimap
Adds Instance maps which open to the correct instance you enter.
Default data included for all bosses & locations etc.
User editable notes for all maps, including instance maps.
NPC/Mob database collectable by mouseover or keypress.
Toggling on/off display of unexplored areas of the map.
Boss Loot Tables displays all the loot dropped by bosses, and more.
Waypoint system to guide you to any set point.
Complete Quest logger with optional history database.
Tracker module for gathering Herbs/Ores etc.
NoteBook module for additional notes, linked to Tooltips.
Inbuilt Import and export facilities for various data formats.
Inbuilt Backup and Restore facilities.
Button on Minimap to open or close the World Map or display MetaMap options.
Key bindings for various MetaMap functions.
Full support for Titan Bar.

INSTALLATION:
=============
Extract ALL folders in the archive to the Interface\AddOns\ location. If you wish the Instance maps to be populated with default information, then on first installation you will need to select 'Extended Options' from the MetaMap menu.
Select the 'Database' tab, then click 'Load Imports'. This will enable the default import button, 'Import Instance Notes'. Click on the 'Import' button to import the data.

ISSUES/COMPATIBILITIES:
=======================
Some addons may reset the map to gather location data.
If your map continuously jumps back to your current location when selecting another map,
it will be due to another addon resetting it. In most cases the authors have made changes
to correct this so, download the latest version of any conflicting addon.

302b2 - Fixed a few more bugs: WorldMapButton and TRK menus
302b3 - More fixes, Waypoint (BWP) arrow reverted to original red. To get the sword arrow, copy the \MetaMapBWP\Artwork\Arrows\Sword\ files into it's parent folder (overwrite the files). Also copy MetaMapBWP.xml to the \MetaMap\ folder.
302b4 - More bugs created than squashed.
304b5 - More bugs found and hopefully fixed. Waypoint arrow style is selectable via menu. MiniMap button is dragable. Workaround for changing map locations with battlefied minimap on. Battlefield minimap will show instead if you try to show the world map during combat (instead of showing nothing). Notes shift for new Stormwind map.

302b6 - Northrend mapnotes Import/Export (EXP/CVT) fixed. Pet menu bug fixed. Tracker mouseover bug fixed. Many other fixes. The "Set Focus" and "Target" right-click dropdown menu items are tainted by the MetaMap menu system implementation (i.e. they will cause a "Action Not Allowed" error). I am unable to fix it without some help (it's beyond my LUA/WoW knowledge), sorry.

Agreed I have not noticed any issues with QuestHelper, or with QH interacting with MetaMap.

I don't thinkl you can set waypoints with QH, so not sure what that post was all about.

I have some map points that I set prior to adding MetaMap. I found that I was not able to acess them in order to point TomTom to them. Nor could I add new TomTom waypoints.

I know, I know, I am just too greedy, loving the idea of two sets of pointers telling me where to go!

Thanks for taking a look at this.

Further to my previous note on TomTom capability. Looks like you can only set MetaMap waypoints, TomTom has lost that option.

Prior to installing MetaMap I could choose to add TomTom waypoints, and change the priority on QuestHelper points? to get TomTom to point to its own map points.

I like TomTom, it works well with QuestHelper.
I like most of the options available with MetaMap.

I would like to still be able to set waypoints with TomTom and select them as TomToms crazy arrow waypoint. TomTom I think used alt+mouse button click, not sure if it was right or left mouse button.

Any chance you could take a peek at this?

Back up your saved data if you're not sure you want to do so. I'll add a location conversion script for the tracker (TRK) as well in the next version.

I barely understand what this addon does sometimes. Making it work is one thing, but making it work well and friendly with other addons is another! I too use TomTom and QuestHelper, so I will certainly try to do what I can for those issues. PS. The metaMap waypoint arrow is movable already. Last edited by charroux : 11-04-08 at 03:11 AM.

Gps find corpse is herratic and sometime not showing the installation was a fresh one with deletions also of all saved variables and imports of previously saved notes. If you select show traker on minimap button it will work and the blizzard traker will disappear from minimap but if you unselect this option the blizzard traker will not be restored. A suggestion, if I may: A plugin for quest helper users to be able to convert quest helper icons to metamap notes and same icons to be used to activate Gps feature would be fenomenal. TY for the support. Insanes Last edited by insanes : 11-01-08 at 03:12 AM.

I place it just so, logout, login as diff char, its moved, place it where I want it, logout, login as the first char, its moved again. I use TitanPanel and the main map keeps appearing half way up the TitanBar at the top of my UI. As I say a small niggle. I use TomTom and the waypoint feature of this addon works fine with it. Would be nice to be able to move this addon's pointer to somewhere other than the default location.

Hoshi A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Thanks, so glad to have this back And to the person who has problems with their chat messing up, I had this using the old version of metamap, you will probably need to do a completely clean install of metamap including all the saved variables (not saying this will work, but it might) Last edited by Hoshi : 10-27-08 at 02:42 AM.

I've looked thru the configurations of metamap and have tried to move it, but no luck so far.

I guess you didn't try "General Options" in the MetaMap menu. There you would have found the option to move or hide the MiniMap Button. Please be sure to actually try ALL the menus before reporting a bug. I wasted hours trying to find out what was wrong with MetaMap. I didn't write MetaMap, so it isn't easy for me to debug or know exactly what everything in there does.
