v1.2.7
13 August 2009
(Written for Live Servers v3.2.0.10192)

Routes allow you to draw lines on the worldmap linking nodes together into an efficient farming route from existing databases. The route will be shown (by default) on the minimap and zone map as well.

Use /routes to begin.


Features:
  • Select node-types to build a line upon. The following are supported
    • Cartographer_Fishing
    • Cartographer_Mining
    • Cartographer_Herbalism
    • Cartographer_ExtractGas
    • Cartographer_Treasure
    • GatherMate
    • Gatherer
    • HandyNotes
  • Optimize your route using the traveling salesmen problem (TSP) ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm
  • Background (nonblocking) and foreground (blocking) optimization
  • Select color/thickness/transparency/visibility for each route
  • For any route created, finding a new node will try to add that as optimal as possible
  • Quick clustering algorithm to merge nearby nodes into a single traveling point
  • Quickly mark entire areas/regions as "out of bounds" or "taboo" to Routes, meaning your routes will ignore nodes in those areas and avoid cross them
  • Fubar plugin available to quickly access your routes
  • Cartographer_Waypoints and TomTom support for quickly following a route
  • Works with Chinchilla's Expander minimap and SexyMap's HudMap!
  • Full in-game help file and FAQ, guiding you step by step on what to do!

Also similar strings present in esES and zhCH locales.

So when i call it by command in my language ('/маршруты') it works perfectly but it is confusing because there is no mention about this behaviour in addon info.
You're my hero

Ah, the slash commands are not supposed to be localized. I'll fix this some time probably, or force add an unlocalized /routes in addition to the localized one.

It means you Carbonite installed. It tries to pretend to be Cartographer to other addons, and fails.

All I did was add the following to the end of the zone_data in the Data.lua file, (3677.084 and 2452.084) was taken from the dbc file.

This worked for me.

HrothgarsLanding = {3677.084, 2452.084, 81,},

Hope it helps you all.

Great Addon

This is a great addon for all of us gathers, It may be me but I am having a problem when I tell routes to use the TomTom waypoints. They start out fine but after the 4th one I no longer get any more waypoints.

I just started using it so it may be just me, and I will keep looking at it to see if I am doing something wrong.

Yep, we'll get it updated soon. The error just means you can't create any routes in that new zone as the addon doesn't know its zone size.
