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!

Great mod ty for the hard work.
Please read/use the in game help file to learn how to optimize your routes. The "initial" created route isn't meant to be used, and is unoptimized. Go to your route, and check out the "Optimize route" tab.

I'm using Mapster, TomTom and GatherMate and I cant for the life of me make decent farm routes. The default ones made are kinda.......retarded. They seem to go back and forth over almost exactly the same areas to get from one node to another. If I edit the route manualy all i can do is drag waypoints or delete them not make new ones between the vertexes(or w/e they are called). Maybe its just me or maybe its mapster. Any help?

If I need cartographer could you add a link to a working version please as I have trouble finding one since latest patch nuked everything to hell.

Thank you in advance :-)

Yes, ckknight made sure of that by checking personally. If something breaks, tell ckknight about it, because he wrote Cart 3 to be all-inclusive of map objects drawn on a map, by re-anchoring them to the Cart3 map at the correct spots.

Routes has been around for almost 15 months, Cart3 about 6 months.
