HandyNotes (tempfix)

Version: 1.1.6c

by: Isharra [More]

The official HandyNotes release is out! It is version 1.2.0 so there should be no confusion when you upgrade. And please do go back to the official HandyNotes! I hope this addon helped you out.

All current work on the tempfix is halted.

This is a temporary patch for HandyNotes to work around the problems I was seeing with WoW patch 4.0.3a. The original HandyNotes 1.1.6 is available on Curse and WowInterface.

Cladhaire's changes to TomTom were incorporated so that Astrolabe 1.0 is used. This means that additional HandyNotes addons still need to be fixed separately if they call Astrolabe 0.4 themselves (see below.) If it works, Cladhaire deserves all the credit.

There is another attempt at a workaround HandyNotes (fanupdate) while it didn't solve my problem it should still work with the other HandyNotes addons as it was using Astrolabe-0.4 last I checked.

This is not intended as a fork in the codebase, just a workaround until the base addon is updated by the author.

Use /handynotes to access options.

You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:

Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.

The additional HandyNotes_* plugins won't work with this tempfix without being modified. Using these instructions with the official HandyNotes 1.1.6 won't work either. The FAQ changes should work with HandyNotes 1.2.0 when it's released as it will use Astrolabe-1.0.

See the FAQ for instructions on how to modify your HandyNotes_* plugins that aren't working.

Download the latest versions of SilverDragon, HandyNotes_Trainers, HandyNotes_Vendors and HandyNotes_Guild. They have been updated to work with HandyNotes 1.2.0.

Minimal testing with HandyNotes_SpecialNPCsEtc, HandyNotes_Charon and HandyNotes_Mailboxes since I don't use them normally but they load without error and seem to be adding the icons properly. HandyNotes_Mailboxes (tempfix) I've uploaded since I had to test the compat function changes required to support it.

rev 1.1.6c added "compat.IconsOnEdge = Astrolabe.IconsOnEdge" to hopefully fix icon on edge problem with the minimap.

rev 1.16b add functions to compat section to support HandyNotes_Mailboxes

rev 1.16a update Astrolabe-1.0 to r125

rev 1.16 initial release - Astrolabe-1.0 r123

I deleted the last line in the compat section and they show again.

How do you deal with all the clutter? For me it was displaying every mapnote on the continent in the minimap. The edges of the minimap were just a wall of yellow at places.

Please let me know if something is unclear or if another addon needs to be added.

Don't even think things like that! That's why I updated MyBags for a year.

Unfortunately I suffer from joint disease and can be unable to play the game (or type at all) for months at a time when it flares up. I'll keep this going as long as I can but I'd prefer for the original author to pick it up.

Re: Installed fix v1.1.6c and plugins disappeared

Originally posted by Coasty
The subject line says it all.

I have HandyNotes and the Vendors, Trainers, and City Guide plugins installed, and have the problem with the icons sitting on top of the arrow cursor.

So, today I installed your HandyNotes fix, plus your mailbox addon v1.07a, and with your fix installed the only plugins that appear in the HandyNotes options Plugin tab are HandyNotes itself and Mailbox. The Vendor, Trainer, and City Guide plugins, plus SilverDragon are no longer there.

I tried using the original plugins and the plugins modified to work with Astrolabe 1.0. In either case, with your fix installed the plugins are still missing from the options Plugin tab.

The original plugins won't work without being modified.

For all plugins:
replace

Code:

local Astrolabe = DongleStub("Astrolabe-0.4")

with

Code:

local compat = {}
compat = HandyNotes.compat

Then do a search and replace of "Astrolabe" with "compat". It's usually just one or two spots (except SilverDragon/handynotes.lua which has none.)

Minimal testing with SilverDragon, HandyNotes_CityGuide, HandyNotes_SpecialNPCsEtc, HandyNotes_Trainers, HandyNotes_Vendors since I don't use them normally but they load without error and seem to be adding the icons properly.

New zip file uploaded. Please see if it fixes your problem.

Yes, this fixes it. Thank you very much. It even works correctly with chinchilla minimaps non-round map.

Have you considered taking this over on a more formal basis if the original author doesn't show up?

Honestly, all I did was update the function call name. I'll check again but it should match the behavior of gathermate/gatherer etc where nodes out of range for a while show on the edge.

Thanks for the report.

[edit] Ok, it looks like the icon hide/show functions weren't getting called during the edge status change callback.
I think this gives the behavior you want.

Add this line to the end of the compat section and icons should disappear from the edge instead of hovering there. I'll upload a new zip with this change in a min.

Code:

	compat.IconsOnEdge = Astrolabe.IconsOnEdge

[/edit]

Thanks for the report.

The only thing that doesn't work right is changing the notes and that's really no big deal as long as I'm able to create the notes now and have then stay where they're created.. I only use the addon to mark spawn points of rare beasts I want to tame. I've never used any of the other features or plugins.

I do not use that Addon Control Panel though

I'll try on XP pro 32bit later tonight (kicking hubby off his pc to reboot into xp is just not polite) but that shouldn't make a difference. It works for me under wine (linux) and I have a mac os X user who says it's working there too. That's in addition to the Windows 7 64bit that I normally run.

My last suggestion is to try 1.16a and see if that works any better for you.

I really hate problems that I can't reproduce! It makes it so hard to debug much less fix.
