cargExplorer

Version: 2.1.6 r313

by: Cargor [More]

You are a world explorer who tries do get the achievement of the same name? Or you just want to reveal the whole map? Then this addon may helps you. cargExplorer displays a small info text next to the WorldMap-close button which gives the percentage of your discovered areas. If you don't have all parts of the selected map discovered, the 10 zones with the most missing parts are shown in the tooltip.

Based on Achievements
While previous versions counted the map overlays to fetch the data, WotLK versions get their information from the achievements-UI.
If you don't have the achievement for the selected zone, the tooltip will give you information on which zones / areas are missing.

Due to the changes, the now obsolete Auto-Scan button was removed and you don't need to click all zones manually - It just works!
It should work properly will all map modifying addons as well as map revealing ones.

It comes also with a LibDataBroker-1.0 data object, so that you can integrate it in your favourite LDB display addon.

Planned Features:
- Clicking on the text will open the appropriate achievements window

I'm just wondering why anyone before hasn't discovered the problem - do all of you use a map addon? The new update should fix it. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

panga666 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 29 Uploads: 0	Something is strange in Bloodmyst And i don't believe its the fault of this mod. I went here with 2 undiscovered places left: 'the hidden reef' ~[30,15] northwest of murlocs As the person before me had found. At this point i had No fog at all on the map. When i found The hidden reef , Bloodcurse Isle went foggy. I have already been there before though , so i am going back there now to see what happens. Edit: I went to Bloodcurse Isle , and fog is still there , no discovery. Then i went to the other place , and when i found that reef , i got 100% So now i have Kalimdor 100% discovered , but fog over Bloodcurse Isle. 8) Gonna check it in PTR and then do a /bug on it.

Jzar A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 158 File comments: 281 Uploads: 5	What in the crap am I doing wrong? I'm using cargExplorer and Mapster with 3.0.2, but the only tooltip I see is "Discovered 1/4 Eastern Kingdoms 20 Kalimdor 18 Northrend 9" No matter where I'm zoomed to. How do I get like the screenshot has of showing the inidividual areas in a zone that I'm missing?

xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	Well, it should change with the zone you've selected - but I'll try to reproduce the problem. EDIT: This was a bug in the version 2.1 - Try to update the addon to 2.1.1 (You can check the addon's version in cargExplorer.toc in the addon's folder). If the problem still persists, please write so. I've tested support with Mapster and it works without any problems. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

poppyq A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	This addon kills my FPS when I zone into an instance. When I go back out of the instance I'm fine. Tested this by disabling addons until I narrowed it down to cargexplorer. May need an update to prevent the addon from doing anything when in an instance.

Okay, I'll investigate the problem further - Strange, because for me it works perfectly ...

EDIT: Well okay, sorry, now got the problem, too

The addon is scripted the way that it only does something when the worldmap is updated (so, another zone is selected)- maybe Blizz updates the map several times when entering an instance? I'll check it.

EDIT: Well, I'm on tracing what could cause the problem, but I don't have any clue. The map updates around 80 times on login (for each available zone in game), but only ~5 times after entering an instance - and only during the loading screen and not afterwards while playing. So, cargExplorer doesn't execute any code after the loading screen.
Does the problem occur in every instance or just in specific ones / which ones did you test?
And did you disable really every addon except cargExplorer to check it? cargExplorer uses different libs and other addons could use the same ones (and because libs share their code, it seems like it is executed by cargExplorer).
Sorry, but at the moment I don't have any idea how the fps drop could be caused :/

xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	Re: Broker cargExplorer gives the data in two formats: - first the "text" attribute which is, for example, "100% discovered" - a "value" attribute, which is "100%" and a "suffix" attribute which holds the " discovered" The broker display addon should choose (or give the user an option) how the data should be displayed. I don't know which display addon you use, but I know it from StatBlock that you can choose your own suffix (or even remove it completely), so that it only reads "100%". __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

Dridzt A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1360 File comments: 829 Uploads: 56	Nek'mani Wellspring (28.0, 62.8) in Stranglethorn Vale seems to be missing. The percentage on the LDB display block (using Fortress) doesn't seem to update as more subzones are discovered. Only 2 minor things I've observed sofar. Very nice and helpful addon, thanks for sharing

11-13-08, 07:37 AM
xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	Is Nek'mani Wellspring part of the achievements? cargExplorer only reads the the needed subzones for the different achievements, not the actual undiscovered areas - so if an area is not part of an achievement, cargExplorer won't show it. Yeah, the LDB-implementation is very simple at the moment - it is only updated when you select another zone in the map, I'll try to improve it as soon as possible. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

It is yes. It's needed for STV completion.

xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	Okay, found the bug. Didn't know how this could happen, but somehow I used the achievement-id for "Green Hills of Stranglethorn" instead of "Explore Stranglethorn" ... Update will follow in a few minutes. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

xska A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 10 Uploads: 0	FPS drop I've also had the issue with FPS dropping in instances, or rather instance maps (ie Blackfathom Deeps without even entering the actual instance, just running around the caves). Narrowed it down to this addon and had to disable it. The lag often happened when someone is looting a mob.
