Routes

v1.2.8a
23 December 2009
(Written for Live Servers v3.3.0.11159)

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.

Quickstart:

Download and install:

Start up World of Warcraft and make sure all addons are marked to be loaded (in the addon selection screen).

Importing into GatherMate:

Type: /gathermate

Go to 'Import Data' and then to 'GatherMateData' (left side)
If you already have herbs/mines of yourself, select 'Merge' from the 'Import Style' dropdown, otherwise 'Overwrite' is ok.
Select which sources you want to import (ea: Mining/Herbalism) and tick their respective boxes.
Hit the 'Import GatherMateData' button on the bottom.

Creating your first route:

Type: /routes

Go to 'Add' (left side)
Type the name of your route (and press 'Okay' or enter)
Now select the zone you want to create a route in from the 'Select Zone' dropdown.
Make sure the 'GatherMate' source has it's checkbox ticked.
Select which nodes (ea: what type of herbs/mines/fish) should be used to create your route.
Hit the 'Create Route' button.
Done! you can now go to the zone and follow the generated 'route' on your minimap.

You can change the color in the 'Line Settings' tab (and also completely hide the route)

Open your worldmap on the zone you just created a route in, and you will see a massive whirling of lines (light-redish).

Changing/Optimizing your route:

Type: /routes

Go to 'Routes' and then the zone you made your route in and finally to the route you created. This has taken you to the 'Information'-tab of this route.
Click on the 'Optimize Route' tab.
Hit the 'Cluster' button, this is usually advisable as most zones contain large amounts of nodes. Clustering will group 'nearby' nodes onto 1 point and the default distance is easily viewable on the minimap.
Hit the 'Foreground' button, this will try an optimization of the length of your route (you can see it being updated after it finishes if you use a map addon like Mapster).
Keep hitting the 'Foreground' button to try and make the route smaller,

Notes:

If you are using Carbonite and you are running into 'weird' errors using Routes related to 'Cartographer' (about HasModule), 'Cartographer_WayPoints', or 'TomTom' //please// turn of all 'Emulation' in Carbonite for these addons. If any error still exists after doing so, let us know so it can be fixed.

Features:

Select node-types to build a line upon. The following are supported
- GatherMate (Author's preference)
- Cartographer_Fishing
- Cartographer_Mining
- Cartographer_Herbalism
- Cartographer_ExtractGas
- Cartographer_Treasure
- 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!

Thanks. I reinstalled GatherMate and Routes, and now everything is working as it should.

Edit: I should add that I also did delete the gathermate files that were in the WTF folder.

Now, when I follow the instructions to create a map it doesn't do anything but tell me "Routes: No data selected for new route". According to the instructions, I should select what node I want to create a route for...but I am not given that option in Routes.

Did you select a proper zone to create the route in? City maps do not have nodes, and Routes defaults to selecting your current zone.

Hm, is there any way of checking for this? I like Carbonite for some things but I certainly would prefer my routes to be shown on the world map of Mapster...

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.
