Carbonite Dig Sites code up for grabs

[tinyu]

Thought id post a link to this thread here as the OP cant post in the carbonite forums

imho this should be implemented into Carbonite asap.

With Saiket's code I have packaged a plugin for Carbonite until this feature is added

Presenting

CarboniteDigsites

just install this plugin along side Carbonite and you will see the dig site boundaries on the Carbonite maps.

With the Archeology nodes imported and shown you can see the exact locations of the nodes. A few nodes are missing, but the majority that we do have give you an idea of the area by seeing lots of nodes.

The only problem I have with it is that the Blizzard digsite icon is under the node icons and the digsite icon disappears as you zoom in, so I made these changes for next version:

Made digsite icons draw above artifact icons.
Made digsite icons not hide while zoomed into map when "Show Artifact Locations" is on.


Showing artifacts:

Right click (C) minimap icon. Select "Options". Select "Guide".
Left click "Import Carbonite Nodes Misc (artifacts, gas) locations" and click "Import".
Press ESC. Right click a non icon area of map, select "Show" and check "Show Artifact Locations".

I prefer not to show any nodes on my carbonite maps. Being able to show the same digsite outline as the default Bliz map will be very helpful.
