MetaMap  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 20100-2
by: MetaHawk [More]

DESCRIPTION:
============
MetaMap adds features to the WoW world map, keeping all mapping type features in a single place.
Some features are:

Adjust the map window size.
Move the map anywhere on the screen.
Adjust the opacity of the window & maps.
Saved sets for toggling between 2 map modes.
Allows full player movement, messaging, etc. with map open.
Adds coords to the main map and the Minimap
Adds Instance maps which open to the correct instance you enter.
Default data included for all bosses & locations etc.
User editable notes for all maps, including instance maps.
NPC/Mob database collectable by mouseover or keypress.
Toggling on/off display of unexplored areas of the map.
Boss Loot Tables displays all the loot dropped by bosses, and more.
Waypoint system to guide you to any set point.
Complete Quest logger with optional history database.
Tracker module for gathering Herbs/Ores etc.
NoteBook module for additional notes, linked to Tooltips.
Inbuilt Import and export facilities for various data formats.
Inbuilt Backup and Restore facilities.
Button on Minimap to open or close the World Map or display MetaMap options.
Key bindings for various MetaMap functions.
Full support for Titan Bar.

INSTALLATION:
=============
Extract ALL folders in the archive to the Interface\AddOns\ location. If you wish the Instance maps to be populated with default information, then on first installation you will need to select 'Extended Options' from the MetaMap menu.
Select the 'Database' tab, then click 'Load Imports'. This will enable the default import button, 'Import Instance Notes'. Click on the 'Import' button to import the data.


ISSUES/COMPATIBILITIES:
=======================
Some addons may reset the map to gather location data.
If your map continuously jumps back to your current location when selecting another map,
it will be due to another addon resetting it. In most cases the authors have made changes
to correct this so, download the latest version of any conflicting addon.

Added frame level adjust for TitanBar button. Works correctly again now.
MetaMapTRK now saves options seperately for each character.
...(Currently looking at changing the map routines, which is likely to take some time).
...(Thought i'd get these fixes out in the meantime).

MetaHawk is there anyone to get MetaMap to remember its position? I tried using DFM on the WorldMapFrame but once set it gives an error on the next use. Anyway thanks for such an awesome addon.

Sadly, that is no longer possible after the scale changes Blizz introduced with patch 1.9.
Prior to that MetaMap did save the positions.

Post 11200.9 update

you was doing so well with the updates but the latest went wrong (1200.9) as the create map note is stuck under the instance selection tab. i havent found anything else yet but will post if i do. so can you sort this quickly plz as the only reason i noticed this the first time i opened it is because i use create map note alot.

great map + lots more, even if it does get the odd bad update or bug now and then...still love it.

Would love to help you out on that but, I see no problem like that at all. When you refer to 'the create map note', do you mean the actual note? Or the note editor?

sry late on the reply but its the.....create note on player...... on the top left corner. its underneath the instance drop down menu instead of to the side of it. you may of sorted this with the 1200.10 update of which ive just downloaded. i use a apple mac if that would make any difference.

Ah, that belongs to CT_MapMod. Hmmm, I thought part of that stopped working, and the authors weren't updating it? You could always just use MetaMap's notes instead?
CTRL-Click on the player arrow would then do the exact same thing.

Notes in wrong place.

Hi,
I have been having this problem since the last release. At first I thought it was just my setup so I just ignored it but I recently turned a friend on to your mod and last night when we were playing he tried to create a map note for the first time and he had the same problem I have been having so I thought I would ask you if there is anything we can do to fix it.
The problem is we control-left click to create a note, enter the info and click save but then when you look at the map the note is not where you left clicked on the map. It is on the map but way far away from where you clicked. I had just been clicking on the note and using the move note button to put it in the right place and that worked fine so I told my friend to do the same. This is a bit annoying though. It didn't used to do this. I think it started with the last of next to last update.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to fix this.
Thanks...

PS We love your mod btw!!!

No idea why that is happening to you really. First thing you need to do, is to disable ALL other addons, then try it again. If it works fine, then another addon is interfering somehow.

Jumping map note

Hi,
OK, I did what you said. I disabled all other mods and tried it again. It still jumps but I noticed it only jumps when I am placing a note right on top (or slightly touching) of myself. If I ctrl-clicked on myself because I wanted to place a note for something I just discovered that I am standing in, like a tower, then the note jumps when I click save and I have to move it. If I create a note somewhere else on the map other then where I am standing it works fine.
I seem to remember others mentioning this issue below now that I think of it so maybe this is just a know limitation?

Thanks,
Twidget

Ah, that makes sense now. That was a problem with one version due to some changes. It was fixed in the latest v11200-10 release of MetaMap, as it states in the patch note above.

Google is your friend. So is this link (on this site): Installing Interfaces .

Feature Request -> A listbox where we can add NPC names line by line to an 'exclusion' list for the automatic adding of a mapnote and to the npc database.

I'm sure a lot of people (myself obviously at least), just want to track town NPCs, so being able to exclude say, squirrels, and "Darnassus Sentinal"'s, etc, would be great!

Also perhaps an option to not auto-add attackable creatures? *begs* =D

Love this mod, been using it since the start!

But exclusion options already exist in the form of manual capture. Simply disable the mouseover option, and use manually adding by keypress. Then you add only what you need at the time. That is the method I use all the time, so only ones I need for reference at any time are added. More preferable than adding more bulk to the code and resources, which most people would probably never use.

Hello, lately while using MetaMap I have been getting this error after opening then closing my map:

Interface\add ons\metamap\metamap.lua:
777: attempt to call global 'type' (a string value)

any idea what this is about? Sometimes it is a different number, but I have not seen it in a while. The only others mods I am using in the bib core/bag/tool bars and a mouse wheel text scroll one and Atlas.

Thank you.
