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.

06 June 2007 - v20100-2
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).

Would anyone please point me to a Readme or FAQ that teach me how to use metamap?
One thing I can't figure out is I can't hide the "Mapnote Sorted List" without hidding my mapnotes at all.....

Great Addon

Hello,

I installed the lastest update and started receiving an error anytime I hit extended options:
metamap.lua:961:attempt to index a nil value.

Didn't have this error before this new update, and I have tried to roll back to the one right before this and now I receive it on both.

I installed my old metamap.lua Sv files and MetamapKB.lua SV files (prepatch)in my SV folder for the previuos install( Metamap20000-2). I am currently running 20000-3_20061210. If that info helps any.

HELP! lol

I am usually pretty good at these types of things, but cannot get this to run right. I have the newest version of metamaps. I have a converted file that should work from http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2173. If you scroll down to the first post on the page a poster has a converted file thats a exp file. I put it in and although it does post locations i am getting various nil errors in various portions of metamaps. The errors show themselves when loading, and when importing files.

Am i stupid? lol

Any help would be appreciated, love the addon!

Last error is Metamapcvt.lua error 197 Bad augument...string expected, nil value

Not quite sure I understand that one. The only FuBar integration is that it displays the MetaMap icon on the bar, and only provides access to the MetaMap menu. It does nothing else up there, certainly not location information.
Still, if you don't want it there, simply disable it in FuBar.

Thanks

Latest version sorts the Blizzard WorldMap button, and the FuBar button around the Mnimap

To all:
As it seems some of you do not read the patch notes, here is the reason why a few of you have errors...

Firstly, the data format for both MetaMap and MetaMapWKB has totally changed. It took 3 weeks of hard work to rewrite most of MetaMap and its modules to achive this. It now no longer relies on the dodgy Blizzard Zone indexing. Now, if you upgraded BEFORE the patch, all your notes would have ended up in the right place. If you upgraded AFTER the patch, most will be wrong because of the ZoneShifts caused by the new zone additions.

v20000-1 included a temporary zoneshift matrix to shift the zones to the correct index, before upgrading the data format. However, you would need PRE-PATCH backups in order to achieve this. The patch notes did advise to make a backup of those.

The inability to import the default instance notes was due to a last minute change to pathing by Blizzard. v20000-1 also corrected this.

So, if you are a clever girl like loverat, all you need to do is to place those MetaMap.lua and MetaMapWKB.lua PRE-PATCH backup files into the SavedVariables folder, start WoW, and all is fine again. Better still, use the new version I just uploaded

I love my MM - but now it is a tad borked :/ I get the correct map, with the wrong name and the overlay for yet a third area and note points for a fourth and completely different area =)

I do have a backup of my pre 2 data (who's a clever girl then) but I'm assuming the pre 2 version won't work anyway. I WAS using Notes You Need but haven't replaced it after the patch - but perhaps it had something to do with what looks like data corruption!

Root of problem

I found the problem. The modules will not load. I can click and click, but it won't load the default module databases for instances and such. What do I do?

Any help?

I guess no one knows what's up with it. I'd hate to get rid of the mod, but I guess I'll have to. I'm also getting a bunch of errors and WOW is forcing me to disable parts of MetaMap.

Boss Loot and Instance Notes problem

I downloaded the latest version for 2.0, but I have a BIG problem.

None of the instances have loot tables and none of them are showing notes. I did a clean install, because I well had to. If I didn't I had the map showing me World Boss mobs in stormwind and all kinds of major location errors.

What's up with this thing?

Reverting back to previous metamap version to see if it is this latest version causing the problem.
As stated in the patch notes, this has been a MAJOR revision to MetaMap. Other addons will no longer work with this version and will need to be updated to the new routines.

I would also strongly suggest you DO NOT revert to a previous version, as this will most certainly destroy all your existing data.

i keep getting a an audio feed saying "fatality" (like in all the worms games) when i run nere an npc of any kind, cos i just got metamap its happens for everything and its really pissin me off.

thnx
the addon that produces the "fatality" sound ist most likely bugsack, but as it only records the bugs i would suggest you look through the list which addon is causing the bug ;-)
