MetaMap

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).

Quite annoying when an author deletes your perfectly good comment, so I'll repeat here and on all the other web sites I can find ;p MetaMap is great, and MapNoting is essential But the ability to change Instance backgrounds that Alexgieg and askjosh wanted at ui.worldofwar.net is in AlphaMap - which is a much better map to keep on screen at all times, and can display player positions in non-instance dungeons. So I guess this will be deleted, by the Microsoft Conglomerate that is Urshurak, and I'll just post again....

I do love it, but there is something being added by it, that I would love to get rid of. Notice the rather LARGE green square that seems to be locked with the map: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...306_124546.jpg Any way of getting rid of that??

Re: MapMod import

Originally posted by khuren
I've been trying to import the notes from mapmod but cannot seem to get them to work. When i have mapmod and metamap running I can go to the import tab and press the import button. It says all is ok and everything seems ok. But when I disable mapmod in my addons list the notes from mapmod disappear. As soon as i re-enable mapmod all my notes reappear. Both MapMod and MetaMap seem to be happily playing together but I want to remove MapMod to reduce memory usage. All the notes that I'm interested in are automatic notes created in MapMod for ore/herb locations.

The process that I am going through is as follows:

With both CT_Mapmod and metamap enabled and the CT_MapMod.lua file copied to the MetaMapCVT directory (in Interface/Addons)
open map (Metamap opens)
click on 'Options' then 'Extended Options'
Select the 'Imports' tab
click 'Load Imports'
Get a message in the general tab "<MetaMap>: Found MapMod data file."
3 of the load imports buttons become available
click on the 'Import' button below 'Import MapNotes'
click on the 'MapMod' button
window disappears and get message "<MetaMap>: Imported 0 notes from MapMod from a total of 4 with 4 positions already occupied".

Is this function working? If so what am I doing wrong?

Sounds like that's working fine.

It's imported the 4 notes you had on the first run. Subsequent runs will import zero, as the notes already exist.
One thing to remember here, is that only the standard notes are imported, it will not import the herbs/ores as MetaMap doesn't cover those. The Gatherer addon does a fine job of that and is well supported so, I decided not to add that functionality while Gatherer is actively maintained.

Check out Gatherer for your herbs/ores. Although i'm not sure if that has an import facility for MapMod.

Ah, it's not just you seeing the items, it's anyone on your server who sees the item. Once anyone sees an item, it's registered as seen on the server. Any query to the server for that seen item will then result in a positive reply. It could be that you're on a fairly new server, where a lot of the items have not yet been seen.

Are you actually seeing the item details as well when you see this message from ItemSync?
If so, might be best to ask the author of ItemSync about that.

I get it for everything - how do I sort that error out?

Well, it's not really an error as such. The message you see is from the ItemSync addon, and is usually displayed when the server has not seen the item yet. This also happens after a new patch. Just takes a little while for the server to cache all the data again.

Also, it places a little green dot on my screen.....when I mouseover the dot that's when I get the error message.

That would be another addon doing something. If you have MapNotes installed, do not run that alongside MetaMap.

invite to: group / raid / guild
Whisper
Inspect
Trade
etc.

Right clicking on Enemy would auto target and melee

I think that would be awesome

Also can you have a target locator. for example:

on main map you ctrl click a location and it adds a "pin point" to the map, and a straight line to that location, it also places an arrow in the direction of that target (much like asking a guard in a city directions to a location)

I think that would be sweet too

ALSO

can you add a quest giver pin point for CURRENT quests in your log book? for example you speak to a guy and accept the quest and at that point it makes a pin point of where they are until the quest is complete and handed in that would save so much time for those that forget where the giver is. can you have it set to default pin point upon accept quest?

I think those would be awesome

not sure if you have this also but locations of mine veins, herbs etc, have it as an option to be displayed depending on your professions (2 drop downs selectable). Professions like enchantment can have the reagents by mob drops and can highlight the mob locations (maybe use a mob addon that details their drops for this ability).

maybe each area can have its own sub catagories like:

Item Drops (green %/ blue %/ orange % etc)
Average Mob lvl (in average %)
No. of Mine Veins
No. of Herbal reagents
Skinning Drops (Light Leather %/ Medium % etc)
Flight Path Locations (Alliance/ Horde)

Thats a very sketchy idea and I know some of it (if not all) is already out there but I think it could be made better, like having 2 drop downs for professions. I think gathering the informations can be imported or possibly shared (maybe auto update?)

maybe have a "professions" tab in the options settings to display certain things in a certain way. like text or image or colour. I dunno I'll leave that to you

I bet you probably have all that I listed and got a better approach too lol

my luck

Phew! That's a pretty long list

Ok, the 'show' option you mention already exists. Standard Shift+Click on any note, list item, or Boss Loot wil send the details to any open message box. Doing it on the Minimap coords will send your current location.

Will think on the Submenu idea.

Target locator: The BetterWaypoints addon does that already, and links to MetaMap. It also does the Quest pinpointing.

Herbs and Ores: Already covered by the Gatherer addon, which runs very nicely with MetaMap

Extended MoB info: Is covered by the MoBInfo2 addon.

Get downloading.
