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).

Love this mod, been using it a while. I'd love to have the option to simply type in the coords and have it make a note point on the map instead of having to find it first. Maybe just a small input field at the bottom. input X Y and a title and hit Enter.

Reason i asked about this is, when i am marking locations on the map to complete the objectives for a quest i (and many others i know) use the quest title for the note. IE: Stolen Silver in the barrens would be marked at 32, 40 or w/e. So rather then constantly toggling between the map and quest log i thought it would be handy to have a make a map note option in the metamap quest log

Question regarding display functions

I was a user of gatherer for a long while and made the switch to cartographer a few months ago.

I tried out metamap and like some of the functions alot, however I did like the marking nodes etc on cart and also diplaying on the minimap that cartographer would do. This removed any need I had for gatherer. I had the quest giver etc addons for cart as well.

I have noticed the nodes on the map however they are quite large in comparison but nothing on the minimap.

Is this function available in Metamap?

Is the auto marking of quest givers eetc also available?

Like them both alot and torn between the two.

I swear, I tried to figure this out for 45 minutes! Apparently I just breezed right by the obvious! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me, in addition to this great addon!

One more question, and then I will be out of your hair forever (probably)! Does this addon support importing from MapNotes? I see the import funtion, but am unable to get it to recognize any data from MapNotes. Perhaps there is something I need to do in MapNotes first. Either way, it isn't a deal breaker; this addon is excellent.

Thank you again!

I'm having this problem using metamap which prevents me from opening it up.

Interface\AddOns\MetaMap\MetaMap.lua:893:attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'centerX' (a nil value)

I use SimpleMinimap and FuBar_LocationFu

Please help me... I want to switch from cartographer to MetaMap.

MetaHawk tanks alot for your quick reply.
I have had Ct_Map mode disabled, extended quest log can make interference with metamap and cause my major issue, and no i dont use titan zone plugin.

Now i am "working" so i can't do anything but in the evening when i return house i can try something like disable all addon and see if there are some changes, then step by step load titan and extended quest log (if this is the problem i will change quest mod).
I really like your mod, and i want to use.

As soon i do this try i submit results here.

Thanks again for all.

First of all, i use those addons:
-Metamap
-CT_Mod
-SCT
-Titan Panel
-Titan Xp extended
-Extended Quest Log
-Swatter
-OmniCC!
-Weapon Quisckswap
-Benecast

The issue:
green dots (place holder of POI) are wong placed into the map

Some examples:
1)In the Tanaris desert i have green dots (POI) the Barrens (in the middle of the desert there is Camp Taurajo, crossroad etc)
2)In Under City map i have green dots (POI) of Whetlands/Dun Algaz (menethill artbor, algaz station ect)
3)In Orgrynmar city map i have green dots(POI) of Muglore (Thunder bluff etc.)

...same in other city

I am not a mod developer but it seems one issue related to something wring with coordination beetween maps and POI coordinates, so when i enter in Under City i have some good green dots of UC and many , many wrong dots.

I have no idea how to fix it, delete all wrong dots is not a good idea (i have tryed but for ie if i delete all muglore green dots(POI), when i go in this arre i have no Points Of Interest.

Last thing there is a sort of minor issue with shiftt+click (standard binding for quick loot) and shift+clik of metamap notes (if i shift + Rckick on a corpse i quick loot but a metamap wkb open a thext imput box )

thanks alot for all work

Ok, first off, I can tell you that you will have a serious data corruption problem in the MetaMapQST quest module if you run that with Extended QuestLog. It is a known problem that the bad hooks in EQL will screw up any other addon making the same Blizzard calls.

The other sounds like something may be resetting the map at the wrong time, resulting in the notes being set for the wrong zone. Perhaps the Location plugin for Titan if you have that running? Or CT_MapMod? Try with all other addons disabled to see if the problem still happens.

As for deleting the POIs, that is no problem, as they are automatically recreated when you enter a new zone, if you have the MetaMapPOI option set to do so.

The Shift-Click actually is part of the MetaMapNBK notebook module. Unfortunately, that is the only key combination available so, you can either change the one for QuickLoot, or simply turn off that feature in MetaMapNBK options.

If I hover over where anyone/anything would be behind the map (i.e., NPC, player, mailbox), I see the appropriate icon to interact with that object. I can not seem to interact with the map itself.

Does anyone have idea about what might be causing this? I removed all addons in an attempt to fix the problem, but to no avail.
You might want to try turning off the 'Click through Map' option on the main menu.

As for the second, there is a limit to how many different combinations you can set before hitting the 'chicken and egg' situation.
However, bearing in mind that it is Zone related, to see all the quests for a single char, simply zoom out to the Cosmos map, and it will show all for a single char.
