Adorable Hatchling Nests

Version: v4.00

by: Taraezor [More]

Description
Places pins on the World Map and Minimap for every Razormaw / Ravasaur / Leaping / Darting Hatchling nest's spawn location. Each pin is customisable, has coordinates and difficult nests have extra tooltip information.

Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português Brasileiro, Русский, 한국어, 繁體中文, 简体中文

How to Use
Instal: Like any other AddOn. Set up: Works 'as is' but is configurable.

Minimap Options: Left Click or Shift Left Click on a pin to change the pin texture. Each click cycles forwards or backwards through a list. Changes will also appear on the World Map. Applies to a single pin only. Excellent for fast marking of visited locations or locations where a hatchling was found. New!

World Map Pin Options: Click on a pin. A Drop-down menu appears. You may select a texture for that pin or apply the texture to all pins. Changes will also appear on the Minimap. New!

World Map "Magnifying Glass" Options: Click the button in the top right of the World Map. Check boxes allow you to show/hide the hatchlings, play sounds and to show coordinates. As appropriate, there are options to reset all pin textures and to display relevant World Map zones. Changes will also appear on the Minimap. New!

Command Line: Enter '/ahn', '/arn', '/rapt', '/raptor' or '/ador' in chat. Use '/ahn s 30', '/ahn s 40' (for example) to change the pin sizes.

Chat Links: Activate the edit box of any chat channel. Hold down the CTRL key. Move the mouse over a pin. Link, description and coordinate data will be pasted to your chat channel. Just hit ENTER to send!

Details
Players are able to collect several raptor style companions/pets. They spawn within nests in different zones. Some zones have multiple possible spawn locations. The hatchlings may be traded or listed on the Auction House!

The Ravasaur Hatchling spawns within Ravasaur Matriarch nests. There are five possible locations in Un'Goro Crater. The respawn timer is several hours.

The Razormaw Hatchling spawns within the Razormaw Matriarch's nest. The nest spawns hourly and is located on the central platform within a Wetlands cave.

The Darting Hatchling spawns from one of Dart's nests, of which there are four possible locations. These spawn every couple of hours.

The Leaping Hatchling spawns from Takk's nests every hour. The four possible locations are at the base of a hill in the Northern Barrens.

Features

😃 Choice of textures
😃 World Map drop-down menus New!

Bonus Features

If You Like Adorable Hatchling Nests
Nobody can resist an adorable Raptor Hatchling pet or the magnificent Netherwing Drake and Long-Forgotten Hippogryph mounts. You'll of course need Dark Soil for The Tillers friendships and a Loose Pebble for your Dog! A familiar treat awaits if you complete Dalaran's Higher Learning. As you journey on this Long Strange Trip, map your way with X and Y coordinates and have some fun with Yarrr for pirate Tooltips.

Cookies, Beer & Donations
It is all about the cookies and beer although, and don't let Gallywix know about this, a "thank you" in the comments section fuels my programming appetite and is very much appreciated. And then, you could cut straight to

because as Gallywix would say... "time is money, friend". 😊

== v4.00 - 17th January 2019
* Total rewrite for Battle for azeroth
* Integrated/synchronised into my other map AddOns
* Tons of new functionality. See online docs

* "Macro Commands" in the command menu, whilst technically correct, has been renamed to the more sensible "Commands"

Many thanks. I am always looking for ideas. As well as your suggestion there are the eggs located in the Jade Forest area in Pandaria. Again another AHN / NE AddOn.

Edit: Just now checked your suggestion. I did NOT know about this mount. OMG! Right now have begun coding. Many thanks! (PS: I still prefer the white Silver Covenant one hehehe)

Taraezor A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 18 File comments: 205 Uploads: 32	v2.07 - Big Changes / Fixes High time I extend a little love to our cute little raptor friends. The change log is extensive for such a small AddOn and yet I pretty much have solved any issues I am aware of and which have accumulated over time. The Northern Barrens bug, due to some weird change at the server side at some unknown time in the recent past, caused the raptor sounds to spam ceaselessly. And I discovered that an MP3 made on my OSX machine here was actually nothing more than a wrapped AAC file and thus unplayable from WoW. ITunes and several other free conversion programs persisted in resisting a "real" conversion to MP3 so I just ditched them and went looking for a different Public Domain sound file. Easy done. Sigh. Enjoy! Oh yeah... Happy New Year for 2017! Woooooot! __________________ Nobody can resist an adorable Raptor Hatchling pet or the magnificent Netherwing Drake and Long-Forgotten Hippogryph mounts.

Taraezor A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 18 File comments: 205 Uploads: 32	Godzilla? Apparently on 1st April the Hatchlings are a little more aggressive. They certainly sound it hehehe. Edit: No complaints (sigh) after the Apocalypse which was April 1st. You can be assured that the cute little Hatchlings have returned to their normal placid selves. Godzilla has returned to the sea. __________________ Nobody can resist an adorable Raptor Hatchling pet or the magnificent Netherwing Drake and Long-Forgotten Hippogryph mounts.

Taraezor A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 18 File comments: 205 Uploads: 32	v2.00 / v2.01 / v2.02 Mini Map support finally added. You may freely zoom and rotate the Minimap! (As an aside... my coding difficulty stemmed from Blizzard respecifying the standard geometry functions in the LUA language with non-standard input/output. It totally threw me. Once I resorted to using direct LUA math.cos etc my faith in my ability to do high school maths was restored...) The Wetlands cave has some curious scaling issues. So I coded specifically for all six zoom levels while inside the cave. Choice of raptor sounds now. See changelog. Default is a random choice of one of several baby raptor sounds found within the WoW game files themselves. Player can choose a more adult sound too. Did a little optimising and tidying to remove some non-LUA coding style and basically be more conformist. Baring bug fixes and TOC file updates I can't think of much more to include with this AddOn? __________________ Nobody can resist an adorable Raptor Hatchling pet or the magnificent Netherwing Drake and Long-Forgotten Hippogryph mounts.

Taraezor A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 18 File comments: 205 Uploads: 32	Known Bug A minor bug but perhaps off-putting: In my travels recently, I think it was the Northern Barrens, I was in the Wailing Caverns. I entered by walking in and NOT be queuing via the dungeon/party finder. As you walk through from the entrance until the instance portal there is a kind of preliminary cavern to explore. It has its own map. If I recall correctly, the placement of the egg locations get triggered for this map. I will fix in due course. Obviously minor but I will get around to fixing. __________________ Nobody can resist an adorable Raptor Hatchling pet or the magnificent Netherwing Drake and Long-Forgotten Hippogryph mounts.

Taraezor A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 18 File comments: 205 Uploads: 32	v1.01 Yup already considering. If you looked at the code, I have several icons/templates to use but they can't be selected without editing. I'll make a command you simply enter in chat for this. Also, I will add mini map. Sorely missing atm. But... I just learnt how to put pins on the world map. So I just need to learn about the mini map now lol. New to this map stuff, lol. __________________ Nobody can resist an adorable Raptor Hatchling pet or the magnificent Netherwing Drake and Long-Forgotten Hippogryph mounts.

Maintaining an office at the Gallywix Pleasure Palace requires me to show the good Trade Prince himself no end of ample "consideration".

Sure, he is happy so long as I keep churning out these AddOns and keep them up to date. And bring him a big bag of "consideration" at our regular meetings at the "19th Hole" of his Grenade Golf Course.

The problem for me is I program my AddOns for the pure fun and love of programming. So after I have paid off Gallywix, there is little left for cookies and beer.

It is all about the cookies and the beer.

If you fuel my appetite then I'll fuel yours for more great and up-to-date AddOns!

(I do hope that my AddOn has in some small way contributed to your fun with WoW!)
