showing questgivers
 

There is (or was) an option in carbonite to show quest givers on the map.

I have trawled through the options and cannot work out where to enable it. Please can you describe how its done (a screen shot would be lovely!)

In the Carbonite addon folder, there is a secret and little known file. It is called simply.....CarboniteReadMe.txt This wondrous file contains vast knowledge spoken in plain English. It is an excellent resource for all who may peruse it.

Behold, a snippet from this tome that it may entice you to look further within it....

(bolded section will help you specifically)


Hope this helps you out :)

I suspect further questions and confusion about this would be prevented if options like this also appeared in the context-sensitive menu that appears when you right click the full map. Maybe under the Show sub-menu?

Well, if you mouse over the "radio buttons" on the quest watch header, you will get a tool tip telling you what they do. That's probably why it's not there.

Personally, I'd like to see a link for the "CarboniteReadMe.txt" file added to the menu that appears when you right click the Carbonite minimap icon (or, maybe, all the right click menus). It might help a lot of users as there is a lot of information in there that simply doesn't appear any where else (like the answer to the op's problem). I would further suggest that the install information contained in that document not be used there since you are reading it in-game so it's a bit redundant.

When you right click the Carb minimap icon, and choose the "Help" option the very first line on that screen points you directly to the CarboniteReadMe.txt file and even tells you why :cool:

It does, indeed. I never looked at the "Help", seriously, preferring to blunder through things and try to learn about it on my lonesome. That being said: It doesn't help you too much when you are trying to learn how to use a new (to you) addon and have to either back all the way out to the desktop and hunt down the file you need to read, or do a "alt+tab" and hope (at least in my case) it works again when you want to "alt+tab" back into the game again. Whenever I "alt+tab" out of the game, everything works OK but when I try to get back in that way, for some odd reason, about 90% of the time it just doesn't work. I end up using the Task Manager to kill WoW.

Also, before MMOUIMinion I used to install Carbonite manually, and the first time I did I opened the folders and had a look "under the hood" and found the CarboniteReadMe file. I just, really, never had a look at the "Help" heading in the Carbonite icon right click menu.

To me, personally, it just makes more sense to have that file included, somehow, in the right click menu's or in the "Options" dialog somewhere.
I suppose, though, that would just make Carbonite's memory foot print a little bigger what with the additional text and the relevant code necessary to display it in-game.

Would be nice, though.
