HandyNotes (tempfix)

Version: 1.1.6c

by: Isharra [More]

The official HandyNotes release is out! It is version 1.2.0 so there should be no confusion when you upgrade. And please do go back to the official HandyNotes! I hope this addon helped you out.

All current work on the tempfix is halted.

This is a temporary patch for HandyNotes to work around the problems I was seeing with WoW patch 4.0.3a. The original HandyNotes 1.1.6 is available on Curse and WowInterface.

Cladhaire's changes to TomTom were incorporated so that Astrolabe 1.0 is used. This means that additional HandyNotes addons still need to be fixed separately if they call Astrolabe 0.4 themselves (see below.) If it works, Cladhaire deserves all the credit.

There is another attempt at a workaround HandyNotes (fanupdate) while it didn't solve my problem it should still work with the other HandyNotes addons as it was using Astrolabe-0.4 last I checked.

This is not intended as a fork in the codebase, just a workaround until the base addon is updated by the author.

Use /handynotes to access options.

You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:

Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.

The additional HandyNotes_* plugins won't work with this tempfix without being modified. Using these instructions with the official HandyNotes 1.1.6 won't work either. The FAQ changes should work with HandyNotes 1.2.0 when it's released as it will use Astrolabe-1.0.

See the FAQ for instructions on how to modify your HandyNotes_* plugins that aren't working.

Download the latest versions of SilverDragon, HandyNotes_Trainers, HandyNotes_Vendors and HandyNotes_Guild. They have been updated to work with HandyNotes 1.2.0.

Minimal testing with HandyNotes_SpecialNPCsEtc, HandyNotes_Charon and HandyNotes_Mailboxes since I don't use them normally but they load without error and seem to be adding the icons properly. HandyNotes_Mailboxes (tempfix) I've uploaded since I had to test the compat function changes required to support it.

rev 1.1.6c added "compat.IconsOnEdge = Astrolabe.IconsOnEdge" to hopefully fix icon on edge problem with the minimap.

rev 1.16b add functions to compat section to support HandyNotes_Mailboxes

rev 1.16a update Astrolabe-1.0 to r125

rev 1.16 initial release - Astrolabe-1.0 r123

Ok.. as you can tell from the error message "Message: ..\AddOns\SilverDragon\handynotes.lua line 4.. etc" both errors are being caused by the handynote plugin for SilverDragon and is quite an easy fix.

Open ~\SilverDragon\handynotes.lua. Search line 4 for:

Code:

local Astrolabe = DongleStub("Astrolabe-0.4")

and replace with:

Code:

local Astrolabe = DongleStub("Astrolabe-1.0")

This should correct your errors with SilverDragon.

The changes worked perfectly. If the compat code isn't inserted in each of the HandyNotes_* addons, this won't work. Tried it and it was looking for the "compat" function. Added it in and all good.

I'm glad it worked for ya

I've also posted a link on the addon page on the Curse site so others may benefit from the tempfix.

You're in luck! I've been able to get the HandyNotes_* plugins to automark again. Be sure to copy/paste the TomTom Astrolabe work around into each of the following plugins as well. (I'm not sure if it will still work if not, I just added it as a 'just in case')

If applicable to you:

Open HandyNotes_CityGuide/addon.lua
Search:

Code:

local continent, zone, x, y = Astrolabe:GetCurrentPlayerPosition()

Replace with:

Code:

local continent, zone, x, y = compat:GetCurrentPlayerPosition()

Open HandyNotes_Mailboxes/HandyNotes_Mailboxes.lua
Search:

Code:

local c,z,x,y = Astolabe:GetCurrentPlayerPosition()

Replace with:

Code:

local c,z,x,y = compat:GetCurrentPlayerPosition()

Open HandyNotes_Trainers/addon.lua
Search:

Code:

local continent, zone, x, y = Astrolabe:GetCurrentPlayerPosition()

Replace with:

Code:

local continent, zone, x, y = compat:GetCurrentPlayerPosition()

Open HandyNotes_Vendors/addon.lua
Search:

Code:

local continent, zone, x, y = Astrolabe:GetCurrentPlayerPosition()

Replace with:

Code:

local continent, zone, x, y = compat:GetCurrentPlayerPosition()

Then save each of those files and enjoy your notes not following you and getting automarked

Toran A Nerdscale Dorkin Forum posts: 143 File comments: 433 Uploads: 0	Thanks for this. I hacked up the handynotes modules to work on their own (per Isharra's comments on front page), and replaced all occurences of this: Code: local Astrolabe = DongleStub("Astrolabe-0.4") with Code: local Astrolabe = DongleStub("Astrolabe-1.0") Update: Only thing I've noticed so far is that the Handynotes Vendors, Handynotes Trainers, etc addons don't auto-add new vendors / trainers to the map anymore. Not sure why. Last edited by Toran : 12-17-10 at 09:14 PM.
