Candy Buckets

Version: v11.0.2.240920

by: Vladinator [More]

Official repository can be found at GitHub.

Candy Buckets makes it easier to track several world event objectives:

Hallow's End
Lunar Festival
Midsummer Fire Festival

Features implemented:

Simple overview on zone and continent views.
Works with the default map, probably not with other map related addons.

CandyBuckets
v11.0.2.240920 (2024-09-20)
Full Changelog Previous Releases

Added Brewfest locations from Dragonflight and TWW expansion. Seems that the event also has annual lootable quests around the world.
TOC bump.
Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/Vladinator/wow-addon-candybuckets
Added additional missing phasing markers.
Added missing phasing markers.
Update release.yml
Minor fixes based on comment feedback.
Updated documentation and gitignore.
Added missing Alliance bucket.
Added TOC files for the other clients.
Added Candy Bucket locations for the Dragon Isles in preparation for 10.1.7
New release with the adjustments.
Slight coordinate adjustments and position fix for Thaldraszus/Valdrakken Bonfire. Also added the The Forbidden Reach on the list to make it visible from the Azeroth map view.
Added the latest Dragon Isles Midsummer Bondfire locations and "phasing" markers for the one in the Zaralek Cavern.
TOC bump for 10.1
- Added Lunar Elders in Dragon Isles.
- TOC bump.
Version bump.
Removed old location for quest 32047.
Edited some Candy Bucket locations, added a potential phased bucket with two positions.
Tried to improve the coordinate reporting functionality, so it only warns the user if the distance is large relative to the map size.
Updated for 10.0.0
Fixed some logic opsies, the default waypoint system now works.
- Added built-in waypoint support.
- Added doc comments.
- TOC bump
- Extended the event lingering duration from 3 to 12 hours to hopefully cover the US to NA time difference
- Adjusted hallow quests 32034 and 32036 based on feedback
- Adjusted midsummer quest 32499 based on feedback.
Fixed pkgmeta whitespace issue
TOC bump
string concat wrap
Using the new calendar API that returns current date and time to avoid oddities with timezones from mixing different time and date related API.
Added boundary check for the modifier zone clicks so that the list contains only names of icons visible on that map.
Improved accuracy of child zone detection and this should make icons appear in the parent zones as well, not just directly or close-to the actual zone like before.
Of course I forgot one more thing that would error, less noticeable but still nice to fix so the location reporting works and people can assist updating the database when positions are wrong.
Fixed an issue with quest completion detection that was changed for SL.
Correct TOC bump for SL pre-patch.
Cleaned up deprecated file.
Create release.yml
Patch 9.0 compatibility fixes.
BfA and Shadowlands support.
- Fixed bug where some maps didn't contain themselves and icons would disappear.
- Added a simple list modifier that will make a list of nodes appear in the middle of the map, it's quick and dirty way to dump anything we should have shown on map but as a list for easier hunting. Hold down any modifier when navigating the map or opening it to display this list.
- TOC bump
- Fixed an issue where instance quests like the Lunar Elders would trigger an error report about being too far away. This was caused by the distance check and the fact that instances don't have coordinates available to us in the first place, so this behavior is checked for and disabled in this particular scenario to avoid these error messages.
Fixed faction for the newest BfA buckets. They are not both neutral anymore.
Adjusted the Westfall bucket due to phasing, it has two locations but you can only get one, as expected. Because the phase isn't known, yet, I show a indicator where you should go and check, and they both go away after quest is completed.
Added several missing zones like Crystalsong Forest, Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Zuldazar, Dazar'alor, Tiragarde Sound, to show their underlying cities and locations on their parent zone maps.
Adding the world view so when you zoom out to look at Azeroth, you will see the locations in all the sub-continents, more or less. Let me know if it's a game breaker, but it seems to be working quite nicely as a completionist view.
Just to be super safe, ignore the travis file by name.
TOC bump and WoWInterface automatic packaging.
Updated many locations with more accurate coordinates thanks to community effort to report misplaced locations. Thanks guys!
Version bump to match the patch.
Small adjustments, most locations appear to be correct for this years midsummer event. Thanks for all the feedback that helped get the addon up to speed!
- Manually adjusted several bonfires along my tests and adjustments from reports. Thanks guys!
- Added better quest detection, in case a quest related to an event is turned in, but the quest isn't part of the database, or is not located in the appropriate location, it will be printed in the chat so you can easily copy paste it to me so I can update the location.
- I think the calendar changes requires a specific API call to force the calendar to update, currently deployed two fixes that should improve the event detection greatly.
- Added patterns to match quest titles for various locales associated with the various world events. If a quest is turned in that matches a pattern but isn't part of the module, i.e. the quest is new or not tracked, the same report as inaccurate location will be printed in the chat for the user to copy and paste back to us to add the missing location.
- Added a location check when quests related to the events are turned in. This performs a simple distance check between your location and the expected location, if you are too far away a message is printed with information helpful to track and fix the issue. Please let me know when you get these so I can collect and update them for next event.
- Added back the old description line in both tooltip and waypoint so the destination zone name is visible when flying around.
- Fixed a bug where using the continent map to make waypoints would incorrectly point to the world map coordinates instead of the zone coordinates. The end result would be the same, but the zone map would not show the tracked TomTom waypoint.
- Another pass to improve event detection by also checking the calendar when zoning.
- Adjusted locations for bucket in Sunstrider Isle to appear properly in Zangarmarsh.
- Adjusted the coordinates for the Badlands bucket.
- Updated for 8.1.5 and the new summer bonfires added june 2019.
- Added faction and completion check when adding all locations as waypoints to avoid adding inaccessible locations to your route.
- Fixed issue with waypoint clicks that was visible if lua errors were reported.
- Added border to icons to make them stand out more. Colors are based on the faction colors like flightpaths.
- Added back the TomTom waypoint support.
- Adjusted a couple of Hallow's End candy bucket coordinates.
Updated for BfA.
- TOC bump.

Thanks for this addon I tryed HandyNotes_LunarFestival but almost every position was wrong, this one just works fine. The Instance marks don't show up when you go inside thought. (e.g. Zul'Farak)

One more thing: http://www.wowhead.com/npc=15563/elder-bellowrage coud be linked with http://www.wowhead.com/npc=88206/zidormi because:

Starting from 2015, you need to speak to Zidormi to get the buff Time Travelling to find this elder.
Makes me wondering what the Iron Horde had done to this poor elder.

Re: Re: Re: Can't get addon to work :(

Tried without other addons? I heard some map addons could break the behavior of Candy Buckets. With things not being properly up to date yet these things can happen.

So far most people seem to use it without issues, so it might be other addons not playing nice together that break the icons.

I deleted Candy Buckets from my addon folder and put the latest version from curseforge (last updated yesterday) in there.

Re: Not parsing faction in outland

It will show both quests and label them by faction in the latest version.

You need to visit the faction appropriate for you. If no faction is picked you can't visit any of those.

I'd say I'd go back and try it with today's update, but that's my last toon to get the holiday. :/

Thanks, it does make things easier!

In any case my version works fine, SatMap caused some issues I fixed too (with overlays) so I'll upload the fix soon. __________________ Profile: Curse \| Wowhead

DohNotAgain A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 51 Uploads: 0	This addon and Mapster Enhanced don't play together 100% well. No LUA errors. When M.E. is enabled the bucket location icons don't show reliably. I have to toggle the map on and off to get them to show. They show and disappear randomly as the map is toggled on and off. If a zone has more than one bucket they may or may not all show at the same time. If I disable M.E. the bucket location icons always show up. Not sure if there is anything you can do about this. Just thought I would let you know about it.

Hehe, you can do like me, add the room on Pidgin and just let it be in the background, if someone says your name it will notify you with a sound and flash, other than that it's up to you if you speak, read or not.
