AlphaMap 

Changes in v2.81.20003 from v2.80.20003
-------------------------------------------------

- fix for people not using Gatherer

Changes in v2.80.20003 from v2.70.20003
-------------------------------------------------

- updated the Eye of the Storm Battleground coordinate system to display Players correctly now

- added the following Maps courtesy of Daveish <- He's like Niflheim on speed
Auchindoun: Auchenai Crypts
Auchindoun: Shadow Labyrinth
Auchindoun: Sethekk Halls
Auchindoun: Mana-Tombs
Tempest Keep: The Arcatraz
Tempest Keep: The Botanica
Tempest Keep: The Mechanar

- added support for the latest Gatherer Beta
NOTE: everything should work fine during normal play, but if viewing other World Map Zones other than the one where your character is located while using Gatherer, you may suffer from a performance impact and find Drop down boxes impossible to use. The AlphaMap Pause button can be used to solve these issues for the time being.
However, if you have used any AddOn that alters the original Blizzard WorldMap, such as the Miscallaneous AlphaMap Option, then you may also notice these problems when trying to use the original Blizzard WorldMap to view other zones, in which case the AlphaMap pause button will not help as it is linked to the Gatherer Minimap processing. I will investigate to see if this is solvable from within AlphaMap if the problem still exists when Gatherer reaches a Gamma release, as I believe that Gatherer's Astrolabe library is still being tweaked.

- AlphaMap will now highlight Named Bosses on Instance maps if you Target them

- when Named bosses in Instances are killed, AlphaMap will now flag them with a GraveYard symbol
If the Instance is a normal Party Instance, then the bosses will reset automatically when you leave the Party-Instance.
If the Instance is a Raid Instance, you will have to use the new Reset button.
If you don't receive the system message when a Named Mob dies, then your AlphaMap may still be updated by one of two automatic methods :
1.) targetting the corpse of the Named Mob will update its status on the AlphaMap Instance map
2.) other users of AlphaMap in the same Raid will send notification messages to you to update your Instance details
Failing that, you can use the new "Dead" option on the note Right-Click Menu to toggle the status of that boss.
NOTE: you can't note a boss as Dead unless you are inside an instance, but you are allowed to toggle the status back to life whether in an Instance or not

- corrected the Hellfire Ramparts map, and updated the notes. ty Pleegwat

- updated some more AtlasLoot Enhanced Loot IDs

- removed the AlphaMap Options frame link to AtlasLoot as no longer required

- fixed the problem where the AlphaMap Coordinates couldn't be moved by holding down the Control key

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN FUNCTIONALITY

- the Lock Map Option has been removed. Simply hold the <Control> and <Alt> keys down at the same time, and the movement bars at the top and bottom of the Map will become visible for you to move the map. Different maps will still store there positions separately.

- when scaling the AlphaMap, it will now be re-anchored to the center of the screen; This should stop the AlphaMap disappearing off the screen when you scale it requiring you to re-position it several times potentially. Now just scale it in the center of the screen, and use the new <Control><Alt>-Drag method of movement.

RFK

Sorry, I can't repeat the error. Maybe I made a typo somewhere.
Which language client are you using ?
By RFK I'm assuming we are talking about Razorfen Kraul on an English Client ?

The details seem OK in the files, and the Instance seems available in the Drop Down box for Kalimdor...

Yup

A few of the Instance Battleground names changed in the German and French clients, but sadly I didn't notice until after the last release. (e.g. German Ragefire Chasm name).

Don't forget you can select a Map manually, and then use the "Pause" button to make sure it doesn't change. You should even be able to close and re-open the map and it will still show the one you chose.

Changes in v2.66.20000 from v2.65.20000
---------------------------------------

- fixed the unattached Map Selector problem again, after having caused it again, after having fixed it the first time ;p
( Doh! I'm tired. )

- fixed the yellow circle locator to ensure it appears over the player even when using the Legacy Player Icons
(Although I may remove that option completely soon, as the old code does not seem to be standing the test of time. Are any people finding it a useful feature ?)

Changes in v2.65.20000 from v2.64.20000
---------------------------------------

- Instances now listed separately in drop down boxes based on the continent where they are located

- New BC Instance Maps provided with the kind permission of Niflheim

- Included new BC Battleground map for Eye of the Storm

- update for German Client Battleground Objectives

- fixed the problem of the UI disappearing if combat starts while the WorldMap is open

- small compatibility changes for WoW 2.xx and Burning Crusade

- can no longer Target Flag carriers in Warsong Gulch

- Drop Down boxes will now remain docked to the Options frame between log ins

- fix to ensure no .scale error during first time installs

Very confused by that error, can't identify the lines of code you refer to.

Can you say exactly which versions of "AlphaMap (Fan's Update)" and "MapNotes (Fan's Update)" you are using ? They should be reported in the chat window when you log in.

Sounds like it might possibly be corruption has occurred in the MapNotes database... but not sure.

Can you try using the following slash command as soon as you log in :

"/mn -datacheck"

If the error still happens, then I will probably only be able to help if you send me your MapNotes database to "[email protected]" - I'd be happy to take a look, and it might help me prevent this error in future, although this if the first time I've heard of it.

Telic,

Changes in v2.63.20000 from v2.62.11200
---------------------------------------

- updated to support new API, and The Burning Crusade Expansion pack

- one small bug fix for compatibility with MapNotes (Fan's Update) v3.10.20000

Changes in v2.62.11200 from v2.53.11200
---------------------------------------

- updated to support the latest version of AtlasLoot Enhanced

- some database updates

AlphaMap will show your location and the location of all your Party/Raid members in any of the Non-Instance maps. So you get all the player dots in Battlegrounds and World Boss Maps, and Instance EXTERIORS. So the player dot you have noted is being displayed in Gnomregan Exterior. i.e. the caverns before you go in to the Instance. There is no way to display accurate player positions within Instances I'm afraid, although I will be releasing a version that can highlight the area you are in at some point - if I get time.

On the good side, at least you can use the maps as an excellent Battlefield minimap replacement, and a zoomed map to monitor your Raid when taking on World Bosses.
