AlphaMap 

- update for Simplified Chinese Localisation (Thanks to Springsnow)

- stopped drop down boxes reverting to world zones when map opens after selecting an Instance/BG/Raid map

- stopped player position pinging when showing maps that the player is not currently in

- stopped the player icon appearing on maps it shouldn't appear on when the Pause button is clicked

- changes to make compatible with the next release of AtlasQuest. ( AtlasQuest version 3.14.30 and later should work with AlphaMap ) Check for new "AQ" button at the top right of instance style maps.

- new AtlasLoot button at top right of Instance maps allowing quick access to AtlasLoot Sets

- also fixed small problem where AtlasLoot Legendary sets not accessible

- AlphaMap will now automatically open an Instance map when you select "Instances", or a Battleground map when you select "Battlegrounds", etc. It will try to remember the last map you had open, or just open the first map in the Drop Down list.

- improved the coordinate system in Alterac Valley so player positions are now more accurate

- some small database corrections for Warsong and Alterac Valley

- movement bars are now hidden when the Control key is pressed in Mouse Interaction mode, to stop them interfering with mouse clicks at the edge of the map.

- formatted the tooltips with default line breaks (with a couple of deliberate exceptions)

- German localisation updates from Stardust

Changes in v2.50.11200 from v2.32.11200
---------------------------------------

- Pause functionality now much improved and should now successfully prevent map resets caused by more troublseome conflicting AddOns such as Telo's Infobar Coordinates.

- now properly fixed the sending of messages in Battlegrounds. Note that you still need to be in a Raid/Party BEFORE you enter a Battleground in order to send AlphaMap Battleground messages to Raid/Party members

- Added help Tooltips for the Map Selector controls, and the Options. (Only English tooltips available currently)
These tooltips can be turned off/on via the 'Help Tooltips' checkbox in the Miscallaneous Tab of the Options.
I haven't provided Tooltips for every option, just those I thought needed clarification.

- Options slightly reorganised. You should now only be able to access Instance options when the last map you opened was an Instance map, and only be able to access the Battleground options if the last map you had open was a Battleground map, and so on...
Please see the "AlphaMap's Options" section of the 'Readme.txt' file for more details.

- Added map of the exterior of Uldaman

- Added map of the exterior of Wailing Caverns

- Improved performance by reducing AlphaMap's memory footprint by roughly 50% (approx. 1.3Mb reduction)

- added an Earth/Cosmos button for accessing AlphaMap Options

- updated compatibility with latest version of Gatherer (Supports Gatherer filtering options and latest gatherer types - you may need to update your version of Gatherer. I had no problems displaying icons recorded from earlier versions in the latest one)

- slightly increased the size of the font used to display player/cursor coordinates

- made the AlphaMap note highlighting much more noticable

- fixed a silly bug which prevented Simplified Chinese Localisation from working

- slightly increased the size of the player icon at smaller scales, and slightly corrected the player ping animation position and made it more visible
(You can use the HotSpot (by mousing over it) to highlight player position on the map)

- default alpha setting for AlphaMap maps (i.e. Instance maps, etc.) is now fully opaque

Just a toc update for now due to the chaos caused by WoW 1.12 patch ;p

AlphaMap v2.12.11100 is not fully compatible with AtlasLoot v1.18, as you may have noticed if you have tried to look at any of the Class Sets

However, I've been working on v2.25.11100 for a week or so now, and have been testing with AtlasLoot v1.18 Beta, so the next release of AlphaMap will be fully compatible again when released tomorrow

Thanks again to AtlasLoot's author, Daveish, for help with making AtlasLoot's new features compatible with other AddOns

Should fix the issue that could cause the AlphaMap to display when first logging in, and/or when changing zone.

k, sorry folks, there does seem to be a problem where the AlphaMap can auto-open when you log in or change zones, if you have attached the Map Selector Drop Down boxes to the AlphaMap. I will be fixing this issue in the next release - I may even publish a quick fix version very soon and put the other new functionality and localistaion changes on hold for a few more days.

For now, the only thing you can do is show the Map Selector Drop Down boxes in a different location. e.g. leave them docked to the options frame, or leave them on screen all the time (they can be moved where ever you like by 'unlocking' the padlock and moving via the frame's border.)

This is quite a strange error, as I can't always repeat it, however, I'm quite confident I know the piece of code involved so...should be fixed soon.

Hi Mazzlefizz,

I've finally had a chance to test AlphaMap with StatusWindow and I can't find any problems

I have tried StatusWindow with 2 windows showing and all the default modules enabled, including position, and AlphaMap doesn't show when I log in; And I can't see anything obvious in the code that might cause the issue.

Are you using any modules for StatusWindow that are not included in the base AddOn package?

Thanks for the info Mazzlefizz

I will download and have a look at that AddOn as soon as I've published NotesUNeed v4.50.11100


Cheers

Nope, but one other person has reported this as an issue. I have been completely unable to repeat the scenario, but I think I will be able to put a harmless hack in the next version which will ensure you don't see it when you log in.

I'm busy releasing an update of NotesUNeed for the next couple of days, and then it will take me 4 or 5 more to release the next update of AlphaMap.

I may also include a secret debug mode in the next release, and if I haven't solved your problem, then I hope you'll be willing to contact me by e-mail and we can see if the debug messages help...

My e-mail for AddOn stuff is [email protected]

It might help me if you could send your AlphaMap.lua settings file from your Saved Variables directory, as it may be a particular combination of settings...

Anyway, lets wait until next week-ish, and see if I can resolve the issue

See above...clicked reply instead of edit.... Doh!
