GathererDB WoWHead  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.0.2013-06-15
by: Esamynn, dinesh, MentalPower, Nechckn, Norganna, norganna_uploader


WoWInterface is happy to announce that we have teamed up with Wowhead and the Norganna's AddOns Gatherer team to provide you with an exclusive downloadable Wowhead database for display in-game by Gatherer.

This addon will provide you with all the information currently in the Wowhead database showing all known locations of herbs, minerals and treasures. Now you can simply load up Gatherer, plug this database into it, and know what can be found in the zone you are in, without having to discover them yourself.

Wowhead will be providing regular dumps of their database to the Norganna team, who will then update the GathererDB Wowhead addon exclusively here on WoWInterface.


How it works
The import procedure is simple and painless. Once you have installed the AddOn and have reloaded the game, ensuring that both Gatherer and GathererDB_Wowhead are activated. When you finally log into the game, follow this procedure to import the new data into Gatherer:

  • Open Gatherer's configuration dialog.
  • Click on the red "Database" tab on the left-hand side of the dialog.
  • Click the import button in the main panel.

Make sure to add GathererDB-Wowhead to your favourites list here on WoWInterface and check back periodically to see if it's been updated, or get an email sent to you whenever they update it if you have those notifications turned on. Any time they update it, just re-download GathererDB-Wowhead and update your local copy.


Help improve the database
If you want to contribute your data back to Wowhead to continue expanding the database, please download and install the Wowhead client (available for both PC and Mac) and just follow the instructions on their site.


About Gatherer
Gatherer is an addon for herbalists, miners and treasure hunters in World of Warcraft. It's main purpose is to track the closest plants, deposits and treasure locations on your minimap.

The addon does not track like a tracking ability does, rather it "remembers" where you have found various items in the past. It does this whenever you gather (perform herbalism, mining, or opening) on an item, and records the specific map location in its history. From then on, whenever the item comes into range of being one of the closest 1-25 (configurable) items to your present location, it will pop up on the minimap.

When you view your World Map, you will also see the item locations clearly marked on each zone's map.


About Wowhead
Wowhead was created with one sole intent: to provide World of Warcraft players with an extensive database and tools to enhance their gaming experience. This website is our contribution to this wonderful game.

Our user community is a big part, if not the biggest part, of Wowhead. Almost all of our information comes from our users, through data uploads from the Wowhead Client, comments on database entries and screenshot submissions! The site also features forums, where users can ask questions, discuss important Warcraft-related topics, recommend and share favorite addons, and much more!

Updated to support Gatherer 4.0.4.

19 DEC 2010 Updated the node list and have included what data is available for the gigantic changes seen in WoW 4.x.

09 DEC 2009 Updated to the most recent set of nodes and updated TOC for WoW 3.3

18 FEB 2009 Updated to the latest nodes, including those recently renamed in 3.0.8.

29 DEC 2008 Corrected some inconsistencies between GathererDB and Gatherer. Included more node locations.

05 DEC 2008 Corrected issues in the script pertaining to Icecrown, node IDs, and a few more nodes included in the DB.

04 DEC 2008 Corrected Icecrown naming, items should now appear in that zone.

03 DEC 2008a The correct, expanded DB file and other changes.

03 DEC 2008 Added yet more Northrend and other WotLK node locations, formatting of file, et cetera.

Re: you guys rock!

Peyana,

Correct.

Until the version comes out after Cataclysm folks can disable the GathererDB_Wowhead.

Happy Gatherering,

Nikk

If I am getting error messages from GathererDB, I haven't really noticed it. But I think what you are trying to tell everyone is that they need to disable the DB add-on until after Cata, right? It's not going to affect Gatherer and it will still store the nodes they find, correct?

Re: The Database Problem

Donny,

Nah, that bit is correct; the biggest change is the way that global variables are handled changed from WoW 3 to 4. As noted a few times, the actual data is the main issue and that will not be ready until December, and we have many other tasks to attend to until that time, so look for the updated GathererDB_Wowhead after Cataclysm launches.

Happy Gatherering,

Nikk

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not but I opened DB_WowheadMain.lua and looked for a "then" statement that didn't have anything associated with it since the error I recieve notes a "then" = nil problem. I think it said line 104 but I also saw something about line 106. In any event, when I opened it in notepad I saw that the third to last if...then statement had nothing after the "then". It was followed by another "if". Here is the line:

if locale == "enUS" then
if not Gatherer.Nodes.Names[nodeName] then
Gatherer.Nodes.Names[nodeName] = nodeId
end
if not Gatherer.Categories.CategoryNames[nodeId] then
Gatherer.Categories.CategoryNames[nodeId] = nodeName
end
end
end

the "if locale =="enUS" then" line seems to need a then attached.

OR I could just be totally wrong. I'm not a programmer or anything like that it's just that all the other entries have a "then [something] followed by the next "if" statement and this one doesn't. If none of this helps I apologize for wasting time. I was just hoping I could help make this easier to diagnose.

To fix mine I just did the following:

Open DB_WowheadMain.lua
It's at about line 105.
Find:
Code:
		if not coroutine.resume(co) then
				this:Hide()
			end
		end)
And change to:
Code:
		if not coroutine.resume(co) then
				updateFrame:Hide()
			end
		end)
Then it worked fine for me.

Terran,

That should work, if folks 'need' it for some reason.

For those digging around in the files for the first time, use some text editor, even Notepad, by something with line numbering is better, like vi, NotePad++, or TextWrangler.

The simplified version would be to replace the line 106:
this:Hide()
with
updateFrame:Hide()

Happy Gatherering,

Nikk

Node Locations

Folks,

Please remember to run the Wowhead updater, available for MS Windows and OSX via http://www.wowhead.com/?client . The more data that comes in for Cataclysm, the faster it can be aggregated and supplied to us by Wowhead, coded into the AddOn, tested, and made available for everyone to use.

Happy Gatherering,

Nikk

Re: Re: Node Locations

Shmiles,

As noted, just below:

"Yes, you are correct that the GathererDB_Wowhead AddOn will not be updated until December and should not be expected to work until then."

And

"Please remember to run the Wowhead updater, available for MS Windows and OSX via http://www.wowhead.com/?client . The more data that comes in for Cataclysm, the faster it can be aggregated and supplied to us by Wowhead, coded into the AddOn, tested, and made available for everyone to use."

Happy Gatherering,

Great DB.
Any chance on a daily or weekly release? At least having the most recent data wound be handy.

Is there any way one could export the data from wowhead themselves?

Pay attention, the current DB is from 2009, it has a glitch with regards to importing after 4.0.1.

love4stupidppl,

Although at one time it may have been possible, with the data sharing arrangement, and credit provided where warranted of course, that is not possible without site scraping, which is just a bad neighbor practice.

Also, our time is very limited, so only a few updates should be expected - once there is data enough to make it worthwhile and when we have time to actually update the AddOn code, get the data, add it, test it, and release it.

Happy Gatherering,

Nikk
