MetaMap  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 7.3.5.1
by: mbanks850 [More]

DESCRIPTION:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=13311
============

MetaMap adds features to the WoW world map, keeping all mapping type features in a single place.
Some features are:

Allows full player movement, messaging, etc. with map open.
Adds coords to the main map and the Minimap
User editable notes for all maps, including instance maps.
NPC/Mob database collectable by mouseover or keypress.
Toggling on/off display of unexplored areas of the map.
Waypoint system to guide you to any set point.
Complete Quest logger with optional history database.
Tracker module for gathering Herbs/Ores etc.
NoteBook module for additional notes, linked to Tooltips.
Inbuilt Import and export facilities for various data formats.
Inbuilt Backup and Restore facilities.
Button on Minimap to open or close the World Map or display MetaMap options.
Key bindings for various MetaMap functions.
Full support for Titan Bar.

MetaMap Module List

  • MetaMapBKP - Backup and Restore map notes
  • MetaMapBWP - Waypoint system Module
  • MetaMapCVT - Preconfigured map notes import file (most likely needs updating for cataclysm)
  • MetaMapEXP - Map notes Export module. Allows you to save the map notes to SavedVariables\MetaMapEXP.LUA.
  • MetaMapFWM - Enables show unexplored sections of the map command
  • MetaMapHLP - MetaMap Help module
  • MetaMapNBK - Notebook module
  • MetaMapQST - Quest tracker and Quest history
  • MetaMapTRK - Mineral and Herb node tracker, places nodes on the map. Similar to Gatherer
  • MetaMapWKB - Tracks locations of NPCs and stores in a list by zone

6.0 Fixes and Changes
  • Updated TOC for 6.0
  • Added references to new Draenor maps
  • Re-arranged instance dropdown by continent

Known Bugs
  • Map doesn't size correctly in combat
  • Worgen starting area maps sometimes don't display correctly
  • Cannot choose "microdungeons" when you are not in them. Microdungeons are small zones within a zone. I.E. There is now a working map for the Caverns of Time.


INSTALLATION:
=============
Extract ALL folders in the archive to the Interface\AddOns\ location. If you wish the Instance maps to be populated with default information, then on first installation you will need to select 'Extended Options' from the MetaMap menu.
Select the 'Database' tab, then click 'Load Imports'. This will enable the default import button, 'Import Instance Notes'. Click on the 'Import' button to import the data.

ISSUES/COMPATIBILITIES:
=======================
Some addons may reset the map to gather location data.
If there is a map which is not showing because it is now built in if you zoom out, it will show correctly.
Map will not scale in combat

There were some parameters in the internal map list which I was not sure what to change them to when I added the new Blizzard instance maps. So if you notice anything strange when showing instance maps please post in the comments.

This version works on 5.0. It should be aware of all the new Mists of Pandaria map data. If you find any errors please post into the comments section.

There is no method for converting all the old notes to the correct locations on the maps. You might want to clear all the notes and start over.

* fix to the MetaMap tracker for the data collection from the shown tooltip (hooksecurefunc to "Show" of the GameTooltip in MetaMap_SetWorldMap() is not working, because it is not executed during the display of the tooltip)
* added new icons for MoP to the tracker
* fix for crash or freeze of WoW with MetaMap in combination with MobMap (the QuestTracker of MobMap causes a crash of freeze if it is called to often, so I had to limit the execution of the event WORLD_MAP_UPDATE to once per 0.5 seconds)

This error is specific to the Beta and the error is in blizzard's addon. This error will not appear in 4.0.3 on the live servers.

Locking up

When I click on the 'Options' button, and select any of the items starting with "General options" and below, it locks up the game and I have to hard reset the computer.

Is this a known problem?

You can't even kill wow.exe? you have to power off the computer? I havent heard this, I can't even begin to imagine how the addon could do that. The most it should do is crash to desktop. You might have a bad sector on the harddrive that you are hitting when the options change (it autosaves the change as soon as you make it, this is how WoW does it, not the add on). The bad sector is causing it to appear hung. Let it sit in a hung state for 5 or 10 mins and see if it recovers.

I let it sit in the hang state until I got disconnected from the server, wouldn't do anything.

I can't even bring up the Windows task manager to try to kill the game that way. It's weird, I've had addons that crashed the game before, but I've never seen one like this that I can reproduce every time.

When you got disconnected were you able to log back in? or was the system frozen.

Have you run a chkdsk to check for bad sectors on the harddrive? Can you disable all addons but MetaMap and see if you can still reproduce it.

Apparently, it is a conflict with another addon. I disabled everything but Metamap and it works now.

Now, I just have to find which one.

Fixed!

I think I found the culprit.

Ever since the developer announced that Questhelper would no longer be maintained, I've kept it disabled in the hope that someone would pick it up again.

A few days ago, I noticed that another author had introduced "Questhelper Lite", an addon that had some but not all of QH's functionality.

I'm not sure if it's written poorly or what the deal is, but it doesn't want to play nice with Metamap. I've deleted it, and everything else appears to be humming along now. Thanks for the suggestions!

Re: Fixed!

I think I found the culprit.

Ever since the developer announced that Questhelper would no longer be maintained, I've kept it disabled in the hope that someone would pick it up again.

A few days ago, I noticed that another author had introduced "Questhelper Lite", an addon that had some but not all of QH's functionality.

I'm not sure if it's written poorly or what the deal is, but it doesn't want to play nice with Metamap. I've deleted it, and everything else appears to be humming along now. Thanks for the suggestions!
I would be curious to know if you disable metamap, does questhelper lite work correctly.

I never really had a problem with them working together.

The only problem I encountered was when I tried to access some of the options on the pulldown, and that was only a problem because I wanted to change the 'unexplored' color.

With the changes made to quest functionality in the game, QH is no longer needed anyway, so I'm good.

I had to do other things. So my answer is a little late.

On (lines 1220 to 1232) you set Metamap Tracker to False, then do an IF on the value. Since this value can't change before you test it, I assume you don't need the test anymore.
Right, you can also comment out the if-statement.
I made only necessary changes.
But the lines with "MetaMapOptions.MetaMapTracker = false;" and "MetaMap_LoadTRK(2);" are needed.

german localization

Highlight problem

Hi, the highlight doesn't work anymore in my case. When I click on a note in my list on the side it doesn't show it on the map. I tried to disable every addons except MetaMap, but it still doesn't work. Is that a known problem? It's really annoying because that is one of the best feature of this addon
Hope you have a solution!
thanks

Do you know when this functionality disappeared? I added code to 4.0.6 to re-enable it, but I had to write the code from scratch. I couldn't find anywhere that would do this, but was broken.

Let me know if it works the way you wanted it, or if I misunderstood. The highlighted note will go back to the last note entered when you close the map and reopen.
