    Version: 4.0.30100
    by: keithgabryelski [More]

    Shades the area of all Northrend and Outland maps with the location of Rare Spawns.

    API added (see RSO-API.lua)
    Portraits of rare spawns and common data moved to LibRareSpawns (also a new project).
    Stuff shuffled around to make way for new add-on (coming within the week).

    Version 1.1.30100 (May 2, 2009):
    Updated some maps including Howling Fjord (Perobas the Bloodthirster) and Zul'Drak (added Gondria)
    Included Outland Maps for all known rare spawns

    Thanks
    fixed in version 3.1

    It looks like this is a general problem with showing the battlefield map (shift-M) as well as other mods.

    But it never happened before, only when I enable Rare Spawn Overlay the current zone is fixed and the map can't be changed.
    As soon as I disable this addon I can change zones on the map and they stay active.

    Re: Re: Re: map change not working
    For some reason the size of this addon's folder as appearing on disk is over 58 megs. How is that possible? lol

    Also, any way to lock the current selections in place to hide the checkmarks when we dont need them?

    Thanks.

    The overlay images are uncompressed. If anyone has a suggestion on how to create compressed .blp files, please make it.

    You can hide the legend "/rso hide worldlegend"

    Hi,

    thx for youre nice Addon, but can you make it to work with Carbonites Worldmap? Carbonite clones the Data from orginal Worldmap to Carbonites Worldmap (so you can see Herbs + others). Why i whish this.. with carbonite its easy to mark a Waypoint and flight to him... now a have to open the orginal Worldmap every time to see.. iam on the correct Way?

    Best Regards

    Carbonite support is low on my list of things to do. The main reason is the first paragraph in their license agreement:
    PLEASE READ THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") CAREFULLY AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IT.
    The accompanying executable code version of CARBONITE and related documentation ("Software") is made available under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. IF YOU INSTALL OR USE THE PRODUCT, YOU CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS HEREIN, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS PRODUCT.
    I'm sure there is more in the license agreement i disagree with, but, this is the start: i don't understand their license agreement and am uninterested in helping them proliferate software that has agreements I can't understand in 10 seconds or less.

    You do realize that paragraph is NOT the agreement, right? The actual agreement is the stuff you have apparently not read.

    Clarification: You are disagreeing to agree to terms that you have not actually read. On this same note, you are proliferating WoW's software by creating a addon for it, even though the license is more-or-less the same. If you have trouble understanding Carbonite's license then I have severe doubts you've read and fully understand Blizz's. And for that matter, you shouldn't be using addons at all since they are all under the protection of copyright, which, again, is basically the same thing in another fashion. Hell, the internet explorer you're using has a license agreement, yet you still use it and probably just clicked through it like 95% of people do.

    Seriously, not knocking your decision to not support Carbonite. Every author is entitled to support/decline support for any mod they chose. Just don't try to hide your reasoning behind "I won't do it because I don't understand the license" as EVERYTHING is licensed in some way or another and they are all pretty much written the same way (copy/paste/change info). A simple "I don't plan to support Carbonite" will suffice.

    I don't plan to support Carbonite because I don't like their license agreement.

    I can't imagine that isn't plain enough for anyone.

    forget those heavy images.... and check how others addons do (I think about QuestHelper, or Routes...)

    They have "points" which isn't to my liking.

    If I could figure out how to draw and fill an area of an image i would do that.

    There are other solutions, cropping comes to mind -- which just requires work on my part, but I don't see it time worthy.

    Another solution is chunking points in the way (I'm guessing) carbonite does its work -- I find that distasteful, but a last resort.

    and then there is compression of the images. I've tried tga compression, those files are almost twice the blp files (which are supposedly uncompressed). If anyone knows how to create compressed blp files, please send me some pro tips

    Basically, disk space is free these days -- i'm less interested in finding a solution that merely saves that, but am working on solutions that will overcome the problem as a side-effect.

    You know I really wanted to use this mod, but since it doesn't work with Carbonite, there's not much I can do with it. :/
