3.1 Fixes and Changes

* Fixed api calls that were changed in 3.1 so no errors are thrown
* Fixed the ability to add new notes
* Fixed the ability to change zones with the minimap on
* Fixed MetaMap to show the new WOTLK instance maps
* Fixed the ability to ediit party notes
* Fixed formating issues in MetaMapWKB module

* Added option to the General Options / MetaNotes tab to enable/disable the autofilling the notes title with the coordinates of the note. Defaults to disabled


When adding a note on a new instance map, MetaMap will print in the Chat area 3 notes: MapName, ZoneTable, and RealZoneText. If you have problems adding notes, please post in the comments this information.


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

I also found that if there is a map which is not showing because it is now built in if you zoom out, it will show correctly.

The following are the notes from the original 3.0 fan update. Thanks to Charroux for that.


3.0 Fan Update notes
---------------------------------------------------
All the modules seem to be working, but there are a few bugs still left. (There is at least 1 that I know of.) The Waypoint module (WKB) has been modified with a different arrow and text layout, and any <ctrl> click on it will hide the frame.

Note: The Stormwind map change in WotLK makes all the map notes and tracking data (TRK) incorrect for the entire city.


DESCRIPTION:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4788-MetaMap.html
============
MetaMap adds features to the WoW world map, keeping all mapping type features in a single place.
Some features are:

Adjust the map window size.
Move the map anywhere on the screen.
Adjust the opacity of the window & maps.
Saved sets for toggling between 2 map modes.
Allows full player movement, messaging, etc. with map open.
Adds coords to the main map and the Minimap
Adds Instance maps which open to the correct instance you enter.
Default data included for all bosses & locations etc.
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.
Boss Loot Tables displays all the loot dropped by bosses, and more.
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.

INSTALLATION:
=============
Extract ALL folders in the archive to the InterfaceAddOns 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 your map continuously jumps back to your current location when selecting another map,
it will be due to another addon resetting it. In most cases the authors have made changes
to correct this so, download the latest version of any conflicting addon.

I try my best... though I am kind of scared of Cataclysm. I hope they don't break MetaMap too much. Having real maps for all the old world instances will be very nice.

@Sapphire9132: just wondering why you didn't read the message right under yours?
682 days ago
I was wondering if anyone is going to update this mod for 3.0 WoW. I would really like for it to be updated. Thank you.
684 days ago
I posted a WotLK "fixed" verision until an official update comes out:
http://wowui.worldofwar.net/?p=mod&m=6646
or

comon Macreiben i have faith and yes my chat area was all white and non responsive like everyone else
686 days ago
Right now the best option for MetaMap is that Macreiben can manage to fix it once again as I really don't think Urshurak/Metahawk is going to bother. Sadly I've made the decision to delete MetaMap and use Cartographer. I really do hope that MetaMap does get fixed and updated by someone, but until then, as it is right now it's pretty much useless.

@ThorsLiebling
Good suggestion, however, there is a slight problem. MetaMap is breaking the chat frames for many users, don't know if everyone is affected the same way but for me and my friends who use MetaMap, we couldn't even type anything!
686 days ago
@ all who still use MetaMap:
Switch to Telics Map Notes (Fan Update). You will find it here:

http://wowui.worldofwar.net/?p=mod&m=3361

You are able to transfer all of your MeataMap mapnotes to the database of MapNotes (Fan Update) via a slash command:

How to transfer the map notes from MetaMap to MapNotes (Fan Update):
1. Download MapNotes (Fan Update) and install in your addons folder (be sure to backup your WTF folder as usual!!!)
2. Activate both mods - MetaMap AND MapNotes and log in with one of your chars
3. type the following slash command ===> /MapNotes_Import_MetaMap (you will receive a notification in your chat window about having imported your notes)
4. log out, disable MetaMap and end game; finally you may delete your MetaMap folders in your WoW addon folder. That's it ;-D

By the way, Telic is always very fast and reliable in updating his mods and also in reading bug reports. :)

i really hope someone can fix this to work with the new patch. i have all these waypoints and stuff saved for leveling and whatnot. so used to using it and point the way to the next place i need to go.

Handy...since Curse is no longer feeding any files due to bandwidth overload. In this case...it doesn't matter anyway because it hasn't been updated and the old version breaks the chat window as of 3.0.2

I really love MM, I have used it constantly for a couple of years now, and I don't mean to seem unappreciative of all the work that's gone in to it...but boy is it irritating when a mod project just gets abandoned like this. At least post a notice to the various community sites and see if someone else would be willing to pick it up. Now I've got two years worth of knowledge base, personal notes, etc that are lost and I can't get them back unless someone decides to pick this project up again.

Zippo you need to make back ups of your \World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YOURACCOUNT\SavedVariables

And copy this file: MetaMap.lua, and put it on a location of your choosing .. before you install a new version. I could be wrong but I think if you rename it to MetaMapEXP.lua and put it in your MetaMapCVT directory.. after you have installed and a new metamap and do imports after you have logged into game, it should copy your notes over. I wish I had done this long ago, I lost many personal notes. I was getting errors a lot recently so I have given up Metamap for Cartographer. You can import your metamap notes into cartographer, by having both of them loaded.. loggin into game.. then log out.. go to addons.. uncheck metamap stuff.. and then log back in.. should be on the Cartographer map now.

I am having a problem with metamap. Every few months or so all(its happenned 3 times so far) of my settings and notes are gone from metamap. If i do the import i can get the mineral nodes back but none of my notes. After this happens i update to the newest version and have to add all of my notes back in.Is there a backup of my notes somewhere? Does anybody else have this problem. Is there a better map addon to use (thinking of trying Cartographer).
975 days ago
That's not the original author... if you click on 'metamap' on the right side, you can see the blog entries, the first of which says:
"Since the last change of the wow API, Metahawk didn't update his addon.

I used it for a long time and no update seems to come. So I patched the last version available on curse.com to make it work with the actual version of the API."

That being said, I just downloaded it as I really miss it...
979 days ago
To get the latest version of this wonderful plugin, go to the author's site and download it directly: http://www.macreiben.net/?2007/11/21/74-metamap-rc2-20300-patch-23
979 days ago
All you need to do is set it to load anyway. Just because it's out of date doesn't mean it stopped working.

I'm redownloading this as I lost my hard drive. Still like it a lot better than Cartographer. Shame the author cannot be found. :(

Just open the Metamap.lua with any text editor (Word, Notepad or anything like that).
Search for "MiniMapTrackingFrame" (line 923)
Replace it with "MiniMapTracking"

Tada!!

He has now posted a new version for the latest WoW patch, which apparently fixes the error
1023 days ago
Alrightie! I got mine to work; just delete line #923 in Metamap.lua
OR
Do a search for MiniMapTrackingFrame:Hide();

It seems we are in luck...see this posting on curse gaming's site...
Hi all

I used MetaMap for a long time, and since no update ios coming, I patch MetaMap to make it work with the 20200 API.

I test it for 2 days - however it is possible it has still problems. Here is the link to the archive :

http://www.macreiben.net/?Metamap [macreiben.net]

Does anybody know what happend to the creator of the addon ?

I don't know if I have the right to post a link in a comment. If it is "wrong" juste tell me by pm ;).

If you find out any bug let me know by pm too, I'll be watching..

Back ups are saved in the Saved Variables folder under WTF as .bak files. If you copied the SV folder beforehand, you will need to restore this to retrieve your files.

Where is the back-up data stored? I had several issues with the game lately, and received Blizzard's stock answer; delete interface, WTF, and cache, disable all mods. WEll, I've had this before, so I thought I'd be smart and copy my add-ons folder, but when I hit restore in MetaMap, it said no data. Was all of this in cache?

The metamap quest addon appears to be broken when it comes to quest items. The bit that will say something like "Milly's Vintage -- 1/8" text is not shown, unless you mouse over it very carefully and catch it before the screen redraws it out. This problem does not occur with other quest modules, and is definately a problem with this module, as I disabled all other addons to be sure where the problem was at.

i agree danuke, metamap is one kick ass addon.

Gad!! I hope that we have not lost the talents of Urshurak!! When working, this is, in my opinion, one of the top 5 mods out there.

If anyone is using Lightheaded and wants the links to work with MetaMap, here's how. Whenever you click on a coordinate link in Lightheaded, it will create a note in MetaMap, bring up MetaMap, ping the note (or the nearest note if one already existed near the location), and bring up the waypoint popup. Links within comments will add the note to the current zone, so make sure you're in the proper zone before clicking. Some coords, such as those for NPCs, actually have zone information in them and will automatically put the map into the proper zone before adding the note.

NOTE: The following code unfortunately won't have any tabs or spaces in front of it, so the formatting will look off.


1. Install MetaMap and Lightheaded (you can find Lightheaded at http://www.wowinterface.com )
2. In the main Lightheaded directory in your AddOns folder, load the "Lightheaded.lua" file into your favorite text editor.
3. Find the function "LightHeaded:OnHyperlinkClick"
4. Within this function, look for the following code:

if TomTom then
TomTom:AddWaypoint(x, y, note)
end

5. Insert the following code AFTER the above code:

-- MetaMap support by CaptCrunch
if(MetaMap_SetNewNote) then
local qid,cid,rating,indent,parent,date,poster,comment = self:GetQuestComment(lhframe.title, lhframe.level, lhframe.current_page-1)
local mapName = GetZoneText()
local cx = x/100
local cy = y/100
local name = "Quest: "..lhframe.title
local creator = "LightHeaded"
local inf1 = "Poster: "..poster
local inf2 = "Date: "..date

local noteAdded, noteID = MetaMap_SetNewNote(mapName, cx, cy, name, inf1, inf2, "LightHeaded", 4, 1, 2, 3, nil)
if(MetaMap_ShowLocation) then
if (not noteAdded and MetaMap_CheckNearNotes) then
-- If the note wasn't added, find a nearby note
noteID = MetaMap_CheckNearNotes(zoneName, cx, cy)
if (not noteID) then noteID = nil end
end
-- Opens the map and shows the location. If note was already
-- added, noteID will be nil and the routine should search
-- for the name of the note
MetaMap_ShowLocation(mapName, name, noteID)
if (noteID and BWP_ShowNoteMenu) then
-- Brings up the waypoint popup
BWP_ShowNoteMenu(noteID)
end
end
end
-- End MetaMap support

6. Search for the following text, again within the "LightHeaded:OnHyperlinkClick" function:

if TomTom and type(TomTom.AddZWaypoint) == "function" then
TomTom:AddZWaypoint(c, z, x, y, note)
elseif TomTom then
self:Print("NPC locations are not supported in this version of TomTom.")
end

7. Insert the following code AFTER the above code:

-- MetaMap support by CaptCrunch
if(MetaMap_SetNewNote) then
local zone = select(z, GetMapZones(c))
local mapName = zone
local cx = x/100
local cy = y/100
local name = "NPC: "..note
local creator = "LightHeaded"
local inf1 = ""
local inf2 = ""

local noteAdded, noteID = MetaMap_SetNewNote(mapName, cx, cy, name, inf1, inf2, "LightHeaded", 2, 1, 2, 3, nil)
if(MetaMap_ShowLocation) then
if (not noteAdded and MetaMap_CheckNearNotes) then
-- If the note wasn't added, find a nearby note
noteID = MetaMap_CheckNearNotes(zoneName, cx, cy)
if (not noteID) then noteID = nil end
end
-- Opens the map and shows the location. If note was already
-- added, noteID will be nil and the routine should search
-- for the name of the note
MetaMap_ShowLocation(mapName, name, noteID)
if (noteID and BWP_ShowNoteMenu) then
-- Brings up the waypoint popup
BWP_ShowNoteMenu(noteID)
end
end
end
-- End MetaMap support

8. Save the "Lightheaded.lua" file

I am really having some trouble making this Mod work. I have removed all other mods that i had installed. It simply doesn't show up as anything different. I am very new to this, So if someone could just point me in the right direction i would really appriciate it

I figured it out. I didn't know i had to go to the add on's screen on the character select.

It's bugged on the test server (2.3) - gives a bug each time you enter the game. Many things works but it doesn't save the configuration between sessions - and the maps on the note have become TINY.

yeah this mod is quality... hopefully it will get updated, mines busted

Just uploaded the latest WoW patch, 2.2.3 and Metamap seems to be functioning perfectly now...bizarre!

hi there!
i thisk this mod is fantastic.
With the last patch i have an issue on load, when i open the map many option i have used before being resetted.
I cannot find a metamap update, is the dev of this mod still developingit?
1059 days ago
Things not looking good on the update front are they? In the hope that Urshurak will return to this at some point it may be useful to start a list of bits that don't work with the latest patch. I'll kick off with:-
- Metamap BWP still works (i.e. calculates the correct distance and general direction) but the WP icon mini-map moves around when you do.
- On entering an instance Metamap WKB is reset and the existing Knowledge Base is wiped. (Back up your WKB file now!)

Is there a fan update anywhere because it seems this version isn't updating itself anytime soon......

It would be nice if Urshurak would place a short comment here for the community.

I also still use MetaMap. But I have a problem when entering instances. They aren't being recognized with the German client. I have this bug since a few months and was waiting for an update ever since this problem occured :-(

Urshurak updated his MetaHud addon yesterday (29th Sep) so there may yet be hope of seeing an update for MetaMap soon! So far I've had no problems with using v20100-2 under WoW 2.2, so either use the "Load Out-of-date Addons" option or edit all the toc files to update the toc to 20200.

im still using this mod with out any errors albeit i am only using MetaMap and MetaMap FWM.

This is a great addon. I hope it gets an update soon. I keep getting errors even using the load out of date addons button at login.

Is somebody going to take over this mod? Urshurak does not seem to get back to it anymore ;-(
1071 days ago
At the Character Screen, down on the bottom left, there's an addons button.

Click it, then take note of whether or not the Load Out-of-date Addons checkbox is checked.

Do that...and it will work. Just enable outdatet addons...it will work.

But also been told to check cartographera
