Description
***********
Adds a note system to the WorldMap helping you keep track of interesting locations.
MapNotes(Fan's Update) also provides a Plugin interface for other AddOns to take advantage of the note making ability. AlphaMap(Fans Update) uses this interface to allow Note creation on AlphaMap Maps of Instances, BattleGrounds, and World Boss Maps. This version of MapNotes comes with in-built support for creation of notes on Atlas maps, also using this Plugin interface.
For these purpose MapNotes offers the following main functions:
1. Marking notes on the WorldMap
2. Showing one of these notes on the MiniMap (see MiniNote)
3. Allows any other AddOn to use MapNotes note creation ability to mark notes on frames within their own AddOn :
- Marking notes on AlphaMap (Fan's Update) Instance maps
- Marking notes on Atlas maps
"/tloc" can be used to toggle this AddOns minimap coordinates instead of Thottbott's minimap coordinates.
NOTE : PLEASE still use "/mn -tloc xx,yy" to place a Thottbott marker on the map. "/tloc" ONLY toggles Minimap Coordinates.
Should be compatible with both Cartographer and MetaMap, although you may no longer be able to create notes on the map with the in-built functionality provided by those AddOns - only with the functionality provided by MapNotes (Fan's Update).

Features
********
[Key Bindings]
==============
QuickNote/TargetNote
--------------------
Creates a quicknote at the Player's current location if the Player has no target.
If the Player does have a target, then it will create a note for that target at the Player's current location.
-OR CLICK MINIMAP COORDINATES-
If you are NOT targetting anything, then ALT-Left-Click on the Minimap Coordinates to create a QuickNote.
If you are targetting something, then ALT-Left-Click to create a Target note with details about the current target at the PLAYER'S current location - you will be warned if you are too near to an existing note to create a new note.
(Slash Command "/mn -t" also available)
TargetNote/MergeNote
--------------------
Creates a note for the Player's target at the Player's current location.
OR Merges the details for the Player's current target in to a Map Note that has already been created at the Player's current location.
MUST have targetted a Player/NPC/Mob for this to work.
-OR CLICK MINIMAP COORDINATES-
If you are targetting something, then you may also ALT-Right-Click on the Minimap Coordinates if you wish to create a note for your Target at the PLAYER'S current location. However, if a MapNote already exists at Player's location, then the details will be merged with the existing note.
(Slash Command "/mn -m" also available)
[Fast Note Creation/Editing/Deleting]
=====================================
- <Control> <Alt> Right-click on a MAP/FRAME to create a Quicknote at that point
- <Control> <Alt> Right-click on a NOTE to quickly go to the note Editing Frame
- <Control> <Alt> Left-clicking to drag NOTES to new positions
- <Alt> Right-click on a NOTE to toggle it as a Minimap note
- <Alt> <Shift> DOUBLE Right-click on a note to quickly delete it.
- <Control> <Shift> Right-click will create a temporary blue Group note on a map
If created on a World map, then it will also be displayed in the Minimap for you to track
If in a Raid group, then the note will be shared with other Raid members who have MapNotes installed
Otherwise, if in a Party, then the note will be shared with the Party members who have MapNotes installed
Otherwise, its just your own quick temporary marker ;)
[Slash Commands] - NOTE : See separate file "LegacySlashCommands.txt" for old style commands
================
/mapnote OR /mapnotes OR /mn
Use without any other parameters to see which version of MapNotes is installed, and access the list of available Slash Commands.
Otherwise can be used to insert a Map Note by a slash command (which you can create in the Send Menu), for example, to put a note at the Entrance of Stormwind City on the map Elwynn Forest:
"/mapnote k<WM Elwynn> x<0.320701> y<0.491480> t<Stormwind> i1<Entrance> i2<> cr<ciphersimian> i<0> tf<0> i1f<0> i2f<0>"
NOTE: The above would all be on one line Description of the identifiers:
k<#> - Key based on the map name from GetMapInfo() prefixed by "WM " (English name on all clients - never localised) Varies for other AddOns using the Plugin functionality
x<#> - X coordinate, based on the GetPlayerMapPosition() function
y<#> - Y coordinate, based on the GetPlayerMapPosition() function
t<text> - Title for the MapNote
i1<text> - first line of text displayed under the Title in the MapNote (Info 1)
i2<text> - second line of text displayed under the Title in the MapNote (Info 2)
cr<text> - Creator of the MapNote
i<#> - icon to use for the MapNote, AddOns/MapNotes/POIIcons/Icon#.tga
tf<#> - color of the Title, AddOns/MapNotes/POIIcons/Color#.tga
i1f<#> - color of the Info 1 line (colors as above)
i1f<#> - color of the Info 2 line (colors as above)
mn<1> - (optional) If included, then a value of 1 will set the note as a mininote also. Any other value and the note will NOT be set as a mininote.
/mn -allow OR /mn -a
Allows you to receive the next note, even if you have disabled receiving in the options. If invoked with no parameters, it will toggle the current state.
/mn -automini
Shows the next note created (using any method) as a MiniNote and also puts it on the WorldMap. If invoked with no parameters, it will toggle the current state.
/mn -allmini
Toggle all MapNotes off/on as Mininotes
(Keybinding also available)
/mn -nextmini
Shows the next note created (using any method) as a MiniNote and also puts it on the WorldMap. If invoked with no parameters, it will toggle the current state.
/mn -minionly
Like the previous command, but doesn't put the note on the WorldMap.
/mn -minioff
Turns the MiniNote off.
/mn -tloc tbX,tbY
Sets a "Thottbot location" on the map. Use it with no arguments to toggle it off.
See the Section on Formatting of X,Y Coordinates
/mn -q [icon] [name]
Adds a note at your current location, icon and name are optional (icon any number from 0 to 9, AddOns/MapNotes/POIIcons/Icon#.tga)
If no [name] is passed, then the Note will be named based on the MiniMap Text, and the second/third lines will be populated with more zone information and/or the default QuickNote text.
/mn -qtloc xx,yy [icon] [name]
See the Section on Formatting of X,Y Coordinates
Adds a note on the map you are currently on at the given thottbot location, icon and name are optional (icon any number from 0 to 9, AddOns/MapNotes/POIIcons/Icon#.tga)
NEW SLASH COMMANDS IN MapNotes(Fan's Update)
/mn -s [search text]
If you want to search for a note, to see if one exists, or where it is, then you can use this command, and MapNotes will print out a report in the chat window, displaying the names of all maps which have a note containing that text
/mn -hl [note name]
If you have lots of notes and want to clearly identify a single one on a map, or if you want a certain note to remain highlighted, then use this command and they will be displayed with a green circle around them.
If there are several notes with that name or containing that text, then they will ALL be highlighted.
The note name does not have to be case sensitive, and doesn't have to be an exact match - all notes containing the [note name] text will be highlighted.
If the EXACT NAME is specified (not case-sensitive), the note will also be marked as a MiniNote on the Minimap
/mn -mapc
Toggle the display of Player and Cursor Coordinates on the World Map
Control-Left-Click and drag the coordinates to move them to a different position on the World Map if you are not happy with the default.
/mn -minic
Toggle the display of Player coordinates below the Minimap.
/mn -t [icon] [name]
Creates a quicknote at the Player's current location if the Player has no target.
If the Player does have a target, then it will create a note for that target at the Player's current location, icon and name are optional (icon any number from 0 to 9, AddOns/MapNotes/POIIcons/Icon#.tga)
/mn -m
Creates a note for the Player's target at the Player's current location.
OR Merges the details for the Player's current target in to a Map Note that has already been created at the Player's current location.
MUST have targetted a Player/NPC/Mob for this to work.
/mn -scale [0.5 - 1.5]
The size of MapNotes Menus and Frames are now fixed no matter what the scale of the World Map or other AddOn Map being used.
This command can be used to change the default size of MapNotes Menus and Frames if the user finds it too small or large.
The default value is 0.7
Therefore "/mn -scale 1.0" will make the Menus and Frames appear larger than they do by default.
/mn -undelete
Will undelete the last deleted MapNote.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE IMPORT FUNCTIONS BELOW
All of the functions below are mainly designed for people who have just installed MapNotes (Fan's Update). If you have been using this version of MapNotes for some time already, and have your own notes, then these functions may overwrite your existing notes. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
/script MapNotes_ImportCarto()
NOTE: only works with English localisation currently
If you want to move from Cartographer 2 to MapNotes, then log in to the game with both AddOns enabled, ust the above command, after which you will receive notification in the chat window on how many notes have been imported.
/MapNotes_Import_MetaMap
If you want to move from MetaMapNotes to MapNotes, then log in to the game with both AddOns enabled, use the above command, after which you will receive notification in the chat window on how many notes have been imported; Then log out, and disable MetaMap. Don't try to use MapNotes at the same time as MetaMap for any other purposes, as the results may be unpredictable
/MapNotes_Import_AlphaMap
If you have AlphaMap installed, and want to convert the in-built Instance and World Boss notes in to MapNotes notes, then use the above command, and you will see a message in the chat window informing you of how many notes have been imported in to MapNotes.
This does NOT import Battleground notes by default, as AlphaMap's in built Battleground functionality works best without MapNotes overlaying the BG Objectives.
NOTE: You don't have to import notes from AlphaMap, to make MapNotes on AlphaMap Instance/Battleground/WorldBoss maps. You can create any notes you like manually.
/MapNotes_Import_AlphaMapBG
As mentioned above, the basic "/MapNotes_Import_AlphaMap" command does not import Battleground notes by default. If you do want to import AlphaMap Battlegournd map notes, then use this command to do so.
/MapNotes_Import_CTMapMod
If you want to move from using CTMapMod to MapNotes (Fan's Update), then log in to the game with both AddOns enabled, use the above command, after which you will receive notification in the chat window on how many notes have been imported; Then log out, and disable CTMapMod.

Hi !
I use mapnotes since the beginning but I noticed you've made a change that I really don't like. You replaced the original icons with new huge rounded icons!!
Please, is there a way to keep everything you did, but set the icons back to the ordinary small squared icons??
Thank you very much! :D

I did what you suggested and renamed all zone names in the Cartographer.lua file to their German names and that really worked.
All notes were imported to MapNotes, thans for your help!
375 days ago
For English Clients only atm :
/script MapNotes_ImportCarto()
THE REASON FOR THE ISSUE
k, basically the database keys can be a little confusing.
MapNotes doesn't need to know the localised zone names that the player sees, because it fetches them at run time; The names stored in MapNotes are nothing to do with the zone names that the players see - they are in English, but they are the names used by the game itself in the background and are exactly the same on ALL localisations from French to Chinese.
Carto stores notes against zone names that English client players would see on the map, and then needs to store ALL the other localised names for zones and translates them manually itself depending on what language client you are using.
WHY THE COMMAND ONLY WORKS FULLY FOR ENGLISH CLIENT
In other words, when you load MapNotes on a German client, it knows the German name of zones, but not the English names that Carto is using.
So, the problem is that on my first attack on the problem I didn't want to include a whole lot of extra localisation data, or include a new set of localisation libraries, ONLY to support the one off use of the import_carto slash command.
Obviously where names are identical on different clients, your notes will have come across, but for languages like Chinese there will be NO overlap :(
WHAT I WILL DO NEXT
I will investigate to see if Carto's own localisation data is accessible to MapNotes when both are enabled and get back to you.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
After taking a back up copy of your Carto database, you could edit it with simple text editor like Notepad, and change the names of localisation dependant zones from their English name to their German name - you would have to be careful to make sure that the zone name matches EXACTLY the name of that zone in the World Map drop down box; Including umlauts, and special characters, etc.
Note that as far as Carto is concerned, the above action will corrupt your database, and the notes in those zones where you changed the name will disappear from Carto Notes.

Yes that's the problem doesn't work for zones that have different names on German client, haven't noticed that because zone names in the cartographer.lua file are all english.
Maybe there could be a feature to manually convert notes.
377 days ago
Carto seems to use localised names in its database file...
Which is why there was a warning that it might not work for other localisations - if you are using an english localisation and have an example, then let me know and i'll take a look.
I'll double check however, maybe I posted the wrong version of the script...
377 days ago
"/script MapNotes_ImportCarto()" seems only to work with notes in zones that have the same name in both addons .lua file, but some zones are named differently in Cartographer than in MapNotes and these notes are not imported.

@Strobi
Mmm, that's an odd error. I'm guessing its either caused by a bad install, or you have a strange timing issue that I never had in my testing. You could try re-installing with the latest version of MapNotes and MAKE SURE YOU OVERWRITE ALL EXISTING FILES.
Otherwise, I will try and put a double check in place in my next version to make sure the error doesn't happen. I will be releasing v5.12 in the next couple of days.

They're still optional, in that players can disable them from the AddOn screen before they log in.
But I want to package them with the main addon from now on to simplify how much addon updating I have to do.

Hi,
I use AlphaMap, MozzFullWorldMap, HandyNotes, Questhelper and of course MapNotes (Fan's Update).
After changing to MapNotes Version 5.10 I got the following error:
[2008/11/05 18:26:27-244-x1]: MapNotesBrowser-v1.00.30000MapNotesBrowser.lua:45: bad argument #1 to 'insert' (table expected, got nil)
MapNotesBrowser-v1.00.30000MapNotesBrowser.lua:45: in function <InterfaceAddOnsMapNotesBrowserMapNotesBrowser.lua:28>
Any idea what's wrong?

I noticed that the (optional?) addons "MapNotesIconLib" and "MapNotesForAtlas" are already included in this download, wanted to install them anyway but it was a bit confusing in the first way.

k,
I'm certainly thinking about this for the next release, but I won't be rushing out a new release with that feature ;)
Currently, I'm v. busy with AlphaMap Instance maps for WotLK.

Thank you very much! Fast work...what can be expected of one of the best mod coders around though...
Another question...would it be possible to add the Cartographer command to set a note as a waypoint in the right-click context menu on a note? I've slimmed cartographer down to just the main Cartographer folder, LookNFeel, Waypoints and ZoneInfo. The only reason for this is I like the waypoint arrow that pops up when you die, showing the way to your corpse. I also now miss being able to click a note and set it as the waypoint. The big arrow helps keep me on track when I'm multi tasking. Anyway, thanks for the import and all your help.

Changes in v5.11.30000 from v5.10.30000
=======================================
- introduced a way to import Cartographer notes
Log in with both Cartographer2 &amp; MapNotes;
Execute the following slash command script;
/script MapNotes_ImportCarto()
NOTE: sorry, but this may only work on an English client
(alhtough it should be safe to try it on other clients;
it just might not do much)

I've sent you a tinypaste link as well as the cartographer.lua for a sample. Thanks for considering the conversion module!

WTB : send me your Cartographer notes database files from your SavedVariable folders, and I will see what I can do to provide an import slash command.
I've had a few requests to provide this kind of import feature, but you've got to do your part and give me some data to work with :)

Changes in v5.10.30000 from v5.02.30000
=======================================
- added option to the basic menu's Special options to toggle the display of MapNotes notes
IF YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR OLD NOTES DO THE FOLLOWING :
Ctrl-Right click on the World Map
Mouse over the "Special" button
The "Show Notes" option should be checked in order to see notes.
If it isn't then click on it to toggle note display On.
- now includes a companion "MapNotesBrowser" AddOn
Open up the Note Browser frame by Control-Right-Clicking on a note frame like the World Map.
Then select the new menu item "MapNotes Browser"
A scroll list of notes within the current zone sorted alphabetically.
Filter listed notes via the provided text box.
Mouse over notes to highlight them on the map.
Right click to open the standard MapNotes right click menu to edit, delete, track notes via the Minimap.
Left click to bookmark a particular note, highlighting it on the map, and setting it as a Mininote.
When you have bookmarked a note, a red arrow in the top left of the frame will appear.
Mouse over the bookmark to see the note tooltip.
Left click the bookmark, and if made on a World Map, then the map will change to show the map with that note.
Right click to clear the bookmark.
Also allows you to carry out global searches for notes containing certain text, via the 'All Maps' button.
If you carry out an 'All Maps' global text search, then left clicking on World Map notes in different zones will open up that particular map.
This map changing feature only works with world map type notes, and not for custom-map AddOn notes.
(Disable from the AddOn screen before logging in if not required)
- added note location details to note tooltips
- fix to 1916 error when opening note edit frame by Ctrl-Alt-Right clicking
- fix to some note creation messages
396 days ago
Changes in v5.02.30000 from v5.01.30000
=======================================
- fix to prevent the taint of unit drop down Focus & ClearFocus buttons
- fix to make sure new notes are set as Mininotes if holding down the CONTROL key when Creating from right click menu
- manual fix available for re-positioning of Stormwind City notes
ONLY EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING SLASH COMMAND IF YOU NEED -ALL- OF YOUR STORMWIND CITY NOTES ADJUSTING
Your Stormwind City note positions will be scaled and shifted to account for the new city map
/script Stormwindy()
You should receive a message in the chat frame informing you of the number of notes that have been adjusted.
This fix will place old notes closer to where they should be on the new map, but I can't guarantee they will be EXACTLY where you want them.
Remember that it is easy to fine tune your MapNotes icon positions via the following MapNotes feature :
Hold down CONTROL & ALT and left-click drag your notes to move them, and leave them exactly where you need them.
- note icons now displayed in tooltip
(Of some use when mousing over closely packed notes (with different icons))
- some code clean up of globals, and consolidation of Tooltip display in to a single function
- some compatibility changes for new MapNotes Browser frame companion AddOn

Stormwind Notes
_______________
k, sorry I missed that this had changed ;)
All my testing has been in Northrend ;p
I have a couple of scripts that I think will work but I can't test them yet, so you have 2 options :
1.) MapNotes makes it quite easy to move notes manually.
Hold down CONTROL & ALT, and left click drag the notes to their new position
2.) Hang on a bit longer, and I will see if my script fix works... ;)
If anyone is desperate, and willing to test for me, then PM me ;p

Hi, Telic:
First, let me thank you for the information. I found everything and don't have an problems with MapNotes (Fan's Update) v.5.01.30000 and the German client. :)
Your idea of adding a note browser frame for sorting and filtering notes and so on is great. In MetaMap the points on the world map were highlighted when clicking on the note attached to it. I guess that what you are going to do too ;-)
I also would like to let you know, that I had to import my old MetaMap map notes again to MapNotes (Fan's Update) due to a computer crash. I did it the same way as the last time and as you are explaining in your description. Everything worked fine. I thaught this might be of interest to you and also to the community, since there still seem to be a couple of people around who used MetaMap prior to patch 3.0.2.
So, again Telic, you did a good and fast job and I would like to thank you as usual.
Best wishes,
Lisa

I'm always happy to receive requests / suggestions ;)
But that doesn't mean I will always implement them ;)
1.) MapNotes is just about notes on maps ;) So for unexplored area overlays, then you need MozzFullWorldMap :
http://wowui.worldofwar.net/?p=mod&m=2653
(Use /mfwm rainbow to choose your own colour)
2.) You can already set as many mapnotes as you like as Mininote icons and track them via the minimap - these are always local to the zone you are in, as I was never convinced of the need to see in which direction a differnt zone was located ;p
I've always found it more useful to have notes that can be tracked by the Minimap when I'm in that zone, and then are cleared from the minimap when I leave the zone...
However, I have been thinking of adding a Waypoint arrow like the original BetterWayPoints (possibly with global tracking capability)
First on my list of additions however is a note browser frame for sorting notes alphabetically, filtering notes, and doing global note searches...
3.) Right click on a MapNote, or CONTROL-Right click on the map and you will see an option called "Options"
4.) There's a section for MapNotes in the normal key bindings if that's what you mean... Create a QuickNote/TargetNote depending on if you have something targetted, TargetNote/MergeNote if you have something targetted, depending on whether you are near an existing note or not....
401 days ago
Map Notes (Fan Update) version 5.01.30000 works fine for me using the German client. Just wanted to let you know.
I might have missed a few features, so excuse me if I am wrong with asking for the following features:
1. Could you add an overlay module for unexplored areas, which may also be turned off? It would also be nice, if I could choose a color for this purpose.
2. Could you add the possibility to set waypoints? I really miss my "WoW navigator" telling me in which direction I ought to go and how far it is to get there.
3. Is there already a configuration/options window? Would it be possible to add one and have it's icon at the minimap? It would be much easier than remembering all those slash commands.
4. Is it also possible to change the key bindings? I always used SHIFT + "<" to add a note and would like to go back using these keys.
I hope not to nerv you with my requests. Off course I know, that you have lots of work to do when updating your mods and I really appreciate how fast and reliable you are ;-)
Greetings and best wishes,
Lisa

@mushpuppy
MapNotes doesn't change the size of the WorldMap tooltip - which means that the tooltip will inherit its size from the size of the WorldMap.
Have you changed the size of your WorldMap to be smaller ?
Cartographer? AlphaMap? Mapster? MetaMap? ??
Or have you used another AddOn to adjust the size of your tooltips somehow ?
Just out of interest do you have NotesUNeed installed ?
555 days ago
Not frames or icons. Is the tooltip the little thingy that pops up when you hover your mouse over an icon? If so, that's it!
The only thing I installed recently was Atlasloot. I don't see any reason why that would have affected the tooltip....Something sure made that little thingy unreadably small though.
BTW I love the mod, but I surely would like to fix this issue....
561 days ago
The map Icons ?
If so, then there is a slider for controlling their size on the MapNotes options screen. <Ctrl>-Right click on the WorldMap and select Options.
Or the size of the MapNotes Frames ?
Again, there is a slider for this on the MapNotes Options frame...
Or the Tooltip ?
If you mean the tooltip, then MapNotes doesn't change the size.
What Tooltip AddOn did you just install ?
I have to suspect another AddOn is causing the problem...

Changes in v4.16.20400 from v4.15.20300
=======================================
- support for differently shaped minimaps
Automatically works with SimpleMinimap
As it works with SimpleMinimap automatically, and wouldn't change much in other circumstances, there is no GUI control of this option. However, it is possible to manually specify the Minimap style you want via the following methods :
1.) use the following slash command to cycle through the available styles
"/mn -mstyle [#]"
Pass an optional number to specify a particular style.
Pass a zero to revert to a circular Minimap style.
See the Readme.txt file for a list of styles.
2.) use the provided key-binding to cycle through the available styles

Nope.
Line 1336 uses GetCVar("rotateMinimap") in order to work out whether you are using the Rotating Minimap Interface option.
i.e. it executes whether or not you have enabled the option
The only reason I can imagine that the error would occur would be if you were playing on a server that did not have that CVar variable...
In other words, an illegal Private Server running an older version of the Blizzard Game Client.

Does he get that error because he has selected to rotate the minimap instead of the arrow inside the minimap? Just a thought
692 days ago
@FIl666
I'm not sure why you have that error.
I have done most of my testing with Minimap Icons enabled, and have had no problems - but I will double check tomorrow.
Can you try changing your Interface options to enable rotating Minimap ?
(Or toggle it off for a while...)
You can turn it off/on again later on if you like, but I'm just wondering if that will help...
If you're running on a Server with an old version of WoW, then I won't support you - you'll have to find an old version of MapNotes and use that.

754 days ago
Obvious suggestions first :
Check that MapNotes is enabled in the AlphaMap Options?
Double check the "ShowNotes" option in the "Quick Options" drop down box on the World Map.
So you can open the MapNotes menus by <Control>-Right clicking on the AlphaMap frames? But the notes aren't being created?
If you create notes on the WorldMap, do they appear OK in AlphaMap?
If you can send me your MapNotes.lua SavedVariables database file I could take a look at it. --> telic@hotmail.co.uk
You could also try the following slash command to see if it helps :
/mn -datacheck
754 days ago
Since a longt time already mapnotes doesn't work for me with AlphaMap on German client. It cannot be created or delated with the small menu frame.
Only quicknotes are working, but now I cannot get rid of the, and cannot rename them.
