MobMap v3.53 for WoW 3.3.0

So there it is - the new WoW patch and the new MobMap version. I hope it doesn't cause too many unforeseen problems and stuff.

This time there have actually been a number of changes, mostly to adapt to patch 3.3 and the enhanced capabilities of the Blizzard UI. The new "sync completed quests with server" functionality is now supported of course, and I've tried to integrate the new quest helping system of the default UI as good as possible into MobMap's own quest tracker (which I personally still consider far superior to Blizzards' one, even with basic quest helping features now directly integrated into the game). All of this still has to prove its worth "in the field" though, so expect updates during the next days and weeks if any issues arise.

[edit] Just released v3.51, which fixes the error message floods when trying to accept or complete a quest at a questgiver as well as those dot positioning issues with the newest version of Mapster and some button positioning issue. I'd love to fix any Cartographer problems, too, but right at the moment there ain't no official Patch 3.3 version of good ol' Cartographer out there as far as I know, and fixing bugs with an out-of-date addon just isn't the real thing.

[edit2] Another quick release: v3.52 - I unfortunately forgot some debug code in v3.51, so this release should fix that small error (hopefully before too many people got the erroneous 3.51 version).

------------------------------
changelog v3.50:
- changed: MobMap is now WoW patch 3.3 compatible
- added: A new button to synchronize the "finished" flag of quests with the server was added to the quests database view
- changed: The classic "question mark buttons" in the original quest tracker and quest log have been changed into a MobMap-specific styled button to clearly distinguish them from Blizzards' own new quest helper buttons
- changed: The behavior of the MobMap quest tracker when a quest title is clicked has been altered to match the behavior of the Blizzard quest tracker
- added: When a question mark for a quest target in the MobMap quest tracker is clicked, the corresponding quest in Blizzards' quest POI system is selected too, if possible
- added: An additional "B"-style button has been added in the MobMap quest tracker next to quest titles. This button displays Blizzards' POI marker for that quest on the map.
- added: MobMap can now display the exact positions of mobs in instances (provided that there is a map for the instance, like it's the case with all post-WotLK instances)

v3.51:
- fixed: Error messages when getting a quest or returning a quest at a questgiver
- fixed: Wrong dot positioning on the map if the Mapster addon is used
- fixed: Wrong positioning of the MobMap button on the smaller map

v3.52:
- fixed: removed some debug code I forgot in v3.51 ;-)

v3.53:
- fixed: A bug in the data collection mechanisms

  1. Joey says:

    When I'm about to finish a quest, on the "complete quest" screen, the game goes down to exactly 9.6 fps. This only happens when I have mobmap enabled. Other than this the addon is a great addition to any WoW player. Keep up the good work

  2. none says:

    yeah, it starts throwing hundreds of errors when you are at a quest giver, whether for pickup or turnin i believe

  3. Cartman says:

    When I use Mapster as a map replacement MobMap displays the dots at the wrong position. They seem to be at that position where they would be if the map had the full size without Blizzard's new questhelper.

    Also I have problems when searching for quest objectives from the questlog. I get the message that the objective cannot be found. Clicking on the icon at the tracker works.
    I use QuestGuru as queslog and tracker but when I deactivate QG searching out of the log does not work properly.

  4. Moatu says:

    I use mapster, too. A workaround for the moment might be to disable the quest objectives and set the zoom level of mapster to 112%. This will put the marks at the right position.
    It has to be a problem with mobmap, not mapster, for Handynotes or Gathermate will put the notes at the correct position.

    This is my LUA error message that i got when i wanted to eccept a quest from a questgiver:

    Another problem is:
    I use TomTom combined with MobMap...on the right side of the screen I have that list of quests...so when i leftclick on one of the "?" to enable that "Crazy Arrow" and let TomTom navigate me to that questgoal, the whole interface (action bars, titanpanel, my character portrait, just everything) disappears. When i press ESC, i get everything back, even the "Crazy Arrow" appears above my char. But then the game is kinda frozen. I still can move my char in the game, but cant cast, cant click on anything. Even when i press ESC, nothing happens, no menu, just nothing. So i have to force windows to close WoW and then restart WoW. It must be a problem of MobMap, but dont know what it is. Sorry its hard to explain in english, i am german :-S
    MobMap is my favourite addon, so i hope we get it fixed :) Thanks a lot in advance..

  7. Comicus says:

    Having same problem. I am not using any mapping other than Blizz at the moment.

  8. Comicus says:

    I always used the suppress map feature and would get the same screen as you did. When I removed the suppress map everything worked as it should.

    Slarti may be able to reproduce the same thing now.

    I didn't have anything loaded except MobMap and got the "bug". Hope this helps...

  9. Jim says:

    Seems to be the same problem with cartographer addons aswell. The coordinates are way out.

    Had a few Lua errors pop up but nothing major.

    Hope this gets fixed soon as I love MobMap

    Thanks

    just got this two errors when I turned in the fishing quest in Dalaran:

  11. Darkenya (again) says:

    Hi and thanks for a very good update. No more huge lags and LUA error messages for me when i go to a questgiver. TomTom still doesnt work with MobMap though as mentioned above :( TomTom has already been updated for the WoW patch, so would be great if you could fix that bug. Thanks a lot in adavance :)

  12. Slarti says:

    Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce this bug; I've tested TomTom with MobMap and they both do work here. Have you tried disabling all other addons except those two to find out if a third addon is involved in the problem?

  13. Comicus says:

    Try it with the Suppress Map feature selected. Screen locks when I try it that way.

  14. Spitt says:

    Long time fan, thank you. This is one of my most recommended addons for users at my site.

    Is there any way, you can make it work with Carbonite (carboniteaddon.com)?

  15. X-R4Y says:

    Could you add a feature to ACP (Addon Control Panel), that the databases would load as categorys? It would make it a little smarter and cleaner for sorting addons.

  16. kaepteniglo says:

    I tested the "Synchronise finished Quests" feature. It says: "synchronized 3571 finished quests".

    But in the Quests-search-system of Mobmap Quests in e.g. "Brachland" aren't marked as completed because i couldn't start the quest at the questgiver. Is there a little synchronization-problem?

  17. Joe says:

    Please add an option to allow the PlayerArrow to move (and possibly be larger) while the World Map is displayed. It was a simple feature of Cartographer everyone may appreciate.

    Thanks for the great add on.

  18. kilrah says:

    Is there a way to pick which quests are tracked instead of all of them?

  19. Achim says:

    For quite some time now it seems, that none of my comments I create for quests ever make it into the MobMap-database.

    I've played several low level horde characters in a row now and ran through the same quests I created comments on weeks and months ago and I don't get to see these comments on those quests.

    It's hard to track that since one has no option to get an overview on own comments made in the past, but I'm quite sure on this matter.

    When Show estimated distance

  22. MoonLite says:

    - What happens:
    My entire interface disappears
    (as if pressing alt-z, but not the same apparently, as pressing alt-z again does get the UI back, but you can't interact with NPCs or press ESC key to bring up the main (logout) menu).
    The only way to get the UI back properly is by pressing "m"key twice (opening and closing the map).

    - When it happens:
    It happens as soon as I click on the "?" icon in front of a quest objective in the MobMap quest-tracker panel, and ONLY if the "Suppress world map" feature is checked (turned on) in the MobMap-tracker options.

    - When it started to happen:
    after 3.3 launched

    - What I already tried:
    Turning off all addons except WoW, and (temporarily) removing all config files from /WTF/ folder. Still produces same result.

    - My guess of the source:
    probably happens if "Suppress world map" is enabled, but no (working) TomTom/Cartographer-Waypoints addon is found?

    - comment:
    Posting this not because it is a very serious bug, but, well, it took me quite some time to figure out I had to open and close the map to get my interface back ;)
    (I even couldn't open up the "main menu" (with logout etc.))

    Keep up the good work!
    MobMap still the number 1 favourite (by far) in my considerable addon list =)

  23. WillM says:

    Update Database Problem, It is too sensitive to heavy traffic on a connection when updating the database, need's a option to retry from the point it thinks there was no connection otherwise it keep's needing to restart from db 1. took me 9 try's to up date since it kept dying at different databases.

  24. Wolfgang Hömig-Groß says:

    Habe Probleme mit den Mobkoordinaten: da Cartographer gegenwärtig nicht funzt, habe ich Alphamap + Mozzfull + Handynotes als Ersatz installiert. Mobmap setzt sowohl in der Originalkarte als auch in den Alphamaps die Punkte für die Mobs falsch; ich würde auf konstanten Versatz tippen. Der Druidenlehrer in Sturmwind z.B. wird an einem Punkt angezeigt, der für Spieler nicht erreichbar ist, hinter der Stadtmauer Richtung Hafen. Das schränkt natürlich den Nutzen von Mobmap stark ein ... Nur mein Problem oder ein systematischer Fehler?

  25. Awudoin says:

    Thanks for the wonderful addon! I have been using it for a very long time now.

    This latest version is giving me a weird problem (though not an official error). When I click on the "M" next to any quest objective it seems to search only the mob names but nothing else.

    For example, while doing the Loremaster achievements I have the quest Whiskey Slim's Lost Grog. It asks me to collect Pupellyverbos Port x 12. However, when I click on the "M" it tells me it can't find it in the database. Searching manually, however, gives me the location. This used to work so I don't know what happened.

    I just tried again and it seems to search Quest Events and Mob Names but not Drops or Pickups.

    Thanks

  26. Noctemis says:

    Hello,
    Wrong dot positioning on the map with the addon Alpha Map and also with Cartographer - it happens also if only Mobmap and Alphamap is runnung and nohthing else

  27. Wolfgang Hömig-Groß says:

    Hello Slarti/Rene,

    this ist the same - very annoying - problem i reported in german on comment #18. Will you be able to fix this?

  28. Augur says:

    the same for me - wrong Dots

  29. Obeliskt says:

    ... same Problem - is there a way to fix it?

  30. Kronash says:

    Hello,
    I've got the problem that no dots are shown at my world-map. Mini-map no problem, still there, but that's no solution.
    Got the problem with WoW-patch 3.3
    I'm using Cartographer and Mobmap. I tried to update the whole pack and reinstall them. Nothing works.

  31. Kronash says:

    Solved.
    Cartographer is guilty

  32. Wolfgang Hömig-Groß says:

    OK, but the wrong positioning remains when you disable cartographer

  33. Schafott says:

    Dasselbe bei mir: Seit Update auf 3.53 werden die Marker permanent falsch angezeigt, lediglich das GPS-ähnliche System und die Minimap zeigen die Positionen korrekt an. Bis 3.50 hat es geholfen, die Map durch die Cartographeroptionen zu scalen.

    Besteht da eine chance, dass man in den Mobmap-Optionen ein "manuelles" Tuning der Positionen durchführen kann, sodass die Kartenpositionen kommod zu den Minimappostionen sind?

  34. Alyx says:

    Hi
    Ich benutze kein Cartographer
    troz dessen falsche dot Position.
    ich habe in der mobmap.lua die Line 2235
    so geändert

    frame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",MobMapDotParentFrame,"TOPLEFT",(x+1)*frame:GetWidth(),-(v.y+10)*frame:GetHeight());

    dann past es wieder in der grossen Map
    wenn man die Karte minimiert kommts in beiden fällen nicht hin.

    Grund es wird der Rand der Karte nicht berücksichtigt
    Ich denke Es Wird In Line 2264 ähnlich sein

  35. Schafott says:

    Ich werde das mal entsprechend ändern. Wäre cool, wenn dann die Pos wieder stimmt. Dann könnte man dies als Bugfix für Cartographer-User sehen!

    (Eine Anregung für das MobMap-Team, eine entsprechende Checkbx in das Plugin einzubauen, damit Cartographer-User nicht in der LUA rumbasteln müssen ;) )

  36. Schafott says:

    Anpassungen gemacht. Funzt prima! Jetzt stimmen die Coords auf der Karte wieder mit den (richtigen) Positionen auf der Minimap überein und auch auf der Gebietskarte ists okay.

    Danke für den Tip!

  37. Moatu says:

    One little cosmetic bug:

    Using a minimap addon like Minimapster or Sexymap, the dots visible on the minimap will stay static and permanently until UI reload, whenever I teleport to a different zone. As soon as I select another mob/etc, new dots appear and work as far as I can see, but the old dots remain visible and static

  38. YumiThaiBud says:

    I love this mod! Could you add a feature to move the "mobmap" button with the check mark (and the wording of the item being displayed on the map when selected by search) on the main map bottom line, it over writes Blizz's coordinates display, and since I cannot find a way to move or remove their coordinate display, I would love to be able to slide that whole button over to the right side. thank you

    Ich habe eine Frage, bzw. einen Vorschlag. Könnte man das Mobmapsymbol das einem Kommentare bzw. die Fundorte im Questtext anzeigt auch in die Questbeschreibung einbinden die man bekommt wenn man über die neue große Map eine Quest anklickt? Das wäre sehr praktisch, denn ich nutze diese neue Karte sehr gerne weil sie einem das Routenplanen sehr erleichtert. Für Kommentare muss ich dann aber immer nochmal extra das Questlog öffnen.
