MobMap v3.53 for WoW 3.3.0
Wednesday, December 9. 2009
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there ain't no official Patch 3.3 version of good ol' Cartographer out there as far as I know, and fixing bugs with an out-of-date addon just isn't the real thing.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
