MobMap v1.10 is out!

MobMap v1.10 has just been rolled out. This version brings several tiny improvements (options panel in MobMap, MobMap button on world map is now movable to the other side, MobMap position "dots" have their own transparency now) and a bigger change: the database has been split into 4 files which are now dynamically loaded in WoW as soon as the user accesses MobMap (position database) or a specific subsection of MobMap (quest/merchant/recipe database). This greatly reduces the time needed to load the addon when entering the WoW world and keeps memory usage down to a minimum.

The possibility to exclude certain parts of the database from the download has been removed because with this new load-on-demand system in place it isn't necessary anymore. If someone doesn't ever use the quest database for example, this database will never be loaded and will thus never occupy any memory. But the advantage of the new system over the old one is: If this user decides to use the quest database at some point, the database will be available.

I hope the transition from 1.0 to 1.10 is as smooth as possible. Because 1.10 and the new database subdivision brings a new MobMapUpdater and a new database format you will have to update the addon, the MobMapUpdater (if installed) and your local database copy all at once!

    Also das Addon ist megageil und ich bin echt ein Fan davon geworden. Eine Verbesserung hätte ich aber noch: Teilweise kann ja mobmap ja keine Infos herausrücken, wenn das Spiel die nicht selbst sammelt. Wie wäre es mit einer weiteren Datenbank, die Anwender mit Kommentaren füttern könnten.
    Z.B: Quest XYZ gibt ein Anwender einen Kommentar ab, wie sich die Quest lösen lässt. Oder ein Anwender gibt einen Kommentar, wie sich ein Boss-Mob am leichtesten killen lässt.

    Diese Informationen werden gesammelt und als eigene Datenbank optional (weil die ja naturgemäß extrem groß wird) angeboten. Wäre sicherlich eine Bereicherung an wertvollen Informationen, wenn alle fleißig mitmachen und diese Infos wären ingame abrufbar.
