MobMap v2.01

The first (and hopefully last) bugfix release after version 2.00 is now online. This version addresses some issues which came up here in the blog comments:

v2.01:
- fixed: MobMap does not throw errors when completing quests anymore if Fizzwidgets Levelator is installed
- fixed: The minimap dots now stay where they should be and don't "move" around while you approach the target position
- fixed: The recipe minimum level number fields are now more tolerant to wider custom fonts


Besides that, I've got to say that the new quest comment feature is being accepted quite well. There have already been 60 perfectly useful comments submitted (well, for the german version - the english version only has 14 atm, but that's probably because MobMap seems to be way more popular in the german-speaking realm than with english-speaking people), and some more which unfortunately didn't make it into the database because they didn't really contain any new and useful information (please remember that every single comment uses a little memory of the MobMap users, which is why I hand-select the comments and why I have to be way more selective while choosing which comments get in and which don't than the web-based databases have to be).

If you've been a comment author, let me thank you for your efforts of improving MobMap even further!

    Great. I got a little suprised when I had one result and the map popped up instantly but I guess that's not a bug.

    Some features I would like for upcoming versions: absolutely all items and objects are in the addon and that mobmap is just 1 tickbox on the wow addon screen. And some beatiful artwork instead of black backgrounds would be neat.

    Thanks for this great addon. It would be nice if it would show the locations for all objective types ("event" objectives like "destroy/visit X" seems not to show up)

    That is exactly why I have added the user-generated comment system. I cannot reliably track or extract the locations for such objectives, but if just one user decides to take 30 seconds of his lifetime to write a comment with the coordinates, all MobMap users can identify the locations of the quest targets on their in-game map with the click of a button.

    Hmm, Cartographer Quest Objectives seems to have no problem with tracking Quest events. Havent looked at the code though, but the events really seem to be picked up at the correct location! :)

    That is interesting...I tried implementing such a mechanism once, but had severe reliability problems. But I admit that was quite some time ago, so I might give it another shot somewhere in the near future...

    Okay, I see, I must have either been blind those days when I tried it myself or Blizzard has changed something in their APIs since then. Tracking these quest objectives actually doesn't seem to be too hard :)

    I guess I can add positions for those objectives to MobMap rather soon (well, not in a few days, but maybe in the next weeks). And since there ain't too many quests with such objectives, it shouldn't even have a big impact on database size when implemented carefully.

    That would REALLY be great! Thanks so much!! :)

    I really second the request from mars. I think its a pain that Quest "events" are not tracked. :( Right now I have to use Cartographer Quest Objectives to monitor all quests. Whould really like to drop it since it uses a huge amount of memory.

    Keep up the great work! :=)

    I'm having the same problem as Omega. Everytime I click on the "top-level" question mark in the quest-log (i.e. the one for the whole quest, not an individual mob / drop), I get the following exception:

    Okey, since yesterday, I have been experimenting some issue with mobmap 2.1, in this case the mobmap interface doesn´t appear anymore. I have the mini-map icon in the screen, but when I press it, there isn´t any response. The same issue if I type /mobmap show.
    I uninstall/install the addon 4 times, I erase my .lua and the WTF. What else can I do. This is the first time I have any issue with mobmap.

    #10.1 2008-05-29 01:01 (Reply)

    Did you already check if MobMap shows up if it's the only addon that's active? There might be an interference with some other addon, though that shouldn't really stop the whole window from appearing (but it's still possible...).

    #10.1.1 2008-05-30 05:53 (Reply)

    hey Slarti, i have a question for you...
    im having some trouble with the mobmap ui, its pretty silly, but it is configured properly and works on all my characters exept one. my druid.. when i open the mobmap main GUI nothing appears to happen, however when i click a quest information or location on a quest it works and the minimap icon is there, i have tried reloading and reinstaling mobmap. nothing. i think i may have moved the window out of reach and it is saving that setting, i dont know how to reset it :(

    Hi Slarti,

    thanks for the great addon! Unfortunately i am also suffering from this bug since version 2.01:

    Message: ..\AddOns\MobMap\MobMap.lua line 2825:

    I am using the following quest-related addons:

    bEQL (QuestLog, wowace)
    nQuestLog (QuestTracker, wowace)

    Can you please have a look at this?

    Kind regards
    Alex

    Slartie, I've been using the last version 2.01 of the mod, and I found a bug that doesn't allow to finish quests.
    it happens when you go to get the quest reward, when you click on complete quest, nothing happens...
    when I disable the addon, everithing works fine.

    I m playing on a private server with client version 2.3.3
    Do you know if this bug may have something to do with the client version??

    thanks

  21. Slarti says:
    #11.1 2008-05-29 00:59 (Reply)

    Yes, it definitely may. The most current MobMap version is ALWAYS designed to work with the most current official WoW version - private servers are not supported in any way.
