MobMap 3.0 is out

So here it is - MobMap 3.0 for WoW 3.0.x!

I hope the transition is as smooth as possible, and that there aren't too many new bugs in this version. It doesn't add any new features, but there have been numerous mostly internal changes in order to maintain and extend MobMap in anticipation of WotLK.

Some of those changes also happened in the database format, which is the reason why you will have to download a new MobMap database after you've upgraded to v3.0! A fresh database in this new format is being built right now and should be online for download in a few minutes.

[edit] Okay, the new database is up for download!

    That is probably because the database is still in the old format. MobMap will show you an error message telling you to update the database on login if that is the case. That new database is being created right now, so please try to download a fresh database later (I will update this blog post when the process has finished).

    Hallo slarti, ich habe dir schon mal eine e-mail geschrieben. Aber das neue MobMap lässt sich immer noch nicht aktualisieren! Obwohl ich alles neu instaliert habe. Vor allen Dingen installiert sich nicht mehr die deutsche Datenbank automatisch, wie bei dem alten MobMap. Bei mir kommt immer die Meldung: Der MobMap-Server konnte nicht erreicht werden. Bitte überprüfe deine Internetverbindung und versuche es noch einmal. Diese sache ist ärgerlich weil ich eine HP für eine Gilde betreibe. Diese Fehlermeldung sollte endlich behoben werden. Weil das ein sehr hilfreiches AddOn ist. MfG Alon

    You probably have gotten v3.0 via the MobMapUpdater program (as 3.0 is only reachable via the updater right now, I haven't posted it for manual download yet, will do so though very soon). That tool also offers one-click database updates, just look at the button below the addon update button!

    Actually there are multiple database updates each day.

    The database will start collecting and including WotLK data as soon as WotLK is released. It shouldn't take more than one or two days until most of the data in the starting areas has been collected and included, with more to come as time goes by.

    there's a few problems with mobmap, it list all the rogues poisions, but rogues can now just buy them from a vendor so they no longer have to make them.. So that gotta be remove from the recipe list. An add in the inscription profession.

    Getting some UIDropDownMenu taint from clicking on a mob in the questlog to overlay on the main map. I've tried disabled all mods but MM and it still produces these errors. I'm running v3.0, and downloaded the database pack again just to be sure. Here's one of them (from clicking on Wrathbringer, from the quest "(69) The Best Defense"):

    ---------

    [2008/10/15 09:54:23-161-x1]: Interface\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:809: attempt to index local 'frame' (a number value):
    MobMap-MobMap v3.00\MobMap_pickupdb.lua:175: in function `MobMapPickupTypeFilter_OnLoad'
    :"*:OnLoad":1: in function
    : in function `LoadAddOn'
    MobMap-MobMap v3.00\MobMap.lua:3075: in function `MobMap_LoadDatabase'
    MobMap-MobMap v3.00\MobMap.lua:254: in function `MobMap_ParseQuestObjective'
    :"*:OnClick":6: in function

    ---------

    Also, is there still a way to move the placement of the Mobmap menu button on the map? In it's default position it overlaps the Mapster icon. I know I had moved it to a different corner before, but it's either been removed, or eluding me (likely the latter).

    Thanks :)

    So I have the latest version installed, but now when you hit the ? it is no longer showing where the mobs/or what drops the quest item on the map. It's only showing me the quest item.
