What's New

Latest
New career icons as part of the icon chooser
v0.3.8
New Pin Type Editor You can now change the icons, labels and other options for each type of MapMonster pin, simply right click the name of the pin type in the filter menu then select edit
Improved filters menu Now show the icon associated with each pin type for easy reference
New Icon choices! Can now choose from 115 different textures to use for your pin types using the pin type editor
New Custom Pin Sub Types can be added with the new slash command, see below
New Filter Reset Command re-enables all MapMonster filters via slash command
For developers 3 New API functions can now use the built in pin editor functions
Previous Updates
New and improved map tooltips! You can now see up to 14 pins that might be buried or near the map icon you are currently mousing over
Pin editor bug fixes Properly saves coordinates in the editor window, even if you don't press enter. Pressing enter still required to update the map marker position.
Seperate version of LibDateTime no longer necessary, included in MapMonster is a modified LibDateTime to try and work around some remaining CTD bugs
MapMonster editor and API now using AceLocale Translations for other languages needed for proper localization
Zone data fix for Black Fire Pass
MapMonster was written to be a one-stop shop for all custom map pin functionality.
For the player, you can view, make, edit, move, delete and share your pins with others, any zone, anywhere. If you left click on a map pin regular MapMonster pins will open the view window, map pins created by external addons will call their own functionality. If you right click on any MapMonster pin it will bring up the context menu for basic pin functions. At the top right corner of the zone map is also a filter button, it has 3 modes, All Pins, Default Pins, MapMonster Pins, for when you've got too much clutter, right clicking on the filter button will open the filters context menu and submenu so you can enable or disable the display for specific MapMonster pin types and sub types individually. To create a new pin simply CTRL+LEFT CLICK the location on the zone map you wish to make a pin and the editor will open and all fields will be editable to let you place a new pin for any zone in any location you want. You can also create a new pin right where your standing with the slash commands /mm or /mapmonster, simply type /mm new to open the editor with your current position already inserted.
For developer you can call MapMonster global API functions to create your own type of map pin and sub types, all with custom icons, tooltip text, when a player left clicks on one of your map pin the call is sent to your addon and you can enable any kind of functionality like opening the Tome of Knowledge, opening your own addon window, or anything else you want, right click are reserved for the MapMonster context menu. Full API reference on the CurseForge MapMonster project pages

Saving your data

To avoid losing your personal map pins or map pin data from other addons make sure to keep a copy of the MapMonster saved data file.

To backup your MapMonster saved data simply make a copy of the following file to a safe location before launching Warhammer to avoid any possible data loss should there be any issues, specially when upgrading to a newer version

<warhammer install folder>/user/interface/AllCharacters/MapMonster/SavedVariables.lua

Current Issues

Incomplete zone info
The following zones have incomplete zone information and will not function properly when adding, editing pin or for proper player position
  • Doomfist Crater, Black Fire Basin, Talabec Dam, High Pass Cemetery, Tor Anroc, Temple of Isha, Gromil Crossing, Howling Gorge, Reikland Hills, Battle for Praag, Serpent's Passage, Dragon's Bane, Maw of Madness, Thunder Valley, Grovod Caverns, Caledor Woods, Blood of the Black Cairn, Logrin's Forge
Those are T3, T4 scenario or end game zones. If you can help collect information for these zone please send me a private message with your character name, server, and usualy play time and I will be glad to come show you how to collect the missing zone info using MapMonster. Thanks for your help

    Created a ticket for this: pins created by clicking on the map have an offset applied from the correct position. Using /mm new works correctly. Also affects MapMonster Navigator.

  • Both my husband and I play, so sometimes I switch from one computer to the other. So, I was wondering if there is a way to save data across both computers, besides manually merging them, or is that something in the works...*crosses fingers*

  • "For the player, you can view, make, edit, move, delete and share your pins with others, any zone, anywhere."

    How do you share pins with others? or even with alts?

  • I'm getting strange problems with Map Monster - I add sub type map pins (gree, blue etc) and other characters don't see all of them - there doesn't seem to be any pattern to go by, although it isn't random. What can I do to make all characters see all of the pins I add?

    Thanks

  • Seems to be a problem since patch 1.21 - now a separate .lua data file is created for each character so data is no longer being shared among characters. Any plans to fix this?

  • To fix the persistent data across characters with 1.2.1 patch see this ticket here. Should also keep settings when you upgrade now too.

  • Hi,

    I've created a mod "MiniMapMonster" which will show your Map Monster waypoints on your minimap. Might be of use to some :)

    Cheers,
    Flim

  • Is there any way you can make the pins appear in cmap (Custom Map) - it's a far better map than the normal mini map.

    Thanks
    Adam

  • Anyone have a sharing of MapMonster coords much like WoW did with the Gatherer mod? I've seen a massive one in a UI I downloaded but it was in German :(

  • Just like to say thanks for putting all that effort in to the API, it's made writing WARCommander massively easier. Thanks!

    Is pin sharing enabled yet? It's greyed out on my menu. Love this addon so far!

  • I have been using this mod for awhile now, and I have to say that it is truly awesome. It makes it tons easier to find tome unlocks/mobs between multiple characters.

    I may not have looked good enough, but is there a way to diable to automarking on the map for trivial things, like "You have killed 25 enemy players" for a live event, or "You have achieved renown rank 55" etc.

    I'd love it if it would only automark the tome unlock mobs/locations for tome rewards.

    Looks like this conflicts with GroupAssistant (http://war.curse.com/downloads/war-addons/details/grpasst.aspx). Can't add notes by clicking on the map when these two mods are installed. Time to give GroupAssistant the flick for now! :)
